Dr Philips is such an amazing man. Especially when the funding is low and the diseases mostly terminal. Thank you for bringing him to the attention of a wider audience.
@@gillsimpson4976 he is a true scientist. If RFKjr gets confirmed these kinds of research will be much better funded. Large grant with more participants.
Thank you Dr Westman for interviewing Dr Matthew Phillips. I’ve been following his progress for a while, as I had a grade 4 astrocytoma removed in August 2023, and have been implementing a low carb diet as an adjunct therapy. My mother has Parkinson’s, so this was particularly relevant. She’s stubborn as hell, but I’ve sent her time stamps on this video, in the hope that she’ll at least be able to commit to listening to those snippets.
I wish I could listen right now. I've got to go and see a patient. I have practiced what Dr. Phillips and Dr. Westman preach. That's why I'm still practicing instead of being retired.
My husband passed from GBM in 2022. We knew and had begun keto and off-labels. He had history of autoimmune and diabetes. He needed to start YEARS ago 😢. Know better do better.
@ I know it. We began the journey 10 years ago by eliminating grains (the Wheat Belly Diet). His goal was to get off metformin. Things snowballed so fast. I can honor him by evangelizing for keto/carnivore for our family 🥹
I went off added sugar when I had breast cancer more than 40 years ago, but didn’t have the knowledge that carbs were sugar too and went back to a high carb diet eventually again anyway and gained a lot of weight. I lost 80 pounds through keto in the last 5 years and am sticking with it now to the end of my life. Age 74 now.
Thank you Dr. Westman and Phillips. I enjoy listening to Dr Phillips and never miss an interview. You both are doing amazing work and helping so many people. 🥰
Here in Australia, we have a (now) famous Doc, Dr. Richard Scolyer, who has put himself up as a guinea pig for trialling Glioblastoma treatment developed with a colleague (which are also showing impact and great results) - I truly hope that he and Matthew Phillips are in touch!!
Regarding the 20 some minute mark where they discuss glioblastoma patients 6 months into the standard of care starting keto and fasting, Dr. Seyfried notes that irradiating a brain is the worst thing you can do in this circumstance because it frees up more glucose and glutamine. But it's part of the standard of care; that's the problem. The standard hopefully will change, but, as a lawyer I would imagine IF a doctor said "no let's NOT irradiate, but instead do THIS," that Dr. could get him or herself into trouble. :( But yes, the patient needs to do the metabolic therapy well BEFORE the standard of care.
Surely a patient has to give consent for a doctor to treat them for something specific? What if the patient tells the doctor not to treat them for their cancer but to treat other current conditions instead metabolically?
I have a friend in the prime of life with glioblastoma. She’s had the tumor removed twice and is doing strict keto, hyperbaric chamber, exercise, etc. Well past the time most people have died.
I have a friend who has been really strict on keto and has stayed alive 4 years on keto. She also does go for cancer treatment. She is doing really well and not sure she would be alive without the diet.
I would love to see cancer treatment not need chemotherapy. When they talk about keto and low carb to defeat cancer, why isn't the carnivore diet mentioned since it is no sugar, no carbs?
@@jimrutherford2773 that’s ULTIMATE ketogenic diet !!!! Dr. Westman has spoken numerous times on that…but being at Duke…likely that’s extreme for there.
Yes ! Omg yes ! I wish more doctors would try carnivore / keto .. tell their patient’s , they push drugs and stuff but none of them say fasting during chemo works and keto/ carnivore might save your life . What’s the harm in people being told this ! I’m so sick over the amount of new cancer clinics popping up everywhere and dialysis and mental health clinics but no one addresses the root actual cause of all of these things .. why is cancer like 400 times worse then when I was a kid ? It’s the food
@@Kroh13you are spot on correct. If I got cancer the first thing i would do is go on an extremely low carb diet. Not 20 grams but 1 gram. I'd also start longer fasts. I currently do OMAD and 2MAD but I would start doing 2 and 3 day fasts to starve the cancer.
All human cancers are run by the start of cell damaging to the Mitrochondias in the cells which happens before the issues with cell nucleus which all current doctors deal with whilst not being trained with current medical regarding cancers. 80% of cancer sufferers die from current cancer treatments, many from their health suffering from current poor cancer treatments from the last 100 odd years. Cancer cells start with the failure of Mitrochondias and reducing to older ancient cell types and all current cancers are fed and grow using two fuel sources of glucose and glutamine amino acids. Change your diets to carnivore or ketosis and your cancers will starve from getting rid of sugars, carbohydrates and starches which all turn into glucose that ruins your body eventually and glucose currently provides 50% of fuel to all cancer cells. Your current ketones and eaten animal fat foods provide the fuels for all your bodies cells energies which help to start the starving of cancer cells. Reducing the glutamine use of all cells is more difficult as normal and cancer cells use glutamine too but there are ways of reducing glutamine when necessary that will harm the cancer cells and your normal white cells etc will eventually start killing cancer cells. There's loads more info you need regarding these which is currently difficult because virtually all Cancer Doctors ignore the true way to kill Cancers and target using the poor somatic mutation theory (SMT) for victims badly for most but ignore the new Mitrochondial metabolic theory that can save 50% of patients currently but these new treatments are currently ignored by most doctors, hospitals and pharmaceuticals and governments. Check out both including professor Thomas Seyfried from Boston and learn about the Mitrochondial metabolic theory compared to the SMT. Current radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatments are not completely perfect and destroys not only some of the cancer cells but also destroys normal healthy cells and destroys your health against most human diseases. Many of the victim people (80% ISH) who currently have SMT medicine and treatments tend to die within the first 5 years. Do more research and discover more info regarding your cancers, health and treatments. There's loads more for sufferers to research and then choose and decide what you want to do once you've improved your medical knowledge and preferred treatments regarding your particular cancer. Research all information so you are more aware of what will help you and what may harm you. Good luck once you've done some more research.
It wasn't mentioned specifically, but in the context of this discussion so long as a carnivore diet + some fasting is attaining a good GKI then it would be fine to use that. Some people eat so much meat or too much dairy (insulinogenic for some people) that they don't reach a therapeutic GKI on a carnivore diet despite it having no sugar or carbs. I managed to get my ketones up and glucose down, eating once per day and eating just ruminant meat and occasional eggs and salmon. I also managed the same GKI adding some salad veges from the garden over summer and an extended fast every week.
Thank you both for this info!!! I went to 2 naturopath doc 9 years ago. Both said ALS and MS is Lyme disease. Doug Kaufmann talks about Parkinson and Alheimers being fungus in brain. Interesting topics.
Just thought I’d put this out there. I’m 71 years old and only I’d say meat based diet because I could be carnivore because I probably eat at least 90% meat only and I’m feeling well working out so thank you very much Dr. Westman for all you do for a low carb Diets
This is interesting. I know a family that seems to have inherited and accepted the fatalities of Huntingtons disease. Truly heartbreaking to see so many young people die in one family and the changes they go through and how it affects the rest of the family here in Kentucky.
Fantastic interview. I was at a Dr visit yesterday for a knee problem. He was 6 years out of med school and talking about gel injections (the walls were full of ads for this treatment). I said do you ever consider diet in treating arthritis and he said there are a few people out there that think diet has an effect but there is no evidenced based proof. So I said what about people reversing T2 diabetes with low carb diets and he said well yeah but we don’t have time as doctors to talk about nutrition and lifestyle. 😢
There's a number of considerations. One is that hey won't get ethics approval unless they incorporate standard of care. The other consideration is that chemo does work to some extent. Having experienced both sides I know it's important to be open minded about all options and not binary (which can be close minded).
@cankerbloom9015 but the standard of care may be entirely wrong as many things in the medical industry. Just as the food pyramid is wrong, as we know now but are paying a dear price for it.
@ Absolutely, but these studies exploring evidence can’t be carried out with human patients otherwise. It would be wonderful if the population understood the principles of preventative medicine and began at a young age. Unfortunately this paradigm shift is slow!
@@egg399.omg is that true about Pablo ? I’ve been wondering about him because we haven’t heard from him since the day he went into surgery. Oh that’s so sad. He fought a long battle.
as far as I'm aware, he wasn't using DON. to think, if only, this cheap and non-toxic (relatively, when used correctly) therapeutic was accessible to someone like him, he probably wouldn't have even needed that final surgery.
Well Prof Bart Kay would say, and has said, that the therapeutic effects of the keto diet on cancer etc... most likely have nothing to do with the ketones, per se, but it is thanks to the lowering of inflammation.
Seems encouraging. Is there any data showing the efficacy of using the ketogenic/fasting protocol alone vs that protocol along with the standard of care (chemotherapy)? Are there legal limitations surrounding using the diet alone versus using it in conjunction with the standard of care?
Hi! Initially I wanted to do the metabolic regimen alone, with no SOC, but that was too much of a stretch for my colleagues and the ethics committees, so it could not happen. In time, perhaps we will see such a trial. Kind regards, Matt.
@@drmclphillips Do you know of any studies for folks like me with CFS/ME with Orthostatic Intolerance (POTS)? Doc don't take it seriously yet I barely function. Haven't worked in 20 years.

@@SeatoSky1111 Hi, I know of no studies, but sounds like you suffer from something more along the lines of a brain processing disorder (often called functional neurological disorders).

I take two pills of ketone salts in the morning; my ketones tend to go lowest overnight. I make myself coffee first thing in the morning, and it gets grass-fed butter and a good helping of MCT. (and I'll do more as I drink my coffee, which I'm doing continuously) I've recently added sesame seed oil, due to some material from Nick N. regarding it enhancing ketosis.
@@petercyr3508 I am trying to stay in ketosis but find it very hard to eat all the fat. I cook it up as much as I can to be able to stomach it with meat. I take 2tbl spns of MCT 3 times a day.
@LifeIsWonderful675 It is the most common ketone supplement, at least where I live. It says 'BHB' supplement or pills, and has BHB in three forms, once with calcium, with magnesium, and with sodium. So it is also an electrolyte supplement I suppose. It is different than the ketone 'esters' that I have heard about that apparently taste bad
Do you have any advice regarding keeping your GKI low all the time? My ketones go low overnight; I tend to have a good GKI in the afternoon and evening, but it's above 2.0 in the morning and overnight.
@egg399. Not especially regarding intermittent fasting or time restricted eating.. I suppose that would probably help; I would start by skipping supper
@ I’m still concerned! Listen to Dr Westman. Spread the workload. Engage some help. At the Q&A in San Diego you indicated that you had little downtime.
If you find any Dr wanting to research keto or ketovore to stop seizures please let me know. I have been researching and trying variations of the the diet to stop seizures since Jan 23.
