Ketosis and Cancer: Targeting Tumor Cells with a Keto Diet

The chapter explores the use of a ketogenic diet to eliminate cancer growth by transitioning the body to ketosis, where cancer cells are deprived of glucose and glutamine fermentation. It discusses the efficacy of a press-pulse strategy that combines ketosis with small doses of glutamine inhibitor drugs to target tumor cells while preserving overall cell health. Additionally, the importance of perfecting dosage, timing, and scheduling in preclinical systems to improve the quality of life for stage four cancer patients is highlighted.
