I have that book. :(
My wife died four months ago from cancer. We went very low carb, as cancer feeds primarily on glucose. But your body always makes enough to keep the cancer alive.
Most cells in the body can run on an alternate fuel called ketones, which are produced by the liver when fat is broken down. Cancer cells cannot use ketones. In the late ‘60’s, Dr. George Cahill fasted a group of volunteers for forty days. He showed in starvation, the brain runs on two thirds ketones, one third glucose. He then infused insulin, forcing glucose to a very low level. Normally, this would be fatal, but the subject had no ill effects, as the brain actually prefers ketones to glucose.
Adam Kapelner, a math professor, has proposed a cancer treatment based on Dr. Cahill’s research. He was a guest on the Keto Savage podcast. I think it’s about an hour long. Very interesting:

His paper is here:

So sorry to hear that. God be with you sir.
