    If cancer is a metabolic disease that happens related to dis-regulation of mitochondrial ATP production that become anaerobic, I wonder what benefit red light therapy might add to the overall treatment plan? It's interesting to note that people that live in sunny areas experience less cancers but for skin cancer of course. Specific wave lengths of light penetrate deeply and (supposedly) improve mitochondrial function. Dr. Roger Seheult at MedCram has done extensive discussion on that topic. You can find his YT channel easily.

      DON therapy. He uses low glucose, low glutamine. Glucose is lowered through diet, glutamine through Don. You will need a functional doctor to coordinate. There is an organization called Hippocrates research foundation ( something like that) that follows this protocol..at no cost to patient.. but can’t take everyone.

      Ketogenic diet leads to the normalization of lepin signalling.If these rodents are overeating something is fundamentally wrong with their diet.
      Personally, I don't believe "calories" are the cause here but a symptom os something being wrong with that diet.
      Usually higher glucose levels will lead to higher insulin levels which will shut down ketogenesis.
      On the other hand, high ketones leves will shut down gluconeogenesis.
      That both, ketones and glucose are high - reportedly in this case - shows that something is going really wrong here...

      No, he's not saying that. It's just that it has been shown that calorie restriction provides added benefit to starving the cancer cells, in addition to pushing the glucose level down with ketogenic diet, I remember Seyfried talking about this. So calorie restricted keto seems to work even better than normal keto in fighting cancer.

      He’s saying you want to be in ketosis on a therapeutic level, not just on the level where you’re able to lose weight or reverse insulin resistance. You want glucose to stay low and you want there to be a therapeutic level of ketosis, so you want the GKI as low as possible (therapeutic GKI is considered 3 or under). You also want to shift from sugar burner to fat burner and stay a fat burner consistently, as it is more effective.

      Keto is just stage 1. Stage 2 is blocking alternate cancer fuel source glutamine at the cellular level. That is the tricky part. The main drugs Dr. Seyfired proposes for stage 2 are currently only available in a research setting. More easily available means of inhibiting glutamine uptake are being investigated by others.

Press/pulse is 'press' or restrict glucose with steady state ketosis and 'pulse' glutamine with intermittent use of special glutamine blocking drugs. Blocking glutamine can only be done at the cellular level because the body makes it's own glutamine from other nutrients.
