How a Terminal Diagnosis Sparked a Revolution in Cancer Care
Jane McLelland is a chartered physiotherapist who worked extensively in both the NHS and the private sector. After being given a terminal diagnosis with only a few weeks to live, Jane embarked on a desperate search for answers, uncovering research — some of it decades old — in her quest to survive. Rather than focusing on curing cancer, which is often unachievable, her strategy was to stop the disease from growing. Remarkably, her approach not only halted its progress — the cancer disappeared altogether.
Using herself as a human guinea pig, Jane devised a pioneering protocol: a cocktail of low-toxicity, repurposed drugs not typically used for cancer, combined with a low-glycaemic diet and powerful supplements. This regimen effectively “starved” her cancer of its essential fuels — glucose, glutamine, and fat. She later captured this groundbreaking method in her ingenious and easy-to-follow “McLelland Metro Map,” which continues to guide patients and practitioners worldwide.
“Cocktail! It’s all about educating yourself, and trying to work out you fenotype of your cocktail, or what the cancers is behaving like, what it needs, what its driven by, what’s fueling it. If you see cancer like a parasite that its constantly needing to feed, if it doesn’t have the food, it just withers away and dies, Fact, that’s what happens, it can’t continue unless its constantly feeding and constantly dividing, it won’t survive... reboot the immune system at the same time, so that we have an immune system that keeps it suppressed. ”
In her work, Jane shares her deep exploration into cancer treatment and management. She highlights the profound impact of diet — particularly the benefits of a low-glycaemic approach, eliminating dairy, and reducing meat consumption. She also demonstrates how lifestyle changes can influence health outcomes, including how carefully calibrated, low-dose chemotherapy can bolster, rather than suppress, the immune system.
Her journey through a wide spectrum of treatments — from natural supplements to rigorously researched drug combinations — offers invaluable insights into alternative and integrative cancer management strategies. Throughout, she provides practical advice on strengthening the immune system, supporting gut health, and tailoring treatment plans to individual needs.
Jane’s story is not just about survival against impossible odds; it is about thriving, inspiring, and empowering others to take charge of their health. Through her research, personal experience, and innovative thinking, she continues to illuminate new pathways of hope in the fight against cancer.
