Can a keto diet eliminate cancer growth? Dr. Thomas Seyfried says yes

Can a keto diet eliminate cancer growth? Dr. Thomas Seyfried says yes | TARGET: Cancer Podcast | Ep. 42

In this episode, Dr. Thomas Seyfried discusses metabolic approaches to cancer. Learn how depriving cancer cells of fermentable fuels like glucose and glutamine can starve and kill them. Challenge the genetic disease model and discover the impact of ketosis on mitochondrial health. Uncover the truth about cancer as a metabolic, not genetic, disease. Empower yourself with the knowledge to combat cancer through metabolic strategies and learn about the dangers surrounding us: processed foods.

Diagnosed with a very aggressive prostate cancer. Doctor said get ready for chemo and radiation, he was convinced it was in the lymph nodes and maybe has spread. Right after the diagnosis I went full Keto, moved my body to good PH level. No sugar at all. Lots of exercise, prayer and meditation. After the surgery doctor was perplexed and said “your lymph nodes are clean. 6 years later still still good .

[robinbeers]

Dr. Seyfreid is my hero. I am 16 years past a cancer diagnosis. Still kicking.

[ntombisithole]

We just have to starve these cancer cells. I was recently diagnosec with stage 4 breast cancer, but i am hopeful to survive it after watching this video. Thank you Dr❤

[elkiton]

Hi. FYI. I have aggressive prostate cancer, 2018 operation not successful, spread to lymph nodes. 9 months hormone treatment. Went to ketogenic diet, fasting weekly, 2 x meals a day, carbs 10 to 20 gms/day. No fruit, reduced calorie intake, track ketones daily. Lost 25 kg fat. Commenced daily weight training. Result.... No meds needed 4 years now, psa count is Increasing slowly, in good health, have outlived predicted life expectancy. For me, low insulin and high ketones works, not a cure, but does slow it's growth. Took nearly a year to break the carb addiction.

[lindabranch]

This is a very good video. I am a cancer survivor who spent 22 years in the military and my parting gift was cancer. At the same time one of my sisters had esophageal cancer (yeah at the same time). I had no idea the impact that sugar had on cancer. Fast forward I lost an uncle, sister and brother from Pancreatic cancer all within one year. I became numb and went into deep depression. I have learned better and am implementing, less carbs, not eating out as much as possible, cooking, gardening and exercising daily Although the exercise while in the military didn't stop it. I am growing. I have been cancer free for 16 years. I am sharing all that I learn and explaining this to my daughter. I am no longer diabetic, PCOS not sure about anymore, migraines gone, nerve pain has decreased and vertigo almost gone. I have lost 67lbs and my goal to continue until i get all or as much of my visceral fat gone as possible.

[skippylippy]

I started a Keto lifestyle 11 years ago when diagnosed with Melanoma and Diabetes Type 2.
The cancer did not come back. I am no longer a diabetic.
I don't take any medications and my blood sugar is normal.

[robertdurst]

I know of a Stage IV cancer who had a remission from a strict keto diet, relapsed when stopped diet, cancer went back into remission after restarting keto diet

[theketosurfer]

I got diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma (11 Bone Lesions) in 2019 and did my chemo and BMT but I started a Nutritional Keto diet with Intermittent Fasting from the start of diagnosis and refused maintenance drugs post BMT..I broke all records for most Bone marrow harvested and shortest time in hospital, I also didnt require a blood transfusion, I am still Cancer free at 0.6 Free light chains at my last test..I now cycle in and out of Keto and remain strong fit active and healthy.
Keto definitely works to fight and beat Cancer. We need to keep spreading this info and help people believe they can heal with food and the correct mental and spiritual power💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽😎🤙🏼

[iamkerenlouise]

Dr. Thomas Seyfried is genuinely a gifted and brilliant talent on cancer and metabolic treatment approaches. He deserves so many more accolades.

[tamirundell]

Thank you Dr Seyfried. I was told 1 year ago that I would not live a year without chemo. Im still here and getting better. I started out fasting. Then I cut out all sugar and carbs. I lost 60 pounds and gained a new life. I feel better than ever.

2:23: ✨ Cancer cells can be starved by removing their fermentable fuels, such as glucose and glutamine.
4:33: ⚡ The dependence of cancer cells on fermentation and the role of oxidative phosphorylation in energy generation.
8:54: 🔬 The speaker discusses the use of VEGF inhibitors and growth factors in cancer treatment, highlighting their limitations and the importance of targeting fermentation.
13:14: 🔬 Using small doses of glutamine targeting drugs in conjunction with a ketogenic diet can effectively degrade tumor cells while promoting health in the rest of the body.
17:53: 🔬 Maintaining a state of ketosis through a low-carbohydrate diet and exercise can potentially reduce the likelihood of developing cancer by enhancing the health of mitochondria.
22:06: 🔬 Cancer is a metabolic disease caused by chronic damage to oxidative phosphorylation, primarily triggered by inflammatory insults and exposure to carcinogens.
26:52: 🍔 Highly processed carbohydrates in our diet contribute to inflammation, obesity, type two diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
30:44: 🏃 The importance of physical activity and its impact on our health and evolution.

Seyfried is an utter genius. Thank heavens people like him exist 🙏

[SurviveFromCancer]

Hi, I'm Guy Tenenbaum Cancer Survivor. I did interviews with a lot of people like Eric Berg and others. I would like to spread the word about how to cure cancer. Thomas Seyfried save my life.

[xpbvsqx]

Hello, I was diagnosed with lung cancer six years ago. Dr. Thomas, Dr. Li and Dr. Reza Hagh parast's talks were useful for me. I fully believe in Dr. Thomas's words, they are 100% true.

[porghvam]

We are victims of the greed of politicians, corporations, and shareholders

[Peekaboo-Kitty]

It's such a pity that the Medical Industry is not taking this Dr seriously. That shows you how corrupt our Medical Industry really is.

[michelepatterson]

My husband was diagnosed with Type 2B pancreatic cancer in May 2021, but cancer free shown through CT Scans. . I was fortunate to meet two cancer researchers associated with Dr Syfrieds system. We have been following his diet since December 17, 2023, the day after I learned of his program. THANK YOU DOCTOR ❤❤❤. Next cancer scan scheduled for late April 2023.

[darlenewilliams]

It's a shame that most insurance companies only pay for chemo and radiation which make people sick. I had a few relatives that went through the typical treatments and they still died. I am so glad there are podcasts like this one to educate the audience to other treatments out there. Thank you Dr. Seyfried.

[weberswonderland]

I did keto diet during my chemo. My cancer was gone in 7 months, much sooner than the doctors thought. I always wondered how much the chemo killed and how much the diet helped. I swore I would never do chemo or radiation again but it is very scary trusting just diet
