From Diabetes to Cancer and all other auto-immune diseases, there is one cause. Its leaky gut. It is caused by abuse of small intestine by modern food system and lifestyle. The “net” in your digestive tract gets damaged!
This allows unwanted proteins (like gluten), bad bacteria, toxins and undigested particles to pass into your blood stream. Then it leads systemic inflammation and an auto-immune reaction over time.
Food supplies both nutrients and calories (energy). All calories come from only three elements: carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Micronutrients, on the other hand, are noncaloric food factors, such as vitamins, minerals, fibers, and phytochemicals. These noncaloric nutrients are vitally important for good health. The key to optimizing your health and achieving your ideal body weight is to eat predominantly those foods that have a relatively high proportion of nutrients (noncaloric food factors) to calories (carbohydrates, fats, and proteins).
Intense Lifestyle Changes Required to Reverse and Cure Diabetes. Diabetes is Caused by Poor Diet and Inactive Lifestyle
The New England Journal of Medicine concludes that `the majority of cases of Type II diabetes could be prevented by the adoption of a healthier lifestyle`.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapyDr. Sumit KUMAR
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

Dr MC Dougalls Diet Program for Chronic Diseases - Xulon Lifestyle Retreat Center
1. Dr. McDougall’s Color Picture Book
“Food Poisoning”
How to Cure It
by Eating Beans, Corn, Pasta,
Potatoes, Rice, etc.*
*Examples of foods shown to cure food poisoning are
made only of McDougall recommended ingredients.
See our website www.drmcdougall.com for free
recipes and detailed instructions (no gimmicks).
2. Moderation does not work for changing life-destroying habits.
A cigarette smoker never quits by cutting down.
Alcoholics do not sober up by switching to beer or wine.
You must treat food poisoning with the same
good or evil,
right or wrong,
go or stop,
green or red
attitude as you would treat drug addiction.
Forget about being reasonable,
sensible, prudent, or moderate.
You Can’t!
You Must Fix the Food
Just Say “NO”
To foods that are poisoning you and your family.
3. We Have Truth and
Success on Our Side*
*Big Food: The Meat, Dairy, Egg, Fish, and Processed Food
Industries have all the money. But we will beat them in
the end.

4. The McDougall Diet
The truth is simple and easy to understand:
The McDougall Diet is based on
starches with vegetables and fruits.
The McDougall Diet does not contain
any animal foods or vegetable oils.
The McDougall Diet may contain
some salt, sugar, and/or spice.
5. Starches
Starches are plant parts that store large
amounts of energy for daily activities. They
are very low in fat with no cholesterol. They
are rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals.
Starches are essential to satisfy your appetite
and they make you trim, strong, and healthy.
Eat starch!
6. Non-Starchy
Vegetables
These plant parts provide interest, color,
flavor, and some important nutrition
(vitamins A and C). They are insufficient in
calories to provide for daily energy needs.
They should be side dishes only.
You must eat a starch-based diet!
7. Fruits
Fruits are mostly simple sugar with some
vitamins and minerals. They provide a
flavorful (sweet) addition to meals.
However, appetite satisfaction is minimal.
Generally, 1 to 4 fruits daily is a good goal.
You must eat a starch-based diet!
8. Not Food!
All animal products are full of cholesterol,
animal protein and fat; with no starch, dietary
fiber, or other essential sugars for health.
They are infiltrated with big doses of people-
poisoning environmental chemicals and loads
of infection-causing bacteria, parasites, and
viruses.
9. People Are Sick from
Eating Like Kings & Queens
Historical writings and pictures tell how wealthy people
who ate meat, poultry, fish, cheese, milk, etc. became fat and
sick.
The difference is that now billions of people, because of
“progress” (the industrial revolution and the harnessing of
fossil fuels), eat like the aristocrats of the past.
What else would you expect from eating all these rich foods?
Served at Burger King & Dairy Queen (McDonalds, Taco Bell,
KFC, all restaurants, groceries, etc.)
17. A Surefire Cure
Your body is always
trying to heal itself.
Simply stop the food poisoning
and the diseases quickly improve
and/or go away.
Again: Food poisoning is
primarily caused by eating
animal foods and vegetable oils.
18. Benefits Happen Quickly
Within 24 hours expect relief of constipation,
indigestion, GERD, oily skin, fatigue, etc. to begin.
Within 7 days expect:
3.5 pound (1.5 Kg) weight loss.
(if starting overweight)
22 mg/dl (0.6 IU) reduction in total cholesterol.
8/4 mmHg reduction in blood pressure.
(and BP medications are often stopped)
Arthritis is greatly improved.
In most cases medications for hypertension,
type-2 diabetes, indigestion, etc. can be stopped
(Under doctors’ supervision, of course).
Within 4 months most chronic problems
from food poisoning are a matter of history.
This is a cost-free, side-effect-free treatment.
19. One of the Earliest Controlled
“Scientific” Trials
of the McDougall Diet
A Bible story 2600 years ago: Daniel and his men,
eating vegetables, were compared to men eating
animal foods (like most Americans do now). At the
end of the ten days the vegetarians looked healthier
and better nourished than any of the young men who
ate the royal food.
20. Gladiators Were the
“Barley Men”
Strength and endurance come from eating starches.
Think about the warriors of the past and the long
distance runners of today: They are powered by
starches. Winners never eat much meat, poultry,
dairy, etc.
29. Fake Meats and Cheeses
(hot dogs, sausages, burgers, lunch meats,
cheeses, ice creams, etc.) Most are made from
isolated-proteins from soybeans combined with
other chemicals. Also avoid those made from
proteins of wheat, pea, fungi, etc.)
Do Not Eat
31. False Advertising in order
to Sell Dangerous Foods
The meat industries say you must eat
their products for protein…
The dairy industries say their products
are necessary for calcium…
“Omega-3 fats” and fish comes to mind,
immediately…
The truth is that protein and calcium
deficiencies have never been reported
on any natural diet sufficient in calories...
and only plants can make omega-3 fats.
No fish or other animal can make them.
32. Eat Starches:
All large populations throughout history ate
primarily starch: corn, rice, potatoes, etc.
33. Cold Cereal
(wheat, rice, corn, millet, etc.)
Use fruit juice, or a little rice or soy milk,
etc. to moisten.
Eat Lots Of
36. Hash Brown Potatoes
Oil-free. “Fry” in a non-stick pan or
electric griddle. Top with salsa,
ketchup, other sauces, etc.
Eat Lots Of
37. Bean Soups
(Minestrone, white bean, pea, lentil, etc.)
Cook in slow cooker or pot.
Buy already prepared in boxes and cans.
Eat Lots Of

Eat Lots Of
39. Vegetable Soups
(tomato, onion, corn, carrot, barley, etc.)
Make a big pot and eat all week long
with breads, baked potatoes,
and other convenient starches.
Eat Lots Of
41. Mashed Potatoes
(Idaho, russet, Yukon gold, etc.)
Eat for breakfast, lunch and/or dinner.
Potatoes provide complete nutrition:
protein, amino acids, calcium,
iron, fiber, vitamin C, etc.
Eat Lots Of
42. Sweet Potatoes
(baked, mashed, boiled, etc.)
You can successfully live on a diet
of sweet potatoes alone
until you find other meals to eat.
Eat Lots Of
43. Breads
(whole grain wheat, rye, etc.)
Bread is known as “the staff of life” for good
reasons. Do not use butter, etc.
Eat Lots Of
45. Lasagna
(whole wheat, vegetables, tomato sauce, etc.)
Make with your favorite “no oil”
sauces and spices. No cheese or meat.
Eat Lots Of
46. Pizza
(whole wheat, vegetables, tomato sauce, etc.)
Make with your favorite “no oil”
sauces and spices. No cheese or meat.
Eat Lots Of
47. Brown Rice
(and all other whole grains)
Even white rice is better for you
than animal foods and vegetable oils.
Eat Lots Of
48. Rice & Vegetable Dishes
Sometimes all you can find is white rice
and other refined grain products.
Of course, whole grain is better.
Eat Lots Of
49. Vegetable Sushi
White rice and white noodles
are far better for you than
animal foods and vegetable oils.
Look at billions of trim, fit Asians.
Eat Lots Of
50. Beans, Rice, and Corn
Eat simple meals of starches then
add some green vegetables and fruits
for vitamins A and C.
Eat Lots Of
51. Grain-based Salads
(bulgur, barley, millet, couscous,
quinoa, farro, maize, rice etc.)
These are traditional
Middle Eastern foods.
No vegetable oils, of course.
Eat Lots Of
52. Whole Grain and Bean
Patty Burgers
(Not soy burgers)
Garnish with lettuce, tomato, mustard,
ketchup, pickle relish, etc.
Eat Lots Of
53. Whole Grain Bread and
Vegetable (Bean) Spread
Sandwiches
(No fake soy-based-meats and cheeses)
Eat Lots Of
54. Fruits
Eat a few – like 1 to 4 a day. They are mostly
simple sugars which offer only short-time
appetite satisfaction – you will be left hungry.
These add interest to a starch-based meal plan but
will not sustain you. Starch will satisfy!
Eat Some
55. Non-Starchy Vegetables
Eat a few daily. If you eat a diet of green,
yellow, red, and orange non-starchy
vegetables you will be hungry all the time.
These foods do add interest and some
concentrated nutrients to a starch-based meal
plan but they will not sustain you.
Eat Some
56. Tofu and Other Natural Soy
They are fat-filled. Tofu, miso, soy milk, etc.
are fine as a condiment. Not as the main course.
Remember – No fake meats and cheeses.
Be Careful
57. Nuts and Seeds
They are fat-filled. They will keep you
overweight and obese.
You may become a “Fat Vegan.”
Helpful for those in need of gaining weight.
Be Careful
58. Avocados
They are fat-filled. 90% of calories are
from “good” but fattening fat.
Helpful for those in need of gaining weight.
Be Careful
59. Dried Fruits
High simple sugar calories.
Minimal appetite satisfaction.
Helpful to gain weight
and for endurance athletes.
Be Careful
60. Juices
They are high in simple sugar calories.
The quality of a food is not improved
by beating it a thousand times
with a steel blade. Also true with
blending vegetables into juices.
Be Careful
61. Salt, Sugar & Spice
Most people can use these flavors.
If in doubt then check with your
professional healthcare advisors.
Be Careful
62. Vitamins, minerals, and other plant nutrients
are essential for health, but you must get
them in their natural packages. Isolated
concentrated nutrients found in pills increase
your risk of death, heart disease, and cancer.
The only exception is vitamin B12.
Do Not Take Supplements
63. The risk of a B12 deficiency disease is
extremely small (1 in a million) and takes
more than 3 years to develop.
To avoid even small risks, take this
supplement. The need is fewer than 5
micrograms (mcg) daily.
However, the smallest doses sold in stores
are 500 mcg. Likely, no side effects occur from
the excess. Once a week is adequate.
Do Take Vitamin B12
64. Some Light Exercise
(walking, swimming, bicycling, etc.)
Don’t hurt yourself with strenuous activities.
Some Sunshine is Essential
(vitamin D and other benefits)
But not too much.
Sunshine & Exercise
65. If not to save yourself
and your family, how about
saving planet Earth?
The livestock industries are producing
over half of the global warming gasses.
The meat, poultry, egg, dairy, and fish
industries are major unregulated polluters
of the environment.
Fortunately, we can stop this overnight.
Say “No” to food poisoning!
Instead, eat beans, bread, corn, pasta,
potatoes, sweet potatoes, rice, etc.
