Re: combining an NFKappa-beta inhibitor with metformin seems a "dynamic duo" vs. canc
I was on the Ketogenic diet and I am on a Metformin trial and I do take Turmeric every day. The Ketogenic diet is very difficult to follow if you have a child as cooking becomes a nightmare. But I have modified my diet and it is a low glycemic low calorie zone diet. I test my blood a couple of times a day to see where my glucose levels are. When I was diagnosed my levels were around 107!!!!!!! Now I'm at 81. I also have the Ketone blood strips but since I am no longer doing the Ketogenic diet, I don't use them.
The Keto diet is high in fat (the ratio for fat to protein is 4:1). The fat can come from olive oil, coconut oil, heavy cream or butter. I lasted about 2 weeks and I can no longer consume heavy cream or coconut oil...it makes me gag. Yuck.
If anyone is interested in the Ketogenic diet, I would recommend speaking to Miriam Kalamian. She does Skype consultations and her husband is a chef. The monitor all of the recipes you want using the Ketocalculator. If you are disciplined, it's worth a shot. Just remember that the Keto diet can cause kidney stones and gallbladder issues because of the amount of fat you consumer. oh, and you can get very constipated...very.
