Here’s a short write-up you can use: Cancer is one of the most dangerous illnesses affecting people across the world. It does not discriminate by age, race, or status, and it often arrives quietly, growing in the body before signs are noticed. Many people living with cancer endure intense physical pain, emotional stress, and fear of the unknown. Families and loved ones also suffer, watching someone they care about fight a battle they cannot fight for them. What makes cancer especially dangerous is how fast it can spread if not detected early. It attacks the body’s cells, weakening vital organs and making everyday life difficult. Treatments like chemotherapy and radiation are harsh, often leaving patients exhausted and vulnerable, yet they continue to fight with courage and hope. Despite its danger, cancer has also shown the strength of the human spirit. Many survivors stand as proof that early detection, medical care, and strong support can save lives. This is why awareness, regular health checks, and compassion for those affected are so important. Cancer is deadly, but with knowledge, care, and unity, it can be confronted.

Hi all, this is a great lecture by the highly intelligent and humble Dr Tomas Duraj - a research partner of Prof. Seyfried who kindly wrote the foreword for my book. Obviously Prof. Seyfried is the GOAT, but I find Dr Duraj’s presentations about metabolic therapy and in particular his explanation of OXPHOS and AMPK much easier to digest.

Is there anything in blocking Lactate and succinct anti-porters? MCT1, MCT2 and OAT lower he acidic Tumour microenvironment? Yes ketone uptake will also be lowered but MCT4 is still there. We spend our time trying to find inhibitiors of glucose and glutamine but what if we could jam up the cell with lactate and succinate? Would that send the cell towards apoptosis due to the ph drop?

Unfortunately last year I was not able to persuade my wife to try any metabolic approaches, or talk to anyone who advocates them. People will die before changing their habits. She insisted on going the conventional route with the oncologists at Fred Hutch here in Seattle. Her cancer kept progressing slowly, on top of the side effects from the "standard of care" treatment. Her suffering has grown worse and she may succumb or choose "Death With Dignity" within the next few months. We have two daughters, 14 and 16, who are very attached to her. The three of them are like peas in a pod. I have some practical questions, such as whether to keep living in the same place, whether to keep all her stuff (she's a packrat), whether to travel and meet other relatives they haven't seen for a long time. I'd like to hear just from people who've been through something like this.

His YouTube title: Ketosis (Fasting/Ketogenic Diet) accelerates Cancer Growth - New Study. If not, he must be living under a rock if he doesn't know about Prof Seyfried, Dr. Dominic D'Agostino, and many reputable researchers who understand the science behind the ketogenic diet. In a time when C patients are fighting for their lives and searching for hope in ketogenic diet and other metabolic therapies, does this YouTuber muddy the waters even more? 😔 Patients deserve clarity, not confusion. BUT... the good thing is that in the comment section, some folks in the know have pushed back on his narrative. As a follower of Prof Seyfried’s metabolic principle, I gave this YouTuber a thumbs down. What is your take? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joa0zk8sb1E&t=161s
