When I look back through “blog roll” or “top tags” of Solitarius.org while searching for answers to cancer in this centralized hub of cancer research. Just like you ~ still to this day: One — I’m fascinated by all the options when it comes to treatment. Two — the month of July, I brought forth the best treatments, and Three — I found the ketogenic diet one of the most promising treatments of /and prevention for cancer. What with cancer treatment having all it’s negative side effects with robust cost one should consider a cancer fighting body as a key to longevity.
Could a ketogenic diet eventually be a “standard of care,” drug free treatment for cancer (Chris Wark and Kris Carr while others seemingly think so.) A ketogenic diet eliminating all refined carbohydrates except non – starchy carbohydrates (artichokes, asparagus, avocado, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cucumber, green beans, green peppers, peas and zucchini is exactly what the doctor has ordered.)
When you replace refined and starchy carbohydrates with healthy fat and high quality protein sources and not synthetic protein sources. The premise is cancer cells need glucose to thrive and carbohydrates turn into glucose. Then lowering glucose levels in your blood though carbohydrate and protein restriction should starve cancer cells. Additionally, than low protein intake tends to minimize the mTOR pathway that accelerates cell proliferations including cancer cells.
Dr. Thomas Seyfried, whom is one of the leading pioneers promoting nutrition in combating cancer, however, is cautious in his evaluation of mTOR pathway and reducing protein for cancer prevention. In his view the most important aspect of cancer prevention and treatment is fasting intermittently, or overall calorie restriction which includes eating less of everything period while getting more exercise /Bicycling.
Dr. Seyfried states, “while calories from carbohydrates should be virtually eliminated, calories from protein just need to be reduced. While most people need to increase their healthful fat consumption with a more ideal ratio of good fat to protein.” The mechanism by which ketogenic diets manage epileptic seizures is unknown. However in the case of cancer it’s well established lowering glucose starves cancer cells, however, what is also known the diet can be hard to stay on for any length of time.
