Fasting, Keto, And Cancer Treatment

Now, it turns out that a ketogenic diet is not the answer for every kind of cancer, but it's really good for cancers where you're doing radiation therapy because it makes the cancers much more radio sensitive because you're pulling all of the sugar out. And so you have this differential stress response. And so I'm like, well, that makes perfect sense. And so we did that. I did that with with them and vigor. And as it turned out, I only lost like three pounds, you know, through the whole thing and didn't have to use the feeding tube very much at all. I used it because you just can't taste any food when you're getting radiation and food just, there's no taste. So, you're just like taking food to get the nutrients. But I did that, but I also did another thing which was, working with fasting before chemo and the work of Dr. Walter Longo. And so we see all of the fasting mimicking diet stuff that's coming out now, but that's actually all derived from their original work in the early 2000s up to 2009 of working with cancer patients and saying, if we stop giving food before chemotherapy and the chemotherapy, then that's going to slow down the metabolism of the normal cells, but the cancer cells aren't going to be able to slow down their and so the cancer will be more sensitive and the normal tissue will be less sensitive. And so we get better tumorogenic effects or tumor lysis effects and we have decreased side effects from it. And so I went through that and people are saying, really? You're getting chemo every week and you have a feeding tube and you're eating keto and you're not eating any food for two of those seven days? and you think that's gonna be okay? Like, I don't know, but I'm gonna try it. And turns out it's very okay.
