That would be irrelevant if, by the time your friend adopted the diet,
he already had cancer process. No amount of phytochemicals helps with
a cancer already underway.

Again, cancer takes years from the time a cell starts dividing
uncontrollably, until the time cancer becomes inoperable -- in most
cases.

So, a diet adopted in the last year pre-diagnosis, is of little
relevance.

Sorry, I wasn't clear; shortly after the kidney stones (years on the diet) he
was diagnosed with cancer. Kidney problems are most definitely a risk
for some people in a high protein diet.

I don't believe the diet *caused* the cancer but rather *promoted* its growth.
(The cancer was diffuse rather than a discrete tumor, therefore not removeable.)

Best advice, based on years of reading (in science and nutrition): eat plenty of
nutrient-dense fruits and vegetables.
