Short-Term Fasting Yields Big Effects in Ovarian Cancer – ASCO Study Shows
A provocative new study presented at the 2026 annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) looks like a milestone in the long and often controversial history of metabolic approaches to cancer.
The Beljanski Legacy of Integrative Cancer Science
Sylvie Beljanski joins Ben Moss and Dr. Ralph W. Moss to discuss the legacy of Mirko Beljanski, the plant-based compounds at the center of his research, and the continuing work of The Beljanski Foundation on cancer stem cells and integrative cancer care.
Soy and Breast Cancer: New Trial Challenges Old Fears
Few foods have been as persistently debated in cancer prevention as soybeans. For years, naysayers have warned that their isoflavones, plant compounds that can weakly mimic estrogen, might stimulate breast tissue and potentially raise cancer risk.
Shilajit and Cancer
Few substances are as strange or as intriguing as shilajit. This sticky, tar-like material seeps from cracks in rocks in high mountain ranges, especially the Himalayas. It forms slowly over centuries from the decomposition of plants and microorganisms.
A Compound in Broccoli Targets Cancer Pathways
Laboratory studies suggest that sulforaphane helps regulate so-called reactive oxygen species, unstable molecules that can damage cells but also play a role in cancer growth. In doing so, it has been shown to slow tumor cell proliferation, trigger apoptosis, and reduce the ability of cancer cells to spread (metastasis).
Milk Thistle May Ease Side Effects of Chemotherapy
Milk thistle's active component is silymarin, a mixture of flavonoids with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. There are now close to 1,000 scientific papers indexed in PubMed that mention silymarin...
Ketogenic Diet and Breast Cancer
A ketogenic diet alters the body’s internal environment in three key ways: it raises levels of ketone bodies such as beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), lowers circulating glucose, and reduces insulin levels. Each of these changes has been proposed to influence cancer biology.

The Science is Trustworthy. The industry? Not so much.
The cancer industry is a for-profit business. Regardless how we feel about that – it’s a fact.
When unprofitable treatments threaten its revenues, the industry will fight back in whatever way it can.
Dr. Ralph W. Moss (Stanford Ph.D.) was fired from Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in 1977 for refusing to lie about the results of a promising study on a non-toxic cancer treatment.
He took the story public, blowing the whistle about the lies, corruption and the suppression of less-toxic, more natural treatments in his books, publications, and via national media coverage, including 60 Minutes, the NY Times and many others.
