I’d agree with Peat on the PUFA and foods rich in iron, especially foods “fortified” with iron. A high bodily iron load is fairly easily reduced, with blood donation in most cases. I think the inflammatory aminos are a distant third, a focus on balancing them out with glycine or gelatin can help a lot. Peat in his last year took some extreme measures to lower methionine, and I think on the whole it was counterproductive, and at the very least, ineffective. I would focus more on adding gelatin than cutting down on meat.
I think a secondary problem with the high iron, especially fortified iron, is how much it favors bacterial growth. This probably leads to higher levels of endotoxin, serotonin, and lactate, all of which are cancer promoters. I suspect some sort of gut protocol focused on lowering overall bacteria numbers can be very helpful.
Last, I’m not even sure how bad most cancers are on their own. A lot of the fears of cancer actually are from the “treatments,” and it may very well be that the treatments are shortening life spans to a greater degree than cancers themselves.
