Dr. Siddharth Mukherjee is an assistant professor of medicine at Columbia University and a cancer physician and researcher.
In this video, he describes a set of actions to achieve long remission. He opines that resistant cancer cells creates a protective layer around them through a different metabolism of nutrients and this layer makes them resistant. So we must understand the metabolic pathways using which the cancer cells builds this layer and disrupt that using nutritional and target therapy, and once the layers is damaged enough strike with immunotherapy to kill the cell.
He is cofounder of Faeth Therapeutic which deals with the pathway to destroy cancer as depicted in the video.
Question
Anyone aware of this?
Any info about success?
Anyone around Columbia university feels interested enough to check if he has anything to offer for us?

Nice theory. Thanks for the info. I was using Doxycycline plus Metformin and aspirin before and now intermittently oral vitamin C.
I had SBRT irradiation of my Prostate and I am on Degarelix for more than 5 years now and I also had early chemotherapy plus early global liquid radiation. Actually I had 4 PSMA pet scans every 2 weeks. Gallium 68. I am not sure if all of these helps but I am still alive after 5 years after my diagnosis as polymetastatic in my bones also with distant mets in my C spine.
I was also on crestor for a long time but I stopped everything because I developed osteoporosis and need cholesterol in order to synthesize vitamin D in my skin with the help of UVB.
Amino-Acids Restrictions by designing special cancer specific food menus sounds appealing and in combination with cytotoxic treatments maybe effective. On their website they have two trials... non of them for prostate cancer.
Having said the above, I was on a water only fast for 28 days and my cancer was growing absolutely with the same PSADT (3.5 weeks doubling time) as I was drinking alcohol and eating burgers and ice creams....
After water only fast - I stopped being vegan (was for 11 months with no soy and no bread) and currently eat seafood, fish and lamb as much as I want. If I want to eat nice desert or gelato - I enjoy it as well. Otherwise I eat a lot of fruits and some veggies, use olive oil, was drinking wines... but just recently lost interest in wine for spiritual reasons and don't crave alcohol anymore.
Controlling cancer by food and supplements has a lot of appeal and I think it is very feasible with early prostate cancer... we on this forum passed this stage ... and food is one of the pleasures that I intent to enjoy till I leave this physical body.
I wish good luck to this company endeavor however!
My husband’s opinion as well. He was a strict vegetarian (tho not vegan) for approximately 20 years before his PCa Dx. He started eating meat again when undergoing his first rounds of chemo to gain some weight. Now he feels he’s going to enjoy what he wants in moderation for the time he has left
Siddhartha is a great mind and writer. I recommend all of his books. But he is speaking of cancer in general and not specifically of PCa which is metabolically variable and different from most other cancers.
Just eat everything you like and what you can afford. As Mateo said our cancer can change quickly and feed on something else. I eat everything what I can afford and what I like.
Try doxycycylin 100mg per day, metformine no more than 3x500 mg per day and vitamin C up to 5 times 1g per day every hour up to 5 h per day orally (1g every hour for up to 5h per day.) In total maximum 5g per day. (I am doing vitamin C intermittently.)
I also started again Crestor. I am taking 40mg per day.
