Just getting started

Without question the metabolic therapeutic approaches explored so far have exhibited tremendous promise with minimal side-effects. The first and most obvious place to start is by implementing a ketogenic diet, starving the cancer cells of the glucose they so heavily rely on for survival. The preclinical results have been remarkably consistent. In virtually every experiment in which the ketogenic diet has been tested in mice, tumor growth rates have slowed. The results of the diet stand alone, but the results get really exciting when the diet is utilized in addition to other therapies. Preclinical evidence has shown that the ketogenic diet is able to put cancer cells under significant metabolic stress allowing addition therapies, like standard-of-care chemotherapy, radiation, and hyperbaric-oxygen to push the cells over the edge, increasing their efficacy exponentially. And this is just scratching the surface. So much remains to be done.
