re: I was unaware of the metabolic approach to treating/curing cancer until now.

Just uses simple logic. Cancer needs glucose and glutamine. Do not provide it glucose and glutamine.

Ah yes, it’s just as simple as starving the cells. Welp folks, Gumbo has found the cure for all cancers. No need for chemo or radiation or immunotherapy.

The doctor's (not MD, PhD)

I haven't read any of your links or past the quoted part yet, but I normally laugh at this shite. At least he is specializing in a disease that kills humans. Like an MD, or as I call them, real doctors.

So he's close.

Just click on the link. You are a healthcare professional and will understand what the professor is saying. What the professor is saying is logical, scientifically factual if you believe the biochemistry and cellular biology courses you took in college and he has patient data to back it up.

It is not me. It is the professor. I'm just discussing it here. I'm not trying to sell something and not emotionally tied to the idea.

Have you heard of Otto Warburg? Google him...

Otto Warburg is mentioned in the book description on Amazon:

---

The book addresses controversies related to the origins of cancer and provides solutions to cancer management and prevention. It expands upon Otto Warburg's well-known theory that all cancer is a disease of energy metabolism. However, Warburg did not link his theory to the "hallmarks of cancer" and thus his theory was discredited. This book aims to provide evidence, through case studies, that cancer is primarily a metabolic disease requiring metabolic solutions for its management and prevention. Support for this position is derived from critical assessment of current cancer theories. Brain cancer case studies are presented as a proof of principle for metabolic solutions to disease management, but similarities are drawn to other types of cancer, including breast and colon, due to the same cellular mutations that they demonstrate.

I'm just giving you a hard time.

It is interesting research though. And I'm all about anything that advances eradicating cancer.

Yep. In a discussion that has the possibility, albeit remotely, of some interest, different topics, and opinions, pointing that out is silly.

And technically, I think that would be a usage error, not grammar.

Ha.

My BigPharma company (McKesson) is making a shite load of money off of my cancer meds that work.

Do they work, meaning do they CURE cancer, or do they simply prolong the treatment while they make their millions?

The phrase “glucose is gone” is inaccurate.
There is this phenomenon called gluconeogenesis that happens nightly where your liver make’s glucose to maintain homeostasis. In situations where your glucose levels drop too low acutely, such as a diabetes patient taking too much insulin, humans go into a hypoglycemic coma, which is not compatible with living. The inability to selectively deprive high metabolic cells like cancer cells of glucose while not having profound hypoglycemia is the fundamental flaw to this approach and another reason why cancer is a horrible class of diseases.
I despise false hope books that tell an incomplete story and elicit an emotional response. Further this is not a new approach, there is literally a class of cancer medicines called anti-metabolites, such as 5-FU and capecitabine. Don’t believe me, it is all publicly available information.
I really hope no one commenting in this thread is a supplier or selling DON and not disclosing that fact

Right. The professor talks about this in the link. There is a baseline glucose concentration in the blood. However the point is to have as many healthy cells available to compete with the cancer cells for those few glucose molecules available while under ketosis. He is not advocating for total abdication of chemo and radiation, just more of a minimus approach so you can maintain as many healthy normal cells as possible to compete with the cancer cells for the glucose.
