 The Fallacies of Fats and Carbs

    Coincidentally, Dr. Robert Lustig – another expert on the dangers of high carb diets – was recently interviewed by NPR radio’s Science Friday segment.2 His new book, Fat Chance: Beating the Odds Against Sugar, Processed Food, Obesity, and Disease, tackles the persistent myths about fat that is endangering the health of millions. It’s difficult to know just how many people have suffered poor health because they followed conventional low-fat recommendations, but I’m sure the number is significant.

    The fact is that you’ve been thoroughly misled when it comes to dietary advice. Still today, many doctors, nutritionists, and government health officials will tell you to avoid saturated fat and keep fat consumption to below 10 percent while keeping the bulk of your diet, about 60 percent, as carbs. This is madness, as it’s the converse of a diet that will lead to optimal health. As an example, you’ve probably seen the whole grain label, which is certified by the American Heart Association3 of all things. Do whole grains support heart health? Hardly. The following outtake from the transcript addresses this head on:

        “Flatow: ...there’s something that came out yesterday released from Harvard... and it talks about one of the most widely used industry standards, the wholegrain stamp. [It] actually identified grain products [bearing the stamp] were higher in both sugars and calories than products without the stamp.

        Lustig: Absolutely. And to be honest with you, wholegrain doesn’t mean much... Basically what it means is you start with a whole grain; that is the starch on the inside, the kernel, or the husk or the bran on the outside, and then whatever you want to do with it is perfectly fine. It’s still a whole grain. So if you pulverize it and add sugar to it, hey it’s still a whole grain because that’s what you started with. But you know what? All the benefits you get from whole grain are gone as soon as you pulverize it. So.... what it means is irrelevant because the definition is not helpful.”

Other Lifestyle Factors that Influence Your Cancer Risk

    Other lifestyle factors that have been found to have an impact on chronic disease and cancer include:

        Vitamin D: There's overwhelming evidence pointing to the fact that vitamin D deficiency plays a crucial role in cancer development. You can decrease your risk of cancer by more than half simply by optimizing your vitamin D levels with sun exposure or a safe tanning bed. And, if you are being treated for cancer, it is likely that higher blood levels – probably around 80-90 ng/ml – would be beneficial. To learn the details on how to use vitamin D therapeutically, please review my previous article, Test Values and Treatment for Vitamin D Deficiency. In terms of protecting against cancer, vitamin D has been found to offer protection in a number of ways, including:
            Regulating genetic expression
            Increasing the self-destruction of mutated cells (which, if allowed to replicate, could lead to cancer)
            Reducing the spread and reproduction of cancer cells
            Causing cells to become differentiated (cancer cells often lack differentiation)
            Reducing the growth of new blood vessels from pre-existing ones, which is a step in the transition of dormant tumors turning cancerous
        Getting proper sleep: both in terms of getting enough sleep, and sleeping between certain hours. According to Ayurvedic medicine, the ideal hours for sleep are between 10 pm and 6 am. Modern research has confirmed the value of this recommendation as certain hormonal fluctuations occur throughout the day and night, and if you engage in the appropriate activities during those times, you're 'riding the wave' so to speak, and are able to get the optimal levels. Working against your biology by staying awake when you should ideally be sleeping or vice versa, interferes with these hormonal fluctuations.

        There's a spike of melatonin that occurs between midnight and 1am that you don't want to miss because the consequences are absolutely spectacular. Melatonin is not only a sleep hormone, but it also is a very powerful antioxidant. It decreases the amount of estrogen your body produces, and boosts your immune system. It also interacts with other hormones. So, if you go to bed after 10, it can significantly increase your risk of breast cancer.
        Effectively addressing your stress: The research shows that if you experience a traumatic or highly stressful event, such as a death in the family, your risk of breast cancer is 12 times higher in the ensuing five years. I believe energy psychology tools are ideal to address stressors in your life. My favorite is the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), but there are many others available as well.
        Exercise: If you are like most people, when you think of reducing your risk of cancer, exercise doesn't immediately come to mind. However, there is some fairly compelling evidence that exercise can slash your risk of cancer.

        One of the primary ways exercise lowers your risk for cancer is by reducing elevated insulin levels, which creates a low sugar environment that discourages the growth and spread of cancer cells. Additionally, exercise improves the circulation of immune cells in your blood. Your immune system is your first line of defense against everything from minor illnesses like a cold right up to devastating, life-threatening diseases like cancer.

        The trick about exercise, though, is understanding how to use it as a precise tool. This ensures you are getting enough to achieve the benefit, not too much to cause injury, and the right variety to balance your entire physical structure and maintain strength and flexibility, and aerobic and anaerobic fitness levels. This is why it is helpful to view exercise like a drug that needs to be carefully prescribed to achieve its maximum benefit. For detailed instructions, please see this previous article.

        Additionally it is likely that integrating exercise with intermittent fasting will greatly catalyze the potential of exercise to reduce your risk of cancer and stimulate widespread healing and rejuvenation.

You CAN Beat 'the System'...

    Cancer is the second most lethal disease in the US after heart disease (not counting iatrogenic mortality, aka “death by medicine”). We all know that the war on cancer has been a dismal failure. Tragically, conventional wisdom is blind when it comes to cancer prevention and treatment and hundreds of thousands die prematurely every year as a result. They have little to no appreciation of the concepts discussed in this article. But you don’t have to fall into that trap as you know better and can take control of your health and ability to treat cancer in your own hands.

    The ketogenic diet, which can be summarized as a high-fat, moderate-protein, no-grain-carb diet, has brought many back to health, even after being diagnosed with aggressive cancer, and given no hope of survival. Hopefully, research by the likes of Dr. D’Agostino will become more widely known. Until then, do your own research and take control of your own health, and that of your family.

    Severely limiting sugar/fructose, processed foods of all kinds, sweetened beverages (as well as diet versions), and replacing carbs with healthy fats and high quality protein can do what no medicine can – it can prevent disease from setting in, and may even be the U-turn you’re looking for if you’ve been diagnosed with cancer or other chronic disease. Add to that appropriate sun exposure, sleep, effective stress management, and regular exercise, and you’ll be well ahead of the rest of the population.

Metabolic Therapy/Ketogenic Diet Being Investigated as Cancer Treatment

    CBN News recently published an article on the ketogenic diet.2 Clearly,
many people are realizing that what we have been doing in terms of fighting
cancer is simply not working, and we cannot afford to continue in the same
way. Prevention must be addressed if we ever want to turn the tide on the
growing incidence of cancer across all age groups. But even more astounding,
in terms of treatment, is that cancer may respond to diet alone.

        “Dr. Fred Hatfield is an impressive guy: a power-lifting champion,
author of dozens of books, a millionaire businessman with a beautiful wife.
But he'll tell you his greatest accomplishment is killing his cancer just in
the nick of time,” CBN News writes. "The doctors gave me three months to live
because of widespread metastatic cancer in my skeletal structure," he
recalled. "Three months; three different doctors told me that same thing."

    Dr. Hatfield was preparing to die when he heard of metabolic therapy,
also known as the ketogenic diet. He had nothing to lose so he gave it a try,
and... it worked. The cancer disappeared completely, and at the time of his
interview (above), he’d been cancer-free for over a year.



        “'We have dramatically increased survival with metabolic therapy,'
[Dr. D’Agostino] said. 'So we think it's important to get this information
out.' It's not just lab mice. Dr. D'Agostino has also seen similar success in
people - lots of them. 'I've been in correspondence with a number of people,'
he said. 'At least a dozen over the last year-and-a-half to two years, and
all of them are still alive, despite the odds. So this is very encouraging.'”

How Does Ketogenic Diet Starve Cancer Cells?

    Dr. D’Agostino explains how the ketogenic diet can have such a dramatic
(and rapid) effect on cancer. All of your body’s cells are fueled by glucose.
This includes cancer cells. However, cancer cells have one built-in fatal
flaw – they do not have the metabolic flexibility of your regular cells and
cannot adapt to use ketone bodies for fuel as all your other cells can.

    So, when you alter your diet and become what’s known as “fat-adapted,”
your body starts using fat for fuel rather than carbs. When you switch out
the carbs for healthy fats, you starve the cancer out, as you’re no longer
supplying the necessary fuel – glucose – for their growth. As D’Agostino
explains:

        "Your normal cells have the metabolic flexibility to adapt from using
glucose to using ketone bodies. But cancer cells lack this metabolic
flexibility. So we can exploit that.”

    I’ve previously discussed ways to “starve” cancer, and eliminating
sugar/fructose and grains (ie carbohydrates) is at the very top of the list.
It’s the most basic step without which few other dietary strategies are
likely to succeed. In order to be effective, you must first STOP doing that
which is promoting cancer growth (or poor health in general), and then all
the other preventive strategies have the chance to really have an impact.

What Makes for a Cancer-Fighting Diet?

    Please remember addressing your diet should be at the top of your list.
Naturally, processed foods and soft drinks do not belong in a cancer-
preventive diet, as they are loaded with carbs that turn into fuel for cancer
cells. Carbs also raise your insulin and leptin levels, and keeping your
insulin and leptin signaling healthy is imperative if you want to avoid
chronic disease of all kinds, including cancer.

    Processed foods may also contain trans fat – the only type of fat you
really need to avoid like the plague. They are also loaded with omega-6 fats
which the featured otherwise excellent video failed to mention. Increasing
the omega-6 to omega-3 ratio is another potent way to increase your risk of
cancer cell proliferation.

What About Protein?

    One of my primary mentors in the importance of insulin and leptin, Dr.
Rosedale. was one of the first professionals to advocate both a low-carb and
moderate protein (and therefore high quality fat) diet. This was contrary to
most low-carb advocates who were, and still are, very accepting of, if not
promoting, high protein, as a replacement for the carbs.

    If you or someone you know is challenged with cancer, the healthiest
option may be to replace the carbs with beneficial fats, and limit your
protein to high quality organic/pastured sources only. Dr. Rosedale advises 1
gram of protein per kilogram of lean body mass which for most people will be
about 50 grams of protein a day (or 0.5 grams per pound of lean body weight).
While you can take carbs to very low levels in ketogenic diets, you must have
some protein every day to replace your body’s requirements. The key is to add
healthy fat to replace the carbs and excess protein.

Ketogenic Diet May Be Key to Cancer Recovery

    To some, a ketogenic diet amounts to nothing less than a drug-free cancer
treatment. The diet calls for eliminating carbohydrates, replacing them with
healthy fats and protein.

    The premise is that since cancer cells need glucose to thrive, and
carbohydrates turn into glucose in your body, then cutting out carbs
literally starves the cancer cells.

    This type of diet, in which you replace carbs with moderate amounts of
high quality protein and high amounts of beneficial fat, is what I recommend
for everyone, whether you have cancer or not. It’s simply a diet that will
help optimize your weight and health overall, as eating this way will help
you convert from carb burning mode to fat burning.

Ketogenic Diet May Be Key to Brain Cancer Recovery

    The featured video shows Thomas Seyfried, Ph.D, who is one of the leaders
in teasing the details of how to treat cancer nutritionally. I am scheduled
to interview him shortly and hope to have that interview up later this year.
In the video, Professor Seyfried discusses how, as a metabolic disorder
involving the dysregulation of respiration, malignant brain cancer can be
managed through changes in the metabolic environment.

        “In contrast to normal neurons and glia, which transition to ketone
bodies (beta-hydroxybutyrate) for respiratory energy when glucose levels are
reduced, malignant brain tumors are mostly dependent on non-oxidative
substrate level phosphorylation due to structural and functional
abnormalities in mitochondria. Glucose and glutamine are major fuels for
malignant cancer cells.

        The transition from glucose to ketone bodies as an energy source is
an ancestrally conserved adaptation to food deprivation that permits the
survival of normal cells during extreme shifts in nutritional environment.
Only those cells with a flexible genome, honed through millions of years of
environmental forcing and variability selection, can transition from one
energy state to another.

        We propose a different approach to brain cancer management that
exploits the metabolic flexibility of normal cells at the expense of the
genetically defective and metabolically challenged. This evolutionary and
metabolic approach to brain cancer management is supported from studies in
orthotopic mouse brain tumor models and from case studies in patients.

        Calorie restriction and restricted ketogenic diets (R-KD), which
reduce circulating glucose levels and elevate ketone levels, are anti-
invasive, anti-angiogenic, and pro-apoptotic towards malignant brain
cancer.”1

    Current conventional cancer treatment typically involves chemotherapy and
radiation therapy. Chemotherapy is a cytotoxic poison, and radiation is
devastating to the human body. More often than not, the treatment is what
eventually kills the patient. This can no longer be accepted as “the best we
can do.” As Dr. Seyfried says:

        "The reason why we have so few people surviving is because of the
standard of care. It has to be changed, if it's not changed, there will be no
major progress. Period."

What Constitutes a Healthy Lifestyle?

    That's not an impossible list. The great thing about these behavior changes is that they don't cost extra money to do – and they're almost guaranteed to save you money in the long run. I would add a few things to this list, though. Of all the healthy lifestyle strategies I know of that can have a significant impact on your health, normalizing your insulin and leptin levels is probably the most important.

    There is no question that this is an absolute necessity if you want to avoid disease and slow down your aging process. That means modifying your diet to avoid excessive amounts of fructose, grains, and other pro-inflammatory ingredients like trans fats. In addition to the items mentioned above, these additional strategies can further help you stay healthy:

        Learn how to effectively cope with stress – Stress has a direct impact on inflammation, which in turn underlies many of the chronic diseases that kill people prematurely every day, so developing effective coping mechanisms is a major longevity-promoting factor.

        Meditation, prayer, physical activity and exercise are all viable options that can help you maintain emotional and mental equilibrium. I also strongly believe in using energy psychology tools such as the Emotional Freedom Technique to address deeper, oftentimes hidden emotional problems.
        Optimize Your Vitamin D Levels to between 50 and 70 ng/ml, ideally by exposing enough of your skin to sunshine or a safe tanning bed.
        High-Quality animal-based omega-3 fats – Correcting the ratio of omega-3 to healthful omega-6 fats is a strong factor in helping people live longer. This typically means increasing your intake of animal based omega-3 fats, such as krill oil, while decreasing your intake of damaged omega-6 fats (think trans fats).
        Get most of your antioxidants from foods – Good sources include blueberries, cranberries, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, cherries, beans, and artichokes.
        Use coconut oil – Another excellent anti-aging food is coconut oil, known to reduce your risk of heart disease and Alzheimer's disease, and lower your cholesterol, among other things.
        Avoid as many chemicals, toxins, and pollutants as possible – This includes tossing out your toxic household cleaners, soaps, personal hygiene products, air fresheners, bug sprays, lawn pesticides, and insecticides, just to name a few, and replacing them with non-toxic alternatives.
        Avoid prescription drugs – Pharmaceutical drugs kill thousands of people prematurely every year – as an expected side effect of the action of the drug. And, if you adhere to a healthy lifestyle, you most likely will never need any of them in the first place. However if you are currently taking prescription drugs it is best to work with a trained natural health care professional to help you wean off of them.

Take Control of Your Health

    Incorporating these healthy lifestyle guidelines will help set you squarely on the path to optimal health and give you the best shot at living a longer life. Remember, it's never too late to take control of your health, but the sooner you begin, the greater your long-term payoff.

    When even a minor illness requiring hospitalization may cost you your child’s college tuition fund, and a severe disease like cancer can bankrupt the entire family, taking control of your health and being proactive about staying healthy is not a luxury, it’s essential.

    Clearly, the American health care system is broken and in need of a serious overhaul – NOT in terms of who should pay these padded bills, but rather how can we get a more reasonably priced system that won’t be the leading cause of bankruptcy? At the present rate the current system is unsustainable. However, I suggest you don’t wait for this miracle, and start focusing on simple, inexpensive lifestyle changes that can help prevent some of the most common health problems plaguing the US today.

A New Cottage Industry: Medical-Billing Advocates

    A small grassroots-type industry has emerged as a result of shell-shocked patients reaching out for help to understand their medical bills. Referring to themselves as medical-billing advocates, they help you not only read and understand the content of your bills, but also negotiate with the hospital to reduce the charges. Brill quotes Katalin Goencz, a former appeals coordinator in a hospital billing department who now runs her own medical-billing advocacy business from her home in Stamford:

        “The hospitals all know the bills are fiction, or at least only a place to start the discussion, so you bargain with them.”

    The problem with that, of course, is: what about the people who don’t realize they CAN bargain with a major hospital? And should we really accept “bills of fiction” to begin with? Brill writes:

        “Goencz is part of a trade group called the Alliance of Claim Assistant Professionals, which has about 40 members across the country. Another group, Medical Billing Advocates of America, has about 50 members. Each advocate seems to handle 40 to 70 cases a year for the uninsured and those disputing insurance claims. That would be about 5,000 patients a year out of what must be tens of millions of Americans facing these issues – which may help explain why 60% of the personal bankruptcy filings each year are related to medical bills.”

    Even with the help of a medical-billing advocate (who of course charges a fee for the service), many uninsured patients still overpay. After all, getting a 50 percent discount on a test billed at $200, which should cost $15 is not necessarily a great bargain, although it’s certainly an improvement if we only take fictional numbers into account. The sad thing is, as mentioned earlier, the overcharges are SO grossly inflated that even if you get the bill cut in half, the hospital still makes out like a bandit!

50 Signs US Health Care System is Gigantic Scam About to Collapse

    A recent article lists 50 signs that the US health care system is a gigantic money making scam that is about to collapse.4 This list includes the following amazing statistics:

        This year the American people will spend approximately 2.8 trillion dollars on health care, and it is being projected that Americans will spend 4.5 trillion dollars on health care in 2019
        If the U.S. health care system was a country, it would be the 6th largest economy on the entire planet
        Approximately 60 percent of all personal bankruptcies in the United States are related to medical bills
        The U.S. health care industry has spent more than 5 billion dollars on lobbying our politicians in Washington D.C. since 1998
        The U.S. ambulance industry makes more money each year than the movie industry

    Another factor driving this broken health care system is direct-to-consumer drug advertising. According to FiercePharma,5 the pharmaceutical industry spent $2.7 billion on drug ads for TV, magazines, newspapers, radio and billboards over the past 10 years.

        “The world's largest drug company, Pfizer, tops the list, spending 23 percent of that $2.7 billion on some of its best-selling drugs. In fact, as the data show, it is generally a company's best-selling drugs that get the greatest spends, suggesting that DTC advertising remains very effective.”

Natural is Better, and Less is More

    The U.S. health care system has an awful lot of room for improvement. The United States has the highest infant mortality rate among high income countries, and ranks dead last in terms of life expectancy among 17 affluent nations. You could say wanton greed is killing this nation...

    If throwing money into the system isn’t the answer, then how can we improve the health of Americans? The answer is simpler than most care to admit. I don't think anyone in the medical community disagrees with the idea that changing your lifestyle can go a long way toward "fixing" a number of chronic conditions, such as diabetes. As identified by the NIH,6 five life-changing factors that can do this are:

        Following a healthy diet
        Maintaining an optimal body weight
        Engaging in regular physical activity
        Not smoking
        Keeping alcohol use to no more than one drink per day for women, and two drinks per day for men

    In a Waking Times article from last year,7 Dr. Dennis Antoine discusses the many lifestyle factors contributing to the rise in cancer incidence, and why we have to stop being so foolish as to think we “don’t know” why cancer has become so commonplace. As a group, chemicals play a major role: chemicals in your water, soil, air, in your clothes and in your home, in your household cleaning products and in the lotions and potions you spray and rub onto your skin, and in the vaccines injected into your body.

    He also mentions a few different alternative cancer treatments, such as that by Dr. Max Gerson, who in 1938 discovered he could put cancer patients into remission using vegetables. Alas, there’s ample evidence that the cancer industry is not at all interested in finding cures. Its only interest is finding profitable treatments. Dr. Antoine writes:

        “At this time in history, a bill was appropriated for 100 million dollars to anyone who could show promise and results in treating cancer. Dr Gerson in 1946 presented 5 terminal cases and 5 additional patients’ records showing his effective treatment and cure of all of these cases. Well, guess what? The Pepper-Neely bill was defeated by four senators who were medical doctors. Also of note, radio announcer Raymond Gram Swing who was in the room, was as astonished as any of the others and made a broadcast that night detailing these events and Gerson’s effective treatment. Two 2 weeks later, Swing was fired from his job.”
