Yeah. Have you ever seen the food schedule for someone who beat cancer? Surf and Turf. Steak and Potatoes. Salmon and Chicken. 4 or 5 meals a day once your appetite comes back.

Cancer treatments typically deplete the body of protein and lean tissue, and most doctors agree that eating meat is just the fastest/easiest way to recover.

Its possible/probable a macrobiotic diet could contain enough protein and still be 100% vegan, but if there's another "imbalance" (say GMO Soy or Legumes which contain Estrogen) that could create issues he's had to deal with during his recovery.

When I was in the UK I tried out "quorn" - I think that was how you spelled it. Basically a fungal/mushroom grown substance that is high in protein. All the vegoes I knew loved it (actually it tasted good to me), that and lots of beans/legumes.
