In her book How to Starve Cancer, author and cancer survivor Jane McClelland outlines her method of starving cancer cells to shrink and kill them.
McClelland discovered that cancer stem cells are resistant to conventional therapies. Even if they disappear after chemotherapy and radiation, they can return aggressively.
Her method combines conventional cancer treatments with alternative approaches to develop a new protocol that practitioners worldwide use.
Jane McClelland’s Story
McClelland was diagnosed with stage IV cervical cancer, for which she underwent conventional treatment. Then, a few years later, she was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer and was considered terminal.
That’s when McClelland decided to dig deeper and see what she could do besides undergo radiation and chemotherapy. Her research led to her idea of starving cancer cells, based in part on work that was done by scientist Otto Warburg in the early 20th century.
McClelland decided to take a two-pronged approach to her second diagnosis. First, she had surgery to remove the tumor in her lungs, then underwent chemotherapy for six months at a lower dose than her oncologist recommended. At the same time, she developed a strategy that combined nutrition with an unconventional cocktail of medication to starve her cancer cells.
How do you Starve a Tumor?
McClelland started aggressively taking supplements to inhibit pathways for cancer cells. These included the following:
● Berberine
● Hydroxycitrate
● Gymnema
● Curcumin
● Niacin
● Pycnogenol
● Quercetin
● Silibinin
● Polydatin
● Vitamin D
● Indole-3 carbinol
● Ursolic acid
● EGCG
● Sodium selenite
● Sea buckthorn oil
● Omega-3 fish oils
● Bergamot
● Luteolin
● Artemisinin
McClelland notes that intravenous vitamin C was critical for her plan because it has been shown to block a significant energy supply line for cancer cells. So, it effectively starves cancerous cells and triggers their death.
Additionally, she recommends:
- 1. Fasting
- 2. Following a low glycemic diet
- 3. Taking a combination of the right off-label, low-toxicity medications.
Low-Cost Medications that Starve Cancer
During her research on how to starve cancer, McClelland came across several off-patent drugs that cut off cancer cells’ fuel sources, allowing cancer patients to starve cancer cells without starving the rest of their bodies.
Dipyridamole: A cardiovascular drug that stops proteins from getting into cancer cells.
Lovastatin combined with etodolac: Known for lowering cholesterol, statins block the cell surface receptor Glut1. Most cancers use this to get more glucose so they can live. McClelland discovered that taking the statin Lovastatin together with the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) etodolac could cause cell death.
Metformin: This diabetes drug can also cut off the supply of glucose and insulin to cancer cells.
Doxycycline: This antibiotic can slow the formation of new cancer cells.
Mebendazole: This anti-worming pill prevents cancer cells from taking more glucose. (Some cancer patients are using Fenbendazole for cancer, typically used as a dog dewormer.)
Does Starving Cancer Cells Work?
McClelland credits her method of how to starve cancer cells with her recovery from multiple bouts of cancer. In addition, people who have followed her protocols have also achieved success. So, it is possible that following McClelland’s methods of how to starve cancer, can have positive results for cancer patients.
It’s important to remember that McClelland combined her alternative methods with some conventional methods, including surgery and chemotherapy. Therefore, discussing your treatment plan with your care provider is always best, especially if you are taking supplements or other medications. That way, they can alert you of any potential health risks or drug interactions.

FAQ
Is Jane McLelland still alive?
Yes. She has beat cancer
What kind of cancer did Jane McLelland have?
Cervical, lung, and blood cancers.
What does it mean to starve cancer?
Jane’s book, How To Starve Cancer, is ultimately the story of her own miraculous recovery and her journey to pass on what she learned to others. Starving cancer involves taking a combination of low toxicity drugs, not normally used for cancer, alongside a low glycaemic diet and powerful supplements. This combination ‘starves’ cancer of glucose, glutamine and fat so that the cancer cells cannot survive.
What is COC protocol?
The COC Protocol is a combined regimen of four commonly prescribed medications, each with evidence of metabolically-based anticancer activity, and well-understood safety profiles. These medications are metformin, atorvastatin, doxycycline, and mebendazole.
