Keto for Cancer: Ketogenic Metabolic Therapy as a Targeted Nutritional Strategy

Would have liked clarity of the strategy up front. Warning that if British hospitals see ketones above 3 let alone 7 they want you in hospital on a drip!

This is a great book, and will be vital for many people as more and more realize dietary adjustments will complement and improve (if not replace) other interventions to treat cancer. The author details in fair depth "the metabolic approach to cancer" that was initiated by Otto Warburg nearly a century ago and has been revitalized by Thomas Seyfried.Put simply, modern humans are filling their tanks both with too much fuel and with different fuels at the wrong proportions (per evolutionary tuning). Our engines are strained, and this excessive and imbalanced intake can feed cancers. We can try to limit that by 1) restricting calories and 2) restricting carbs and proteins (that fuel cancer). That means a diet based on healthy fats, which can fuel normal cells but do not fuel the explosive growth of cancer tumors. The book goes into great detail about how to pursue this anti-cancer diet.A few thoughts on what I might like to see in the next edition:1) A little more discussion on fasting, especially of duration longer than 2-3 days. All "extended fasting" is dismissed with a sentence, but there must be some room to talk about potential benefits (and harms) of fasting for periods longer than 3 days but shorter than, say, 30 days.Similarly, there is a great appendix of resources that are listed under various headings but there is no heading for "fasting." If the coverage of therapeutic fasting isn't expanded in the actual text of the book, it would at least be helpful to give a comprehensive list of the best current resources on science-based fasting. A comprehensive approach to metabolic healing should thoroughly investigate and discuss potential benefits of NOT eating as well as of ketogenic eating.2) A little more clarity in the discussion on glutamine in foods. We know it is in animal protein (and obviously in glutamine supplements), but it is an amino acid that is in all kinds of things. If it plays a major role in feeding cancer, don't we want to try to limit it more greatly? I remain confused about the fact that keto staples like nuts and cruciferous vegetables ALSO have lots of glutamine. Do we try to restrict dietary glutamine, or not? If so, how?It would seem that rather than just a low protein ketogenic diet, what we really want would be a low glutamine ketogenic diet. Am I missing something?But other than that, 98 out of 100 still equals an A+ for this book!

Explica muy detalladamente todos los aspectos para la intervención nutricional dirigida al paciente con Cáncer

J’avais déjà lu le livre de Thomas Seyfried sur le même sujet, son livre est une mine d’informaRions médicales mais en pratique quotidienne il a fallu celui de Miriam kalamian, certes le livre est en anglais mais pas de traduction à ce jour, il est indispensable, elle y expose la Diet Keto et cancer sous tous ses angles, l'aspect Pratique n’est pas négligé avec des idées menus, comment gérer les écarts, le sport, des réflexions sur les antioxydants et la fameuse question sur protéines et la glutamine.

Well made, smells nice
