I won’t reply to comments to this, so here it is:
The patient’s metabolism isn’t doing a damned thing: It’s all about the immune system.
Lucky for the patient the choices are working. But ‘keto’ is not panacea. In fact, ‘keto’ is dangerously myopic, particularly for someone with cancer.
But hey: If I didn’t have my current knowledge and developed brain cancer, I’d try anything, too.
Those curious about the link between diet and cancer should access and read this paper, which preceded the mad rush to profit off of people via ‘diet’ and medical therapies by a couple decades:
The cure of advanced cancer by diet therapy: a summary of 30 years of clinical experimentation
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/751079/
But the key is to avoid getting cancer in the first place, isn’t it? (rhetorical)
Plus the fact that this patient had a unique mutation in his cancer which happened to respond well to this self-treatment. 82 months post-diagnosis is nothing to shake a stick at, but he shouldn’t travel to Vegas in the belief that luck is on his side...nor should anyone with cancer blindly adopt a myopic dietary regimen in the mistaken belief that it’s going to cure what ails you...
There is a type of glioblastoma that is slow growing compared to the more common and aggressive form which is fast growing. The life expectancy for someone with the aggressive form, from time of diagnosis is 1-2 years while the less aggressive form can be up to 6 or more years.
Without or without KMT mindfulness techniques to reduce stress, he’d probably be at the same place he is now. But get back to me after 7 – 10 years and tell me if he survived.
Wish I thought you were trustworthy but the South Beach diet works...
ANS it was written by a Miami Beach heart doctor who had great results with his patients, esp. those overweight and type II diabetes.
I will add I’ve read more than a few accounts of doctors/experts blaming this diet for causing heart attacks and to that I say horse hockey. Maybe folks with a bad ticker should not be on this diet but it’s ridiculous to blame getting off of carbs and sugars and then claiming this diet causes the very problems that are likely already there from poor diet and a complete lack of exercise.
And I read some of your posting history, experimental covid vaccines are not the answer when anyone can boost their immune system with proper diet and exercise. These ‘vaccines’ are crippling and killing many who trust the ‘experts’ - CDC, NIH, Fauci etc.
Correct, this specifically works for him because of a mutation in his cancer.
A more normal carb diet is fine if you can burn off the converted carbs through work or exercise in a timely manner or if you ate low Glycemic Index/Load carbs, which cause a much lower spike in blood glucose and insulin response. However, all carbs ingested will make one’s blood glucose and insulin go above the baseline a low carb diet creates. For some people, those spikes are a step too far, simply because of their bodies under the constraints they’ve sadly allowed, and even complex carb spikes further their current dysfunction.
Dr. Atkins’s expectation under the final phase of the Atkins diet was people ingesting no more than 100 grams of carbs, preferably all complex, for life. My guess is that you would find that a healthy approach, am I right?
I will say my wife and I eat seaweed and enjoy it and we will occasionally have natto with mustard (a strange, yet fun food).
I will look through your reference. Thank you!
