    Are you counting down the days until you can retire and
spend your days playing golf, traveling, being with your grandkids
or sipping iced tea from your front porch swing?

    This idealistic image is a common one, but it may be somewhat
unrealistic according to new research that suggests retiring may
have a significantly negative impact on your physical and
emotional health.

Retirement Boosts Your Risk of Depression by 40 Percent

    According to a new report released by the Institute of
Economic Affairs (IEA), following an initial boost in health,
retirement increases your risk of clinical depression by 40
percent while raising your chances of being diagnosed with a
physical condition by 60 percent. It also:

        Reduces your likelihood of being in self-reported
excellent or very good health by 40 percent

        Raises your risk of taking medication for a diagnosed
physical condition by 60 percent

    The study’s author, who called retirement’s impacts on
health drastic, suggested a later retirement age may actually
be preferable, noting:

        New research presented in this paper indicates that
being retired decreases physical, mental and self-assessed
health.The adverse effects increase as the number of years
spent in retirement increases.

Staying Active Is a Key to Good Health in Old Age

    That retirement might increase health problems is not
entirely surprising when you consider that two of the biggest
hurdles facing the elderly are social isolation and inactivity.

    Harvard Professor of Public Policy Lisa Berkman cites
social isolation as a significant factor in longevity. If you're
socially isolated, you may experience poorer health and a
shorter lifespan. This may be, at least in part, because those
who don'thave good social networks may not be able to get
 assistance ifthey become ill.But also, staying socially
connected with those around you keepsyou happy and also
keeps your brain active and challenged.

    Walter Breuning, who lived to be 114, noted that keeping your
mind and body busy was one of the key secrets to staying healthy,
and he was right. But for many, retirement means a sudden loss
of many work-related social ties and a drastic decrease in activity
levels.

    So it’s quite plausible that retirement’s impact on your
health depends on the type of retirement you have. If you end
up sitting at home by yourself instead of interacting with peers
and staying active with hobbies and other pursuits, it’s likely
both your physical and mental health will suffer.

    On the other hand, if your retirement allows you the time to
pursue interests you’ve always wanted to and gives you more time
to spend with friends and family, you’ll probably be happier than
ever. Indeed, some research has, in fact, shown that retirement
is associated with lower risks of depression and fatigue.

    Another factor, of course, is whether or not you enjoy your
work. Someone who loves his or her job will obviously have a
harder time with retirement than someone who dreads going to
work. Even the current study’s author acknowledged the complexities
of studying retirement’s role on health:

        “Most research on the relationship between health and
working in old ae has produced ambiguous results. Research in
this area is inherently difficult because of the fact that, just
as retirement can influence health, health can influence retirement
decisions.

Maintaining Structure and Finding Purpose in Your Day Are Keys
to a Happy Retirement

    Retirement is not much different from losing your job in
that many struggle with a loss of identity and structure. The
key role that may have defined who you are, your purpose and
your daily routine is suddenly no longer there. But keep in mind
that now you are free to develop a new role for yourself in life,
and this can be very freeing and exciting.

    The solution is to maintain some type of structure to your
day. You may not have to set your alarm for 5 a.m. anymore,
but perhaps you’ll make a point to get up at 7 a.m. each day
to get showered and dressed for the day. From there, develop
a newroutine that makes sense for you and that allows you to
fall into a comfortable yet still productive new normal.

    My mom is a great example. She is now 77 but still comes
to work in my office a few times a week. It really provides her
with a sense of purpose and keeps her mentally healthy.

    So make a point to nurture your passions while filling your
days with activity and purpose, whether that be planting a garden,
walking your dog or building model ships. Be sure at least some
of your activities also involve others, such as taking a yoga
class at a nearby gym or connecting with your neighbors. You can
even unretire yourself and get a fun part-time job, such as
working at a baseball stadium, volunteering at the zoo or an
animal shelter, or reading stories to kids at your local library.

    Another aspect to consider? How retirement will change your
relationship with your spouse. If you’re suddenly able to spend
much more time with your spouse than you were before, it can
sometimes lead to tension. Make a point to keep communicating
and sharing your new desires and needs with each other, while
at the same time allowing for alone time.

Americans’ Expectations of Retirement Are Changing

    The days of retiring at the age of 65 are over for many. In
fact, a report by the Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies
found that 56 percent of Americans expect to work past age 65 or
do not plan to retire at all. Further, the majority of workers
(54 percent) plan to work even after they retire. The truth is,
many people are now embracing their older years as some of the
most fulfilling of their lives. Reaching age 65 no longer means
that it’s time to retire to your home and deal with aches and
pains, forgetfulness and loneliness; instead, for many this is a
time for new beginnings.

    Remember your health can actually improve as you age. For
most, this is relatively easy as they were eating the wrong foods
and not exercising most of their lives.

    But even for someone like myself who has paid diligent
attention to these factors, I am constantly revising my health
regimen and now in my late 50s, I believe I am the fittest I have
ever been in my life. I may have been able to run faster when I
was younger but I would never trade that for the muscle strength,
flexibility and knowledge that I have today. You too can achieve
wellness on both physical and mental fronts, and you can do so at
any age, whether you’re retired or not. In fact, in many respects
life only continues to get better as the years go by.

Does Your Urine Smell

Does Your Urine Smell Like Roses?

    If you’re a woman from ancient Rome and your urine smells
like roses, you’ve probably been drinking turpentine. This is a
high price to pay to woo your suitor with pleasant-smelling pee,
as turpentine may kill you! Short of drinking turpentine, there
are many common substances that may alter the way your urine
smells, which is why it’s helpful to know what’s normal. Urine
reflects all of the inner workings of your body and contains a
wide variety of compounds and metabolic by-products. Some dogs
can actually smell cancer in human urine.

    Urine doesn’t typically have a strong smell, but if yours
smells pungent (like ammonia), you could have an infection or
urinary stones, or you may simply be dehydrated. Dehydration
causes your urine to be more concentrated and may have a stronger
 smell than normal, as do high-protein foods like meat and eggs.
Menopause, some sexually transmitted diseases, and certain
metabolic disorders may also increase the ammonia smell. Here
are some of the more common reasons your urine’s odor may change:

        Medications or supplements

        Certain genetic conditions, such as Maple Syrup Urine
Disease, which causes urine to smell sickeningly sweet.

        Certain foods  most notably asparagus. Asparagus is
notorious for causing a foul, eggy or cabbagy stench that results
from a sulfur compound called methyl mercaptan (also found in
garlic and skunk secretions). Only 50 percent of people can smell
asparagus pee because they have the required gene. Cutting off
the tips of asparagus will reportedly prevent the pungent-smelling
pee...but of course, this is the tastiest part!

        Urinary tract infections

        Uncontrolled diabetes is known to cause your urine to
have a seet or fruity or, less commonly, a yeasty smell. In the
past, doctors diagnosed diabetes by pouring urine into sand to
see if it was sweet enough to attract bugs. Other physicians
just dipped a finger in and took a taste. Fortunately, today’s
physicians have access to far more elegant diagnostic tools.

When You Feel the Urge to Go, GO

    Urinary frequency is also important. Peeing six to eight
times per day is average. You might go more or less often than
that, depending on how much water you drink and how active
you are. Increased frequency can be caused by an overactive
bladder (involuntary contractions), caffeine, a urinary tract
infection(UTI), interstitial cystitis, benign prostate enlargement,
diabetes, or one of a handful of neurological diseases.

    It is important to pee when you feel the urge. Delaying
urination can cause bladder overdistension  like overstretching
a Slinky such that it can’t bounce back. You may habitually
postpone urination if you find bathroom breaks inconvenient at
work, or if you have Paruresis (also known as Shy Bladder
Syndrome, Bashful Bladder, Tinkle Terror, or Pee Anxiety), the
fear of urinating in the presence of others. Seven percent of
the public suffers from this condition.

How Much Water Should You Drink?

    I don’t subscribe to the commonly quoted rule of drinking
six to eight glasses of water every day. Your body is capable
of telling you what it needs and when it needs it. Once your
body has lost one to two percent of its total water, your thirst
 mechanism kicks in to let you know it’s time to drink  so
thirst should be your guide. Or course, if you are outside on a hot,
dry day or exercising vigorously, you’ll require more water than
usual  but even then, drinking when you feel thirsty will allow
you to remain hydrated.

    As you age, your thirst mechanism tends to work less
efficiently. Therefore, older adults will want to be sure to
drink water regularly, in sufficient quantity to maintain pale
yellow urine. As long as you aren’t taking riboflavin (vitamin
B2, found in most multivitamins), which turns urine bright
fluorescent yellow, then your urine should be quite pale. If
you have kidney or bladder stones or a urinary tract infection,
increase your water intake accordingly.

You and Your Urinary System

    You should now have a pretty good idea of how important it
is to familiarize yourself with what’s normal for your pee. Urine
is a window into the inner workings of your body and can function
as an early warning system for detecting health problems.

    The most important factor in the overall health of your
urinary tract is drinking plenty of pure, fresh water every day.
Inadequate hydration is the number one risk factor for kidney
stones, as well as being important for preventing UTIs. To
avoid overly frequent bathroom breaks, stay hydrated but not
overhydrated. Drink whenever you're thirsty, but don't feel you
 have to drinkeight glasses of water per day, every day. If you're
getting upduring the night to pee, stop drinking three to four
hours before bedtime.

    Limit your caffeine and alcohol intake, which can irritate
the lining of your bladder. Make sure your diet has plenty of
magnesium, and avoid sugar (including fructose and soda) and
non-fermented soy products due to their oxalate content. Finally,
don't hold it. As soon as you feel the urge to go, go! Delaying
urination is detrimental to the health of your bladder due to
over distension.

What You Can Learn About Your Health by Analyzing the Color and Smell of Your Urine

    Urine can reveal important information about your body’s
waste elimination process, providing clues about your overall
health status.

    Your kidneys serve to filter excess water and water-soluble
wastes out of your blood, getting rid of toxins and things that
would otherwise build up and cause you to become ill. Many
things  from excess protein and sugar to bacteria and yeast
may make their way into your urine.

    Instead of ignoring your urine and dashing back to whatever
important activity having to pee interrupted, take this golden
opportunity to become familiar with your normal.

    If you notice changes in the way your urine looks or smells,
the cause might be something as benign as what you had for dinner
last night, such as beets or asparagus. Or, your astuteness may
potentially alert you to a serious condition.

    If you suspect you have a urinary tract problem, you should
consult your physician. One of the first things he or she is
likely to do is a urine test. Urine tests have been around for
more than 6,000 years1 and are easy, noninvasive tools for
quickly assessing your health status.

Minding Your Pees and Cues

    In your lifetime, your kidneys filter more than one million
gallons of water, enough to fill a small lake. Amazingly, one
kidney can handle the task perfectly well. In fact, if you lose
a kidney, your remaining kidney can increase in size by 50
percent within two months, to take over the job of both.

    Urine is 95 percent water and five percent urea, uric
acid, minerals, salts, enzymes, and various substances that
would cause problems if allowed to accumulate in your body4.
Normal urine is clear and has a straw yellow color, caused by
a bile pigment called urobilin.

    As with your stool, your urine changes color depending on
what foods you eat, what medications and supplements you take,
how much water you drink, how active you are, and the time of
the day.

    But some diseases can also change the color and other characteristics
of your urine, so it’s important to be alertand informed. With so many
variables, you can’t always be sure of what’s causing any particular urine
characteristic, short of laboratory testing. However, urine’s character gives
 you some clues to potential problems that may be developing, giving
you time to do something about it.

    The following chart outlines some of the most common color
variations for urine and their possible origins. The majority
of the time, color changes resulting from foods, medications,
supplements, or simply dehydration. But there are certain signs
that warrant concern.



COLOR           Yellow/Gold

Possible Cause      The most typical urine color, indicative of
                  a healthy urinary tract; yellow will intensify                       
                  depending on hydration; some B vitamins cause
                  bright yellow urine    

Necessary: Action  None

===============================

COLOR           Red/Pink

Possible Cause    Hematuria (fresh blood in the urine) related to                      
                  urinary  tract infection  (UTI), kidney stone,
                  or rarely cancer; consumption of red foods such
                  as beets, blueberries, red food dyes, rhubarb;
                  iron supplements; Pepto-Bismol, Maalox, and a
                  variety of other drugs; classic "port wine"
                  color may indicate porphyria (genetic disorder)

Necessary Action:  Consult your physician immediately if you
                               suspect you have blood in your urine

================================

COLOR              White/Colorless

Possible Cause     Excessive hydration is most likely. (See Cloudy)

Necessary Action:  Consult your physician only if chronic

================================

COLOR              Orange

Possible Cause     Typically a sign of dehydration, showing up
                   earlier than thirst; "holding your bladder"
                   for too long; post-exercise; consuming orange
                   foods (carrots, squash, or food dyes); the
                   drug Pyridium (phenazopyridine); liver or
                   pituitary problem (ADH, or antidiuretic hormone)


Necessary Action:  Drink more water and don’t delay urination;
                   consult physician if orange urine persists
                   despite adequate hydration


================================

COLOR              Amber


Possible Cause     More concentrated than orange so severe
                   dehydration related to intense exercise or
                   heat; excess caffeine or salt; hematuria;
                   decreased urine production (oliguria or
                   anuria); metabolic problem; pituitary problem
                   (ADH, or antidiuretic hormone)

Necessary Action:  Consult your physician if problem persists
                   despite adequate hydration

=================================

COLOR              Brown

Possible Cause     Very dense urine concentration, extreme                             
                   dehydration; consumption of fava beans;
                   melanuria (too many particles in urine); UTI;                        
                   kidney stone; kidney tumor or blood clot;
                   Addison’s disease; glycosuria; renal artery                          
                  stenosis; proteinuria; pituitary problem (ADH,
                   or antidiuretic hormone)

Necessary Action:  Consult your physician if problem persists
                   despite adequate hydration, especially if                           
                   accompanied by pale stools or yellow skin or
                   eyes

==================================

COLOR              Black

Possible Cause     RARE: Alkaptonuria, a genetic disorder of                            
                   phenylalanine and tyrosine metabolism marked
                   by accumulation of homogentisic acid in the
                   blood; poisoning

Necessary Action:  Consult your physician

===================================

COLOR              Green

Possible Cause     RARE: Unusual UTIs and certain foods (such as                        
                             asparagus); excessive vitamins

Necessary Action:  Usually benign; consult your physician if it                         
                   persists, especially if you have pain or
                   burning (dysuria), and/or frequent urination

The Importance of Intermittent Fasting

Good Morning Everyone, I don't do this very often, write
a comment on here. I get some hate mail accusing me of
being a fraud. DEATH & HEALTH, to me, are not issues to
be fraudulent or take lightly.

My main reason for this blog is to inform as many people
as I can, that not only cancer, but a lot of other diseases,
can be and are CURED.

Why wouldn't I be accused of being a fraud. What I'm NOT
saying (Directly) is our medical profession is all about money...NOT
CREATING GOOD HEALTH. That in itself is a real threat.

My main message is: We don't have to be "SICK OR DIE"
because treating diseases verses CURING diseases is 2
different subjects. I AM PROOF that curing works and is
cheaper, less suffering (if any) and available. You can
keep your head in the sand (wanted to say another comment)
or take on a new outlook to living.

Thanks for reading and passing on this blog.

               GOD BLESS

Larry

The Importance of Intermittent Fasting

    In my experience, the vast majority of people are adapted
to burning arbs as their primary fuel, as opposed to burning
fat. One of the most effective strategies I know of to become
a fat burner is to restrict your eating to within a six- to
eight-hour window, which means you’re fasting for about 16-18
hours each day. This upregulates the enzymes that are designed
to burn fat as a fuel, and downregulates the glucose enzymes.
This kind of intermittent fasting plan can be a useful modality
to help you make the transition to a ketogenic diet.

        That’s the way it started in the clinic for children
with epilepsy. Basically, the child is given a 24-hour and
sometimes 48-hour fast  water only. And then the ketogenic
diet is introduced in relatively measured and small amounts,
Dr. Seyfried says.

        Your body transitions naturally that way. Intermittent
fasting is actually a very strong component of the approach.
A three-day fast is uncomfortable, but it’s certainly doable. It
gets your body into a new metabolic state, and then you can
apply these therapies. The hardest part, I think, of this fasting
is the first three to four days, depending on the individual and
how many times they’ve done this.

        That’s basically trying to break your addiction to
glucose. The removal of glucose from the brain elicits the same
kind of problems or events as you would if you were addicted to
drugs, alcohol, or something like this. You get malaise,
headaches, nausea, lightheadedness. You get all the kinds of
physiological effects that you would get from withdrawal of any
addicting substance. I look at glucose as an addictive substance.It’s
an addictive metabolite. Your brain is comforted by having glucose;
your body is comforted. And when you break that glucose addiction,
you have these particular feelings.

        ... Fasting certainly has remarkable health benefits to
the body: strengthening the mitochondria network system within
the cells of your body. As long as the mitochondria of your
cells remain healthy and functional, it’s very unlikely that
cancer can develop under these particular states.

    Unless you have a very serious disease, I believe it is
best for most people to implement intermittent fasting slowly
over six to eight weeks rather than a three-day complete fast.
You begin by not eating for three hours before you go to bed,
and then gradually extend the time you eat breakfast until you
have skipped breakfast entirely and your first meal of the day
is at lunch time. Of course, you are only consuming non-starchy
vegetables for carbs, low to moderate protein and high-quality
fats. One of the things I’ve noticed is that once you’ve made
the transition from burning carbs to burning fat as your primary
fuel, the desire for junk foods and sugar just disappears like
magic.

The Potential Role of Protein in Cancer Formation

    Glutamine--one of the most common amino acids found in
proteins is another interesting aspect of cancer that Dr.
Seyfried is still investigating. In his opinion, most
oncologists who do cancer metabolism recognize that sugar
(both glucose and fructose) is the prime fuel for driving tumor
growth. However, mounting research also indicates that glucose
and glutamine together act powerfully and synergistically on the
growth of tumor cells.

        These two fuels work together in concert to provide a
continual growth, he says.

    One of my early mentors was Dr. Ron Rosedale. He taught me,
about 20 years ago, about the importance of insulin control and
then, more recently, about the importance of reducing protein
intake, for this very reason. Most Americans likely eat far more
protein than they really need, and this excess could be a factor
in cancer. The Paleo approach makes sense on many levels,
especially with regards to intermittent fasting and lowering
your glucose levels. The Paleo approach is very clear about
reducing grains and any food that raises your blood sugar. But
there are, of course, two other macronutrients left: fat and
protein.

    Many Paleo followers are overly concerned about getting high
amounts of protein, which could increase your glutamine and
branched chained amino acid levels, which in turn tend to
activate mTOR. In some, that could be problematic. According to
Dr. Rosedale’s research, the pathway known as the mammalian
target of rapamycin (mTOR), is controlled by lowering your
protein intake. This pathway may be another metabolic pathway
that helps control and prevent cancer growth.

Calorie Restriction Is a Key Part of the Equation

    Dr. Seyfried, however, is more cautious in his evaluation
of mTOR and reducing protein for cancer prevention. In his view,
the most important aspect of cancer prevention and treatment is
the intermittent fasting, or overall calorie restriction, which
includes eating less of everything, period. But while
calories from carbohydrates should be virtually eliminated,
calories from protein just need to be reduced, while most need
to increase their intake of healthful fats to get a more ideal
ratio of fat to protein. As far as the specific types of fats
recommended, Dr. Seyfried uses medium-chain triglycerides,
i.e. coconut oil, butter, macadamia nuts, and other types of
saturated fats, which is what I’ve long recommended as well.
The saturated fats are converted to ketones much more readily than
polyunsaturated fats, he explains.

    So, keep in mind that for cancer prevention and treatment,
the actual calorie restriction is an important part of the
equation:

        We did some studies on this with our model of glioma...
The mTOR in our model was not dramatically changed by these
metabolic therapies. But I know others have reported it, and
this could be an important component for certain other kinds
of cancers. But my limited work with this did not demonstrate this
to be a major issue, at least in the glioma model that we
looked at. We showed that you could give animals a high-fat,
low-protein diet, as much as they want (zero carbs in this diet),
and their blood glucose was just as high or higher than the mice
that were eating the protein-carb diet.

        It was more or less related to the total consumption of calories.
Most calories boil down to glucose. Proteins will be metabolized to
glucose. Carbs are metabolized to glucose; fatsare not... We don’t get
any therapeutic benefit either inepilepsy or cancer when we allow
the animals or people to eat so much of these high-fat diets as they
want. We get no therapeutic benefit.

        Therapeutic benefit comes from the restriction of the
calories in the diet. The ketogenic diet or a low-carb, low-
protein diet is simply a way to take the sting out of a
therapeutic fast. Because as long as the glucose and ketones
can get into the metabolic range (and you can do it with eating
small amounts of a high-fat diet rather than therapeutic
fasting), then that just makes people feel a little better about
how they’re doing this rather than feeling that I’m starving
to death.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

    I recently interviewed Dr. D’Agostino who is another cancer
as a metabolic disease researcher. He published a recent paper
that shows a phenomenal synergy with a ketogenic diet and the
use of hyperbaric oxygen for cancers that have metastasized.
These types of cancers are notoriously difficult to treat. I
would strongly encourage anyone struggling with this challenge
to consider this type of therapy.

    Dr. Seyfried has developed a process called metabolic control
analysis, hich essentially analyzes the metabolic flux through
different pathways that occurs when you transition your body from
one major fuel source to another major fuel source, to maintain
energy homeostasis in your body. Many believe or are under the
impression that cancer is primarily a genetic disease, but Dr.
Seyfried dispels such notions.

        We’re not going to make major advances in the management
of cancer until it becomes recognized as a metabolic disease.
But in order to do that, you have to present a massive
counterargument against the gene theory of cancer, he says.

        One of the key issues here is that if you transplant
the nucleus of a cancer cell into a normal cell, you don’t get
cancer cells. You can actually get normal tissues and sometimes
a whole normal organism from the nucleus of a cancer cell. Now,
if the tumors are being driven by driver genes all these kinds
of mutations and things that we hear about how is it possible
that all of this is changed when you place this cancer nucleus
into the cytoplasm of a cell with normal mitochondria?

        The gene theory cannot address this. It clearly argues
strongly against the concept that genes are driving this
process. Actually, a very few people inherit genes that
predispose them to cancer. Most people inherit genes that
prevent cancer. And those few genes that are inherited the germ line
like the BRCA1 mutations, B53, and a few other very rare cancers
these inherited mutations appear to disrupt the function of the
mitochondria.

    According to Dr. Seyfried, the mitochondria—the main power
generators in your cells—are the central point in the origin
of most cancers. Your mitochondria can be damaged not only by
inherited mutations, thereby increasing your risk for a
particular type of cancer, such as the BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations
that increase your risk of breast and ovarian cancer. They can
also be damaged by environmental factors, such as toxins and
radiation, both ionizing and non-ionizing. Over time, damage
to your mitochondria can lead to dysfunction and tumor formation.

        It’s ultimately a disease of the mitochondrial energy
metabolism, which is the origin of the disease, Dr. Seyfried
says. Once the mitochondria become dysfunctional or insufficient
in ability, mutations will occur. The drugs that have been
developed based on the genome projects have been largely
ineffective in providing long-term care and are associated with
toxic effects. As long as the field continues to focus on that
part of the disease, which is a downstream epiphenomenon, there
will be no major advances in the field simply because that’s not
the relevant aspect of the disease.

Sugar Is the Primary Fuel for Most Cancers

    Controlling your blood-glucose leptin and insulin levels
through diet, exercise and emotional stress relief can be one
of the most crucial components to a cancer recovery program.
These factors are also crucial in order to prevent cancer in
the first place.In 1931, the Nobel Prize was awarded to German
researcher Dr. Otto Warburg, who discovered that cancer cells
have a fundamentally different energy metabolism compared to
healthy cells, and that malignant tumors tend to feed on sugar.
More recently, researchers discovered that while cancer cells
feed on both glucose and fructose, pancreatic tumor cells use
fructose specifically to divide and proliferate.

    Dr. Seyfried’s work confirms that sugar is the primary fuel
for cancer, and that by restricting sugar and providing an
alternate fuel, namely fat, you can dramatically reduce the
rate of growth of cancer.

He explains:
        When we’re dealing with glucose and [cancer] management,
we know from a large number of studies that if respiration of
the tumor is neffective, in order to survive, the cells must use
an alternative source of energy, which is fermentation. We know
that glucose is the primary fuel for fermentation. Fermentation
becomes a primary energy-generating process in the tumor cell.
By targeting the fuel for that process, we then have the
capability of potentially managing the disease.

    The strategy Dr. Seyfried suggests is a low-carb, low to
moderate protein, high-fat diet, which will effectively lower
your blood sugar. This is an easily measurable parameter that
you can check using a diabetic blood glucose meter. This type
of diet, called a ketogenic diet, will also elevate ketone
bodies, as fat is metabolized to ketones that your body can
burn in the absence of food. When combined with calorie
restriction, the end result will put your body in a metabolic
state that is inhospitable to cancer cells.

        Ketones is a fat breakdown product that can replace
glucose as a major fuel for many of the organs and especially
our brain, he says.

    Tumor cells, however, cannot use ketone bodies because of
their respiratory insufficiency. So the ketogenic diet represents
an elegant, non-toxic way to target and marginalize tumor cells.
It also allows you to dramatically lower your glucose levels,
as the ketones will protect your body against any hypoglycemia
that might otherwise be induced by carb restriction.

        All of the newer cells in your body will be transitioned
to these effective ketones, thereby preventing them from damage
from hypoglycemia. At the same time, the tumor cells are now
marginalized and under tremendous metabolic stress. It’s a whole
body therapy you need to bring the whole body into this metabolic
state, he explains.

        We like to call it a new state of metabolic homeostasis:
a state where ketones have reached the steady state level in
your blood and glucose has reached a steady lower level in your
blood...If it’s done right and implemented right, it has powerful
therapeutic benefits on the majority of people who suffer from
various kinds of cancers. Because all cancers have primarily
the same metabolic defect.

For Cancer Protection, Reverse Your Glucose to Ketone Ratios

    Dr. Seyfrieduses ketones and glucose as the measures of
this new metabolic state. The parameters associated with an
ideal state are ketone levels equal to or higher than the
glucose level in your blood.

        There’s a high ratio of glucose to ketones. But in a
fasted or therapeutic state, this ratio is actually reversed.
Ketones can actually become higher than glucose, he says. What
they can do is they can get their blood sugars down to 2.5 to
3 millimolar [equivalent to about 55-65 mg/dl], and then their
ketones to up to 3 or 4 millimolar, where the ratio is now
reversed. It’s this state that now brings the body into this
new physiology.

    You can easily check your glucose levels at home, you’d
need to work with a doctor to measure ketone levels in your
blood. Generally speaking, a fasting glucose under 100 mg/dl
suggests that you're not insulin resistant, while a level
between 100-125 suggests you're either mildly insulin resistant
or pre-diabetic. Here, Dr. Seyfried recommends getting your
glucose down to a steady level of about 55-65 mg/dl, which is
about HALF of what’s conventionally considered good or normal.

    Blood ketones can be easily measured using the Medisense
Precision Xtra blood glucose and ketone monitor from Abbot
Laboratory. As many pharmacies might not stock the meter (bar
code #, 93815 80347), it might be necessary to call Abbott directly
(1-800-527 3339) to obtain the meter. According to Dr. Seyfried,
the Precision Xtra seems the most accurate of all the ones
he’s used.

    It is important to mention, however, that the blood ketone
strips are more expensive than the blood glucose strips. Dr.
Seyfried therefore recommends measuring your blood ketones every
few days rather than 3x/day for blood glucose. Although urine
ketone measurement is a cheap way to assess ketones, urine ketone
levels are not always indicative of blood ketone levels. It is
best if you can measure ketones from both blood and urine.

        I work with nutritionists and physicians, Dr. Seyfried
says. The problem with cancer patients is that many of the
practitioners are unfamiliar with this whole approach, so there’s
this tremendous gap.

We have knowledge of how to do this. We have patients willing
to do it. But we lack professionals that are trained or even
understand the concepts of how to implement these kinds of
approaches.

    All of the guidelines are included in Dr. Seyfried’s book,
Cancer as Metabolic Disease, which is available on Amazon. He’s
also published a couple of papers 1,2 that outline the
guidelines and treatment strategies for cancer patients. One
caveat to consider is your use of medications, as you need to
know what the adverse effects might be if you use a medication
at a particular dosage along with this kind of metabolic therapy.
