Success Using Keto Diet Only?
Richa asked if anyone has successfully reduced tumor size using only a ketogenic diet without additional treatments. Multiple members shared personal experiences and nuanced insights:
● Stuart Briscoe reported early tumor regression from ketogenic calorie-restricted (KDR) diet alone, prior to starting Tagrisso or any repurposed drugs. Regression was confirmed by PET/CT and MRI scans.
● Others noted that diet alone may help slow cancer progression or create stability, but full remission is rare without also addressing glutamine and mitochondrial pathways (press/pulse).
● Simon Lown explained that while diet is foundational in Dr. Seyfried’s protocol, it’s not sufficient on its own for most people. Glucose and glutamine must both be targeted to enhance the effectiveness of other interventions.
✅ Supplements & Compounds
Stuart later incorporated:
● Green Tea (EGCG)
● Fenbendazole
● HBOT (40 sessions)
Press-pulse strategies often include:
● Metformin, DCA, Phenylbutyrate, Ivermectin
● EGCG, Cimetidine, Loratadine, Propranolol
● Hydrogen gas therapy (Jason Watson recommendation)
✅ Therapies & Strategies
● KDR (Ketogenic Diet + Calorie Restriction) used as a foundational press strategy
● Fasting, low GKI (<2), and autophagy modulation critical in press phase
● Targeted SBRT radiation used selectively after initial tumor regression
● Potential of hydrogen therapy (e.g., AquaCure AC50) explored to maintain NED
● Individualised protocols may depend on genetics, metabolism, and mutation profile
✅ Lab Testing & Metrics
● SUV values on PET/CT scans monitored over time
● GKI readings (Glucose Ketone Index) used to guide metabolic state
● MRI of full spine with contrast to monitor metastases
● Mention of Exacta 360 test for identifying treatment resistance
✅ Resources & References Shared
● Dr. Seyfried’s Press-Pulse Protocol
● MD Anderson, City of Hope, DART clinical trials
✅ Key Takeaways
● Some cases of tumor regression using keto only exist, but they are rare and likely influenced by multiple co-factors (genetics, timing, immune status).
● Keto is not a cure, but a foundation. Pressing both glucose and glutamine is usually required for measurable regression.
● Seyfried’s protocol is not “just keto” — it integrates multiple therapies, strategic pulsing, and oxygenation.
● Clinical imaging and blood markers (e.g. SUV values, thyroglobulin) are key for measuring progress.
● Community members emphasize caution: diet-only approaches may stabilize, but rarely eliminate cancer — combination strategies are generally needed.
● Support exists even if doctors won’t help. Members suggested consulting canceroptions.co.uk or integrativefunctionalmedicine.com for protocol guidance.
