I applied Prof Thomas Seyfried's protocol (without DON pulse) maintaining therapeutic ketosis in conjunction with chemotherapy. I am currently NED. All tumors RESOLVED. 👍🥳🤗 Stage 3 metastasized endometrial cancer.

Dr. Seyfried is on fire! Love these gentlemen. Thank you both!

43:06 "The solution to the cancer problem is quite simple: Lower the blood sugar, Elevate the ketones and then you come in with pulsing of the glutamine pathway and you should be able to manage these cancers quite effectively without toxicity."

Nearly 10 years ago I had stage 4 lung cancer with pelvis degeneration and a 50mm hole given 3 months to live - started Keto and now completely healed with bone regrowth.
May 22 6 stage 4 brain tumours - given 3 weeks to live.
I am now 59 years old now fully carnivorous with nearly all tumours healed with the assistance of the medication.
Going to be here for quite a while as I want to celebrate my youngest Granddaughter 18th birthday when I am 75.

As a RN working at the bedside, I thank you so much for this and just want to help get the message out, thank you again

Whenever I have doubts, I remind myself that Dr. Seyfried is a prominent academic and researcher, a respected professor sharing his hard-earned insights and research to help reduce suffering. He isn’t selling anything. He could have joined the other side and made millions by promoting big pharma. Inability to fully grasp the science is not a valid argument against it.

Bravo Dr. Westman. An awakening is occurring.

[EvgeniiaDolinenko]

I don't understand 70% of this video, I get lost in scientific terms. But i wholeheartedly respect such researchers. What i take from this video is that cancer probably is a metabolic desease. And glucose feeds cancer. Thank you.

He has my gratitude for doing this research and also his service in the US Army in Vietnam. "Seyfried also served in the United States Army during the Vietnam War, receiving the Bronze Star, the Air Medal, and the Army Commendation Medal"

Loved this podcast. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2020. I had been following a ketogenic lifestyle for a few years. My oncologist told me that I was “way ahead” because of that. She even had me talk about keto to a group of interns. All blank faces unfortunately. But there are doctors out there who see the importance of low carb. I still maintain this way of eating although I am more ketovore now 😊

[petejandrell]

This bloke is passionate, in tears here listening and watching

[odaynedaley]

Thomas Seyfried is doing historic work

[shynebull]

Both these men are saints! Thank you both!

[AndreaSwiedler]

I was actually hoping you would discuss this! Thank you. I have heard him before and he really opened my eyes. Thank you for being so open about things. ❤

[SuccessfulKetoLifestyle]

This was a wonderful interview Dr Westman. I hope you have Dr Seyfried on again!

[kingghidorah]

Just like with the LDL/Heart disease hypothesis
If you’re climbing the wrong ladder it doesn’t matter how high you get

I have listened to Thomas for a long time. He is getting better at interacting with the interviewers to clearly explain his research as time goes by. He is passionate about his research. It's a pity he is pushing against one of the big lucrative medical dogmas, which is the cancer industry.

[ShyGuyLoveSongs]

Great interview. Dr. Seyfried will be proven correct in my opinion. How long that takes? Who knows. In the meantime I’ll try to keep my mitochondria as healthy as possible with a low card diet and exercise. That’s my plan.

[dianemackay]

You both are two SUPER HEROS...Love you both ..thank you for your dedication to telling the TRUTH...if only people will listen.

@8:25 An indirect CARB calorie restriction, CARBS are the agonist, NOT the "calories" themselves, which is why Keto supresses cancer metabolism. Cancer cells specifically require CARBS for ATP production and Glycolisis metabolism and CAN NOT use "calores" from protein, fats, ethanol or Organic Acids - which is what Ketones are -, because those are NOT fermentable by Glycolysis, which is why witholding & RESTRICTING CARBS that cancers use for metabolic fuel, and upregulating intake of protein, fat and ketones that CAN'T be used as a fuel substrate to suport cancer's fermentation & glycolysis metabolism, works to supress cancer.
