Re: Cancer as a Metabolic Disease, are we treating cancer incorreclty?

I think I am doing more of what would be considered a modified ketogenic diet. I am also working on supplementation and monitoring with my FABNO/naturopathic-onc. I actually eat a lot of vegetables in my diet, if not more than before, but there are some rules to follow about the carbohydrate levels. My body has shown me that a few baby carrots it doesn't care about, nor small quantities of blueberries, cherry tomatoes, and other high vitamin C and high anti-oxident fruits -- taken in small quantities. My body has stayed in ketosis with spaghetti squash prepared with lots of butter and cheese. The body is more forgiving than the diet dictates but it does take work and a willingness/ability to cook and plan ahead.

Interesting that your onc has been following your markers. I have had nothing tracked.

Chinese medicine has followed me most closely and myself I have observed that TCM tongue diagnosis on myself has been very revealing of my own disease state -- it was pale before I knew what was going on and each time the cancer started to overwhelm my system any improvement in color and shape started to slip away. I have just found it interesting. I think need to get a level tested for a tumor antigen test I'm having done. I might wait until the end of February when I'm not being irradiated every day.
