Is Dr. Tom Seyfried Right? Metabolic Cancer Therapy Explained

Metabolic Cancer Therapy aims to deprive cancer of the resources it needs to survive. Top cancer researchers like Dr. Thomas Seyfried and Dr. Lewis Cantley believe targeting metabolic dependencies in cancer will deliver breakthroughs in treatment and prevention.
Discover evidence-backed treatments that have demonstrated the ability to starve cancer cells by disrupting access to critical fuel sources—glucose, amino acids, and fatty acids. Olena Ivanova clearly breaks down decades of research, outlining the metabolic approach to using nutrition, supplements, and safe medications to starve cancer.

Whether you're navigating a cancer journey or proactively seeking preventive measures, this video arms you with empowering knowledge. For a personalized treatment plan consult with a licensed medical provider.

This is 100% I am currently in Istanbul undergoing cancer treatment, I was diagnosed 1st February 2024, I started this treatment after my children discovered Thomas Seyfried. I had stage 4 colon cancer, besides my colon, the cancer had spread to my liver, lungs and bone. After 6 rounds of treatment they did a PET scan on me, I was 90% clean, each round of treatment takes place over 3 days, I am currently doing round 10, with 2 more rounds left after which my next scan will be done, scheduled for 22 August 2024, after which we hope for a 100% clean result. I battled to walk, breath, shower and even blowdry my hair, today I walked to and from the Everybody at the clinic is just AMAZING, hope this information will help others to know that a cancer diagnosis does not mean the end of our lives, there is hope. Metabolic cancer therapy works. ❤👍😁

I was diagnosed with stage 4 prostrate cancer November 2022. Here's my routine which i learned from other stage 4 survivors. *I have the BRCA2 gene (not good). I have about 30 spots all over my body. I currently am on ADT therapy and immunatherapy. Also on Lynparza. I did 10 rounds of radiation in feb 2023, no chemo yet. Here's what's changed my life. After diagnosis....I tried the carnivore diet...it did not work. God introduced me to a guy in California who's lived with stage 4 without meds for a few years now. He taught me most of what i know now. (Thanks Mark!). I now eat 99% plant based organic diet. Drink only distilled water and in my coffee as well. I can eat wild caught fish but not farm raised. I will have a glass of organic wine once a month but i pay for it. No sugar, no pork, red meat once every 60 days, chicken once a month. I take about 35 supplements a day along with mushroom powder. **I used to think plant based and organic people were nuts...i was wrong. Stage 4 is managing inflammation and determining how your body responds to certain foods. Nutrition, sleep, exercise MUST be balanced. It's hard to understand what i am talking about unless you have cancer or some other terminal illness. Here's the important point...you MUST change your habits. While I do trust my doctors, I am not a fan of the drug companies/system. I know my time on earth is limited so quality of life is key...the organic plant based diet has improved quality 10-fold.

Dr Seyfried also recommends "water fasting" as the best way to achieve a higher level of ketosis than with a ketogenic diet. You can easily prove that yourself by measuring your ketone level. I use inexpensive "Ketone Strips" available at Walmart. I have compared my ketone levels on a ketogenic diet to that achieved when water fasting. Water fasting achieves much higher levels and more quickly. However Dr Seyfried also admits that many people do not have the willpower to do water fasting. Myself? I go to great extremes to keep my cancer in remission. Hence I incorporate regular water fasting into my healthy lifestyle. I think this option should have been mentioned in this video.

Nice overview, didn't know about fatty acids and I heard Seyfried only talk about Glutamine, good to know there are more aminco acids important for cancer.

This video should have 21 milli9n views instead of 21, 000… Where are all the newly diagnosed patients looking for alternative therapies!?!?! Why you would first take life threatening chemo and radiation that your doctor knows will eventually kill you before doing at least the minimum of getting into therapeutic ketosis, doing some fasting perhaps 30-40 days, taking vitamins and perhaps a dewormer for 6 months!?!? WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO LOSE!?!?!? It baffles my mind….

Great info! You should be invited Sanjay Juneja‘s Target: Cancer podcast!

Dr Seyfried I have great respect for you, Sir... right now I am reading your book, its gripping, thank you... I also was diagnosed with cancer, & I have to say you are a Blessing too me, because knowing me I will not allow any chemo/radiation etc. To be done on my body, I have to say you are right on time(you are a prayer come through). I have ordered the keto mojo & ordered iver/ fen. Waiting its arrival, right now I am on strict keto diet, fasting inbetween, & most important praising God & feeling "Great".... I still have minor concerns in dosage & press/pulse procedure. But I know before the med & meter arrive I will acquire those thanks again... God Bless....

Grateful to your videos, keep teaching.

This presentation is clear and helpful, for giving the basics of metabolic therapy.

I have just been diagnosed with breast cancer. I'm awaiting a lung biopsy (next week) to determine if spots on my lung are malignant. My oncologist is already steering me to chemo and radiation therapy. But I want to try metabolic cancer therapy. Where can I find someone to guide me? I am overwhelmed with all this information, but need a practical guide to walk me through the process. Can anyone help me? There is no medical provider I can turn to in my area to help me. They are all tightly locked in to the medical establishment.

Hi. I need info on kidney cancer. My husband just got diagnosed 3 days ago. And it shocked my family as he had no symptoms except blood in the urine. His cancer is spread to his left femur, right pelvis and right 7th rib. Any input is valuable to my husband’s current diagnosis. Thank you in advance. God bless.

I have conflicting information about consuming fruits in cancer diet; some sources say ANY kind of fruits (fresh only, not dried!) are allowed, some other sources say that high glycemic fruits are not. We have a lot of organic grapes - that we know are antioxidants - am I allowed to eat them? Or should I avoid? Could you, please, answer my question?

[EminahRamphisa]

That's true. Dr O'Oniel said cancer love sugar. So we must avoid sugar instead take green tea or ginger tea first thing in the morning❤and I do that.

[ಪ್ರತಿಮಾಮೋಹ]

Thank you so much madam for compiling all the research updates ..

[Elenitsa]

Doesn’t mostly everything we eat turn into a simple sugar molecule like glucose, lactose etc? So we should stop eating then?

[mdrahamatullahmd]

Today I am 59. I am CLL blood cancer patient. I was diagnosed cll in 2022. My treating physician applied cap Ibrutinib upto July 2024. Afterwards, suddenly stopped this medicine and started Acalabrutinib. Conclusively, I am fine. There is no complications with me except weakening and decreasing of bodyweight. My current body weight is 55kg. Would you please take pity on me. Would you please give me medical suggestion whether my treatment is going on well or not. Also suggest me diet for longer living.

[DonnaHayes-hq]

My only question is how to go Keto ie Hugh meat which is Glutamine?? Taking canavanine, berberine etc?

[briangman]

I am looking at this a more a preventative evidence for a better diet in individual at high risk for cancer

[cathieboggs]

Can you simplify what to take? Thank you

[ricrecede]

How can we avail of this treatment in the Phils.? We cant afford to get greatment abroad since we dont have money to do so.
