Excellent research! Keep it up! 41 years ago 3 different hospitals predicted I had 3 months to live because of a melon-sized teratoma at the age of my 19th birthday. Surgery removed the tumor, however, they recommended NOT to go through chemotherapy because no one at that time had ever beaten this disease at that time-- and that I should enjoy the final 3 months of my life with my family. That was totally unacceptable. A fourth hospital took my case. After 2 years of chemo the exploratory surgery showed the cancer was totally gone. Now, I wonder was it the chemo that saved me or the fasting I did for 3-4 days in a row per month x 2 years. It turns out that during chemo, I got nausea so acutely, that I could not eat nor even smell food, without throwing up-- even on an empty tummy. The one drug that could ease nausea caused my throat to close/tongue swell within minutes of the injection. So, of course, I just dealt with nausea. Now, I wonder if the nausea was the God-send. . . because it meant to fasting 3-4 days in a row, monthly x 2 years. This fasting starved my cancer cells of glucose. Btw, I'm still strong at 61-- for a person that wasn't expected to live past 19 years.
+Audrey Fischer What if chemo 'works' because of the nausea and ketosis that sets in, not the chemo itself? And all that toxin is a horrible unneeded torture?
+Audrey Fischer If i may say a thing or two. People dont have a clue, how healthy is fasting. I am a muslim, and we have a holy month RAMADAN, where you fast from dawnt till sundown for a whole month. Not only is spiritualy very healthy, but your and maany other cases are proof that is even phisicalyy ver important to fast, since you get rid of many toxicants. I could give you a countless reasons why fasting is good.. Our beloved prophet(peace and bllesings be upon him) used to fast oftenly. I am glad that you have beaten this sneaky disease with the help of God. Continue enjoying your life.
+Audrey Fischer It might have been a combination of the 2. The chemo weakened the cells and the lack of glucose finished them off.Many adaptations happen when the body is in starvation mode. Our ancestors had to go very regularly through periods of starvation, so obviously the body had to adapt to it. So I think it makes perfect sense to try and use those adaptations to starve cancer cells.
Battery9876 - But if the combination of chemo and ketosis is what works, the docs should at least find a way to MENTION it.... or maybe they could suggest fasting or ketosis first, then try the poisons if there's still an issue. But of course, that would require putting people before profits, and paying attention to 100 year old knowledge bases.
Alot of people are going to be really upset when they find out their loved ones had an opportunity to live, but was not given this choice due to ignorance, or miss information from healthcare providers.
I am very pissed off!! Very!! We searched and researched for help... went to Duke Univ... not one time did anyone ask if he was in the military, or was he a diver, or what kind of diet was he on. They shot him up with chemo, radiation, decadron, keppra and Avastin...he was dead 5 months after diagnosis... I'm really pissed off because I asked, I called... even the American Cancer Society said...we are sorry there is no cure for a high grade glioma... well thanks a lot.
sOn1N3feS Cancer cells feed on sugar from carbohydrates. Cut out the carbohydrates and eat a high fat diet called the keto diet and cancer will not survive without glucose which is from carbohydrates.
They are people like anyone. That is how people are. You are responsible for your own well being. Do research. How successful are the 'standard' treatments?
I have been listening to a number of lectures on alternative cancer research. It is very upsetting that the medical community just refuses to give the patient the info they need, and let the cancer patient decide. Are they really trying to cure cancer, or just protecting their own little world. Sad but true cancer is big business Doctors need to make their patients aware of any research that may benefit their patients, whether it goes against the established medical community or not.
Meanwhile, at my oncologist's plush office, they had candy out in a bowl for all the poor bald chemo patients to eat to make them 'feel better' about their bad day... when will chemo and radiation be seen as the torture it is, and nontoxic treatments like this be the norm? No one EVER mentions diet to you when you're diagnosed with cancer. They just want to know how much your insurance will pay for.
@@iggles1967 the hospital meal after my fathers first chemo treatment was a mystery meat & mustard sandwich followed up with jelly & custard. Dispicable. I threw it in the bin & bought him salad & veggies.
My mom was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, chronic kidney disease, and diabetes. Her A1C at its peak was 9 and the chemo treatment landed her on her death bed. We were told to start planning her funeral and she would never walk again. She walked out of the hospital a year later. She lost 45 pounds in the hospital but regained them back and more and her cancer began getting bad again. I began doing research. Put her on the ketogenic diet and began natural supplements. Her A1C is now 5.9, kidney function is better, and cancer is slowly diminishing. Every one of her doctors are shocked and have told her they have never in their career seen such improvement, but do you think they have ever asked what she is doing to get better? She is doing well and has lost 80 pounds. I’m a firm believer that sugar feeds cancer.
Was diagnosed diagnosed-with non Hodgkin lymphoma. It has not mestatisized. Had one chemo. Now waiting for PET scan-my Tues. need prayer and a good diet.
Really glad for your mum positive experience. My business has started when I started study nutrition and its effects on human performance and health. My brother has dropped the pressure pill, my dad has blood test of a non diabetic person. My mum, which is slightly obese will start at the end of the month to follow a high fat nutritional approach which I use with all my clients. They are kind of astonished of how much butter and saturated fats I advice them to use!
@Terence Young-New Thought Transformational Speaker, SO WHERE CAN WE GET THIS TREATMENT - 5 YEARS LATER ?? Thanks so much... really need it for Dad with Colon C.
Imagine if the cure for cancer is simply a good diet and treatment in a Hyperbaric chamber? Unfortunately, with no overpriced drugs involved, it will be hard to get funding for this research.
I'm a chronic cluster head and I'm using ketodiet to control my clusters. At today, i'have had a total remission for 9 months. If drugs don't work, or simply if you are tired of side effects, definitely you have to give it a try!
Congrats. And definitely many drugs don't work as the blood brain barrier keeps medication out! Research has shown that high dosage of Omega-3 fatty acids are definitely more beneficial than medication on several different brain pathologies.
try adding magnesium, potassium and d3 to your diet. helps for veto side effects. today it's 2 years almost pain free (maybe 20 attacks in two years. They used to be three a day...)
+RandomStuff H onesto they appear to be the side effects of topamax. However, go on FB and search a group Called chetogenesi. It's an Italian group, leaded by the neurologist who is taking care of me. Maybe he can find a way, he is a really good person. Of course you can add me also.
Bless this guy. He's obviously nervous, but this information is too important not to talk about. We need serious research into personalized cancer treatment with various natural methods: diet, anti-angiogenic foods, anti-cancer herbs, and other methods.
Fasting kills cancer. Cancer cells are cheap imitations of normal cells, and while normal cells can handle fasting perectly well, the cancer cell cannot. Fasting was so common for our human ancestors, and all cultures had to deal with food shortages, especially in winter. In addition, immune system function skyrockets during fasting, fighting pathogens and disease producing organisms. It's like the body kows what to do...
While in the UK, people with cancer are told to keep their weight up. He was even prescribed weigh gaining drinks to keep up his weight. Its as if they know it will finish them off. It was my neighbour, he was 60 years old but fit as a fiddle and looked ten years younger till the cancer struck him. I tried to tell him, but unfortunately he took the doctors advice instead and died spot on time when his doctor said (3 months).
@ATF Are you in your fifth day or have you been doing it a while? I must have read that wrong.. does it show improvement very quickly then? Sounds very good!
What type of fasting are you recommending? Also UK doctors, not suprised they left me for dead so I went to Italy and they have managed everything good.
I do a keto diet and fasting every other day. Best thing I've ever done for myself. I used to weight 272 pounds, which is a lot for my 5'5" height. Began on June 6 of this year. Today, August 26 I weight 180 pounds and I have never felt better in my life. My energy is up, my mood is better, I sleep better, I can actually make myself workout everyday! My skin is clearing up, my brain is working better, I have become more productive and found purpose in life again. The ketogenic diet, fasting, working out, and staying clear of any processed foods and sugar has changed my life. And the best of all, ketogenic food is AWESOME! (clean keto, not cheese in every bite haha)
I find it interesting that we've been sitting on this information for decades. People should follow a ketogenic diet, even if just from time to time, as a cancer preventive.
I think even 3 months a year of strict keto and fasting should be enough medicine to tide most people through life. That one would closely replicate the long cold winters our ancestors had to endure.
This video is 10 years old (and still great!) For anyone looking into this therapy, seek out the publications of Thomas Seyfried, not forgetting this speaker. There are many videos on RUclips too.
Love your work mate. Thank you so much for your research and insight. I hope you find a way to share this with the masses for health benefits and a modest profit.
This research is extremely interesting. I truly hope that this method will be used throughout the medical field to treat cancer one day. Nobody deserves to go through the horrors of chemotherapy and live out the last few months of their lives this way. I cannot imagine the pain they must go through while receiving this treatment. I hope that this diet will be an alternative to chemotherapy one day. It is truly fascinating how much of an impact your diet can have on your overall health. It affects so much more than just your body weight. Epilepsy and cancer are horrific diseases that are many times treated with powerful drugs and the fact that something as simple as changing your diet could have this big of an impact is so amazing to me. I hope that in the future, the science of ketones lead to more medical breakthroughs.
Great stuff! It's Jeffrey, I'm fighting Melanoma with my eating and Immunotherapy. I am intermittent fasting, Vegan and spending time in ketosis, losing more weight than I want to, but building up immunity.
I'm on ketruda and started following keto diet w intermediate fasting up to 18 hours a day. Shame in moderate medicine. They want us to be kept in the darkness of death.
I lost my daughter at 19 to Ewing’s sarcoma. There is a site specifically to raise funds for that form of cancer and our girls story is on there along with many others with the same disease. Interestingly two survived last time I looked. One was a long distance cyclist and the other was a long distance runner so plenty of intake of oxygen. Wish I’d known about all this at the time. Also I now know people that help sufferers through a change of diet and often help them survive. Happy to share that info and the book and site etc if asked. Yes I am one of those very frustrated people that could still have my daughter here but we were guided through pharma cause my wife worked in it.
Bravo, Dr D. we need more medical scientist like you. It saved a few of my loved ones' health, some very serious, when I practiced on them what I learnt from Dr. D early 2013. one of my loved ones, who's a SEAL for 14 years himself, didn't know about this experiment but now is also cutting on his carb intake. But being young and heavily trained, he wasn't aware of the damaging effect of carb on him. Please spread the good words! Thanks
At the University of South Florida they are also doing research on Alzheimer's and ketogenic diet and supplements. They have been able to halt the development of Alzheimer's and even reverse it. Something no drug can do. The research is continuing, don't know how much more they have to go.
Yes, it is true. Ketogenic Diet is very promising. Moreover, if you combine Ketogenic Diet with Coimbra Protocol (a protocol that uses high doses of vitamin D3, Magnesium and Ribloflavin) the results are excellent. Coimbra Protocol was created to treat autoimune diseases, but it has good results with Parkinson and Alzheimer too.
Posted 4 years ago, but thanks for the info/ reminder (I'd heard about that a while ago, but totally forgot)! Just started at USF and I'm looking to get into research. I believe their Alzheimer's lab is called the Bird Institute. I'll definitely seek out who is conducting that research, if it's still underway. There's always more to learn. :-)
i had a weird bump of fat tissues on my leg since teenage years, gone after a month of keto when it wasn't even my goal, i was trying to lose weigth! Also my dad had epilepsy and solved it with keto without even really knowing or understanding how it all worked, all he knew is the new diet = no seizures! Much cheaper than the decades of worthless drugs he submitted to.
Mederel Ustarki i grew up with epilepsy. Grand and petit mal seizures. I was on dilantin and phenolbarbitol and had ear, throat and nose infections as well as severe strept throat. I stopped dairy and it all went away. I am 62 now. I became seizure free when I was young but suffered through my youth. Humans do not need cow, sheep or goat milk to thrive.
@@ArtOfHealth I dont believe that adults should drink milk. After all just think about it no other mammal drinks milk after they are weaned from their mothers.
@@carrieweaver6161 which is why there are so many people lactose intolerant: it is the 'base' version. But over the course of our evolution, some humans have adapted to use other animals to help feed them, so the became lactose tolerant. A handy evolution to have. But the milk we buy today in the average store is of course a long cry from the milk we used to drink directly from the animals. My guess is that's where the truth is to be found
I switched over to the keto genic diet six months ago after my doctor suggested I do that because of my PSA numbers. I stuck to it and after the six months I went back for another blood test and the PSA had dropped significantly. But even if it hadn’t I am so happy about the lack of inflammation that I have anymore. As a 70 year old active guy, arthritis has been slowly creeping into the picture. Now, I’ve had not had that at all . I attributed to decreasing my carbohydrate intake while on keto.
PSA counts rise for a number of reasons including BPH and caffeine intake. And ketohas its drawbacks including the fact that ketones are a fuel source for cancer cells.
@@Hveragerthi "...ketones are a fuel source for cancer cells." Everything I have read says that the fuel source for cancer cells is glucose. Normal cells can use either glucose or ketones as fuel. Cancer cells can use only glucose. Next, you will say that the brain needs glucose. Again, what I read says that, if you are on a ketogenic diet, your body will make enough glucose to feed the parts of the brain that need it. I have provided no links, and for that I apologize.
@@Hveragerthi Unlike healthy tissues, cancer cells cannot efficiently process ketone bodies for energy. Ketones also slow the proliferation of tumor cells.
@@kylelad10 Wrong, read the studies I posted here previously. Ketones are not only one of various fuel sources for cancer cells, but ketones also promote cancer cell metastases by allowing activation of hyaluronidase and proteolytic enzymes needed for natural cancer cell metastases.
@@Hveragerthi it’s scientifically correct - Ketones are not generally considered a preferred fuel source for cancer cells. In fact, the Warburg effect, which describes the tendency of cancer cells to predominantly utilize glucose for energy even in the presence of oxygen, is a well-established characteristic of many cancer cells.
Absolutely. Also, we carry the true power of nutritional ketosis & hyperbaric oxygen therapy with us, 24/7. We need only to understand that we have that power within us, and take the bold steps to learn and apply the necessary techniques. Heal thyself.
I did keto for 4 months when I found myself at 283 pounds. After the end of it all o was 214 pounds. 3 months after that with a low-moderate carb diet and I was down to 190. Keto helped me become aware of my eating decisions especially surrounding carbohydrate intake.
So sorry for your sister...Wow RUclips really helps, I didn't about this. I mean i'd vaguely heard about the Oxygen thing but didn't take it seriuosly.
I’m trying to save my friend with lung cancer, but since doctors tell her to fatten up for chemo, even though the research points to fasting and keto, what can I do? I’ve tried to save 4 loved ones in all, but they, understandably, listen to their doctors and not to me. It’s understandable…but sadly, doctors give bad advice.
We love Dom and his wife Csilla! We spoke with another scientist in his lab, Angela Poff, for our documentary on Cancer. The first episode is mostly about the Warburg Effect.
Great presentation. I've been in ketosis for about 20 months and LOVE how it feels ! I don't think I have any cancers, but this way, I can feel confident to avoid any future potentials. Meanwhile, it sure feels good for my brain's faculties, and steady blood sugar, and clean teeth, and never feel starving - just add water !
Belal - how's it going for you now? I've just gotten started about 6 months ago and have the same results you mention in your post. I'm really enjoying being a feral beast these days! Amazing.
Awesome man! I started last week after doing 10 months of intermittent fasting. I only lost 10 pounds in those months, but still eating junk. Decided that i was time to eat healthy. Dropped 6 pounds in 6 days, bet it was mostly water retention from all those carbs I was eating. Feeling great and less hungry. This is something I want to keep at for the rest of my life.
@@donnavorce8856 I've gone full carnivore now - zero carbs, and it's even better than ketogenic. I'm 63 and have the best muscular striations ever (shredded) and never feel starved, a glass of water takes any hunger sensations away immediately.
As someone who recently lost a friend to cancer, I wish I knew this years ago. Of course, she never told me it was cancer for a couple of years, and I am grateful that after being given a few months to live that she lasted several years. Still, the medicine she took caused her weight to balloon. If I knew of fasting, I would have encouraged it if only to see her better and still have her here. I wish at some point a doctor mentioned it. I plan to switch to a fasting lifestyle. Modern medicnrecan be such BS at times, caring more about making money than the best treatment (especially, if it's 100% free and costs nothing).
First of all cancer cells can use glucose, fructose, ketones, lactate, fatty acids and some amino acids as fuel sources. Since some of these are produced by the body, it is IMPOSSIBLE to starve cancer cells. Secondly, many cancer patients develop a wasting condition called cachexia, and fasting can be absolutely detrimental to a person with cachexia. In fact, most cancer patients die from malnutrition, not their cancers.
A lot of bits and pieces here, if you have been down this road and beat it please tell people how you did it. That's your testimony and you made it to help others with that testimony. We are losing too many love ones to cancer, some want to know how to beat it, naturally, no one got cancer because they didn't have enough kemo/radiation in there body.
It's amazing to me that this could truly cure cancer without damaging healthy cells compared to chemotherapy or radiation. Think about all the lives we could save if this theory is true?
So just like anything else, cancer has a weakness and that weakness is this "sugar addiction", but what else does it take? Is it just the lack of sugar and ketogenic diet that would be able to clear out the cancer? I love this research that has been done and look forward to reading/hearing more about the ketogenic diet because what it's sounding like is that there are a lot of positive aspects, but are there any downsides? Another question that I hope someone could answer is how long would it take to "cure" a disease like cancer or epilepsy via the ketogenic diet? I've always believed that most of the cures for our illnesses can be found in nature and seeing this video reaffirms my belief in that. Keep up the good work and keep asking the important questions.
Dr.Dominic thank you so much for all of your hard work! I have listened to a lot of your interviews, and your work is such an inspiration. I experiment with myself in Keto all the time, I hope to find out why it was so hard for your keno-adaptation (because mine has been brutal is well) Your so polite, its so funny to me that people keep getting your name wrong- and you dont correct them! Please keep up the great work!
as a young child..i had severe Epilepsy seizures.... and than all the sudden..it all just stopped by the time i was 14years old....my doctors was all surprised.... i was NOT on any good diets or medications....... NO SEIZURES..i swear to GOD!!!!! it just disappeared on its own..LUCKY ME.. i am now 39 years old. EPILEPSY FREE.wooohoo😆
I had cancer when I was 10 years old. Chemo is one of the worst things you can ever do to your body. If my parents knew what I know now we would have never gone that route in fact I would never do chemotherapy ever in my lifetime again. Because now I know what to do you need to fast 72 hours in a row and I do it once a month. Water only. And hopefully my lifestyle of ketogenic and my regularly fasting lifestyle will keep me from ever having cancer again.
Ketones are not only a fuel source for cancer cells, they also promote cancer metastases by activating hyaluronidase and proteolytic enzymes needed for natural cancer cell metastases. I posted studies on this here previously.
Good diet (since 2003) has been a contributary factor of my being able to overtake and overcome cancer (I have had no cancer now for 5 years) as well as assisting my 2 year journey through Clinical and invasive surgery to finally get over my very 'rabid' Atrial Fibrillation and Atrial Flutter Events. I developed my various chemically balanced diets using self monitoring. I can invariably boast excellent Cholesterol levels - as well as pretty-well all other Blood test results. I will be 84 years old in 10 days - and I augment my good diets with exercise (average 45 minutes every day)
Cancer cells can use glucose, fructose, ketones, lactate, fatty acids and some amino acids as fuel sources. Since some of these are produced by the body, anybody claiming you can starve cancer cells is totally clueless.
@@Hveragerthi Cancer cells cannot use oxidative phosphorylation for the production of ATP; limiting cancer cells access to glucose and certain amino acids(glutamine, mainly) greatly impairs their metabolism.
@@WingmanSR Better do some real research because you are wrong. Research has shown that cancer cells derive roughly 50% of their energy production from oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos). In fact, both healthy cells and cancer cells use glycolysis followed by OxPhos for energy production, just in different ratios. Check the medical journals, all sorts of studies proving this.
Cant help but comment, my father has prostate ca, had biopsy a month ago bcoz of high psa 27, no bone scan yet, it was scheduled for today but machine was malfunctioning so maybe at thursday it would go, ...anyway since chemo, radiation and brachy sounded so painful and depressing we opted to try barley grass supplements, the company who makes these supplements also has a wellness clinic with integrative medicine doctors, so we went there and papa was told to stop all meat, stop canned food, foods with preservatives, stop any food product from animals and replace milk with soymilk or almond milk and go with organic vegetables and tofu to replace meat, was also told to up the barley grass intake and was given some other immune boosting supplement, i wonder if this can be considered a ketogenic diet??? Papa doesnt want chemo, we dont want chemo too, but if ever it is absolutely needed i believe this dieting and supplement can make him overcome chemo...Would love to hear from anyone reading this
@@jerrysingh1617 he cant always follow the diet so during the times he is not disciploned the cancer gets worse, we did get hormone treatment, it did work for a time but as of now perhaps chemo is needed
I started the keto diet last week and noticed yesterday as I was sitting in a meeting that floaters in my eye are starting to fade away. My co workers were looking at me funny cause I kept looking at the white board rolling my eyes in circles trying to find them lol.
I am sceptical. A family member had cancer and on some days could not eat due to medication and side effects of chemo. So in theory it should have wiped out the cancer. I know her daughter was careful about her diet and was not allowed sugar. On her final days she was in and out of hospital and not eating. They put her on drips. So again more chances to starve the cancer. I think for every survivor story, there are those who lost their battle.....
Those "drips" were likely quite high in glucose (the number one nutrient in parenteral feeding formulas), and therefore defeated all the benefits of fasting :(
I've followed the keto diet, with regular fasting, for 3 years now. I have no lupus symptoms (after fighting it for 20+ years) and my RLS is now non-existent. There's definitely something to this regimen.
It looked liked he stopped the Speech when it just started to get interesting :-) (yeah, i know its a 'limited time' TED talk) Thank you for sharing. I wish such news be spread so everyone can start trying out these non-toxic alternative therapies. More than the disease itself, the treatments for these diseases are the most dreaded (not just for the patients themselves but for their loved ones around them).
Using the Ketogenic diet method, my 91-year-old father's Head and Neck cancer. This is extremely simple and amazing technique. Based my observation, I strongly recommend this life-affirming idea.
Amazing to see a fellow Indian/Tamilian reporting on successfully beating cancer with keto. Really happy for your grand father. How is he doing now? Is he still on keto? Did he face any issues?
@@srinivasanraghunathan8656 Really really sorry for your loss. He still lived for around 92 years and that's what most would dream to reach. RIP. Just to geet an idea, while he was having cancer, what stage was it and what did he eat basically to fight it off? Did he get on chemotherapy or was it just diet alone? Did he have meats, milk products and eggs included or only plant based keto? The info would help because my mom is aging and I am looking to make sure she gets into a healthier lifestyle. She also has some inflammation, looking to give keto/low carb a go. Btw, I'm from Bangalore, India. P S. Would be great if you can include the macros split too. Thanks!
@@gabrielantunezjr5994 Not very well. On 12/16 I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer with metastases to the liver, unknown primary. The 12/22 CT showed cancer at the end of the small bowel.

My hemoglobin keeps dropping, and my liver enzymes keep rising, BUT I have no pain and only take an antacid, an anti-nausea pill, and CBD.
@Fabrizio Pesantez I'm very positive, Fabrizio. At John 5:28,29 Jesus says he will call, and all those in the memorial tombs will come out, both the righteous and the unrighteous (but not the wicked). Christ will be reigning as King by then. All of man's governments will be brought to nothing (Daniel 2:44), and true justice for man will finally be here!! I'm looking forward to waking up during that wonderful time. I won't mind a little "dirt nap" between now and then.
Notice he was getting very nervous at the end of his talk and was very careful to not say the “C” word. Cure. Mainstream doesn’t allow that word. Great info.
I know some Silat Temple in Northern Sumatera cure cancer by doing this kind of starving treatment, but they added a few of breathing techniques that can be attributed to the Oxygen level of your brain that helps like those weird machine. So, I think what this doctor says is true.
Yes rapid shallow breathing as used in some meditation centres is very beneficial to health…those who used it in hospitals with covid, recovered very quickly.

Otto Warburg, Seyfried: not brute force but intelligence can cure cancer. Believing in aggressive treatments including surgery means not understanding that cancerous cells are highly mutated and therefore extremely weak compared to healthy cells. It also means not understanding that the disease is enhanced by a diet our organism is not equipped to tolerate (as it evolved from hunters and gatherers that did not yet know industrial agriculture)
This is an interesting video and I'm very glad that there is a diet for those who have drug resistant seizure disorders. What I was curious about is the gut microbiome of those with this condition. It would be cool to know what their biota measures like before and after the introduction of the diet that reduces / eliminates the seizures. I ask this because I am wondering if the changes in organisms in the gut producing (or reducing) by products of digestion have anything to do with this problem. For example, if one particular species increases with the new diet, could supplementation of the species alone or in addition to the diet help the seizures.
I was too, Tracy. Once your ketones kick in, your cravings will almost completely go away. I swear! It's a miracle! I was a serious carboholic, but the keto diet saved me.
I did it for 13 months (I have grade 2 uncurable cancer). My latest pathology is now showing no grade and no cancer. I have had it for 6 years and my neurologist and oncologist can not explain this!!
I wish that I had put my mom on a ketogenic diet. She had epilepsy, diabetes and was obese. I took care of her for eight years and she had many mental and brain health problems. I wish that I had made more changes for her. She died in August 2021.
Ketones are not only a fuel source for cancer cells, they also promote cancer metastases by activating hyaluronidase and proteolytic enzymes needed for natural cancer cell metastases. I posted studies on this here previously.
My grandaughter was having seizures. Petit mal between 8 and 15 an hour. Three medication changes over 8 weeks with no effect. Bought her some ketone gummies. Took two a day. First day her seizures were cut in half and in four days they were gone. There was a minor change in medication but I don't think it was the medication that stopped the seizures. I think it was the ketones. She was on them for about 2 months and then her parents forgot or decided not to give her the ketones. She began to start twitching. They upped her meds and they stopped. I wish her parents had kept her on the ketones and dropped the meds rather than vice versa.
I have many brain tumor symptoms including seizures since a year ago + a family history with brain tumors. Will get a MRI scan of my brains soon and know what I will try in case its a tumor.

As a method of healing cancer, I don't understand how Keto can negate the fact that you eat eggs/meat/dairy and these animal proteins increase IGF1 which increases chances of cancer growth, so unless there is something that protects or stops IGF1 from affecting growth. do the fats stop this? And also if someone coming from a vegan or very low protein diet swithes to keto doesn't this tax the kidneys? I was diagnosed with cholesterolosis (gallbladder polyps made from cholesterol on the GB wall) last year and last month diagnosed with Fatty Liver and so now my strategy is to severely restrict my carb intake so that my liver will start to use up this fat in my liver, I was just worried about my kidneys and cancer, seeing as animal proteins will increase IGF1, so I just don't understand how keto diets or eating animal protein help protects against cancer I always thought IGF1 increases the chances of cancer. I want to reduce my feeding window to about 5 to 7hrs so basically I will be fasting everyday, I'm not doing a full fast because I have been taking meds for 20yrs (paxil and prilosec - tapering slowly off these drugs now) and so can't fast whilst on these meds. I want to be taking 800cal per day in two meals, I did see a documentary of one guy who did this and reversed his fatty liver (with before and after scans for proof) he followed this 800cal very low carb diet and reached his goal after two months, obviously can't ingest too many fats as they'll send you over 800cal quickly. What I don't understand is that some diets like the McDougall and Gerson don't include any animal proteins, as they say they drive cancer growth and yet keto says that their way can heal cancer, I don't get it, can anybody explain please.
+Calogero Fiore fat doesn't store as fat. Fat doesn't spike your blood sugar or insulin levels. You can eat as much fat as you want and you will lose the fatty liver. Protein however should be taken moderately as it does convert to sugar but much less so than carbs. Just keep the carbs very low. That is my advice. Good source of protein, fish and eggs. I started on a high fat low carb medium protein diet almost 4 years ago and I am now wearing the same size pants as when I left high school. I am 62 now.
Paleo Bill Thankyou Bill, I started on Mcdougall type diet of starches just to see what happens for 2 weeks and see if I lose weight on it. They say that with this diet of eating starches you feel full and are satiated and lose weight, you lose weight in the liver first (or one of the first areas) so that helps to heal my problem (fatty liver). A doc advised me to go low carb and some good fats and some proteins and that eating high carb meals would not be good as the carbs will be stared as fat in the liver, both these two are docs and have completely different methods for fixing fatty liver. I did full keto for about 3 days but couldnt continue as the protein I couldnt digest as I have GERD and take meds to reduce acid.
Interesting. You don't need to go to full keto. It is pretty extreme. Just go with the Atkins diet and not the induction as that is basically a keto diet. If you cut out most carbs except for fruit and vegetables you will do just fine and you don't need much protein. Chicken wings are good and eggs and fish but not much. Maybe 4 oz per day is enough for you. I always had acid reflux before. Ate tums like going out of style but turns out it was bread and grains that caused my heartburn. I don't have it now but if I eat some bread, it is back. I always thought it was fat before.
Paleo Bill Thanks Bill, its good to know there are variations within eat diet plan, Im on day 2 of mcdougal starch based diet, will try it for 2 weeks and see if I can lose weight on it, I feel full as in the keto but not sick, it makes sense though cause I have low stomach acid cause of meds and so its tough digesting protein and fats tend to relax the LES sphncter muscle that is reponsible for acid reflux, its not the diet's fault but my particular circumstance that a particular diet can accomodate for.
PTX 152 Thanks for the ideas and for your story of your healing. I have watched many videos (maybe too many) it seems the more you look the more confused a person gets cause some have the paleo idea and others have the vegan idea and these two schools have their own gurus, followers, scientific studies to prove their theories as well and I have been yoying between the two, for fatty I found that there are videos and stories of both approaches working and both saying that the opposite approach isnt a good idea, confused!!! I'll do the low carb paleo but the problem is that Ive taken Paxil for 20yrs and so have depression problems so when I avoid carbsi feel low cause I think the body needs carbs in order to allow Tryptophan to enter into the brain, when going really low carb I would get palpitations in the evening and almost always when I had fish, weird. Some guy online said maybe I was potassium deficient. Now am cutting down on the prilosec and substituting with herbs that support the healing of the stomach lining and gut and so I make a bowl of slippery elm and very ripe banana and take this during the day, so maybe I can use less banana and stop altogether. I wonder, did you have a hiatal hernia? I have a sliding hiatal hernia and so taking HCI or apple cider vinegar would just create an acid solution that would come straight up cause of the Hernia opening up the LES and allowing acid into the esophagus, also need to lose weight which would help sort out both Hernia and fatty liver. I suppose this is where both diets may work, if both diets help one to lose weight then they both have reached their goal via different paths cause losing wieght helps reverse fatty liver.

Excellent research! Keep it up! 41 years ago 3 different hospitals predicted I had 3 months to live because of a melon-sized teratoma at the age of my 19th birthday. Surgery removed the tumor, however, they recommended NOT to go through chemotherapy because no one at that time had ever beaten this disease at that time-- and that I should enjoy the final 3 months of my life with my family. That was totally unacceptable. A fourth hospital took my case. After 2 years of chemo the exploratory surgery showed the cancer was totally gone. Now, I wonder was it the chemo that saved me or the fasting I did for 3-4 days in a row per month x 2 years. It turns out that during chemo, I got nausea so acutely, that I could not eat nor even smell food, without throwing up-- even on an empty tummy. The one drug that could ease nausea caused my throat to close/tongue swell within minutes of the injection. So, of course, I just dealt with nausea. Now, I wonder if the nausea was the God-send. . . because it meant to fasting 3-4 days in a row, monthly x 2 years. This fasting starved my cancer cells of glucose. Btw, I'm still strong at 61-- for a person that wasn't expected to live past 19 years.
+Audrey Fischer What an awesome story!
+Audrey Fischer What if chemo 'works' because of the nausea and ketosis that sets in, not the chemo itself? And all that toxin is a horrible unneeded torture?
+Audrey Fischer If i may say a thing or two. People dont have a clue, how healthy is fasting. I am a muslim, and we have a holy month RAMADAN, where you fast from dawnt till sundown for a whole month. Not only is spiritualy very healthy, but your and maany other cases are proof that is even phisicalyy ver important to fast, since you get rid of many toxicants. I could give you a countless reasons why fasting is good.. Our beloved prophet(peace and bllesings be upon him) used to fast oftenly. I am glad that you have beaten this sneaky disease with the help of God. Continue enjoying your life.
+Audrey Fischer It might have been a combination of the 2. The chemo weakened the cells and the lack of glucose finished them off.Many adaptations happen when the body is in starvation mode. Our ancestors had to go very regularly through periods of starvation, so obviously the body had to adapt to it. So I think it makes perfect sense to try and use those adaptations to starve cancer cells.
Battery9876 - But if the combination of chemo and ketosis is what works, the docs should at least find a way to MENTION it.... or maybe they could suggest fasting or ketosis first, then try the poisons if there's still an issue. But of course, that would require putting people before profits, and paying attention to 100 year old knowledge bases.
You changed - and saved - my life, Dom.
I will be forever grateful and I will never stop telling people about your work.

Cancer cells feed on sugar from carbohydrates. Cut out the carbohydrates and eat a high fat diet called the keto diet and cancer will not survive without glucose which is from carbohydrates.
They are people like anyone. That is how people are. You are responsible for your own well being. Do research. How successful are the 'standard' treatments?
I have been listening to a number of lectures on alternative cancer research. It is very upsetting that the medical community just refuses to give the patient the info they need, and let the cancer patient decide. Are they really trying to cure cancer, or just protecting their own little world. Sad but true cancer is big business Doctors need to make their patients aware of any research that may benefit their patients, whether it goes against the established medical community or not.
If enough folks subscribe personally to these new concepts, BIG PHARMA will get starved out like the cancer they are. No act of congress necessary.
There is no money in people changing their diets.

@@igorsrbinovski8975 Hi !! GOOD ONE. :D
fully and wholeheartedly agree.
Meanwhile, at my oncologist's plush office, they had candy out in a bowl for all the poor bald chemo patients to eat to make them 'feel better' about their bad day... when will chemo and radiation be seen as the torture it is, and nontoxic treatments like this be the norm? No one EVER mentions diet to you when you're diagnosed with cancer. They just want to know how much your insurance will pay for.

My mom was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, chronic kidney disease, and diabetes. Her A1C at its peak was 9 and the chemo treatment landed her on her death bed. We were told to start planning her funeral and she would never walk again. She walked out of the hospital a year later. She lost 45 pounds in the hospital but regained them back and more and her cancer began getting bad again. I began doing research. Put her on the ketogenic diet and began natural supplements. Her A1C is now 5.9, kidney function is better, and cancer is slowly diminishing. Every one of her doctors are shocked and have told her they have never in their career seen such improvement, but do you think they have ever asked what she is doing to get better? She is doing well and has lost 80 pounds. I’m a firm believer that sugar feeds cancer.
No it does not make cancer any worse by eating it, and it does not make cancer any better by not eating it.
Natural supplements do not treat cancer.
You are absolutely correct. Cancer loves sugar.
Doctors give patients radioactive sugar to identify where tumors are. Sugar feeds first cancer cells.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Fasting also can totally wipe out cancer. Follow Guy Tenenbaum here on RUclips. He cured stage 4 cancer by fasting.

Fasting kills cancer. Cancer cells are cheap imitations of normal cells, and while normal cells can handle fasting perectly well, the cancer cell cannot. Fasting was so common for our human ancestors, and all cultures had to deal with food shortages, especially in winter. In addition, immune system function skyrockets during fasting, fighting pathogens and disease producing organisms. It's like the body kows what to do...
While in the UK, people with cancer are told to keep their weight up. He was even prescribed weigh gaining drinks to keep up his weight. Its as if they know it will finish them off.
It was my neighbour, he was 60 years old but fit as a fiddle and looked ten years younger till the cancer struck him. I tried to tell him, but unfortunately he took the doctors advice instead and died spot on time when his doctor said (3 months).

Why has this not gotten more coverage over the last 10 years? Dr Seyfried's research supports all this.
I do a keto diet and fasting every other day. Best thing I've ever done for myself. I used to weight 272 pounds, which is a lot for my 5'5" height. Began on June 6 of this year. Today, August 26 I weight 180 pounds and I have never felt better in my life. My energy is up, my mood is better, I sleep better, I can actually make myself workout everyday! My skin is clearing up, my brain is working better, I have become more productive and found purpose in life again. The ketogenic diet, fasting, working out, and staying clear of any processed foods and sugar has changed my life. And the best of all, ketogenic food is AWESOME!

You see sugar is highly addictive. And they want more MONEY!

Love your work mate. Thank you so much for your research and insight.
I hope you find a way to share this with the masses for health benefits and a modest profit.
This research is extremely interesting. I truly hope that this method will be used throughout the medical field to treat cancer one day. Nobody deserves to go through the horrors of chemotherapy and live out the last few months of their lives this way. I cannot imagine the pain they must go through while receiving this treatment. I hope that this diet will be an alternative to chemotherapy one day. It is truly fascinating how much of an impact your diet can have on your overall health. It affects so much more than just your body weight. Epilepsy and cancer are horrific diseases that are many times treated with powerful drugs and the fact that something as simple as changing your diet could have this big of an impact is so amazing to me. I hope that in the future, the science of ketones lead to more medical breakthroughs.

I switched over to the keto genic diet six months ago after my doctor suggested I do that because of my PSA numbers. I stuck to it and after the six months I went back for another blood test and the PSA had dropped significantly. But even if it hadn’t I am so happy about the lack of inflammation that I have anymore. As a 70 year old active guy, arthritis has been slowly creeping into the picture. Now, I’ve had not had that at all . I attributed to decreasing my carbohydrate intake while on keto.
PSA counts rise for a number of reasons including BPH and caffeine intake.
And ketohas its drawbacks including the fact that ketones are a fuel source for cancer cells.
@@Hveragerthi "...ketones are a fuel source for cancer cells." Everything I have read says that the fuel source for cancer cells is glucose. Normal cells can use either glucose or ketones as fuel. Cancer cells can use only glucose.
Next, you will say that the brain needs glucose. Again, what I read says that, if you are on a ketogenic diet, your body will make enough glucose to feed the parts of the brain that need it. I have provided no links, and for that I apologize.
@@Hveragerthi Unlike healthy tissues, cancer cells cannot efficiently process ketone bodies for energy. Ketones also slow the proliferation of tumor cells.
@@kylelad10 Wrong, read the studies I posted here previously. Ketones are not only one of various fuel sources for cancer cells, but ketones also promote cancer cell metastases by allowing activation of hyaluronidase and proteolytic enzymes needed for natural cancer cell metastases.
@@Hveragerthi it’s scientifically correct - Ketones are not generally considered a preferred fuel source for cancer cells. In fact, the Warburg effect, which describes the tendency of cancer cells to predominantly utilize glucose for energy even in the presence of oxygen, is a well-established characteristic of many cancer cells.
Absolutely. Also, we carry the true power of nutritional ketosis & hyperbaric oxygen therapy with us, 24/7. We need only to understand that we have that power within us, and take the bold steps to learn and apply the necessary techniques. Heal thyself.

I did keto for 4 months when I found myself at 283 pounds. After the end of it all o was 214 pounds. 3 months after that with a low-moderate carb diet and I was down to 190. Keto helped me become aware of my eating decisions especially surrounding carbohydrate intake.
Cancer cells can use ketones as a fuel source, and ketones also promote cancer metastases.

I’m trying to save my friend with lung cancer, but since doctors tell her to fatten up for chemo, even though the research points to fasting and keto, what can I do? I’ve tried to save 4 loved ones in all, but they, understandably, listen to their doctors and not to me. It’s understandable…but sadly, doctors give bad advice.
We love Dom and his wife Csilla! We spoke with another scientist in his lab, Angela Poff, for our documentary on Cancer. The first episode is mostly about the Warburg Effect.
Great presentation. I've been in ketosis for about 20 months and LOVE how it feels !

Belal - how's it going for you now? I've just gotten started about 6 months ago and have the same results you mention in your post. I'm really enjoying being a feral beast these days! Amazing.
Awesome man! I started last week after doing 10 months of intermittent fasting. I only lost 10 pounds in those months, but still eating junk. Decided that i was time to eat healthy. Dropped 6 pounds in 6 days, bet it was mostly water retention from all those carbs I was eating. Feeling great and less hungry. This is something I want to keep at for the rest of my life.

As someone who recently lost a friend to cancer, I wish I knew this years ago. Of course, she never told me it was cancer for a couple of years, and I am grateful that after being given a few months to live that she lasted several years. Still, the medicine she took caused her weight to balloon. If I knew of fasting, I would have encouraged it if only to see her better and still have her here. I wish at some point a doctor mentioned it. I plan to switch to a fasting lifestyle. Modern medicnrecan be such BS at times, caring more about making money than the best treatment (especially, if it's 100% free and costs nothing).
Omg this was exactly my devasting grief-stricken experience before finding this Seyfried information just two months too late. There's no words left.
First of all cancer cells can use glucose, fructose, ketones, lactate, fatty acids and some amino acids as fuel sources. Since some of these are produced by the body, it is IMPOSSIBLE to starve cancer cells.
Secondly, many cancer patients develop a wasting condition called cachexia, and fasting can be absolutely detrimental to a person with cachexia.
In fact, most cancer patients die from malnutrition, not their cancers.
A lot of bits and pieces here, if you have been down this road and beat it please tell people how you did it. That's your testimony and you made it to help others with that testimony. We are losing too many love ones to cancer, some want to know how to beat it, naturally, no one got cancer because they didn't have enough kemo/radiation in there body.
It's amazing to me that this could truly cure cancer without damaging healthy cells compared to chemotherapy or radiation. Think about all the lives we could save if this theory is true?
So just like anything else, cancer has a weakness and that weakness is this "sugar addiction", but what else does it take? Is it just the lack of sugar and ketogenic diet that would be able to clear out the cancer? I love this research that has been done and look forward to reading/hearing more about the ketogenic diet because what it's sounding like is that there are a lot of positive aspects, but are there any downsides? Another question that I hope someone could answer is how long would it take to "cure" a disease like cancer or epilepsy via the ketogenic diet? I've always believed that most of the cures for our illnesses can be found in nature and seeing this video reaffirms my belief in that. Keep up the good work and keep asking the important questions.
Dr.Dominic thank you so much for all of your hard work! I have listened to a lot of your interviews, and your work is such an inspiration. I experiment with myself in Keto all the time, I hope to find out why it was so hard for your keno-adaptation (because mine has been brutal is well) Your so polite, its so funny to me that people keep getting your name wrong- and you dont correct them!

I had cancer when I was 10 years old. Chemo is one of the worst things you can ever do to your body. If my parents knew what I know now we would have never gone that route in fact I would never do chemotherapy ever in my lifetime again. Because now I know what to do you need to fast 72 hours in a row and I do it once a month. Water only. And hopefully my lifestyle of ketogenic and my regularly fasting lifestyle will keep me from ever having cancer again.
Ketones are not only a fuel source for cancer cells, they also promote cancer metastases by activating hyaluronidase and proteolytic enzymes needed for natural cancer cell metastases. I posted studies on this here previously.
10 years old!! You're so brave ❤
Good diet (since 2003) has been a contributary factor of my being able to overtake and overcome cancer (I have had no cancer now for 5 years) as well as assisting my 2 year journey through Clinical and invasive surgery to finally get over my very 'rabid' Atrial Fibrillation and Atrial Flutter Events. I developed my various chemically balanced diets using self monitoring. I can invariably boast excellent Cholesterol levels - as well as pretty-well all other Blood test results.

Cancer cells can use glucose, fructose, ketones, lactate, fatty acids and some amino acids as fuel sources. Since some of these are produced by the body, anybody claiming you can starve cancer cells is totally clueless.
@@Hveragerthi Cancer cells cannot use oxidative phosphorylation for the production of ATP; limiting cancer cells access to glucose and certain amino acids(glutamine, mainly) greatly impairs their metabolism.
@@WingmanSR Better do some real research because you are wrong. Research has shown that cancer cells derive roughly 50% of their energy production from oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos).
In fact, both healthy cells and cancer cells use glycolysis followed by OxPhos for energy production, just in different ratios. Check the medical journals, all sorts of studies proving this.
Carbs are up straight cancer. I'm on the Keto diet and I'm feeling significantly better.
Cant help but comment, my father has prostate ca, had biopsy a month ago bcoz of high psa 27, no bone scan yet, it was scheduled for today but machine was malfunctioning so maybe at thursday it would go, ...anyway since chemo, radiation and brachy sounded so painful and depressing we opted to try barley grass supplements, the company who makes these supplements also has a wellness clinic with integrative medicine doctors, so we went there and papa was told to stop all meat, stop canned food, foods with preservatives, stop any food product from animals and replace milk with soymilk or almond milk and go with organic vegetables and tofu to replace meat, was also told to up the barley grass intake and was given some other immune boosting supplement, i wonder if this can be considered a ketogenic diet??? Papa doesnt want chemo, we dont want chemo too, but if ever it is absolutely needed i believe this dieting and supplement can make him overcome chemo...Would love to hear from anyone reading this
harleyharhartube not keto enough if his eating hour is more than 2 hours a day
How is he now????
@@jerrysingh1617 he cant always follow the diet so during the times he is not disciploned the cancer gets worse, we did get hormone treatment, it did work for a time but as of now perhaps chemo is needed
@@harleyharhartube for how long does he was only kept on Hormone therapy????
I started the keto diet last week and noticed yesterday as I was sitting in a meeting that floaters in my eye are starting to fade away. My co workers were looking at me funny cause I kept looking at the white board rolling my eyes in circles trying to find them lol.
vTaurusv that's so funny.i know what you mean mine have gone too
for real? i have a ton of those... are they totally disappeared or did they come back?
I got off the diet and they came back and a little worse. When this corona virus thing ends I’m going back on it ASAP
@@throughmyeyesonly I've never heard of floaters in the eyes. You're kidding aren't you?
I am sceptical. A family member had cancer and on some days could not eat due to medication and side effects of chemo. So in theory it should have wiped out the cancer. I know her daughter was careful about her diet and was not allowed sugar. On her final days she was in and out of hospital and not eating. They put her on drips. So again more chances to starve the cancer. I think for every survivor story, there are those who lost their battle.....
Those "drips" were likely quite high in glucose (the number one nutrient in parenteral feeding formulas), and therefore defeated all the benefits of fasting :(
I would be v concerned abt what is in those drips...
Fasting and ingesting toxic chemo drugs doesnt sound helpful...
Aren't those drips pure glucose? pure sugar?
This is huge! Thank you.
Wonderful information!
Sugar industry has downvoted this video.
Good job sir! Hope this helps alot of people.
An inspiring and promising video; who knows where this study will take us next. Thanks TEDx
Phenomenal!
I've followed the keto diet, with regular fasting, for 3 years now. I have no lupus symptoms (after fighting it for 20+ years) and my RLS is now non-existent. There's definitely something to this regimen.
I recommend you to a man who can help you manifest whatever and whoever you want to manifest within two days🥰🥰

Thank you
It looked liked he stopped the Speech when it just started to get interesting :-) (yeah, i know its a 'limited time' TED talk)
Thank you for sharing. I wish such news be spread so everyone can start trying out these non-toxic alternative therapies.
More than the disease itself, the treatments for these diseases are the most dreaded (not just for the patients themselves but for their loved ones around them).
So the question I have is, what happens to cancer when someone goes on a somewhat extreme ketogenic diet?
Using the Ketogenic diet method, my 91-year-old father's Head and Neck cancer. This is extremely simple and amazing technique. Based my observation, I strongly recommend this life-affirming idea.
Amazing to see a fellow Indian/Tamilian reporting on successfully beating cancer with keto. Really happy for your grand father. How is he doing now?
Is he still on keto? Did he face any issues?
@@yuvaryugam3434 Unfortunately he's no more. Due to age-related illness, he passed away.
@@srinivasanraghunathan8656 Really really sorry for your loss. He still lived for around 92 years and that's what most would dream to reach. RIP.
Just to geet an idea, while he was having cancer, what stage was it and what did he eat basically to fight it off? Did he get on chemotherapy or was it just diet alone?
Did he have meats, milk products and eggs included or only plant based keto?
The info would help because my mom is aging and I am looking to make sure she gets into a healthier lifestyle. She also has some inflammation, looking to give keto/low carb a go. Btw, I'm from Bangalore, India.
P S. Would be great if you can include the macros split too. Thanks!
Great information, challenging presentation. Kudos to the presenter for his commitment.
I will attempt to starve my cancer cells with a strict keto diet. Sounds like a great idea for seizures, cancer, and weight loss!
How are you doing?
@@gabrielantunezjr5994 Not very well. On 12/16 I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer with metastases to the liver, unknown primary. The 12/22 CT showed cancer at the end of the small bowel. On 1/5, the oncologist said chemo would kill me. On 1/6, I signed up for Hospice. My hemoglobin keeps dropping, and my liver enzymes keep rising, BUT I have no pain and only take an antacid, an anti-nausea pill, and CBD.
@Fabrizio Pesantez I'm very positive, Fabrizio. At John 5:28,29 Jesus says he will call, and all those in the memorial tombs will come out, both the righteous and the unrighteous (but not the wicked). Christ will be reigning as King by then. All of man's governments will be brought to nothing (Daniel 2:44), and true justice for man will finally be here!! I'm looking forward to waking up during that wonderful time. I won't mind a little "dirt nap" between now and then.
@@wytwabit May God give you the strength to keep fighting🙏🙏
are you on the ketogenic diet?
eating and digestion is a stressful activity for the body
Imagine the possibilities of combining Keto, fasting, and full-spectrum cannabis oil. Would there be any diseases left?
Imagine all three quack treatments at one time. It might even make one look like a duck.
@@DukeGMOLOL Not as bad as a duck hammered with chemo and other toxic pharma drugs lol
@@kumarlaxman400 It's much worse Kumar. Keto, fasting, and full-spectrum cannabis oil do nothing to effectively treat or cure cancer.
Notice he was getting very nervous at the end of his talk and was very careful to not say the “C” word. Cure. Mainstream doesn’t allow that word. Great info.
Love this!!!!
I know some Silat Temple in Northern Sumatera cure cancer by doing this kind of starving treatment, but they added a few of breathing techniques that can be attributed to the Oxygen level of your brain that helps like those weird machine. So, I think what this doctor says is true.
Yes rapid shallow breathing as used in some meditation centres is very beneficial to health…those who used it in hospitals with covid, recovered very quickly.

Excellent!!!
Otto Warburg, Seyfried: not brute force but intelligence can cure cancer. Believing in aggressive treatments including surgery means not understanding that cancerous cells are highly mutated and therefore extremely weak compared to healthy cells. It also means not understanding that the disease is enhanced by a diet our organism is not equipped to tolerate (as it evolved from hunters and gatherers that did not yet know industrial agriculture)
Press/Pulse refers to pressing down the glucose, as close to zero and give supplements to temporarily cut glutamine uptake into cancer cells.
This is an interesting video and I'm very glad that there is a diet for those who have drug resistant seizure disorders. What I was curious about is the gut microbiome of those with this condition. It would be cool to know what their biota measures like before and after the introduction of the diet that reduces / eliminates the seizures. I ask this because I am wondering if the changes in organisms in the gut producing (or reducing) by products of digestion have anything to do with this problem. For example, if one particular species increases with the new diet, could supplementation of the species alone or in addition to the diet help the seizures.
It's 2022 end today... 9 years from this talk... do we cure cancer? Or do we still only MANAGE it?
This began with an ad from Coca Cola - how ironic and I'm sure not sanctioned by Dr D'Agostino :)
Where can I get these keystone upplememtd?
aghh and I m such a sugar addict , something I need to chill out on
Tracy Moore Stevia!!
I was too, Tracy. Once your ketones kick in, your cravings will almost completely go away. I swear! It's a miracle! I was a serious carboholic, but the keto diet saved me.
So I'm I, but I've been doing keto for 2 years and the cravings are under control. I treat myself every once in a while thou...
worth watching this!
glad this stuff is getting out and people are starting to see through the lies
Does the Wim Hoff technique, which involves heavy breathing patterns, have a positive effect on cancer prevention and/or elimination?
Ray Remillard FOLLOWING! I do that daily!
@@trishatrisha911 does it help cure cancer?
I did it for 13 months (I have grade 2 uncurable cancer). My latest pathology is now showing no grade and no cancer. I have had it for 6 years and my neurologist and oncologist can not explain this!!
@@trialsite1982 Thanks for that reply. And I'm happy to know your health is greatly improved!
Divad Ignawm I do not know that. Rear the other comments someone saids that they are improving.
From the beginning I entrusted my religion about fasting being healthy
Turns out my religion was right about this a long time ago
i agree with this speaker. i have always believe that to eliminate cancer, we should NEVER use chemo. we should always use alternative therapy.
Which type of cancer have you had and grade please? How long did this fasting take to put disease into remission?
Superb
I WONDER WHAT DR. AGOSTINHO HAS DISCOVERED AFTER 2013. 6 years has already went by? What’s new doc?
I wish that I had put my mom on a ketogenic diet. She had epilepsy, diabetes and was obese. I took care of her for eight years and she had many mental and brain health problems. I wish that I had made more changes for her. She died in August 2021.
Ketones are not only a fuel source for cancer cells, they also promote cancer metastases by activating hyaluronidase and proteolytic enzymes needed for natural cancer cell metastases. I posted studies on this here previously.
God bless thank God for Gods way
What a gorgeous studly man
My grandaughter was having seizures. Petit mal between 8 and 15 an hour. Three medication changes over 8 weeks with no effect. Bought her some ketone gummies. Took two a day. First day her seizures were cut in half and in four days they were gone. There was a minor change in medication but I don't think it was the medication that stopped the seizures. I think it was the ketones. She was on them for about 2 months and then her parents forgot or decided not to give her the ketones. She began to start twitching. They upped her meds and they stopped. I wish her parents had kept her on the ketones and dropped the meds rather than vice versa.
It is truly a shame that we depend on pharmaceutical chemicals rather than natural chemical remedies like ketones and cannabinoids.
I have many brain tumor symptoms including seizures since a year ago + a family history with brain tumors. Will get a MRI scan of my brains soon and know what I will try in case its a tumor.
Already decreased my carbohydrate intake by 50% now.
Any recent updates?
Hello new up dates
@@nalwangapatricia1379 chiari malformation type 1 which possibly causes some cranial nerves to be compressed and cause symptoms. Luckily nothing life threatening.
As a method of healing cancer, I don't understand how Keto can negate
the fact that you eat eggs/meat/dairy and these animal proteins increase
IGF1 which increases chances of cancer growth, so unless there is
something that protects or stops IGF1 from affecting growth. do the fats
stop this? And also if someone coming from a vegan or very low protein
diet swithes to keto doesn't this tax the kidneys?
I was diagnosed with cholesterolosis (gallbladder polyps made from
cholesterol on the GB wall) last year and last month diagnosed with
Fatty Liver and so now my strategy is to severely restrict my carb
intake so that my liver will start to use up this fat in my liver, I was
just worried about my kidneys and cancer, seeing as animal proteins
will increase IGF1, so I just don't understand how keto diets or eating
animal protein help protects against cancer I always thought IGF1
increases the chances of cancer.
I want to reduce my feeding window to about 5 to 7hrs so basically I
will be fasting everyday, I'm not doing a full fast because I have been
taking meds for 20yrs (paxil and prilosec - tapering slowly off these
drugs now) and so can't fast whilst on these meds.
I want to be taking 800cal per day in two meals, I did see a documentary
of one guy who did this and reversed his fatty liver (with before and
after scans for proof) he followed this 800cal very low carb diet and
reached his goal after two months, obviously can't ingest too many fats
as they'll send you over 800cal quickly.
What I don't understand is that some diets like the McDougall and Gerson
don't include any animal proteins, as they say they drive cancer growth
and yet keto says that their way can heal cancer, I don't get it, can
anybody explain please.
+Calogero Fiore fat doesn't store as fat. Fat doesn't spike your blood sugar or insulin levels. You can eat as much fat as you want and you will lose the fatty liver. Protein however should be taken moderately as it does convert to sugar but much less so than carbs. Just keep the carbs very low. That is my advice. Good source of protein, fish and eggs. I started on a high fat low carb medium protein diet almost 4 years ago and I am now wearing the same size pants as when I left high school. I am 62 now.
Paleo Bill
Thankyou Bill, I started on Mcdougall type diet of starches just to see what happens for 2 weeks and see if I lose weight on it. They say that with this diet of eating starches you feel full and are satiated and lose weight, you lose weight in the liver first (or one of the first areas) so that helps to heal my problem (fatty liver).
A doc advised me to go low carb and some good fats and some proteins and that eating high carb meals would not be good as the carbs will be stared as fat in the liver, both these two are docs and have completely different methods for fixing fatty liver.
I did full keto for about 3 days but couldnt continue as the protein I couldnt digest as I have GERD and take meds to reduce acid.
Interesting. You don't need to go to full keto. It is pretty extreme. Just go with the Atkins diet and not the induction as that is basically a keto diet. If you cut out most carbs except for fruit and vegetables you will do just fine and you don't need much protein. Chicken wings are good and eggs and fish but not much. Maybe 4 oz per day is enough for you. I always had acid reflux before. Ate tums like going out of style but turns out it was bread and grains that caused my heartburn. I don't have it now but if I eat some bread, it is back. I always thought it was fat before.
Paleo Bill
Thanks Bill, its good to know there are variations within eat diet plan, Im on day 2 of mcdougal starch based diet, will try it for 2 weeks and see if I can lose weight on it, I feel full as in the keto but not sick, it makes sense though cause I have low stomach acid cause of meds and so its tough digesting protein and fats tend to relax the LES sphncter muscle that is reponsible for acid reflux, its not the diet's fault but my particular circumstance that a particular diet can accomodate for.
PTX 152
Thanks for the ideas and for your story of your healing. I have watched many videos (maybe too many) it seems the more you look the more confused a person gets cause some have the paleo idea and others have the vegan idea and these two schools have their own gurus, followers, scientific studies to prove their theories as well and I have been yoying between the two, for fatty I found that there are videos and stories of both approaches working and both saying that the opposite approach isnt a good idea, confused!!!
I'll do the low carb paleo but the problem is that Ive taken Paxil for 20yrs and so have depression problems so when I avoid carbsi feel low cause I think the body needs carbs in order to allow Tryptophan to enter into the brain, when going really low carb I would get palpitations in the evening and almost always when I had fish, weird. Some guy online said maybe I was potassium deficient.
Now am cutting down on the prilosec and substituting with herbs that support the healing of the stomach lining and gut and so I make a bowl of slippery elm and very ripe banana and take this during the day, so maybe I can use less banana and stop altogether.
I wonder, did you have a hiatal hernia? I have a sliding hiatal hernia and so taking HCI or apple cider vinegar would just create an acid solution that would come straight up cause of the Hernia opening up the LES and allowing acid into the esophagus, also need to lose weight which would help sort out both Hernia and fatty liver.
I suppose this is where both diets may work, if both diets help one to lose weight then they both have reached their goal via different paths cause losing wieght helps reverse fatty liver.
