The Telegraph gave you the trade name and the corresponding generic name in their version of this story. Erbitux is a monoclonal antibody that targets a protein called the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR).
That's from a FDA Q & A on it.
In fact, avoid all foods with high fructose corn syrup and hydrogenated oils. Stick to foods in their natural form. Meat, fish, nuts, vegetables, etc.
Also walk at least 5 miles (10,000 steps) each day, every day.
This, I believe, will combat most diseases including cancer.
Since adopting this lifestyle on April 1, 2003, I have not been sick since.

Red wine is known to increase a woman’s breast cancer risk at the same time that it cuts her heart disease risk, so there’s no real benefit to red wine for most women.
That said, my uncle died today from lung cancer that metastasized to his liver, so any possible advances in inhibiting tumors sound great to me.
I’m 45 years old. I do no other exercise except walking. I should state that 5 miles a day is my minimum. I usually do more than that and on weekends, I try to do 10 miles a day (mostly walking through trails in the woods).
I’m into prevention. I’m not anti-cancer. I do not embrace a mindset of cancer prevention doing the things I do. I embrace life and living life to the fullest, having the best day ever. I honestly do not believe most of this country is oriented towards prevention because it’s too much work and not supported by health insurance.
Grape seed extract is a very good alternative to folks who do not want to drink red wine.
Does the grape seed extract also carry the same risk/benefit as red wine as related to breast cancer/heart disease?
No it doesn’t. It has none of the alcohol. Boy if I don’t take a few caps of it a day with the glucosamine/msm thing, I’d have the world’s worst immune system and back ever. My regular job is a nurse aide.
FWIW, my father died of cancer when he was 79. Lifestyle related being under heavy stress from his other child. I think truly happy people can get away with some ‘bad’ things because their happy mental state produces a lot of good things for the immune system. Food stuffs counts for some but I know a lot of folks with cancer who are under heavy stress,etc.etc.
