Thank you for allowing me to be part of this group. Reading your stories is both happy and sad. So many brave and inspiring people here. The majority of my family has either died of cancer or has had cancer. My mom at 42 when i was 15 years old and my dad at 59. One sister breast and secondary bone *but still here and another with Chronic Leukemia. I have always been interested in integrated health especially for cancer. I read and read and read and listen to podcasts every day to increase my knowledge. Have done for years now. Appreciate and follow the work of Prof Seyfried. I now get lots of people asking me advice which obviously I have to be mindful of as not a dr. I point them in the direction of groups like these and Prof Seyfrieds work. I have been reading a lot of your posts and taking notes as to what you are all doing. Thank you for the opportunity.

Hi everyone, I just wanted to remind everyone to keep our group norms in mind when expressing our views about dietary interventions. I’ve noticed there is a little bit of dietary dogma (likely unintentional) going on and some contentions being expressed in ways that are getting close to the line of giving medical advice. While most of us follow Prof. Seyfried’s low GKI approach as part of metabolic therapy, this is not a carnivore group. Prof. Seyfried himself doesn’t prescribe a specific diet, he just recommends we get into nutritional ketosis and “drive the GKI way down.” One of the reasons this group was created was that in the “Keto for Cancer” group (in which some of us initially connected mid-2024) people who were not carnivore were vilified. I was one of these people. I was asked by the creator of that group to post photos of my meals (general keto, vegetarian keto and carnivore) and I did this pretty regularly with the intention of being helpful and inclusive. Then, when the creator quickly shifted his dietary stance to meat-only (in order to repackage and sell his own diet plan that he previously lacked success in) things got ideological and nasty. This is the context leading up to when I was suddenly questioned for posting meals that included olives, avocado and other plant-based fats. I was told this was “probably why people like [me] end up with cancer.” Not only is such a comment insensitive, there is no medical or scientific evidence for it. As such, if I have ever in any way made anyone who has had success with a vegetarian or vegan ketogenic diet feel bad, I sincerely apologise for this. Whether someone is having success with a strict carnivore diet, “dirty” carnivore diet, animal-based diet, omnivore ketogenic diet, vegetarian ketogenic diet, Mediterranean diet, calorie restricted diet, or even a vegan diet, it is not our place to give unsolicited dietary advice. With positive intent, we can certainly reference studies and draw on our own lived experience. I am a qualified nutritionist and have tried different ketogenic diets, but I only share my lived experience - I do not profess to know which diet is most universally applicable in the context of cancer management. There is no data to irrefutably support this yet. So, when I talk about my concerns about the extent to which my overconsumption of animal protein impact growth signals IGF-1 and mTOR - which are upregulated in my own cancer cells - this is about MY situation only. My intention is not to fear-monger and it is absolutely fine to disagree with this. But it is not appropriate to give unsolicited medical advice to other warriors in favour of the dietary approach that aligns with your current views. It is also against our group norms to take my lived experience (or anyone’s lived experience) and use it as a false pretext for attacking my views and taking them out of context.

Here is Dr Casey Peavler's 2026 May 28 Youtube concise survey of this topic in case you have yet to encounter it. There are many prior posts here at Cancer Warriors regarding melatonin fighting cancer to find and read also. I take 1 gram of melatonin every day at noon and I do not have cancer as far as I know other than any new skin cancers to add to the >100 skin cancers (twice receiving chemo) (9 times receiving Mohs surgeries) I have had in the past that occur at a much reduced rate now that I eat a high fat carnivore diet, keep my 1,25 hydroxy D3 at 120 ng/ml blood serum, and melatonin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcAV-PBIBaU
