I liked the talk too. My bg has been somewhat elevated from where I would want it. After listening to her I decided that maybe it was just the age factor although the past few days were a little better. Now today it is just where I wanted, lower than I imagined it would ever go again. She really is magical .

This TEDx talk from last October in Sedona has finally been posted on YouTube. I am always looking for simple explanations of using the Ketogenic Diet along with standard of care for cancer, and Miriam Kalamian does that again by telling her family's personal story.
Excellent fifteen minutes, a good introduction to her book if you want to suggest adding nutritional therapy while still pursuing standard of care cancer treatment/when no treatment options are available. https://youtu.be/zYcjnGi5cOs

Advocating for a Therapeutic Ketogenic Diet | Miriam Kalamian EdM MS CNS

Quote:
You can’t hide from cancer. It touches every one of us in one way or another. While the march goes on to find a cure, over 4600 people a day - in the US alone- are handed a cancer diagnosis. What if you or a loved one become a statistic? And what if you learned that there was something you could do- right now- to take back some control? Enter the ketogenic diet. The concept of food as medicine is nothing new. What’s different now is that cancer research has given us a deeper appreciation of the changes that drive cancer at the cellular level. This information gives each of us the opportunity to shape indifference to diet into a new paradigm for cancer treatment that extends beyond clinic walls Miriam Kalamian is a nutrition consultant, educator, and author specializing in the implementation of ketogenic therapies. She earned her master of education (EdM) from Smith College and her master of human nutrition (MS) from Eastern Michigan University. She is board certified in nutrition (CNS) by the Board for Certification of Nutrition Specialists.

After USnews ranked the Ketogenic dead last in their list of Best Diets, Elaine Howley writes this:

Quote:

Can a Keto Diet Slow the Growth of Breast Cancer?
A diet that removes nearly all carbohydrates has shown some success in shrinking cancer tumors faster.

By Elaine K. Howley, Contributor |April 2, 2018


Remember way back in the 1980s and 1990s when fat was the enemy and doctors and nutritionists espoused the virtues of a high-carb, low-fat diet? When a plain baked potato was considered a healthy lunch and eggs, bacon and butter were bad? The food industry jumped on the bandwagon, stripping products of fat and cramming them full of sugar to keep them palatable just so they could label them as low-fat and thus boost sales.

By the early 2000s, though, that approach had turned completely on its head. The Atkins Diet, which promotes high protein and fat and low carbohydrate consumption, is often credited with leading the way toward the low-carb revolution. It gave way to the paleo diet movement, where people eat like our hunter-gatherer ancestors. And other fad diets have come and gone in between, each branding carbs and sugar as the enemy.

[See: The 10 Best Diets for Healthy Eating.]

More recently, the ketogenic or keto diet has begun garnering attention among ultra-endurance athletes and those seeking to lose weight. People following this diet eat no more than 10 percent of their calories from carbohydrates, about 20 percent from protein and the remaining 70 percent from healthy fats. Maintaining this ratio of macronutrients for a period of time (typically between two and seven days) causes your body to go into ketosis, a state in which the liver produces ketones – energy molecules derived from fatty acids produced by the liver as a byproduct of breaking down fat for fuel. The idea is that by depriving your body of carbohydrates, which it can more easily burn for energy, you force it into a fat-burning mode that torches reserved fat stores and bingo, you lose weight or can run, swim or bike nearly endlessly on minimal food.

Long article with links to studies continues....

https://health.usnews.com/health-ca...f-breast-cancer



Hysterically the link to 10 best diets does not include Keto, but with luck, people will read this article for content, not USDA influences.

Sometime in the 90’s I read a book that blamed breast cancer on fat, and I tried to follow their fulla veggies, Very Low Fat Diet.

Could. Not. Do. It.

My body screeched to a halt and started screaming for protein and fat. You want to talk non-compliance...

Of course, now I am glad I failed. Because such advice is all wrong.
