Abstract
Methods of screening cancerous cells for nutritional weaknesses and methods of treating cancer nutritionally are disclosed. Certain cancers depend on being supplied with one or more nutrients that are non-essential for normal cells. In particular, the invention relates to methods of treating cancer by identifying nutritional weaknesses of cancer cells and using nutritional therapy to suppress cancer by putting a subject on a diet that deprives cancerous cells of a nutrient needed for cancer proliferation and growth. Nutritional therapy can be used to enhance the effectiveness of current cancer treatments.
