Methionine Restricted Diet




Nutrition is a powerful tool in controlling tumor growth as well as making cancer cells much more susceptible to treatment. The trick is in supporting normal healthy cells while depriving cancer cells of essential nutrients.





Cancer cells are highly dependent on several different amino acids for growth and cell division. Cancer cells are universally dependent on methionine. It is both practical and effective to limit the dietary intake of methionine as a means to starve cancer cells of this essential nutrient. Normal cells are unharmed by short term limitation of methionine. Methionine restriction is very powerful and may be sufficient as a standalone therapy for many early stage cancers
