I recall reading a study describing cancerous/mutated cells very similarly. I don’t recall exactly but the study was in regards to diet (maybe specifically vitamins/minerals or antioxidants) that promoted detection (again I don’t recall but maybe by the immune system).
As I remeber the diet not only was supposed to improve detection but response and I think the improved response included the body releasing other cells (again I don’t remember but think fat cells, although that doesn’t sound right) to surround/isolate/starve the cancer cells, so in a best case the cancer cells would die and if they wouldn’t die then they would not be permitted to grow/replicate/freely travel.
Does this ring a bell to you vis-a-vis any diet?
