Hannah Bradley's Story

The Huffington Post have recently shown the following article about Hannah's fight against a very aggressive brain tumour called Anaplastic Astrocytoma.

Hannah's desire to beat this cancer led to make a number of treatments, clinical trials and lifestyle changes. One of the biggest changes has been dietary; specifically cutting out most sugars from her diet.

Learning that the exclusive food of cancer is sugar, Hannah cut out, almost completely, starchy carbohydrates and refined sugars by incorporating a sugar free/starch free food plan. The idea being that this diet would feed the body and mind and starve the cancer into submission.

Lovely couple. Pleased to hear she is progressing well and I wish both Hannah and her partner Pete all the best for the future.

Nausea Drug Can Kill Brain Tumours

Interesting article on ZeeNews last week. This find certainly offers further opportunities to study possible brain tumour treatments over the coming years. Let's hope the funding is available:

Recent research from the University of Adelaide where the use of a drug called Emend has been used to stop substance P (a peptide associated with inflammation in the brain). The result was found to be a reduction in brain tumour growth - and also caused cell death in the tumour cells.

Very Exciting results!
