Cancer & Gut

It’s not just your gut that has a microbiome, your tumors do too. That’s the shocking truth uncovered by cancer researchers, and it’s rewriting everything we thought we knew about cancer treatment.

Scientists have found that tumors harbor their own bacterial ecosystems, and these microbes play a powerful role in how cancer grows, spreads, and, most importantly, responds to treatment. And what you eat can directly influence them.

In a groundbreaking study, cancer patients who consumed just a bit more dietary fiber saw a 30% increase in survival. Why? Because fiber feeds the good microbes, helping them activate the immune system, reduce inflammation, and improve the body’s response to chemotherapy and immunotherapy.

Meanwhile, patients who took antibiotics, especially broad-spectrum types, had the opposite effect. These drugs wiped out both harmful and helpful microbes, weakening the body’s natural defenses and reducing treatment success. Survival rates dropped.

This means your gut health and tumor microbiome are not just connected, they’re critical allies in your fight against cancer.

Even small changes like adding more beans, berries, leafy greens, or oats to your diet could help shift your internal environment to favor healing. This isn’t alternative medicine, this is hard science meeting smart nutrition.

Your microbiome is the hidden player influencing survival odds, and now we know: food fuels the fighters inside you.

I have joined with many parents affected with the surreal , yet accepted issue of child abuse via Pathogenic Parenting / Domestic abuse. As a survivor of Domestic Abuse, denial abounded that 3 sons were not affected. In my desire to be family to those who have found me lacking . As a survivor of psychiatric abuse, therapist who abused also and toxic prescribed medications took me to hell on earth with few moments of heaven. I will share my life, my experiences and my studies and research.. I will talk to small circles and I will council ; as targeted parents , grandparents , aunts , uncles etc. , are denied contact with a child for reasons that serve the abuser ...further abusing the child. I grasp the trauma and I have looked at the lost connection to a higher power.. I grasp when one is accustomed to privilege, equality can feel like discrimination.. Shame and affluence silences a lot of facts , truths that have been labeled "negative". It is about liberation of the soul from projections of a alienator , and abuser ..
