Trillions of dollars are spent on cancer research, yet the mortality rates haven't changed in decades. Cancer is a heterogeneous disease, which means there are many different types.
Understanding how cancer works is key to cancer prevention. Cancer tends to spread to areas of inflammation and to regions in the body where oxygen is scarce.
Cancer is constantly evading your immune system! Vitamin D is essential for the health and proper functioning of your immune system. Cancer cells tend to block the receptors for vitamin D to combat this. It's beneficial to increase your vitamin D levels to penetrate the resistance created by cancer.
Understanding which fuel a specific cancer uses is key to starving cancer. The majority of cancers utilize glucose and glutamine as their primary sources of fuel. Some cancers live on lipids and BCAAs, and some can even live on ketones!
Cancer is highly adaptive, so effective cancer prevention requires multiple strategies, including diet rotation and intermittent fasting.
Different types of cancer require the removal of different foods from the diet. Rotating the diet and removing the fuel that a specific type of cancer needs to survive prevents cancer from growing and taking over.
Healthy Keto paired with intermittent fasting is the best diet for cancer prevention.
Prolonged fasting is one of the best things you can do if you have cancer. Although some cancers can survive on ketones, ketones from fasting do not feed cancer cells.
To prevent cancer and support the immune system, keep your blood levels of vitamin D at around 90-100 ng/mL. Incorporate regular exercise and prioritize both intermittent and prolonged fasting.
