There is a lot of well-deserved skepticism out there when it comes to the effects of diet on cancer outcomes, and understandably this post has been heavily downvoted. You may be interested in reading some recent studies regarding the effectiveness of ketogenic diets on the outcomes of cancer patients:

There is an interesting theory that cancer is related to the electrical potential of the cell. To quote the paper Gerald Pollack has written on the theory:
How might these features of electrical potential relate to the issue of cancer?
While the magnitude of the stable electrical potential may vary among different cells, typically it lies in the range of -50 mV to -100 mV. When we were carrying out electrophysiological measurements during early career, we knew that when the electrical potential was of smaller magnitude, the cell might be struggling to stay alive and it was time to switch to specimens with more normal electrical potentials. Others knew the same. That experience squares with the idea of the electrical potential as a critical feature of cell function. For the cell to operate properly, it must maintain a robust negative electrical potential.
Thus, a striking clue comes from the electrical potential of cancer cells. That potential magnitude is consistently small. Compared to the electrical potential of most normal cells, cancer cells exhibit potentials on the order of only 10 - 15 mV. That low electrical potential is seen over diverse cancer-cell types [31-35]. It is a characteristic feature.
There is also some evidence for deuterium-depleted water being related to cancer pathology. Water seems to play a part in cancer. It's important to note that these are both just theories, but they are also both consistent with the Warburg hypothesis.
Hopefully we get a better view into the disease state sooner than later. A holistic approach may be far better than the reductionist way of seeing cancer as a genetic condition.
It is a appealing theory, but what makes this hard for me to get behind is how I can experience a effect.
Keto I can see and measure
Carnivore I can see and measure
This electrical charge of cells and the interaction with heavy water feels interesting on a academic level, but nothing I can experiment and see.
I'm onboard with getting people into the context they evolved for, so in that vein grounding makes perfect sense.
Agreed.
I'm not sure how we can experiment with the various kinds of water mentioned in this body of research at all. We can do the best we can with our current understanding by providing our body with sufficient radiant energy from exposure to sunlight, eating food with low deuterium (primarily animal sources), and grounding. However I've found it impossibly difficult to quantify, and so when asked about it I can only say that there's no harm in trying.
Cancer doesn't exist as we understand it. All cancer is, to the people who actually suffered through it, is just a nasty parasite problem that can be fixed with something like fenbendozole and/or ivermectin when protocols on how to do it are researched.
That's just how I see it. Coffee and green tea also have great health benefits, and can help with those issues too.
How would you define the mechanisms of this parasite?
My mode of cancer fits the Warburg hypothesis, that it's principally a disorder of the mitochondria. I.e. cancer as a metabolic disease https://doi.org/10.1186/1743-7075-7-7
For the drugs you mention, what is their mechanism of action. How do they interact with your model of this parasite?
In terms of metabolic diseases, I do understand chronically fermenting cells, though I partially think about polyps from parasites, as most diseases come from parasites (terrain theory, however, postulates that if the terrain is bad, then health tends to go down with it).
Fenbendozole and ivermectin are anti-parasitic drugs (hence, why they were banned for some amount of time) from what I'm aware of..
I'm still not seeing how cancer is a parasite
