    Could a ketogenic diet eventually be a "standard of care"
drug-free treatment for cancer? Personally, I believe it's
absolutely crucial, for whatever type of cancer you're trying
to address, and hopefully some day it will be adopted as a
first line of treatment.

    A ketogenic diet calls for eliminating all but non-
starchy vegetable carbohydrates, and replacing them with
healthy fats and high-quality protein.

    The premise is that since cancer cells need glucose to
thrive, and carbohydrates turn into glucose in your body,
then lowering the glucose level in your blood though carb
and protein restriction literally starves the cancer cells into
oblivion. Additionally, low protein intake tends to minimize
the mTOR pathway that accelerates cell proliferation.

    This type of diet, in which you restrict all but non-starchy
vegetable carbs and replace them with low to moderate
amounts of high-quality protein and high amounts of
beneficial fat, is what I recommend for everyone, whether you
have cancer or not. It's a diet that will help optimize your
weight and all chronic degenerative disease. Eating this way
will help you convert from carb burning mode to fat burning.

    Dr. Thomas Seyfried is one of the leading pioneer
academic researchers in promoting how to treat cancer
nutritionally. He's been teaching neurogenetics and
neurochemistry as it relates to cancer treatment at Yale
University and Boston College for the past 25 years.

    He's written over 150 peer-reviewed scientific articles
and book chapters, and has also published a book, Cancer as a
Metabolic Disease: On the Origin, Management, and Prevention
of Cancer.

Ketogenic Diet Accepted as First Line Approach for Epilepsy;

Is Cancer Next?

    The ketogenic diet has actually been used for managing
seizures in children for quite some time. While Dr. Seyfried
and his team worked on brain cancer and epilepsy in mice,
one of his students suggested investigating whether or not a
ketogenic diet might also be effective against tumors.

    So, in the late '90s, they began dovetailing their work
on ketogenic diets and epilepsy and cancer together,
eventually bringing them to a better understanding of how
changing your whole-body metabolic state can be effective in
targeting and eliminating tumor cells.

    Interestingly, clinical medicine has recognized the
ketogenic diet as a valuable option in the treatment of
epilepsy since the late 90's.

        "I served as the organizer for the Ketogenic Diet
Special Interest Group at the American Epilepsy Society,
" Dr.Seyfried says.

        "We initially started as a small focus group with the
folks from Johns Hopkins Medical School, where the diet has
had its greatest use and impact. And then we started to grow
and substantially increase interest mainly through the
efforts of Jim Abrahams.

        Jim started the Charlie Foundation for his son Charlie,
who went through a near-death experience from seizures
and was rescued using ketogenic diets. His colleague, Meryl
Streep, the famous movie actress, became very involved in this.

        Now the ketogenic diet is receiving considerable attention
in the epilepsy community as a first line of approach. Although
this is still not widely accepted, I have to admit that the ketogenic
diet is now recognized as an important component for the
management of refractory seizures in children."

    According to Dr. Seyfried, the mechanism by which the
ketogenic diet manages seizures is not nearly as clear as the
way the ketogenic diet manages cancer. This is ironic
considering that it's barely known, let alone applied, within
oncology circles, while it's already a first line of
treatment for epilepsy. In the case of cancer, it's well-
established that it's the glucose reduction that kills the
cancer cells.

Cancer Is a Mitochondrial Metabolic Disease

    Dr. Seyfried has developed a process called metabolic
control analysis, which essentially analyzes the metabolic
flux through different pathways that occurs when you
transition your body from one major fuel source to another
major fuel source, to maintain energy homeostasis in your

body. Many believe or are under the impression that cancer
is primarily a genetic disease, but Dr. Seyfried dispels such
notions.

        "We're not going to make major advances in the
management of cancer until it becomes recognized as a
metabolic disease. But in order to do that, you have to
present a massive counterargument against the gene theory
of cancer," he says.

        "One of the key issues here is that if you transplant
the nucleus of a cancer cell into a normal cell, you don't
get cancer cells. You can actually get normal tissues and
sometimes a whole normal organism from the nucleus of a
cancer cell. Now, if the tumors are being driven by driver
genes all these kinds of mutations and things that we hear
about how is it possible that all of this is changed when you
place this cancer nucleus into the cytoplasm of a cell with
normal mitochondria?

        The gene theory cannot address this. It clearly argues
strongly against the concept that genes are driving this
process.  Actually, a very few people inherit genes that
predispose them to cancer. Most people inherit genes that
prevent cancer. And those few genes that are inherited the
germ line like the BRCA1 mutations, B53, and a few other
veryrare cancers these inherited mutations appear to disrupt
the function of the mitochondria."

    According to Dr. Seyfried, the mitochondria the main
power generators in your cells are the central point in the
origin of most cancers. Your mitochondria can be damaged
not only by inherited mutations, thereby increasing your risk
for a particular type of cancer, such as the BRCA1 and BRCA2
mutations that increase your risk of breast and ovarian cancer.
They can also be damaged by environmental factors, such as
toxins and radiation, both ionizing and non-ionizing.

Over time, damage to your mitochondria can lead to dysfunction
and tumor formation.

        "It's ultimately a disease of the mitochondrial
energy metabolism, which is the origin of the disease," Dr.
Seyfried says." Once the mitochondria become dysfunctional or
insufficient in ability, mutations will occur. The drugs that
have been developed based on the genome projects have been
largely ineffective in providing long-term care and are
associated with toxic effects. As long as the field continues
to focus on that part of the disease, which is a downstream
epiphenomenon, there will be no major advances in the field
simply because that's not the relevant aspect of the disease."

Sugar Is the Primary Fuel for Most Cancers

    Controlling your blood-glucose leptin and insulin levels
through diet, exercise and emotional stress relief can be one
of the most crucial components to a cancer recovery program.
These factors are also crucial in order to prevent cancer in
the first place.In 1931, the Nobel Prize was awarded to
German researcher Dr. Otto Warburg, who discovered that
cancer cells have a fundamentally different energy metabolism
compared to healthy cells, and that malignant tumors tend to
feed on sugar. More recently, researchers discovered that
while cancer cells feed on both glucose and fructose,
pancreatic tumor cells use fructose specifically to divide
and proliferate.

    Dr. Seyfried's work confirms that sugar is the primary
fuel for cancer, and that by restricting sugar and providing
an alternate fuel, namely fat, you can dramatically reduce
the rate of growth of cancer. He explains:

    "When we're dealing with glucose and cancer management,
we know from a large number of studies that if respiration of
the tumor is ineffective, in order to survive, the cells must
use an alternative source of energy, which is fermentation.
We know that glucose is the primary fuel for fermentation.
Fermentation becomes a primary energy-generating process
in the tumor cell. By targeting the fuel for that process, we
then have the capability of potentially managing the disease."

    The strategy Dr. Seyfried suggests is a low-carb, low to
moderate protein, high-fat diet, which will effectively lower
your blood sugar. This is an easily measurable parameter that
you can check using a diabetic blood glucose meter. This type
of diet, called a ketogenic diet, will also elevate ketone
bodies, as fat is metabolized to ketones that your body can
burn in the absence of food. When combined with calorie
restriction, the end result will put your body in a metabolic
state that is inhospitable to cancer cells.

        "Ketones is a fat breakdown product that can replace
glucose as a major fuel for many of the organs and especially
our brain," he says.

    Tumor cells, however, cannot use ketone bodies because of
their respiratory insufficiency. So the ketogenic diet represents
an elegant, non-toxic way to target and marginalize tumor cells.
It also allows you to dramatically lower your glucose levels, as
the ketones will protect your body against any hypoglycemia
that might otherwise be induced by carb restriction.

    All of the newer cells in your body will be transitioned
to these effective ketones, thereby preventing them from
damage from hypoglycemia. At the same time, the tumor cells
are now marginalized and under tremendous metabolic stress.

It's a whole body therapy you need to bring the whole body
into this metabolic state," he explains.

    "We like to call it a new state of metabolic homeostasis:
a state where ketones have reached the steady state level in
your blood and glucose has reached a steady lower level in
your blood... If it's done right and implemented right, it has
powerful therapeutic benefits on the majority of people
who suffer from various kinds of cancers. Because all cancers
have primarily the same metabolic defect."

Blood pressure is the force your blood exerts on your arteries as it flows through your body. If you have high blood pressure it means that your blood is exerting too much force on your arteries and is making your heart's job--pumping blood--more difficult than it should be.

Now, your heart is a powerful and efficient muscle, but if it's forced to work too hard for too long it can enlarge, wear out or fail, causing a heart attack, stroke, aneurysm... and an early death.

When you have your blood pressure taken, you're given two numbers referred to as your Systolic and Diastolic blood pressure.

Your Systolic blood pressure is the measurement of the pressure your blood exerts on your arteries when your heart beats, while your Diastolic blood pressure is the measurement of the pressure your blood exerts on your arteries when your heart is at rest.
What's The Difference Between Normal Blood Pressure and High Blood Pressure?

For an average adult:
Blood Pressure Stage                Systolic     Diastolic
Normal                                            120              80
Pre-Hypertension                      120-139        80-99
Stage One Hypertension           140-159        90-99
Stage Two Hypertension              160+           100+

If your blood pressure consistently reads in the Hypertension or Pre-hypertension categories, then you need to take immediate and lasting action if you want to live a long and healthy life.

According to the American Heart Association, about 65 Million Americans over the age of 20 have high blood pressure. That's about one in three adults.

In 2003 more than 52,000 Americans died from complications related to high blood pressure. Between 1993 and 2004 the rate of death from high blood pressure rose nearly 30 percent.

Scientific Studies...Cancer

 More on Scientific Studies

I have talked about how Big Pharma makes a worthless substance look good. They use scientists who masterfully compare one type of toxic sludge to another type of toxic sludge. Or they compare how the toxic sludge does at treating symptoms. Or they use fancy statistical tricks. Or they design the study to insure no substantive information comes out of the study. An so on and so forth.

But the scientific industry (they are certainly not real scientists, they are more of an industry) are frequently given another assignment: make a good substance look bad!! In other words, they are sometimes assigned to make a bad substance look good, but in other cases they are assigned to make a good substance look bad.

Let us talk more about the Vitamin C treatment of Cameron and Pauling. Their study was profound, and it could have led to treatments that saved many, many lives. But it was not profitable and it did not make doctors look like heroes.

What do you think the reaction of orthodox medicine was to this great discovery? Do you think they tried to find ways to use this discovery and even enhance it? Don’t be absurd. Their reaction was identical to their reaction to all of the other great discoveries in alternative medicine, they wanted to bury the truth.

But one of the participants of the Vitamin C study was a two-time Nobel Prize winner. Linus Pauling had already won a Nobel Prize in chemistry and he won the Nobel Peace Prize. His integrity was unquestioned. They had made a great discovery. Thus orthodox medicine could not simply bury his studies. They decided to use a tactic to destroy truth that had been refined and perfected by the tobacco industry. That tactic was to create new studies that were designed to distract attention from the truth. In this case, however, they had to make a good substance look bad.

But how in the world do you make a good substance look bad? Orthodox medicine called upon Dr. Moertel of the Mayo Clinic to design three bogus studies, which did not, by any stretch of the imagination, follow the same treatment protocol, or the same patient selection protocol or the same statistical evaluation protocol, as Cameron and Pauling had used (actually, Dr. Moertel was not involved in the third study).

Now note this carefully, if the Mayo Clinic wanted to know the truth about the Cameron/Pauling studies, they would have taken great care to follow their treatment protocol, patient selection protocol and statistical evaluation protocol exactly!! To use high school students again, a group of high school students could have followed the Cameron/Pauling protocols perfectly.

But Dr. Moertel was assigned to make a good substance look bad, thus he could not follow the same protocols as Pauling and Cameron, he had to modify the protocols in order to come to a different conclusion. The Mayo Clinic took great care to make sure they did not follow the Cameron/Pauling protocols. Since they didn’t follow protocols, they didn’t come to the same conclusions.

So who do you think that orthodox medicine, the government, the media, quackwatch, etc. quotes when the subject of Vitamin C and cancer comes up? Obviously, they quote the Mayo Clinic studies, not the three studies (done in Scotland, Canada and Japan) that did follow the same treatment and evaluation protocols.

Here is the key point  how can they disprove a study unless they follow the same protocols and come to a different conclusion?? They can’t. If you don’t follow the original protocol exactly, and if you come to a different conclusion, you have not proven anything!! If you want to disprove something you must follow the exact protocols. Moertel and company didn’t do that, yet they claimed to have disproven Cameron and Pauling.

With three bogus studies to tell the world about, the Cancer Industry claimed that Moertel and company followed the right protocol, and because Pauling and Cameron did not follow the Moertel protocols that therefore the Pauling and Cameron studies were false!! If your brain just exploded, I fully understand.

Do you understand what they did? They agreed that a person should follow the same protocol in order to disprove something. However, they made it appear that the Moertel protocol was superior and that because Pauling and Cameron did not follow the Mortel protocol the results of the Cameron and Pauling study were false. I have an entire chapter in my other free, online eBook on the Pauling/Cameron/Moertel studies.

My point is that for all bad substances (e.g. tobacco) there are two kinds of studies: studies that make the substance look bad (because it is bad) and studies that make the substance look good, or at least not harmful (because they are funded by Big Tobacco or Big Pharma). Likewise, for all good substances (e.g. Vitamin C) there are two kinds of studies, those that make the substance look good (because it is good) and those that make it look bad, or worthless (because they are funded by Big Pharma). This gives the FDA a blank check to approve or disapprove any substance, whether it is good or bad.

In addition, Congress has given the FDA, NIH, NCI, etc. a big club to legally stop any study (that is not totally under the control of orthodox medicine) that compares alternative treatments to chemotherapy. This means item #2 above is impossible to accomplish for any type of alternative treatment, meaning that without item #2, the gathering of item #3 statistics are impossible to accumulate! The charts mentioned previously can never be made!

If anyone thinks for one minute that the FDA is corrupt and Congress is a group of saints, they need to have a reality check. Congress created the FDA, Congress lets them do what they want, and Congress only criticizes the FDA when the media cannot suppress what they have done. In other words, Congress only criticizes the FDA when their re-election might be threatened. And that never happens.

But let us not forget the scientists who bow to Big Pharma. Lest you think that scientists cannot be corrupted by the pharmaceutical industry, as they were by the tobacco industry, consider this quote:

    In June [2002], the New England Journal of Medicine, one of the most respected medical journals, made a startling announcement. The editors declared that they were dropping their policy stipulating that authors of review articles of medical studies could not have financial ties to drug companies whose medicines were being analyzed.

    The reason? The journal could no longer find enough independent experts. Drug company gifts and consulting fees are so pervasive that in any given field, you cannot find an expert who has not been paid off in some way by the industry. So the journal settled for a new standard: Their reviewers can have received no more than $10,000 [per year] from companies whose work they judge. Isn’t that comforting?

    This announcement by the New England Journal of Medicine is just the tip of the iceberg of a scientific establishment that has been pervasively corrupted by conflicts of interest and bias, throwing doubt on almost all scientific claims made in the biomedical field.

    The standard announced in June was only for the reviewers. The actual authors of scientific studies in medical journals are often bought and paid for by private drug companies with a stake in the scientific results. While the NEJM and some other journals disclose these conflicts, others do not. Unknown to many readers is the fact that the data being discussed was often collected and analyzed by the maker of the drug involved in the test.

    http://www.healtoronto.com/big_pharm.html

But even this quote does not pinpoint how the pharmaceutical industry has achieved total suppression of truth.

Think for a moment about the difference between how the tobacco industry suppressed the truth between 1954 and the 1990s, and how the pharmaceutical industry is suppressing the truth today. Try to isolate and pinpoint the huge difference between their tactics before reading on

With the tobacco industry, the tobacco sponsored studies did not find a relationship between tobacco and lung cancer, and other diseases. On the other hand, non-tobacco industry studies did consistently find a relationship between tobacco and lung cancer, etc.

Likewise, the pharmaceutical industry studies on aspartame did not find any health problems with aspartame. On the other hand, the non-pharmaceutical industry studies did find health problems with aspartame.

As you might suspect, the pharmaceutical industry studies on orthodox treatments do not find any problems with orthodox cancer treatments (how can you find a problem by comparing your old toxic sludge to your new toxic sludge). However, and here is the difference, because of the FDA, NCI and AMA there are no scientific studies on alternative cancer treatments!!! They are not legal. They are not allowed.

Do you see the difference? Anyone who wants to find the truth about alternative cancer treatments are not allowed to do studies! The pharmaceutical industry has gone a giant leap beyond what the tobacco industry was able to do. There are NO truthful studies to dilute!

For example, during the 42 years the tobacco industry was funding their many hundreds of bogus scientific studies, suppose a government agency had the authority to block ANY study that was not funded by the tobacco industry? That is exactly the level of suppression of truth that the pharmaceutical industry has achieved  they have been able to block all cancer studies that are not funded by the pharmaceutical industry or our corrupt government!!! It is not that these studies are not being done, it is that the government does not give them any official status (more will be said about this below).

You have now heard a few of the good things about alternative cancer treatments (truth table #3) and a few of the bad things about orthodox cancer treatments (truth table #4). Let’s analyze why, throughout your life, you have only heard the items in truth table #1 and truth table #2.
