Cancer Patients: You’re Eating, But Still Disappearing. Here’s Why.
Category: Cancer & Emotional Wellness
Many cancer patients say, “But I’m eating,” and yet their body keeps breaking down. Weight drops. Strength fades. Muscle disappears.
This is not failure, and it is not lack of effort. Cancer changes how the body uses food, so eating can happen without real nourishment. Here’s what’s happening and what to do.

Starving With Cancer? How Zinc Impacts Appetite Signals and Taste
Category: Appetite Loss Solutions
Starving with cancer isn’t just “not eating enough.” Often, taste changes happen first — metallic, bitter, or just off — and appetite follows because your brain isn’t getting the usual hunger signals.
Zinc plays a key role in how taste and appetite signals work, and low zinc can be one contributor to the struggle.
Labs don’t always tell the full story, and forcing calories doesn’t fix the signal.
For those who can still eat, foods like pumpkin seeds, oats, lentils, mushrooms, and miso broth may help support zinc. But when eating becomes impossible, the conversation needs to shift — sometimes the body needs support for the signal first.
This isn’t about blame. It’s about understanding the signal, supporting your body, and taking one step at a time.

Baking Soda and Cancer – What the Research Actually Shows (Supportive Care That Works)
Category: Appetite Loss Solutions
Baking soda and cancer. I’m going to tell you what the research actually shows, what it’s useful for, and why you’ll never hear this from your oncologist. Tumors create an acidic environment around themselves, and researchers at the University of Arizona Cancer Center found that baking soda can raise the pH around tumors in mice. In some cases, that slowed metastasis or made chemotherapy work better. Where baking soda is actually useful is supportive care—mouth sores, dry mouth, thick saliva, and metallic taste. A simple baking soda rinse can make food tolerable again when everything tastes like metal or your mouth feels raw.
