@@Coach_Jose You live on sugar and see what your glucose A1c goes up to. I live on animal fats and my glucose level is 3.8. There's nothing wrong with me.
I healed myself from prostate cancer with keto and intermittent fasting over 6m. The diagnoses gave me all the motivation I needed. Cut all sugar, alcohol, bread, pasta, rice. Only used stevia in bullet proof coffee. It works!
I was just diagnosed with prostate cancer. I used to do keto a lot when I was more into the fitness world but I went right back to it and it's not hard for me to do but for most people it's brutally hard one of the problems I see and that's amazing. If that was your result is that the cancer cells in the prostate typically I thought of the feed of fat more so than carbohydrates at least that's the literature I'm reading, which would mean that you need to not to use much fats on a ketogenic diet but fats are the only place you get your calories me being extremely lean, it starts taking too much weight off me I'm one of the rare people that doesn't have obesity might be a nice 22 at 62 years of age and it's always been there.
I was treated for cancer at a holistic medical institute in Mexico. The food was all organic & mostly grown on site. Each patient's meal plan was individually planned by a nutritionist for them specifically. The entire facility was toxin free as organic as possible, right down to the clothing you wore. I was appalled when I had to be admitted to my local hospital here in Las Vegas. The food was hardly a step above McDonalds‼️ I could not eat it. The amont of added suger alone was toxic & everything was artificial & highly processed. The housekeeping was appalling & most of the staff had no idea of what bedside manner was. 😢 I could go on forever. I'm just mentioning some of the ways the Ametican System needs to be rethought. The Medical Mafia & Big Pharma are truly making a KILLING‼️
Big pharma is not just about profits . The Lord showed me in 2008 the higher ups in these pharmaceutical CO’s are Luciferians. They r practicing satanists. They hate Gods creation.
That's funny you had said it ... I heard this yesterday from a person, saying *The medical doctors and Big Pharma doesn't care for patients and the Entire USA Citizens* . *You hear this almost on a daily basis. *CANCER THRIVES ON SUGAR , SUGAR ADDICTIVES , etc*
As a 36 yr old guy who got diagnosed with stage 2a bladder cancer, I've been doing keto diet for almost 1 months now and hoping my CT scan in mid Jan 2024 comes clean... I would really like to keep my bladder rather than cut it out
Do you have muscle invasive bladder cancer T2a? What was your occupation? I was in the printing industry so I'm fairly positive that chemical exposure is the cause of mine. Your very young and it's extremely rare for someone your age to have bladder cancer that's why I'm asking. 90% of bladder cancer is found in people over the age of 55 I was 60 when I was first diagnosed.
So much info love it but yet still confused as where to begin and what really to do. Everyone speaking so vague Please give us direct information of what to do
I am so excited. I live in Illinois and she actually is at the Cancer Center that I go to. I have stage four metastatic breast cancer with bone mets I’m so excited that she is local. I’m definitely making an appointment with her to try to get on a keto diet! Thank you so much for this interview.❤
Start that diet before you even get to see her! Don’t wait! It’s pretty darn easy, just stop eating carbohydrates all carbohydrates are sugars. May I repeat, all carbohydrates are sugars. There are no essential carbohydrates and eating only animal sourced foods like beef, butter, bacon, eggs, fish Will get you into ketosis. Please just do it now!❤
Diagnosed in September 2023 with lung cancer, stage 1. Was already following Keto, but went strict keto, 24 hr intermittent fasting, with 4 day fasts 3 times per month. 6 months later, tests in February 2024 cancer free! It works, no chemo, no radiation, no operation! Doctor was surprised but pleased. Now just following Keto diet, with once every 3 or 4 months a special "treat day" of one medium ice cream cone.
I wish I had this info to tell my dad before he died of cancer! I miss him so much and if he knew this info he probably would have lived longer! Mind you I also had cancer at the same time but I started keto right before i was diagnosed for weight loss reasons but it saved my life! They had to test my lymph nodes twice to make sure it didn’t spread and sure enough it didn’t but at the time I didn’t know i was starving the cancer. At the time I was only doing it for weight loss. It all was at the same time but now I’m just amazed and continue to stay in a keto lifestyle and I am in good health
I was diagnosed with HER-2 positive, hormone negative breast cancer at 53 years old in 2019. Throughout 2 years of treatment, not one provider asked me what I ate or told me what I should eat. I’ve now been doing keto for one year and find it very easy. I’ve lost 45 lbs., reversed diabetes, high bp, fatty liver, GERD and sleep apnea. Went off all meds after 4 months. Never looking back!
I am diagnosed with her2 triple positive breasts cancer. I started the diet keto and low sugar. I opted out of chemotherapy and I am going to try the diet and using hormone pills from the health food house. I will see in about three weeks to see if this works. Going back to doctor for cancer blood work. Pray for me.
@@shirleysparks312 it takes a bit of time to get the body transitioned into ketosis. Unless you start fasting. The key to the keto diet and cancer is to get your blood sugar low and your ketones high. You want to get your gki below 2 constantly for therapeutic ketosis. A gki below 1 is cancer starving. Fasting is the best way to get this. Research Dr seyfried more. Therapeutic ketosis alone may not be enough. You may need glutamine inhibitors aswell or some chemo along side this. This is tough to do but if you have no choice you can do it.
I was already 3 years in ketosis when lynphatic cancer hit , I was stage 4 and with chemo was clean in 5 months. Im still in ketosis and I have a new lynphoma 1yr 2m later. I was perfect weight with plenty of muscle when cancer hit. So my opinion is that keto does not completely block cancer but certainly helps tu cure it much quicker. Wish me luck with this new lynphoma its been caught much quicker this time. Im in the hospital waiting on them to decide the plan of action.
Hope you overcome this disease again and regain your health. We are strong worriers 💪 Its a strange that keto is not preventing the disease. But again cancer is not a one cause disease. Let us know how far you are with your treatment. May God grant you a complete recovery.
Per Dr Seyfried cancers can also ferment glutamine ( and a few other amino acids). So keto with GKI less than 2 and some glutamine inhibitor should work for all cancers. Hope he’s right. High levels of vitamin D also inhibits glutamine in cancer cells but not normal cells. Check out Dr Combria for protocols since this high D causes other issues.
The following natural compounds can inhibit the use of glutamine as a fuel by cancer cells : curcumin, EGCG, berberine, quercetin and resveratrol. They do so in different ways so could be more effective stacked. They also exert other benefits such as down regulation of angiogenesis and inflammation. Berberine also can act rather like metformin. Combine these (~1g of each / day) with no carb diet in a two hour feed window with some longer fasts is what I would do.
These are all mild inhibitors of glutamine. Some anti-parasitic drugs are stronger inhibitors but the safer ones are banned and the available ones are scary considering liver damage. High levels vitamin D may work, see Dr Combria for protocols. DON is not available unless doctors do a clinical trial ( they can do a trial of one and get protocols from Dr Seyfried’s team of researchers).
Some other videos on youtube also mention that the keto diet for cancer patients is not the high animal fat diet that we tend to associate with the keto diet that our friends are on for weight loss. What she/they are talking about is doing mostly organic greens and low carb vegetables, with the fat coming from avocados, salmon and NOT fatty bacon and sausage. This diet is more vegetable based and very low carbs and no sugar.
I was eating too many nuts and dark chocolate, and my tumor markers spiked. Too much arginine. Despite what Dr. Kesserling says, I think it's important to remove certain amino acids and potentially block them. Boy, I'd love to get some new mitochondria. I exercise, but now I"m adding in 30 minutes of Zone 2 a day. But honestly, all those nuts really did spike my CEA and the tumor grew.
@@CancerOutsideTheBoxThanks for sharing! Hope you continue to improve! I'm going through chemo right now. What is your diet like? What foods work for you?
@@lf7065 obviously no carbage, nothing high glycemic. I do eat carbs for fiber because it really helps with pooping. I think that in my case amino acids are proliferative.
Thank you Doctors for helping people. I never heard of Keto until recently. I looked it up on Google because it came up in RUclips. I was so impressed by the video by Dr.Ekberg that I realised I was eating the wrong foods thinking I had a healthy diet. It was an eye opener. I now follow Keto as a way of life diet. Thank you for Docs like you.
Helped me beat stage 4 cancer went to my brain. Diagnosed with stage 3 last June. 7 months later no cancer detected currently. Pray daily, cut out all sugar exercise was my routine. Kept doing everything I could. Never give Godbless and Godspeed to all. You can do it stay positive no matter what
I dont have cancer, but have been carnivore/ketivore for 21 months. My brother was just diagnosed with prostate cancer, so he will be tightening up his keto diet very soon. He has been low carb, but now we will start measuring his ketones.
@@buckmurdock2500what does that mean that the things she is telling us isn't accepted by our medical directors and big pharma sales or it doesn't get accepted as not enough trials or cancer is a political hot potato just like ivamectin was ?
And is a money making job dependant system that isn't in any rush to cure when jobs are hard to come by and science is dependent on trials and is also work dependent so how is this going to be sorted ?
Fantastic interview! Keep these expert interviews coming... Especially loved when she started talking about anti nutrients such as oxalates. This info is slow coming to the public and needs more attention! 🌟😍👏👏👏
YES!!!! I have breast cancer. Getting tumor removed. Will not do radiation after. Just thinking that if I avoid high gluclose that I will be fine is FALSE. There is high glutamine in animal meat and eggs and even nuts seeds dark leafy greens... Dr Seyfried has explained that cancer cells use the same pathway to get their fuel as does a parasite and fungi! Thats why people report success with fendbendazole and menbendazole because that drug blocks that pathway. How about that?! Wow. Also natural glutamine blockers are berberine, quercetin, green tea and ashwaganda.
I’ve seen Dr. Seyfried talk with another doctor, talking about periodic “FMD” fast mimicking diet for a week or so. He also said dietary glutamine isn’t as correlative as expected. What’s frustrating is 7-8 minutes in he tried bring up “pulsing” a diet, but the conversation went on a tangent.
I have said this before- but I truly feel that colon cancer is NOT silent at all! Our bodies are warning us up to that point in stages when people eat plant based foods, processed or whole (raw or cooked) - doesn’t matter which type you digest- does the same to your colon! These are stages that our colon warns us that we are damaging it before we hit colon cancer: Stage 1: IBS symptoms- (Cramping, gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, extended bellies!) Stage 2 if you ignore stage one: Diverticulitis, diverticulosis, crones, celiac, ulcers, polyps, leaky gut, lactose, and so on. Stage 3: colon cancer! We need to be listening to our bodies! Doctors say it’s normal to have IBS- but NO it is not! It’s not normal at all- it is a warning that if we ignore, our guts will get damaged over time! There is no silence with colon cancer- your body has done so much to warn you but you just didn’t listen! Remove plants from your diet and go the human ancestral way of eating- the carnivore lifestyle! It is not a fad- it’s is the human way of eating!
Thank you so much for this comment! I was high fiber plant based for 25 years. Suffered eventually from most of what you describe. Had 12 old polyps removed last year. Have changed my diet drastically. Feel much better. Have another colonscopy in 2 years. We'll see how it goes.
IDT it's that simple. Rectal cancer Stage IV here. My digestion goes to hell if I go carnivore. High fiber keeps things moving and my tumor doesn't bleed when I'm high fiber. But but but.... caveats needed: High fiber to me means avocados and cruciferous vegetables, and a little dairy in the form of 36-hr fermented high fat yogurts with specific microbes the way William Davis says. Some beans, but not many. I posted further up that I gave up nuts bc they had too much arginine and made my tumor markers spike. How do I know it was dark chocolate and arginine? Bc CEA turned around and went down, much to my delight, as soon as I ditched the nuts. CEA dropped 20% in three weeks. Fish and chicken have higher methionine and arginine than does red meat. Tumors can't make their own arginine and therefore require exogenous sources. Interesting to note that the conditionally non essential amino acids are the ones most implicated in cancer, and this could be why vegan diets have success.... assuming, of course, that they're non-carbage vegan diets. Who knows. I certainly don't, but I know that no one else does either, otherwise some doc out there somewhere would have a 100% survival rate among his/her patients. I've got horrible scanxiety bc they just did a PET and it will measure whatever progression took place bc of the nuts and chocolate. And there wasn't much sugar in the chocolate, altho now I'm much stricter.
I'm a physician, keto for 6 years, and frequently have lunches brought in for my practice. I simply avoid the carbs, it's not hard... unless it's from Olive Garden... LOL!
Yuck. I have cancer, but even before then I couldn't tolerate Olive Garden. Fake oils. Not good taste. Glad to hear you're avoiding carbage these days.
I have mucosal melanoma diagnosed by pathology in April 2021 after removal of a nasal polyp. I started keto in July 2019. Have done well with immunotherapy and keto, but did have a small recurrence in April 2023. Currently NED but got pancreatitis from opdualog in August and have been on and off prednisone, which elevates my glucose. Still eating keto but the elevation worries me. I am close to weaning off and all will be well, but it would be great to have advice on how to deal with elevated glucose when on steroids.
@@Fasttimes95 I couldn’t use them with pancreatitis but was a part of my anti cancer regime before I got pancreatitis. I have weaned prednisone but have a small recurrence now that I have to address. My glucose is now controlled. My insulin was low with pancreatitis anyway. Still low. But pancreas enzymes helped me stop the pain and improve digestion. Doing mostly better but being super strict with diet now.
Prior to changing my dietary lifestyle by following a low carb ketogenic diet, I had a colonoscopy and 5 "benign" growths were removed from my colon. 3 years later with a follow up colonoscopy there were none. How about that!
@@sanjayjuneja5241 Yes I am. I also noticed that on my yearly dermotological visit, I didn't need any liquid nitrogen treatments of facial pre cancerous spots.
If you eat too much protein your insulin can go up . If you eat plenty of nutritious saturated fats your appetite will dwindle and you will have to force yourself to eat it and not likely put on much fat. Don't eat too much protein with insufficient fat. Eat them together until satisfied.
Great information. The only thing I'd like to hear expounded upon is the use of exogenous hormones and the increased risk of cancer. Specifically, I'm interested to know if this includes exogenous forms of Vitamin D? I take Vitamin D3/K2 supplements in the Winter, (as I reside in the northern latitudes) to strengthen my immune system and preserve my mental function.
I have a question for the doctor. I heard that if you have a BRAF V600 mutation the keto diet is not working because that particular mutation also thrives with ketones. Is that true? if true what can you do if you have that type of mutation
Dr. Seyfried has stated that there is no cancer cell type that uses ketones. Cancer cells are primitive and survive by fermentation or glucose, fructose and glutamine. To make energy using ketones, it takes a LOT of intracellular machinery and mitochondria, which cancer cells lack to the same degree as normal cells. switch to ultra low carb or ZERO carb diet and fast 48 to 72 hours spread before and after chemo/radiation treatment day. Your normal cells will survive and the cancer cells will die. For example, you have chemo on wednesdays…fast for 24 hours before, the day of and the day after chemo. I know an esophageal cancer patient who is cured now for 2 years doing this method.
Does anybody have any advice on how to find drs like Dr. Christy Kesslering in Wisconsin? I know so many people with cancer that need a dr to help them with this.
My husband and I have been eating almost zero carbs per day for a few years. Our blood sugar is so stable running on ketones instead of glucose. We only feel hungry once a day and have no cravings anymore. We are healthy, lean, pain free, sleep great, and energetic. I'm 62 and he is 72. Never going back to eating carbs.
What does your daily food intake consist of being almost zero carbs? I love vegetables and don't eat meat but find it hard to get under 50 grams of carbs. I stay away from white but use some dairy for protein.
After almost 3 years in ketosis my friend was diagnosed with neuroendocrine pancreatic cancer. Please help me understand how this happened if cancer is metabolic and ketosis is protective.
I have a friend who had this happen as well after being keto for 5 years. Before the cancer, this friend had an autoimmune disease and several tragedies (saw her baby sister killed in front of her at age 11 and lost her 26 year old daughter from a rare heart caner) Being in ketosis can only do so much for our bodies.
Its because what she saying is wrong, ketogenic diets are good for reducing inflammation and can help with some cancers. But cancer can use other sources for fuel, especially in advanced cancers. I personally would never go to this doctor, look up the book How to Starve Cancer by Jane McLelland if you wish to learn more
Great talk. But need to understand ketones and glucose are not opposites. Both are produced by the liver under the action of glucagon, moderated by insulin, as fuel. If you are making ketones, you are making glucose. She is wrong when she says peeing out glucose by using a (dangerous) drug will put you in ketosis. What puts you in ketosis is simply not blocking it by consuming alcholol, sugars and starches. The body will/must burn or store consumed glucose before it can begin to burn fat. Ketones come from body fat breakdown. Right now, I have been fasting for 48 hours. My beta hydroxy butarate level is 1.1. I am in ketosis. My liver is making ketones. My liver is also spewing glucose. My BG level is 197! I ate poorly over the holiday. I have no ability to handle carbs at this point. I have been diabetic for 26 years. Yes, I produce the correct amount of insulin. That is checked frequently. It will be days more of zero carb eating for my blood glucose to return to normal. My liver also spews glucose when I am under stress or distress.
This is interesting to me. Thanks for your post. I have friends who are terrified of keto diet because of ketoacidosis. I wonder how high BG has to be to produce ketoacidosis. My one friend said her husband died of this condition. I can't even mention keto diet in front of her without her becoming grief-stricken. 😢
This all gets very confusing & I never know who to listen to or believe. I have been doing the keto diet for 1yr by myself waiting at present to speak with a Dietician for help. I am trying to stop seizures with this diet which were started in 2004 after a head injury, I stopped meds in 2012. I have been doing urine tests to check Ketones & have been taking MCT oil for help with ketosis. I just noticed that my Glucose urine test shows 0 which cant be right, but it must be low? I am still having seizures & need to get the rest of my info sorted for the dietician.

No diabetes here. I get to 5 in ketones after 48 hours but BG seldom drops below 60. I'm an old fart, too, 70 yo female. But food, any food, even looking at food, kicks me out of ketosis. Sad.
Interesting that any exogenous hormones can be considered to increase cancer risk. Does this include Cholecalciferol supplements which function as a hormone, necessary in Northern latitudes.?
Just overthinking it all! Sigh! I’m medium keto…not carnivore …now have a small pancreas at 55 ugh! Meds to help digest foods to nutrients and still need to do more search. Staying on Keto the best I can…..💯
@@sandymutert8495 gonna take the full carnivore challenge in January, I’ve benefited tremendously from the OMAD diet mostly KETO but some cheat months the last 6 years but I feel worse and worse when I do cheat both physically and mentally.
Good question for nephrologist, Dr Fung. This is a highly specific question. Most kids are loaded with growth hormones. I would keep sugars out of his diet as much as possible. Stick to complex carbs, maybe.
PSMA is not a metabolite substrate like glucose. PSMA receptors are highly expressed in prostate cancer and the PSMA agent targets that receptor. It’s not being metabolized by the prostate cancer for energy.
As a physician myself I have been through a chemotherapy for a generalised lymphoma whilst on a low carbohydrate and IF diet for a successful reversal of a T2D. With the approval of my oncologists I continued my diet with an exceptional tolerance and results. Ketone levels should be maintained so as to avoid fatigue linked to loss of sodium no longer retained by insulin. My taking is that it is not so much the fluctuating level of blood sugar or the ketone level that is important for cancer, but the lowering of insulin levels so as to trigger autophagy. This is important both for prevention and treatment of cancer.
As a cancer patient I can agree with you. After an unsuccessful prostatectomy I studied Warburg's Hypotheses and later developments, went cold turkey into a strict ketogenic diet, 48 hour weekly fasting, daily intermittent fasting with the minimum calories needed to live, plus daily weight training at the gym. Complete lifestyle change. I was given a 5 year prognosis as it was in the lymph nodes. Now in year 6 and 30 kg lighter, and the fittest I have ever been at 77 my Oncologist has just scheduled a PET Scan to see what has been going on, and why. I know why..... Keto diet, marginal calories, minimal carbs and heavy exercise. Once you break the carb addiction, that took 6 months at least, the rest is easy!
Congratulations on your positive cancer treatments. Concerning insulin and autophagy: Low insulin is ensured if sugar(carbs) is low. and therefore restricts a cancer fermentable fuel. Autophagy is not possible in cancer cells as they develop DNA damage DOWNSTREAM of cancer's origin. That origin being when they convert to mitochondrial production of ATP without oxygen. Autophagy occurs only in non-cancerous cells that are compromised with cellular damage and thus is a necessary part of cancer prevention. But I don't quite follow your logic on autophagy for cancer treatment. Cancer cells have no off-switch, but starving them of energy by glucose and intermittent glutamine restriction chronically weakens them and slowly kills them. This is not autophagy.
19:02 "mitochondria makes the ketones" correct me if I'm wrong, but ketones are made in the liver, and cells with healthy mitochondria can use them for energy, but aren't actually producing ketones, right?
What about no gallbladder...can we still utilize a fat diet cause my vitamin d levels are always too low no matter 50,000 vitamin d3 or sunshine ......im think8ng about getting some ox bile for this
Stevia does not spike insulin, so it is ok and won't adversely affect your ketosis. Personally, I also add ghee and cacao for a delicious Bulletproof coffee!
It blows my mind and simultaneously infuriates me that every oncologist I speak to about my mother's cancer doesn't have a clue about keto, caloric restriction or Dr Seyfrieds work.
What is the bottom line? What do I eat to avoid cancer? What does she eat and drink? Is she advocating a Keto diet? Is a low carb diet similar to a Ketogenic diet? How do I lower my insulin?
I am presently waiting to see a dietician at The Charlie Foundation, I am just getting all my info together. I started Keto 1yr ago to try to stop seizures started from a head injury in 2004. I have only recently noticed in a urine test I did to check my ketones that my Glucose looked like 0 although there must be something there in a Urine test. I hear this Dr say Glucose can be 80 -100 which is low which seems to be good. I had Bowel Cancer in 2012 & worry about that at times & have a Colonoscopy every 2-4yrs. People are questioning her ?
Go listen to the video titled, *"Vitamin D KILLS Cancer: BLOCKS Glutamine Uptake and Utilization,"* by Doctor Casey Peavler - The Functional Medicine Doc. It was posted 10 days ago.
Yes - There are several videos on YT about women who were underweight and started a Keto diet to fix their gut issues and/or mental health issues. Their weight went up, and they had more energy, and were able to regain muscle, and their weight stabilised at a normal level.
@@rutcut2822 I'm in that category and Keto has been a life changer for me. I've actually put on healthy muscle weight (with minimal exercise) and cured my leaky gut issues. I moved to Ketovore about 6 months ago (less than 10 gr of carbs daily, usually none) and my inflammation markers keep getting better. The osteoarthritis in my knees rarely bothers me now, all other body aches/head aches are gone, brain fog is gone and I sleep much better and longer. I've been able to gradually increase exercise and add weight training with no pain. I've also broken my sugar addiction and don't crave snacks, because the carnivore-based diet keeps me sated and fulfilled. I'm enjoying all the health benefits and even saving money on food!
keto was designed to help people with epilepsy. That's it. For everyone else, it's a fad diet that hasn't been proven healthy, hasn't been shown to be effective for long term weight loss.
I do like the idea of being ketogenic, but wouldnt one be subject to higher levels of insulin like growth factors vs. a whole food/plant based diet??? Trying to mitigate the damage.
No, still to many carbs if you have cancer. You need to be really strict. Ironically plant based my have the edge in you not getting cancer but if you get cancer, keto including meat will serve you better.@@lf7065
Interesting at 7:35 I wonder if something else other than insulin resistance is causing cancer in young population. It'll be beneficial if doctors check if these younger people got the jab? Also, cancers are now aggressively accelerating. It's so frustrating.
Carnivore is a type of keto diet with zero carbs,......which is good. Seyfried says it's not about the diet, rather is about ketones. Not all methods of keto diet are effective especially if unbalanced in nutrition and fat/protein ratios, etc. He does not recommend exogenic MCT oil, etc.
Buy Metabolic Approach to Cancer by Dr. Nasha Winters I found Dr. Kesserling mentioned and am seeing her now and feel good on Keto Started on her program tailored to me before 2nd surgery now starting 3 more rounds of chemo taking supplements....remember what she prescribes is tailored to your type of cancer and your markers
Fantastic interview! She even knows about plant toxins and antinutrients. I had decades of fibromyalgia, bladder pain, IBS with constipation, knee pain, and trigger fingers. All of that went away when I went on a low oxalate diet. I have been on Carnivore way of eating for 2 years and have zero pain. Also, no more depression. Using ketones for fuel is like jet fuel for me. I encourage people to look up oxalate levels in foods. I was eating a lot of almond products, whole wheat, spinach, cashews, sweet potatoes, raspberries, dark chocolate, and drinking black tea. All of these are high oxalate foods and I was poisoning myself. Oxalates also prevent minerals from being absorbed. I also had low grade anemia from being unable to absorb iron. See interviews by Sally K Norton for more info.
What about carbs? The breads, pastas and grains affect all the people that are eating 'healthy' and no one ever addresses this. They say sugar. The average person and all vegans eat a ton of carbs via breads, grains etc.
carbs = sugars, and triggers insulin = fuel for cancer via fermentation= 18 x less efficient than oxygenic phosphorylation of fats and proteins. Entirely possible to eliminate dietary carbs, though body can also make carbs from protein under certain conditions, such as when not in chronic ketosis. More problematic is how to restrict glutamine intermittently as in Seyfried's press/pulse protocol. Drugs necessary for glutamine restriction/blocking are unavailable except to researchers, and are off-patent, unprofitable, or not approved for cancer. Alternative meds and various nutrients are less effective than DON which is used in researcher trials.
34:30. With respect to the potential for inappropriate carb consumption (i.e., falling off the wagon), why not continuously monitor diet/food compliance with a CGM as component of the "standard of care" to evaluate the effectiveness and adherence to a prescribed ketogenic diet?
@felipearbustopotd False statement with respect to the cost of cancer treatment. I have a CGM (Freestyle Libre 2). I pay for it out of pocket with no insurance. The retail price is $240 for a 3-month supply ($80 / month). Within the relative context of cancer treatment, this is a deminimus, trivial cost. Compare the cost of a CGM to the cost of surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy that are the current standard of care. A CGM is a highly effective compliance monitoring tool that can quickly and easily detect inappropriate (addiction related) consumption of sugar and starchy carbohydrates that are the root cause of the problem. Presumably, a cancer patient wants to get well and is thus highly motivated to do what is necessary to succeed. A CGM provides the doctor with hard data for the purposes of further educating the patient, providing counseling support services, and/or additional medical interventions related to sugar addiction. The CGM connects by bluetooth to my CGM phone app in real time. The app can be optionally set to upload data to the cloud and shared in real time with your doctor, support group, friends, family, etc. The app can also be set to send alarms or push notifications when blood glucose data is outside of set ranges. In this regard, a CGM has the potential to be a timely, affordable, and highly effective monitoring device that goes directly to the primary root cause of cancer.
Yes, because when they remove it, they are inadvertently allowing the cells to spread and metastasize. Needs to be a way to isolate the tumors from allowing the cells cut away to spread into the body. (freezing? Containing it somehow? Idk but must be a way) before removing it

@@Coach_Jose You live on sugar and see what your glucose A1c goes up to. I live on animal fats and my glucose level is 3.8. There's nothing wrong with me.
I healed myself from prostate cancer with keto and intermittent fasting over 6m. The diagnoses gave me all the motivation I needed. Cut all sugar, alcohol, bread, pasta, rice. Only used stevia in bullet proof coffee. It works!

Thats great it worked but everyone is different. What may work for some wont work for others, especially with a horrendous disease like cancer.
I was just diagnosed with prostate cancer. I used to do keto a lot when I was more into the fitness world but I went right back to it and it's not hard for me to do but for most people it's brutally hard one of the problems I see and that's amazing. If that was your result is that the cancer cells in the prostate typically I thought of the feed of fat more so than carbohydrates at least that's the literature I'm reading, which would mean that you need to not to use much fats on a ketogenic diet but fats are the only place you get your calories me being extremely lean, it starts taking too much weight off me I'm one of the rare people that doesn't have obesity might be a nice 22 at 62 years of age and it's always been there.
What was your Gleason score because that makes a huge difference to if it was 3+3 many don't even consider that cancer anymore
More details on your medical recovery could be useful to others with prostate cancer. This is all quite serious....@@pinotwinelover
I was treated for cancer at a holistic medical institute in Mexico. The food was all organic & mostly grown on site. Each patient's meal plan was individually planned by a nutritionist for them specifically.
The entire facility was toxin free as organic as possible, right down to the clothing you wore.
I was appalled when I had to be admitted to my local hospital here in Las Vegas. The food was hardly a step above McDonalds‼️ I could not eat it. The amont of added suger alone was toxic & everything was artificial & highly processed.
The housekeeping was appalling & most of the staff had no idea of what bedside manner was. 😢
I could go on forever. I'm just mentioning some of the ways the Ametican System needs to be rethought.
The Medical Mafia & Big Pharma are truly making a KILLING‼️
Europe is following the American model, 3rd world healthcare system.
Definitely about profits.
There are good doctors but they risk their licences by treating the healthy way. The ama and big pharma own their souls
Big pharma is not just about profits . The Lord showed me in 2008 the higher ups in these pharmaceutical CO’s are Luciferians. They r practicing satanists. They hate Gods creation.
That's funny you had said it ... I heard this yesterday from a person, saying
*The medical doctors and Big Pharma doesn't care for patients and the Entire USA Citizens* .
*You hear this almost on a daily basis. *CANCER THRIVES ON SUGAR , SUGAR ADDICTIVES , etc*
As a 36 yr old guy who got diagnosed with stage 2a bladder cancer, I've been doing keto diet for almost 1 months now and hoping my CT scan in mid Jan 2024 comes clean...
I would really like to keep my bladder rather than cut it out
Do you have muscle invasive bladder cancer T2a? What was your occupation? I was in the printing industry so I'm fairly positive that chemical exposure is the cause of mine. Your very young and it's extremely rare for someone your age to have bladder cancer that's why I'm asking. 90% of bladder cancer is found in people over the age of 55 I was 60 when I was first diagnosed.
Best wishes! Maybe go full carnivore?
Hang in there friend
Xfinger keep us I formed and also hope you feelgood
So much info love it but yet still confused as where to begin and what really to do. Everyone speaking so vague Please give us direct information of what to do
Dr. Keserling is the type of MD I would like to see more often in the current health care system. Thank you for having this interview.
I am so excited. I live in Illinois and she actually is at the Cancer Center that I go to. I have stage four metastatic breast cancer with bone mets I’m so excited that she is local. I’m definitely making an appointment with her to try to get on a keto diet! Thank you so much for this interview.❤
We are glad it was helpful. Wishing you all the best.
Keto is helpful. Carnivore or lion diet is more likely to provide full cure. It is Zero carbs that makes all the difference.
Start that diet before you even get to see her! Don’t wait! It’s pretty darn easy, just stop eating carbohydrates all carbohydrates are sugars. May I repeat, all carbohydrates are sugars. There are no essential carbohydrates and eating only animal sourced foods like beef, butter, bacon, eggs, fish Will get you into ketosis. Please just do it now!❤
Watch the video with Thomas Seyfried on cancer and fasting
Check out Dr. Ken D Berry and Dr. Annette Boswell.. all about how to get into Ketosis and wonderful humanitarians!
Diagnosed in September 2023 with lung cancer, stage 1. Was already following Keto, but went strict keto, 24 hr intermittent fasting, with 4 day fasts 3 times per month. 6 months later, tests in February 2024 cancer free! It works, no chemo, no radiation, no operation! Doctor was surprised but pleased. Now just following Keto diet, with once every 3 or 4 months a special "treat day" of one medium ice cream cone.
Amazing ! So you think it was the keto ? And fasting that took the cancer away ? Anyways good luck
@@advertisercommerce6990 ❤️❤️❤️
I wish I had this info to tell my dad before he died of cancer! I miss him so much and if he knew this info he probably would have lived longer! Mind you I also had cancer at the same time but I started keto right before i was diagnosed for weight loss reasons but it saved my life! They had to test my lymph nodes twice to make sure it didn’t spread and sure enough it didn’t but at the time I didn’t know i was starving the cancer. At the time I was only doing it for weight loss. It all was at the same time but now I’m just amazed and continue to stay in a keto lifestyle and I am in good health
@ same here!!!
Wow❤❤❤ did you take anti parasite fenbedazol
I was diagnosed with HER-2 positive, hormone negative breast cancer at 53 years old in 2019. Throughout 2 years of treatment, not one provider asked me what I ate or told me what I should eat.
I’ve now been doing keto for one year and find it very easy. I’ve lost 45 lbs., reversed diabetes, high bp, fatty liver, GERD and sleep apnea. Went off all meds after 4 months. Never looking back!
I am diagnosed with her2 triple positive breasts cancer. I started the diet keto and low sugar. I opted out of chemotherapy and I am going to try the diet and using hormone pills from the health food house. I will see in about three weeks to see if this works. Going back to doctor for cancer blood work. Pray for me.
@@shirleysparks312 it takes a bit of time to get the body transitioned into ketosis. Unless you start fasting. The key to the keto diet and cancer is to get your blood sugar low and your ketones high. You want to get your gki below 2 constantly for therapeutic ketosis. A gki below 1 is cancer starving. Fasting is the best way to get this. Research Dr seyfried more. Therapeutic ketosis alone may not be enough. You may need glutamine inhibitors aswell or some chemo along side this. This is tough to do but if you have no choice you can do it.
I was already 3 years in ketosis when lynphatic cancer hit , I was stage 4 and with chemo was clean in 5 months. Im still in ketosis and I have a new lynphoma 1yr 2m later.
I was perfect weight with plenty of muscle when cancer hit. So my opinion is that keto does not completely block cancer but certainly helps tu cure it much quicker. Wish me luck with this new lynphoma its been caught much quicker this time. Im in the hospital waiting on them to decide the plan of action.
Hope you overcome this disease again and regain your health. We are strong worriers 💪
Its a strange that keto is not preventing the disease. But again cancer is not a one cause disease. Let us know how far you are with your treatment. May God grant you a complete recovery.
You will overcome this! I hear you … I’ve always been healthy. Exercised and did everything right and I still got lungs cancer.
Environment and stress is a huge factor because I’ve always been healthy and still developed stage 4 peritoneal ovarian
Good luck !
Per Dr Seyfried cancers can also ferment glutamine ( and a few other amino acids). So keto with GKI less than 2 and some glutamine inhibitor should work for all cancers. Hope he’s right. High levels of vitamin D also inhibits glutamine in cancer cells but not normal cells. Check out Dr Combria for protocols since this high D causes other issues.
Glad to see that more doctors are coming around to the idea that cancer is a metabolic disease. Hard to find a disease that isn't...
Great video. Very good information. I'm so glad to see doctors like this trying ketogenic/carnivore diet to enhance cancer treatment. Thank you!
One of the best doctors ever. Dr. Christy Kesslering was my radiologist in Chicagoland area. ❤❤❤
The following natural compounds can inhibit the use of glutamine as a fuel by cancer cells : curcumin, EGCG, berberine, quercetin and resveratrol. They do so in different ways so could be more effective stacked. They also exert other benefits such as down regulation of angiogenesis and inflammation. Berberine also can act rather like metformin.
Combine these (~1g of each / day) with no carb diet in a two hour feed window with some longer fasts is what I would do.
That's exactly what I needed to know. Thank you!!
These are all mild inhibitors of glutamine. Some anti-parasitic drugs are stronger inhibitors but the safer ones are banned and the available ones are scary considering liver damage. High levels vitamin D may work, see Dr Combria for protocols. DON is not available unless doctors do a clinical trial ( they can do a trial of one and get protocols from Dr Seyfried’s team of researchers).
I know it's been a long time since you posted this, but can you tell me your sources please
Always great to see Dr. Kesslering ❤❤❤
Excellent video about cancer and carbohydrate consumption. I am forwarding to my friends.
Cancer is from excess fats. You blaming the carbs for what the fat did.
A great conversation and inspiring to all of us on a keto diet. Thank you.
Some other videos on youtube also mention that the keto diet for cancer patients is not the high animal fat diet that we tend to associate with the keto diet that our friends are on for weight loss. What she/they are talking about is doing mostly organic greens and low carb vegetables, with the fat coming from avocados, salmon and NOT fatty bacon and sausage. This diet is more vegetable based and very low carbs and no sugar.
Thx Good to know, I was wondering too what keto diet they are talking about
I was eating too many nuts and dark chocolate, and my tumor markers spiked. Too much arginine. Despite what Dr. Kesserling says, I think it's important to remove certain amino acids and potentially block them. Boy, I'd love to get some new mitochondria. I exercise, but now I"m adding in 30 minutes of Zone 2 a day. But honestly, all those nuts really did spike my CEA and the tumor grew.
What type of nuts u r eating ?
@@wengmun7806 tree nuts. Walnuts, almonds, pecans. Not eating them now. Tumor markers immediately dropped once I stopped eating them
@@CancerOutsideTheBoxThanks for sharing! Hope you continue to improve! I'm going through chemo right now. What is your diet like? What foods work for you?
@@lf7065 obviously no carbage, nothing high glycemic. I do eat carbs for fiber because it really helps with pooping. I think that in my case amino acids are proliferative.
@@CancerOutsideTheBoxI've been reading that many cancers are fueled by methionine more so than glucose.
Thank you Doctors for helping people. I never heard of Keto until recently. I looked it up on Google because it came up in RUclips. I was so impressed by the video by Dr.Ekberg that I realised I was eating the wrong foods thinking I had a healthy diet. It was an eye opener. I now follow Keto as a way of life diet. Thank you for Docs like you.
Thank you for your comment!
Helped me beat stage 4 cancer went to my brain. Diagnosed with stage 3 last June. 7 months later no cancer detected currently. Pray daily, cut out all sugar exercise was my routine. Kept doing everything I could. Never give Godbless and Godspeed to all. You can do it stay positive no matter what
Excellent class, so much valuable information, thanks for sharing.
Glad it was helpful!
Best diet in the world -- been keto for 20 years! On no meds, optimal labs and at my high school weight!
What does your diet look like daily?
I dont have cancer, but have been carnivore/ketivore for 21 months. My brother was just diagnosed with prostate cancer, so he will be tightening up his keto diet very soon. He has been low carb, but now we will start measuring his ketones.
SO INFORMATIVE. I'LL GO BACK AND WATCH AGAIN! ENJOYED. THANKS FOR THIS INTERVIEW. LOOKING FOR A PHYSICIAN LIKE HER IN MY AREA. HARD TO FIND THEM! 😊
Yea because most doctors want to avoid malpractice suits.
@@buckmurdock2500what does that mean that the things she is telling us isn't accepted by our medical directors and big pharma sales or it doesn't get accepted as not enough trials or cancer is a political hot potato just like ivamectin was ?
And is a money making job dependant system that isn't in any rush to cure when jobs are hard to come by and science is dependent on trials and is also work dependent so how is this going to be sorted ?
I'm binging on Christy interviews! Thanks for this one. 😊
Thank you for dropping by 😊
She's great!!! Explains things simply and well!
Indeed! Thank you for your comment!
Fantastic interview! Keep these expert interviews coming... Especially loved when she started talking about anti nutrients such as oxalates. This info is slow coming to the public and needs more attention! 🌟😍👏👏👏
Thanks a lot for your comment!
They only talk about glocose, but what about glutamine? Thomas Seyfried talks about that too.
YES!!!! I have breast cancer. Getting tumor removed. Will not do radiation after. Just thinking that if I avoid high gluclose that I will be fine is FALSE. There is high glutamine in animal meat and eggs and even nuts seeds dark leafy greens... Dr Seyfried has explained that cancer cells use the same pathway to get their fuel as does a parasite and fungi! Thats why people report success with fendbendazole and menbendazole because that drug blocks that pathway. How about that?! Wow.
Also natural glutamine blockers are berberine, quercetin, green tea and ashwaganda.
I’ve seen Dr. Seyfried talk with another doctor, talking about periodic “FMD” fast mimicking diet for a week or so. He also said dietary glutamine isn’t as correlative as expected.
What’s frustrating is 7-8 minutes in he tried bring up “pulsing” a diet, but the conversation went on a tangent.
Yea sugar and glutamine but I think cancer can grow from other amino acid and protein.
She is an amazing Dr.!! Thank you for this interview 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much! Good information!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😘
Man Sanjay she is the best. I love her. I want her to teach my doctor
I have said this before- but I truly feel that colon cancer is NOT silent at all! Our bodies are warning us up to that point in stages when people eat plant based foods, processed or whole (raw or cooked) - doesn’t matter which type you digest- does the same to your colon! These are stages that our colon warns us that we are damaging it before we hit colon cancer:
Stage 1: IBS symptoms- (Cramping, gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, extended bellies!)
Stage 2 if you ignore stage one: Diverticulitis, diverticulosis, crones, celiac, ulcers, polyps, leaky gut, lactose, and so on.
Stage 3: colon cancer!
We need to be listening to our bodies! Doctors say it’s normal to have IBS- but NO it is not! It’s not normal at all- it is a warning that if we ignore, our guts will get damaged over time! There is no silence with colon cancer- your body has done so much to warn you but you just didn’t listen! Remove plants from your diet and go the human ancestral way of eating- the carnivore lifestyle! It is not a fad- it’s is the human way of eating!
Thank you so much for this comment! I was high fiber plant based for 25 years. Suffered eventually from most of what you describe. Had 12 old polyps removed last year. Have changed my diet drastically. Feel much better. Have another colonscopy in 2 years. We'll see how it goes.
@@sheilacollins9384 you are welcome! ☺️
IDT it's that simple. Rectal cancer Stage IV here. My digestion goes to hell if I go carnivore. High fiber keeps things moving and my tumor doesn't bleed when I'm high fiber. But but but.... caveats needed: High fiber to me means avocados and cruciferous vegetables, and a little dairy in the form of 36-hr fermented high fat yogurts with specific microbes the way William Davis says. Some beans, but not many. I posted further up that I gave up nuts bc they had too much arginine and made my tumor markers spike. How do I know it was dark chocolate and arginine? Bc CEA turned around and went down, much to my delight, as soon as I ditched the nuts. CEA dropped 20% in three weeks. Fish and chicken have higher methionine and arginine than does red meat. Tumors can't make their own arginine and therefore require exogenous sources. Interesting to note that the conditionally non essential amino acids are the ones most implicated in cancer, and this could be why vegan diets have success.... assuming, of course, that they're non-carbage vegan diets. Who knows. I certainly don't, but I know that no one else does either, otherwise some doc out there somewhere would have a 100% survival rate among his/her patients. I've got horrible scanxiety bc they just did a PET and it will measure whatever progression took place bc of the nuts and chocolate. And there wasn't much sugar in the chocolate, altho now I'm much stricter.
@@CancerOutsideTheBox it is that simple!
@@CancerOutsideTheBox plant damage the body. If you go carnivore watch Dr. Baker, Dr. Chaffee, and Dr. Berry’s channels!!
I'm a physician, keto for 6 years, and frequently have lunches brought in for my practice. I simply avoid the carbs, it's not hard... unless it's from Olive Garden... LOL!
Yuck. I have cancer, but even before then I couldn't tolerate Olive Garden. Fake oils. Not good taste. Glad to hear you're avoiding carbage these days.
Right?! Good ole Olive Garden 😅
Really enjoyed this interview, thank you
I have mucosal melanoma diagnosed by pathology in April 2021 after removal of a nasal polyp. I started keto in July 2019. Have done well with immunotherapy and keto, but did have a small recurrence in April 2023. Currently NED but got pancreatitis from opdualog in August and have been on and off prednisone, which elevates my glucose. Still eating keto but the elevation worries me. I am close to weaning off and all will be well, but it would be great to have advice on how to deal with elevated glucose when on steroids.
@2love2223 I do time restriction but also outright full day fasting. Unfortunately steroids elevate glucose regardless.
Berberine or metformin will help .
@@Fasttimes95 I couldn’t use them with pancreatitis but was a part of my anti cancer regime before I got pancreatitis. I have weaned prednisone but have a small recurrence now that I have to address. My glucose is now controlled. My insulin was low with pancreatitis anyway. Still low. But pancreas enzymes helped me stop the pain and improve digestion. Doing mostly better but being super strict with diet now.
Very good show. Please get Dr. Bikman on the show.
Metabolic Therapy is the way ❤
Prior to changing my dietary lifestyle by following a low carb ketogenic diet, I had a colonoscopy and 5 "benign" growths were removed from my colon. 3 years later with a follow up colonoscopy there were none. How about that!
I love this!! i'm so proud of you, and hope you are of yourself too!!
@@sanjayjuneja5241 Yes I am. I also noticed that on my yearly dermotological visit, I didn't need any liquid nitrogen treatments of facial pre cancerous spots.
That's fantastic! Congrats! 👏🙂
How do we get docs to want to think like this?
good luck on that . If it doesn't profit $$$$$ , then they don't care.
If you eat too much protein your insulin can go up . If you eat plenty of nutritious saturated fats your appetite will dwindle and you will have to force yourself to eat it and not likely put on much fat. Don't eat too much protein with insufficient fat. Eat them together until satisfied.
True
Smart doctor that care for people. Thanks.
Great information. The only thing I'd like to hear expounded upon is the use of exogenous hormones and the increased risk of cancer. Specifically, I'm interested to know if this includes exogenous forms of Vitamin D? I take Vitamin D3/K2 supplements in the Winter, (as I reside in the northern latitudes) to strengthen my immune system and preserve my mental function.
I have a question for the doctor. I heard that if you have a BRAF V600 mutation the keto diet is not working because that particular mutation also thrives with ketones. Is that true? if true what can you do if you have that type of mutation
Dr. Seyfried has stated that there is no cancer cell type that uses ketones. Cancer cells are primitive and survive by fermentation or glucose, fructose and glutamine. To make energy using ketones, it takes a LOT of intracellular machinery and mitochondria, which cancer cells lack to the same degree as normal cells. switch to ultra low carb or ZERO carb diet and fast 48 to 72 hours spread before and after chemo/radiation treatment day. Your normal cells will survive and the cancer cells will die. For example, you have chemo on wednesdays…fast for 24 hours before, the day of and the day after chemo. I know an esophageal cancer patient who is cured now for 2 years doing this method.
No- watch Dr. Thomas Seyfried! All due to metabolic disease!!
I guess you're like that poor bastard that wants to be vegan but has a body type designed to eat meat, lmao . .
See dr. Seyfried talk on cancer. He said absolutely not true
Thank you for your work! I tell everyone that will listen about your videos.
Thank you! Feel free to share!
Does anybody have any advice on how to find drs like Dr. Christy Kesslering in Wisconsin? I know so many people with cancer that need a dr to help them with this.
Awesome interview! Super informative. Thanks and happy new year to you both! 👍👍👍
Thank you 😊
My husband and I have been eating almost zero carbs per day for a few years. Our blood sugar is so stable running on ketones instead of glucose. We only feel hungry once a day and have no cravings anymore. We are healthy, lean, pain free, sleep great, and energetic. I'm 62 and he is 72. Never going back to eating carbs.
What does your daily food intake consist of being almost zero carbs? I love vegetables and don't eat meat but find it hard to get under 50 grams of carbs. I stay away from white but use some dairy for protein.

After almost 3 years in ketosis my friend was diagnosed with neuroendocrine pancreatic cancer. Please help me understand how this happened if cancer is metabolic and ketosis is protective.
I have a friend who had this happen as well after being keto for 5 years. Before the cancer, this friend had an autoimmune disease and several tragedies (saw her baby sister killed in front of her at age 11 and lost her 26 year old daughter from a rare heart caner) Being in ketosis can only do so much for our bodies.
@@aprilek6003 thank you for the reply. So sorry for your friend.
Its because what she saying is wrong, ketogenic diets are good for reducing inflammation and can help with some cancers. But cancer can use other sources for fuel, especially in advanced cancers. I personally would never go to this doctor, look up the book How to Starve Cancer by Jane McLelland if you wish to learn more
@gabekindo you are not understanding her. She is saying ketogenic is one way not the only way. Just curious as to what medical degree you hold?
Ketogenic diet is not hard to do. Particularly when your life is on the line.
Great talk. But need to understand ketones and glucose are not opposites. Both are produced by the liver under the action of glucagon, moderated by insulin, as fuel. If you are making ketones, you are making glucose. She is wrong when she says peeing out glucose by using a (dangerous) drug will put you in ketosis. What puts you in ketosis is simply not blocking it by consuming alcholol, sugars and starches. The body will/must burn or store consumed glucose before it can begin to burn fat. Ketones come from body fat breakdown.
Right now, I have been fasting for 48 hours. My beta hydroxy butarate level is 1.1. I am in ketosis. My liver is making ketones. My liver is also spewing glucose. My BG level is 197! I ate poorly over the holiday. I have no ability to handle carbs at this point. I have been diabetic for 26 years. Yes, I produce the correct amount of insulin. That is checked frequently. It will be days more of zero carb eating for my blood glucose to return to normal. My liver also spews glucose when I am under stress or distress.
This is interesting to me. Thanks for your post.
I have friends who are terrified of keto diet because of ketoacidosis.
I wonder how high BG has to be to produce ketoacidosis. My one friend said her husband died of this condition. I can't even mention keto diet in front of her without her becoming grief-stricken. 😢
This all gets very confusing & I never know who to listen to or believe. I have been doing the keto diet for 1yr by myself waiting at present to speak with a Dietician for help. I am trying to stop seizures with this diet which were started in 2004 after a head injury, I stopped meds in 2012. I have been doing urine tests to check Ketones & have been taking MCT oil for help with ketosis. I just noticed that my Glucose urine test shows 0 which cant be right, but it must be low? I am still having seizures & need to get the rest of my info sorted for the dietician.

No diabetes here. I get to 5 in ketones after 48 hours but BG seldom drops below 60. I'm an old fart, too, 70 yo female. But food, any food, even looking at food, kicks me out of ketosis. Sad.
@@jellybeanvinkler4878 ketoacidosis primarily impacts diabetics - IF YOU ARE NOT A DIABETIC its probably not an issue.
Interesting that any exogenous hormones can be considered to increase cancer risk.
Does this include Cholecalciferol supplements which function as a hormone, necessary in Northern latitudes.?
no, but best to get Vit D from sun if possible.
Yup. Cancer cells thrive on sugar. Fasting and keto is my go to
This is so stupid, we the KETO, carnivore and fasting community are ALL ready to enter a nutritional trial!
Just overthinking it all! Sigh! I’m medium keto…not carnivore …now have a small pancreas at 55 ugh! Meds to help digest foods to nutrients and still need to do more search. Staying on Keto the best I can…..💯

Great Info! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
What about keto for melanoma??? Do you have any videos with research on this?
Why are we doing Pet scans to a stage 4 cancer patient? Isnt it a sugar bolus?
You can do everything right, and still get cancer. But doing things right lowers the odds.
The main reason to do these things is healthspan.
My 10 yr old son takes growth hormone as he has kidney disease and his growth is stunted. Is he also at risk for cancer?
Good question for nephrologist, Dr Fung. This is a highly specific question.
Most kids are loaded with growth hormones. I would keep sugars out of his diet as much as possible. Stick to complex carbs, maybe.
Does this apply to prostate cancer?
They use a lipid soluton for the tracer in the PMSA scans and not glucose.
PSMA is not a metabolite substrate like glucose. PSMA receptors are highly expressed in prostate cancer and the PSMA agent targets that receptor. It’s not being metabolized by the prostate cancer for energy.
All cancers feed on sugars!
Yes, we're seeing more cancers in younger people too, presumably diet / lifestyle related.
@@andyc7747throw in C-sections, too, which deprive the baby of microbiome, right off the bat. So many scheduled out of convenience.
Not to mention the arm ticket.
As a physician myself I have been through a chemotherapy for a generalised lymphoma whilst on a low carbohydrate and IF diet for a successful reversal of a T2D.
With the approval of my oncologists I continued my diet with an exceptional tolerance and results.
Ketone levels should be maintained so as to avoid fatigue linked to loss of sodium no longer retained by insulin.
My taking is that it is not so much the fluctuating level of blood sugar or the ketone level that is important for cancer, but the lowering of insulin levels so as to trigger autophagy.
This is important both for prevention and treatment of cancer.
As a cancer patient I can agree with you. After an unsuccessful prostatectomy I studied Warburg's Hypotheses and later developments, went cold turkey into a strict ketogenic diet, 48 hour weekly fasting, daily intermittent fasting with the minimum calories needed to live, plus daily weight training at the gym. Complete lifestyle change. I was given a 5 year prognosis as it was in the lymph nodes. Now in year 6 and 30 kg lighter, and the fittest I have ever been at 77 my Oncologist has just scheduled a PET Scan to see what has been going on, and why. I know why..... Keto diet, marginal calories, minimal carbs and heavy exercise. Once you break the carb addiction, that took 6 months at least, the rest is easy!
@elkiton please share results from scan
Congratulations on your positive cancer treatments. Concerning insulin and autophagy: Low insulin is ensured if sugar(carbs) is low. and therefore restricts a cancer fermentable fuel. Autophagy is not possible in cancer cells as they develop DNA damage DOWNSTREAM of cancer's origin. That origin being when they convert to mitochondrial production of ATP without oxygen. Autophagy occurs only in non-cancerous cells that are compromised with cellular damage and thus is a necessary part of cancer prevention. But I don't quite follow your logic on autophagy for cancer treatment. Cancer cells have no off-switch, but starving them of energy by glucose and intermittent glutamine restriction chronically weakens them and slowly kills them. This is not autophagy.
19:02 "mitochondria makes the ketones"
correct me if I'm wrong, but ketones are made in the liver, and cells with healthy mitochondria can use them for energy, but aren't actually producing ketones, right?
What about no gallbladder...can we still utilize a fat diet cause my vitamin d levels are always too low no matter 50,000 vitamin d3 or sunshine ......im think8ng about getting some ox bile for this

Thank you for your comment. Dr. Juneja is based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Is a little bit of stevia okay to use in coffee?
Stevia does not spike insulin, so it is ok and won't adversely affect your ketosis. Personally, I also add ghee and cacao for a delicious Bulletproof coffee!
It's the 60% grain diet that our so-called health agencies are advising us to eat along with highly processed store bought food.
Prior to the 60s and 70s people ate what is now being called a ketogenic diet . we didn't have tons of candy bars and soda and junk food all the time.
It blows my mind and simultaneously infuriates me that every oncologist I speak to about my mother's cancer doesn't have a clue about keto, caloric restriction or Dr Seyfrieds work.
What is the bottom line? What do I eat to avoid cancer? What does she eat and drink? Is she advocating a Keto diet? Is a low carb diet similar to a Ketogenic diet? How do I lower my insulin?
I have the same questions!
It is best to check with a doctor such as Dr. Kesslering to get proper guidance and professional advice
BTW, some women in menopause, come OUT of it when they start keto.
How low carb are you Dr Kesserling? 0g, 5g? 20g?
I am presently waiting to see a dietician at The Charlie Foundation, I am just getting all my info together. I started Keto 1yr ago to try to stop seizures started from a head injury in 2004. I have only recently noticed in a urine test I did to check my ketones that my Glucose looked like 0 although there must be something there in a Urine test. I hear this Dr say Glucose can be 80 -100 which is low which seems to be good. I had Bowel Cancer in 2012 & worry about that at times & have a Colonoscopy every 2-4yrs. People are questioning her ?
Go listen to the video titled, *"Vitamin D KILLS Cancer: BLOCKS Glutamine Uptake and Utilization,"* by Doctor Casey Peavler - The Functional Medicine Doc. It was posted 10 days ago.
Healthcare should be renamed Sickcare.
Big Pharma & Fauci have had far too much power for to long!!
Is a keto diet appropriate for a cancer patient who is very low weight?
Yes - There are several videos on YT about women who were underweight and started a Keto diet to fix their gut issues and/or mental health issues. Their weight went up, and they had more energy, and were able to regain muscle, and their weight stabilised at a normal level.
@@rutcut2822 I'm in that category and Keto has been a life changer for me. I've actually put on healthy muscle weight (with minimal exercise) and cured my leaky gut issues. I moved to Ketovore about 6 months ago (less than 10 gr of carbs daily, usually none) and my inflammation markers keep getting better. The osteoarthritis in my knees rarely bothers me now, all other body aches/head aches are gone, brain fog is gone and I sleep much better and longer. I've been able to gradually increase exercise and add weight training with no pain. I've also broken my sugar addiction and don't crave snacks, because the carnivore-based diet keeps me sated and fulfilled. I'm enjoying all the health benefits and even saving money on food!
Absolutely!
Fatty meat is your friend!
keto was designed to help people with epilepsy. That's it. For everyone else, it's a fad diet that hasn't been proven healthy, hasn't been shown to be effective for long term weight loss.
The other day, I threw away every bit of sugar from my kitchen
Powerful guest. 💪🙏
Indeed! Thanks for dropping by!
I do like the idea of being ketogenic, but wouldnt one be subject to higher levels of insulin like growth factors vs. a whole food/plant based diet??? Trying to mitigate the damage.
I'm thinking plant based keto mostly would be good for us...🤔
No, still to many carbs if you have cancer. You need to be really strict. Ironically plant based my have the edge in you not getting cancer but if you get cancer, keto including meat will serve you better.@@lf7065
Interesting at 7:35 I wonder if something else other than insulin resistance is causing cancer in young population. It'll be beneficial if doctors check if these younger people got the jab? Also, cancers are now aggressively accelerating. It's so frustrating.
Certainly most people got the jab. I didn't but can say that the vast majority of friends and relatives did.
I would love to hear her take on the carnivore diet to fight cancer.
Carnivore is a type of keto diet with zero carbs,......which is good. Seyfried says it's not about the diet, rather is about ketones. Not all methods of keto diet are effective especially if unbalanced in nutrition and fat/protein ratios, etc. He does not recommend exogenic MCT oil, etc.
Has Kesslering written a book on this?
Buy Metabolic Approach to Cancer by Dr. Nasha Winters I found Dr. Kesserling mentioned and am seeing her now and feel good on Keto
Started on her program tailored to me before 2nd surgery now starting 3 more rounds of chemo taking supplements....remember what she prescribes is tailored to your type of cancer and your markers
What is "all the way down"?
How many eat plant based diets for health conditions , without awareness of oxilates/lectins in plants that can drive their conditions !?
Fantastic interview! She even knows about plant toxins and antinutrients.
I had decades of fibromyalgia, bladder pain, IBS with constipation, knee pain, and trigger fingers. All of that went away when I went on a low oxalate diet. I have been on Carnivore way of eating for 2 years and have zero pain. Also, no more depression. Using ketones for fuel is like jet fuel for me.
I encourage people to look up oxalate levels in foods. I was eating a lot of almond products, whole wheat, spinach, cashews, sweet potatoes, raspberries, dark chocolate, and drinking black tea. All of these are high oxalate foods and I was poisoning myself. Oxalates also prevent minerals from being absorbed. I also had low grade anemia from being unable to absorb iron.
See interviews by Sally K Norton for more info.
Thank you for your comment
Wow! Great intevju, thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Great interview! So much fun!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Where is your office?
Please reach out to Dr. Kesslering directly at www.kessrx.com/
What about carbs? The breads, pastas and grains affect all the people that are eating 'healthy' and no one ever addresses this. They say sugar. The average person and all vegans eat a ton of carbs via breads, grains etc.
carbs = sugars, and triggers insulin = fuel for cancer via fermentation= 18 x less efficient than oxygenic phosphorylation of fats and proteins. Entirely possible to eliminate dietary carbs, though body can also make carbs from protein under certain conditions, such as when not in chronic ketosis. More problematic is how to restrict glutamine intermittently as in Seyfried's press/pulse protocol. Drugs necessary for glutamine restriction/blocking are unavailable except to researchers, and are off-patent, unprofitable, or not approved for cancer. Alternative meds and various nutrients are less effective than DON which is used in researcher trials.
34:30. With respect to the potential for inappropriate carb consumption (i.e., falling off the wagon), why not continuously monitor diet/food compliance with a CGM as component of the "standard of care" to evaluate the effectiveness and adherence to a prescribed ketogenic diet?
CGMs aren't cheap.
@felipearbustopotd False statement with respect to the cost of cancer treatment. I have a CGM (Freestyle Libre 2). I pay for it out of pocket with no insurance. The retail price is $240 for a 3-month supply ($80 / month). Within the relative context of cancer treatment, this is a deminimus, trivial cost.
Compare the cost of a CGM to the cost of surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy that are the current standard of care.
A CGM is a highly effective compliance monitoring tool that can quickly and easily detect inappropriate (addiction related) consumption of sugar and starchy carbohydrates that are the root cause of the problem. Presumably, a cancer patient wants to get well and is thus highly motivated to do what is necessary to succeed. A CGM provides the doctor with hard data for the purposes of further educating the patient, providing counseling support services, and/or additional medical interventions related to sugar addiction.
The CGM connects by bluetooth to my CGM phone app in real time. The app can be optionally set to upload data to the cloud and shared in real time with your doctor, support group, friends, family, etc. The app can also be set to send alarms or push notifications when blood glucose data is outside of set ranges. In this regard, a CGM has the potential to be a timely, affordable, and highly effective monitoring device that goes directly to the primary root cause of cancer.
I heard a surgeon say the cancer patient does not die from cancer but the surgery
Yes, because when they remove it, they are inadvertently allowing the cells to spread and metastasize.
Needs to be a way to isolate the tumors from allowing the cells cut away to spread into the body. (freezing? Containing it somehow? Idk but must be a way) before removing it
How many are vaxxed and boosted?
does ketosis help with blood cancers, like MPN (ET)???
This was so good
I read that some types of cancer can use fats and proteins. How to treat these types?
How about high-grade endometrial ovarian spreading.......to the Lymphnotes .....is there a cure OR HELP ? PLEEEEAAAASEEEE ?
Thank you
