Understand that hyperglycemia accelerates rapid tumor growth; actively lowering blood sugar levels can slow tumor growth and aid in long-term cancer management without toxicity.
Target the fermentation metabolism of cancer cells by restricting their primary fuels, glucose and glutamine, while transitioning the body to non-fermentable fuels like ketone bodies and fatty acids, which normal cells can use but tumor cells cannot.
Recognize that modern diet, lifestyles, and environment contribute to cancer by causing mitochondrial malfunction; adopt a ‘right diet and lifestyle’ including exercise and ketogenesis to keep mitochondria healthy and make cancer development more difficult.
Consider specific low-carb diets to achieve nutritional ketosis, as ketones act as a ‘super fuel’ for mitochondria, reducing reactive oxygen species and enhancing mitochondrial health and function.
Utilize a glucose ketone index (GKI) meter to measure your blood glucose and ketone levels, aiming for a ratio of 2.0 or below to achieve maximal metabolic homeostasis and put pressure on cancer cells.
Limit the consumption of poorly nutritious, processed carbohydrates (like high-fructose corn syrup) to prevent obesity and elevated blood sugar, which are major risk factors and accelerants for tumor growth.
Engage in regular exercise to bring oxygen into your blood, improve blood flow, and increase overall physiological function, which is essential for maintaining healthy mitochondria and reducing cancer risk.
Understand that obesity is a major risk factor for cancer, now replacing smoking in significance, and take steps to manage body weight.
Consider water-only fasting to significantly lower blood glucose and glutamine levels while elevating ketones, which has been observed to help eliminate cancer in some individuals (consult a professional due to intensity).
If facing a cancer diagnosis, consider starting with a zero-carb diet for about 10 days to gradually lower your GKI before transitioning to water-only fasting, easing the body’s adjustment.
Under professional guidance, consider using repurposed drugs that can interrupt the glutamine pathway (glutaminolysis) as part of a ‘press pulse’ therapeutic strategy, in combination with dietary interventions, to manage cancer.
Explore hyperbaric oxygen therapy as an alternative to radiation, but only after achieving a state of ketosis (low blood sugar, high ketones), as this combination effectively kills cancer cells by increasing reactive oxygen species without harming normal body cells.
Reduce exposure to contaminants in the atmosphere, consume fewer poorly nutritious foods, and increase exercise to lessen insults to the body that contribute to chronic diseases, including cancer.
Actively manage chronic stress, as it is one of the lifestyle factors that can make a real difference in reducing your risk of cancer in the future.
Prioritize getting good quality sleep as it is an important lifestyle factor that contributes to overall health and can help reduce cancer risk.
Before making any drastic dietary changes, especially if you have a cancer diagnosis, consult a qualified healthcare professional.
For overweight or obese individuals with cancer, understand that therapeutic weight loss (e.g., through fasting or ketogenic diets) can be beneficial, as the body mobilizes fats that tumor cells cannot use, distinguishing it from pathological weight loss.
Advocate for the integration of metabolic therapy, potentially as a primary or initial approach, to manage cancer, recognizing its scientific basis and potential to enhance the success of existing treatments.
Understand that many genetic mutations observed in cancer are largely downstream effects (epiphenomena) of damage to oxidative phosphorylation, rather than the primary causes of the disease.
If diagnosed with a brain tumor, consider minimizing or avoiding radiation treatment, as it can inadvertently create a microenvironment rich in glucose and glutamine, accelerating tumor growth.
