PREVAIL against deadly brain cancer with this ‘menu hack’
It’s one of the DEADLIEST forms of brain cancer…
And it’s what TOOK DOWN Senator John McCain… a tougher-than-nails war hero… just over a year after his diagnosis.
I’m talking about glioblastoma…
A cancer that has DEFIED conventional care… and KILLED more patients than it’s SPARED.
It’s one of the most INVASIVE types of cancer out there…
So you might THINK it means you’ve got one foot in the grave (and the other on a banana peel).
But brand-new research may cast some light on this DARK diagnosis.
Because it turns out that a well-established approach to eating could SLAM THE BRAKES on glioblastoma.
I’m not talking about a “fad” diet… or a diet scam…
But a metabolic strategy to DEPRIVE brain tumors of the fuel that allows them to grow and spread!
When the cards are stacked against you
I’m talking about the keto diet.
“Going keto” focuses on consuming low-carb, high-fat foods to FORCE your body to use an alternate type of energy source known as “ketones.”
Think fatty fish… “riced” cauliflower… avocado… eggs… and cheese.
It offers a myriad of PROVEN health benefits — including EASING anxiety.
But a recent case study reveals how a ketogenic diet can slow the progression of this particularly AGGRESSIVE type of brain cancer.
You see, glioblastoma ATTACKS the glial cells in the brain…
And no matter where it starts, it SPREADS quickly.
Survival rates are ABYSMAL…
And modern medicine has FAILED to improve them over the course of the last 40 years.
But one glioblastoma patient has OUTLIVED all expectations.
His secret?
Achieving ketosis… and maintaining a glucose ketone index (GKI) near or below 2.0.
Now, you might think that this was just a coincidence…
But this patient had REFUSED all conventional treatments for his cancer.
And while he adhered to the keto diet as STRICTLY as he could… his tumor growth STALLED.
Here’s the kicker…
When he loosened up on his eating habits… his cancer began to PROGRESS.
But tightening the reins on his ketogenic metabolic therapy helped bring his disease to a screeching halt once again.
This patient was first diagnosed in 2014. It’s been 7 years… and he’s still alive.
Compare that to other glioblastoma patients… who don’t last longer than 15 months.
And he’s not the only one.
For instance, another glioblastoma patient has embarked on a keto diet… in combination with other alternative therapies… and has already survived 2 years…
With evidence that his tumor actually SHRANK during that time!
Now, these are case studies… and not clinical trials.
But this shows how the keto diet can STARVE tumors of glucose…
And put certain metabolic pathways… ones that glioblastoma NEEDS to grow… in a CHOKEHOLD.
Because cancer cells CAN’T survive on ketones… but your healthy cells CAN!
Now, the keto diet can be a little complicated and confusing to follow…
But fortunately, plenty of online tutorials and even books can help guide you through it.
A word of caution…
All the new packaged foods that are labeled “keto” may TECHNICALLY have the correct nutritional profile for the keto diet…
But they’re LOADED with preservatives, flavorings, and other additives that could do more harm than good.
Instead, choose organic and/or non-GMO fresh foods when you can.
One more thing…
Choosing to follow the keto diet after a cancer diagnosis isn’t an “either/or” decision. You can COMBINE keto with what your conventional cancer doc offers you.
In fact, some research out of the University of Cincinnati shows that going keto can help ENHANCE radiation treatment in brain tumors.
