Breakthrough Cancer Treatment using Keto Diet with Dr. Thomas N. Seyfried (Boston College):

Dr. Thomas N. Seyfried:

18:35 - "The DNA mutations are the effect of the cancer, NOT the cause of the cancer."
19:11 - "Very few Physicians even understand this, they've never been trained to look at cancer as something other than what the system tells them what it is. So we don't have trained personnel, we have institutions that say it's a genetic disease. We have the whole system set up for revenue generation to treat cancer as a genetic disease."
3:53 - "We're seeing really remarkable effects with calorie restriction in metabolic therapy. Where our research and that of many others have shown that these tumor cells cannot live very long without the sugar, glucose, or the amino acid, glutamine. Otto Warburg knew glucose was the prime fuel for cancer but he knew nothing about the glutamine issue. And he also did not know about what we call now the third form of energy for cancer, that's amino acid fermentation based on the amino acid glutamine. So we can clear up a lot of the mystery and a lot of the problems that Warburg had and bring the entire cancer field back onto the right track where it should have been 70 or 80 years ago. As you can see, we have not made any major progress in reducing the death rates for cancer, mainly because the theory under which the disease is viewed is incorrect. It's not a genetic disease, it's a mitochondrial metabolic disease. Once you realize that, the treatments and the lives and success will be greatly improved."
5:47 - "For cancer it becomes very, very clear the tumor cell can't live without the glucose, but they can use ketone bodies or fatty acids as an alternative to glucose. That's one of our big contributions to the cancer field. There's another fermentable fuel, a fuel that can provide energy without oxygen and that's the amino acid glutamine, which is the most abundant amino acid in our bodies. So how do you target glutamine without harming the rest of the body? That's why we develop the Press Pulse Therapeutic Strategy. So the most likely and successful management would be to restrict the two fermentable fuels (glucose and glutamine) while transitioning the entire body over to non-fermentable fuels (ketones from fats) which all of our normal cells can use quite effectively."
