My mom was diagnosed a month ago with cancer. She’s 83 and the oncologist told her to get her affairs in order. She wouldn’t have more that 6 months to a year. As soon as I got her home from the hospital I told her everything she was eating so was I. We’ve gone completely organic and are doing protein, healthy fats and lots of leafy green vegetables. We’ve also started a treatment called a Hocatt. It’s infrared sauna and ozone and a few other modalities. She will also be starting high dose vitamin C infusion and is taking lots of turmeric and ginger. With God’s blessing she will be here for at least 6 more years. For everyone battling cancer, I pray you find a way to beat it.
@@earthflute2248 what's wrong with veggies ..lots of good studies on cruciferous veggies and broccoli sprouts and cabbage and cauliflower and greens and garlic and onions and radishes etc for cancer.
I have stage 4. I started about 9 months ago a keto/carnivore diet. I have another CT in 3 weeks. Last one 6 months ago showed a .5 cm loss in the largest tumor. I am hoping this one will be also good. My doc said last time was a error in reading. I found a medical center near me that has a Hyperbaric chamber. I may be able to get that also. One day at a time. My ketones has been pretty good now for the last couple months.
And cancer does not die easy. Weeks of vomiting and pain, then big improvements in stages until three years later I am completely symptom-free and have never been in better health at age 65 -- and I'm still doing keto! Thanks, Dr. Boz.
@@emmanuelking9988 No, my belief is that doctors are useful for young people until they learn the limits of the medical arts and commit to taking care of themselves. I had recurrent bleeding from my bowels -- bright red along with mucus -- for ten years, becoming more frequent, but no pain to speak of and I was too busy to worry about it much. Then in September 2018 my dentist told me to quit smoking my tobacco pipe, and after a week of eating as a substitute, I hit on keto as a solution to help becoming tobacco-free. Within a week of keto, my upper colon went into full revolt with excruciating pain and daily vomiting. I laid in bed for a week with a heating pad pressed into the pain, and after that it improved steadily but hurt a lot until one day three months later, I passed a handful of dead tissue like casings and felt immediately better -- incredible relief up to 80 percent all better. I took a photo. Then on and off mild discomfort now and then for the next several months, but not nearly as bad. I knew what it was -- the cancer was dying, and it didn't want to die easy. Stuck to keto religiously, testing with urine strips but just staying in low ketosis -- under 20 carbs a day but not stringent -- comfortable and easy, but certainly in ketosis. No extreme supplements or additives, just plain keto eating. Got steadily better until my health got really, really good in the Fall of 2020 and has stayed that way -- just perfect and wonderful, plenty of energy and stamina and concentration and great sleep. No, I don't do doctors because I believe we must learn our own bodies -- so many variables, emotions, attitudes, spiritual beliefs, varied food availability. I grow vegetables in greenhouses and ate my weight in kale before starting keto, but keto is the only way, nothing else comes close. I'm a true believer today. Dr. Boz was my guiding light -- I was so sick and she was so friendly that I could listen to her UA-cam videos and feel better. It made me laugh when she was hitting the scobie brew because I'm A.A. (34 years now) and cannot do the liquor relief I notice so many keto people doing! My theory is that we have for eons hunted meat and need to have energy and focus to go get more when our supply runs low, while precious grains are for feeding to chickens and cows. That's my theory, and I'm sticking to it. Thanks for the opportunity to share. Oh, also, I wore knee braces for 30 years -- football/housemaid's knees -- and within the first 10 weeks of keto, my knees completely healed and have stayed healed. That to me is such a miracle! Since my 20's, I haven't been able to walk without knee braces. It's astonishing to this day.
@@northamerican287 Cancer is not a "disease" but the result of healing that doesn't stop. In the 60's they tried to figure out how many different kinds of cancer there are, and discovered that every tissue has within it a "cancer" gene. During World War One, they found on autopsy that soldiers who had been exposed to mustard gas had 50% less lung cancer than those who hadn't breathed any mustard gas, and that's where they came up with mustard-based chemotherapy. The reason it works sometimes is that it shocks the system enough to "reset" the healing genes -- to re-injure them enough that they think it's the original injury that started the cancer in the first place and stop trying to heal. That's why taking a trip to Mexico for a miracle cure sometimes works -- the trip itself is so distressful that it works like chemo. Also, colds and flu viruses kill weakened cells, cleaning out all the pre-cancerous tissue, so are you surprised that the medical industry wants to eliminate cold and flu viruses so they can "treat" more cancer patients? Dr. Boz proves that cancer cells can be starved out with keto, but it takes time -- years even -- and so the solution is to concentrate on being healthy, not thinking of eradicating "disease." Make sense?
@@HistoryAnonymous Thank you so much for taking the time to respond and answer my questions, truly appreciate it 🙏 I was absolutely blown away of your health healing story, it is truly amazing and very inspiring. I am of the same belief as you, where I 100% believe real & healthy foods can assist the body to heal itself and your story confirmed it! 🙌 I started Keto a year ago due to developing type 2 diabetes and Keto got me out of diabetic range but now I found I have a bone tumor (not sure if it's malignant yet)...can-cer or not, I want to treat the tumor naturally and reading your story just gave me so much HOPE and huge motivation to stick with Keto. May I ask...what foods did you mainly eat on Keto? Did you consume dairy? Did you consume animal meats? What vegetables did you eat? Any specific teas 🍵? Did you consume Keto friendly sweeteners? My apologies for all the questions...just want to learn what worked for you and perhaps it can help me, thank you very much in advance again 🙏
@@emmanuelking9988 Okay, here's a hint: cancer often begins with a crushing injury, often from our younger years, then it comes out later. When they clone animals, they bring a cell to the point of death and inject DNA into it -- so it replicates. The point of keto is to streamline our metabolism to the point of autophagy so the body feeds on our weak or damaged cells while we are feeding the healthy cells. It's not supposed to be painful at all after the cancer is consumed. Keto for me is easy now. It's very natural and logical. Big portions of fat -- sour cream, heavy cream, butter and lard -- but no seed oils, and I don't do olive oil, either. Just dairy and animal fats. I eat substantial portions of animal meat and eggs and fish, and I buy big sacks of raw almonds and eat a couple handfuls at at a time, until I'm satiated, sometimes with my meal. And I eat peanut butter. I make "crackerbread" by mixing a cup of coconut flour with a cup of brown flax meal with a third cup of peanut butter, mix in 2/3 cup of water and let it sit for an hour, press it into a cookie sheet with parchment paper and bake 12 minutes at 350 degrees. Cool on rack, cut into six squares and refrigerate. This can be toasted or eaten plain. I always bake a double recipe. I eat canned vegetables from the food banks that the Mormons give me. I eat all kinds of veggies, but I don't buy avocados because they're too expensive. Potatoes and squash and corn are too starchy, so just a little sometimes. I add collagen when I can. I drink coffee all day with half-n-half and heavy cream. I don't use any sweeteners any more. Hint: at first when the cancer was dying, anything helps -- chewing gum, electrolytes, sweeteners, anything to ease the suffering. But just stay in ketosis. Get urine strips and use them. But please don't suffer with this! Keto is a good thing, a natural state to be in. I don't think more than just a little bit into ketosis is helpful, like plants can't use more than a few hours of sun and use a limited amount of water, and babies only grow a certain amount each day, and we only sleep 8 hours, not 14. See that? Nature has limits, and it's a steady road, not a race. Get happy -- find something you like to do and do it. Nature is sensible and good. Oh, I also buy 55-pound sacks of powdered milk and make Bulgarian yogurt in a couple gallon plastic buckets sitting on a seed-sprouting mat, with them covered in a plastic tablecloth to keep in the heat. Takes 8 to 12 hours. I keep it in the fridge and hit it with a hand-held mixer for a great yogurt drink that I sip on all day. That's it. A simple protocol. Good luck to you, dear.
I was diagnosed with breast cancer and doctor said it has spread. I chnged my diet & started taking turkey tail & Reishi Supplements along with Black seed oil & make aloe vera shake with only water. Plenty of research that theses Supplements are very beneficial when having cancer In two months the size of the tumor has reduced. I pray healing for everyone not only with cancer but any illnes or bondages In Jesus name.

Please discuss Chorophyll because it is supposed to hold onto more oxygen. Does cancer die when chlorophyll is in the blood stream. Is Cholophyll a lot like the oxygen molecule?
Thomas Seyfried also claims that cancers are completely natural mitochondrial process of reverting to fermentation, have not much to do with genetics or cell nucleus, and are worsened simply by the abundance of the high-carb and artificial modern foods.
This is really good doctor because you're telling the details that Dr Seifried and others talk about but have not really explained in detail like this. This is fantastic.
Excellent presentation thank you. The only part I disagree with is the obligatory "talk to your doctor," as if your doctor is going to be knowledgeable about this.
Very informative video. However, most doctors will not even tell a cancer patient not to eat sugar because it is not part of the protocol. They should at least be honest and say we cannot tell you not to eat sugar because we would all loose money and the pharmaceutical industry will not allow that.

My doctor tells me i must eat my vegetables and fruit he has no idea about keto i am from England i cant seem to find anybody to talk to its a disgrace. The Doctors only know how to prescribe tablets no mention about keto.
Thank you Dr. Bosworth. This is the best explanation I have come across about ketogenic diet vs cancer and especially how it works at the cellular/chemistry level. I think we should start teaching this in high school. We need to equip the next generation with this knowledge early. That will be the best and the most inexpensive preventive care. That can improve the state of health of our country big time!
I know you said multiple times to not do this alone, but what if your oncologist knows less about this than you do? He told me he supports whatever I want to do with my diet, but actually said sugar doesn’t feed cancer. So I got your book, and I put the Keto Mojo meter and strips on my wish list. And I’m devouring these talks with you and Dr Seyfried and darn it I’m going to starve my cancer!
Please look at Dr Brian Lawenda's books. He is an oncologist and a functional medicine doctor. In his book he talks about sugar's effect on cancer. It does matter what you eat. Good luck, I hope you can cure your cancer.
That’s a weird thing your oncologist would say… what does he think a PET scan does to determine if you have cancer??? They feed you glucose to determine if you have cancer because they know cancer feeds off glucose! You may need to change your oncologist
take probiotics with full spectrum fiber, prebiotics and postbiotics, and do intermittent fasting if you can. 3 days water fast or 1 day dry fast. rotate your diet, do periods of keto and fasting.
I think you WILL survive if you starve that cancer. Praying you will be healed. My husband & I are eating keto & we feel amazing. We fast regularly ... usually 16 hours daily. It makes a MASSIVE difference !
The scare of having pancreatic cancer can hit you like no other. I had shoulder and back pain sent me to ER. Also believe it or not a friend pot mine who is. Physic felt there was a problem with my abdomen. Cat scan noticed a lesion in my pancreas . This was in May 2024. It showed Mucinous cystic neoplasm in the pancreatic tail. 2.7cm. I Have been on low carb in Oct of 2023. Keto in early 2024. Carnivore in April 2024. Had second MRI IN Nov of 2024 showed a stable 2.6x1.7 multilocular cystic lesion in pancreatic tail most compatible with Mucinous cyctadenoma. Needless to say I am very happy…they also checked my lymph nodes, lungs and gallbladder. All clear. 3 more years of tests every 6 months. I feel I am very Blessed and will stay on the keto/vere for the foreseeable future. I am a 77 year old senior 4’10 105lbs. 😊
i was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer in july 2021 12 rounds of chemo and 2 major surgeries later i started chemo during the 10th round of chemo (folfox,oxalplatin, levoracil, every 2 weeks..i noticed that the chemo would blast me out of ketosis for a week and a half..Now that im done with chemo since last week im hoping to get fully on trac ...still not there but improving ..your videos are a great resource.. thanks dr Boz ! by the way i started chemo at 300lbs and during chemo i gained 50lbs ...so i really need this diet.. ive got my glucose and ketone meter..
Wishing you much healing 🙏 Clean Keto can be extremely helpful...don't give up, arm yourself with tons of information on natural health. Other great channels are Dr. Berg, Dr. Mindy Pelz and Dr. Sten Ekberg. God bless 🙏
One note: Glucose is converted to pyruvate in the cytoplasm, not the mitochondrion. Low oxygen in the cytoplasm means that glycolysis results in the formation of lactic acid (fermentation) instead of pyruvic acid. It is reversible when and if enough oxygen becomes available.
yes Dr. Boz I have taken it to the Next Step Paleolithic ketogenic 16 days in 2 days challenged just so I can show my son and my wife this is the way to start they are not on board yet. all in HIS timing. All the best
Seems like one of the best first steps when getting a diagnosis of cancer, would be to get a full nutritional panel to seek out any deficiencies. Then adjust diet and the other modalities like dealing with any trauma or past wounds in your relationships. Also stress is extremely high on the list of things that affect your well-being and your health along with sleep. I think it always pays to help learn new techniques for dealing with stress and especially learn to support the vagus nerve. JMO
Once again another very informative video Dr. Boz 👌 I barely passed science and biology 😕, so I have to watch video a couple times to fully get it 😒😥🤦 but the illustrations are very helpful 👍 Gob bless 🙏
I had to stop this video half way to give you a thumbs up, and to press the subscribe button. You are a great teacher.... Now, I shall continue with the video.. 😊
Dr. Boz I know you say talk to your Doctor about this but regular Doctors here in Canada (government Docs- which is most) they do not understand or promote Ketogenic diets, they even scoff at vitamins , we are doomed if we listen to these doctors , they all push pharmasudical drugs , we need more Doctors like you! How can we find good doctors to consult about this topic
@@CG-mj8tk It was lung cancer and from what I remember from her last interview with Peter Attia her cancer developed from a rare genetic mutation she unfortunately carried.
My father got blood cancer at the age of 81. I didn't know what to do at that time, because my father's position is already weak and hemoglobin often drops. And the food at the hospital was a rice, milk and sweet tea, I realized too late (carb & sugar). Even the anti-pain given was paracetamol which was included intravenously/not oral, I also learned this information too late if paracetamol given intravenously could increase blood sugar (except oral). My father passed away at the age of 82 due to blood cancer (CML>MM>???). I hope this tragedy does not happen to all my friends who read my comments here..
Keto/ lchf + IF through breast CA in 2018. In 2017, I failed my colonoscopy screening: 7 nodes removed. 5 of which were precancerous. Diet: homemade whole wheat bread, 3-5 servings of veg + 2 fruits and 5-7 oz lean protein daily. Started keto in ‘18. Surgery, chemo & PEs behind me…repeat colonoscopy was clear. Not even a zit on my butt. (TMI 😵💫) Now I’m in a tumorogenic CA study & and I’m trying to get them to embrace the idea of a link between tumorogenic CA & elevated insulin + CA loves sugar. I show them by being n=1 bec no one listens.
Bread, pasta, potatoes, rice turn into glucose which feeds cancer, no fruit bc it's sugar. UA-cam beat diabetic showed blood sugar comparisons of banana & chocolate bar, they both shot the blood sugar up. Only very low sugar fruit like blue berries, raspberry strawberrys
Big Pharma has a death grip on Clinicians. Many trust what is being fed to them without taking the time to do some research. They are paralyzed out of fear of litigation.
For years I wondered how we could encapsulate cancer and the two words that sprang to mind were environment and inflammation. Obviously we can improve our environment by avoiding harmful chemicals where possible, not smoking and being careful with alcohol. With regard to inflammation, I believe that cancer always finds its place in an enflamed area of the body and therefore keto with intermittent fasting will likely help to reduce inflammation in the body. Keto may help from a preventative point of view, but prolonged fasting with intermittent fasting and OMAD keto is proving to be very successful in treating cancer.
Are you talking about just having meats and dairy and things like that?..why does the research say veggies and fruits are good for cancer and people who live longer dont eat a lot of meat..Im so confused and I had cancer and cancer free but want to prevent it..I do a few days of fasting..I do intermittant fasting.....no sugar, low carb..I check my glucose and keytones, etc.but I dont like eating a lot of meat..
@@mariejones7136 from following this channel and other similar ones, fruit is a big no-no because most fruits today are hybrids and are far too sweet. But berries are good for keto and green veg is mostly good too...mostly cruciferous veg. I tend to have bacon and some ground beef or ground pork...basically one serving of meat with each meal. I could scale back the meat to some degree, but I'm not sure how easy it would be to follow a vegetarian version. Eggs work well however as they contain ALL of the essential amino acids.
@@mariejones7136 I would say that if you're healthy individual and happy with everything, eat the stuff. But if you're looking for a state of ketosis, it would be best to focus on berries.
Depending on the type of cancer it feeds on protein, fats or glucose. All cancers not being the same must be identified to target the fuel source that has to be eliminated in order to eliminate this cancer effectively. A ketogenic diet is a very effective treatment on cancers that feed on glucose however if the cancer feeds on another fuel source the Keto diet will not be successful. There is also the risk of a cancer that initially feeds off a specific fuel source that can mutate to feed on another fuel if the initial one is deprived. It's very complex but some people have been successful at fighting multiple cancers throughout the life for example Jane Mclelland. Her struggles and success is extremely worth reading in her book " How to Starve Cancer without Starving Yourself ".
Your comment is interesting. I ve come across the same info about how each cancer can mutate and feed on other fuel sources... However i ve not yet found one serious study on how a cancer can feed on fat. I saw a study that a lot of medias took and repeated, about how prostate cancer feeds on fat, BUT reading the study, the fat they gave to the mice had sugar with it!!! so, that totally invalidates the result... Another point is that no matter what the cancer is, it will always feed on glucose. Always. Excess of proteins becomes glucose (gluconeogenesis)... so the only source of energy left for the body is fat... I m not saying that ur comment is not right. I m thinking out loud and came to the conclusion that fat remains the only source of energy, a person with cancer can eat to limit the consequences... It s a keto diet with very very low carbs, low proteins, very high fat. A diet that is hard to sustain because most foods on the keto diet have proteins and fat together... fat only is a lot harder to consume.
Wonderful information! I am two times Cancer survived. Caught it early both times buy as I am getting older I want to do all I can to prevent anymore cancer and help my loved ones prevent it! It seems to have turned into the # 1 life threatening horrible disease in the world,especially U.S.!! Our food,cleaning products, pollution, chemicals in everything! It makes it hard on a tight budget to buy everything orgsnic,and buy detox treatments, anti oxidants,nutrients,etc. It's overwhelming unless you are well off abd have plenty of money butvI for what I can. I wish all nutritionist and doctors treating cancer would wake up to the truth! People that I know have cancer now won't listen to me. They trust only their doctor and they aren't even informed informed about their diet at all, just chemo!! So sad,have watched people die that could have has a chance to survive or at least live longer!! 😢😢😢
Hi - I know this information is over year old and I'm reading or listening to it July 2023 LOL!!! I have breast cancer which hasn't affected my Limp nods yet and I am Diabetic2, for 40 years now. I now understand that FASTING helps reducing my blood levels or glucose levels and that taking more insulin makes my diabetes worse. I done FASTING and it works. But I have been listening to Dr. William Seyfried, and Dr. Li who talk about starving the cancer cells by removing sugar/glucose from the diet and lactic acid. I tried explaining this to my breast cancer surgeon of this alternative method of Keto Diet and starving the cancer cell but she put me on Anastrozole or Anatrole 1mg. I stopped taking it because it was affecting my teeth and hip joints. Dr. Seyfried suggested medicate the Lactic Acid but didn't give the name of the drug for it. Do you know what that drug could be that won't bring on osteoporosis of the bones? Would love to hear your response - thank you for what you do. And I am 75.
I have terminal cancer diagnosis called peritoneal carcinomatosis. It's very rare. Chemo saved my life, but now that it has returned I went keto in the hope of suppressing the cancer. I have managed to keep the CA125 from rising appreciably for the last couple of months with keto and a couple of 24 hr fasts per week. My doctor retired and I will speak to the new one about my chosen strategy, but since when can an oncologist approve it?
I have this as a secondary cancer too, on which chemo you were? I have lots of belly fluid too( Had radiation therapy which really knocked me off( I can’t have operation either( I hope you are doing well 🙏
Thank you, Meg. My cancer has returned as I said and the keto diet is helping to suppress the growth, but it has slowly grown enough to need some other form of therapy to combine with it. I also was doing things wrong in the diet. My protein was too high, fat was too Iow & I went by net carbs when it I should have been using total carbs. Sigh. What are you doing to help yourself?
@@thresamatthews9096 Could you please share what I should be eating as a diet. I am not sure what is best. I lost a lot of weight and bmi and I don’t have any power ( I have no taste either after chemo and radiation as I am not operable. I am also in hospital for immunotherapy treatment and I am so scared what side effects that could come with it. I constantly accumulate fluid in my tummy ( I hope you are doing better 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Dr Ken Berry has a playlist of what to eat and avoid on a ketogenic diet - basically only eat 1 ingredient foods, no grains, no sugar, no vegetable oils ( canola, corn, soy, crisco, margarine, peanut, etc.), only animal fats.
I had benign cancer cells and because I ate a lot of animal products and I just stopped my sugar highly processed food and white bread Fruits and vegetables and eggs sometimes help me to be in good diet and balanced. Everyones body and how's your body doing and how you feeling is different. I my self tried meat food only and my cancer cells become tumour...... So I study about my body and what I ate and lifestyle. And I'm in 13 years of benign state.
Great video doctor. I've cut out sugar for over a year now but still eat fruit and wonder how much fruit is good. I eat mostly berries,apples,green bananas,kiwi,pears and occasionally other fruits. I have prostate cancer undergoing hormone injection treatment. Forgot to say I'm G. Robinson. It's my wife's site.
I like the graphics that help go along w your explanations!! I have a dedicated list of people that pray for, started out w several cancer patients. The list has grown due to additional names amd shrunk due to death. I want to help promote a healthier lifestyle for thise around me. So, I encourage you to keep up your work and I'll keep up mine!

I read that Green tea extract blocks glutamine. Try drinking unsweetened green tea at least 3 to 4 times a day, hot or cold. You can also use Matcha green tea powder in smoothie or use the green tea as water in juices. Good luck
Interestingly, I have prostate cancer and cancer in the prostate seems to be more Lipo genetic then glucogenic one of the few cancer cells that's less dependent on sugar I did go keto for the first 60 days but I lost too much weight. I was already a very healthy 23 BMI so I had to switch to Mediterranean not to lose so much weight.
Thank you!! Ive been listening to Dr Seyfried for several years. I have his book. My mom and husband died from cancer. My IHSS client has ever metabolic issue and inflammation. Have not been able to get her off of all inflammatory foods.
My question is: how do you eliminate (or, for how long do you eliminate) glutamine as this is an amino acid also needed by the immune system. Are 72 hr fasts enough? If so, what are the intervals of repeating 72hr fasts? Thanks 🙏
Unfortunately a fast does nothing to stop glutamine… however there is a drug that can target glutamine but of course it would be a doctor that knows what they are doing in conjunction with fasting.
I would like to know this as well. Doing keto successfully and I have Essential Thrombocythemia. Jak positive. @Dr. Boz. any research on Keto and MPN's?
You say "Be sure to talk to your doctor" about this. It's not to be done alone. Fine. But the problem is either the doctor is ignorant about the ketogenic diet so he does not believe in its efficacy or he is one of those connected to the big food or pharmaceutical industries whose only concern is money to the detriment of the cancer patient!
she has no choice but to say that.... you are big enough to do what seems right for you and shouldnt let anyone even doctors that have been lying to us all along... direct your life and health
I find your defence of kitogenic diet informative .but yyouvdropped the ball on correcting that cholestrol dogma is killing people in mass instead of the real cause sugar and insulin resistance
All the things I told my sister in law who is a nurse. She’s lo sugar but doesn’t account for pasta & grains. She has an aggressive liposcarcoma. I told her ketosis, sauna & cold therapy. She was told specifically no sauna as it damages the skin
My father has metastasis to liver and I am doing keto method the past month to him but his sugar level is always around 100-113. Please advise why does not drop lower. We eat meat, eggs, shots of olive oil and sometimes few veggies. 😢 Already had pancreas surgery last year.
Hi I wanted to know if I stop Tamoxifen due to sideffects. If I do 3 day water fast and do 18 hour fast meanig having 3 meal a day have green tea brocoli turmeric will that reduce my chances of cancer returning
Doc told me I needed insulin shots because my blood was "thickening" I have stage 4 IBCancer. No hope at the memento for chemo. Just starting keno diet. and use Fenbendozole, & Ivmectin to shrink cancer. Appears the Doc and insulin set me back...
Since so many people have metabolic disease, borderline, diabetic or type two diabetic. This makes all the sense in the world to assist in keeping glucose levels down but in a healthy non-metabolic damaged person that gets cancer runs normal blood sugar 75 to 96. I wonder if it has as much affect your insulin insulin resistance are in line with a healthy person.
I have two questions, how do you combat the glutamine that comes from a lot of Animal products and also, what do you do if you don’t want to lose any more weight?
Very interesting, great way to explaign, very usefull. But is it possible to stop adaptation of the cancer cells to bypass the lack of glucose with other strategy ? (sorry for my bad english) Greetings from Belgium, and thanks a LOT for your excellent work
Thank you Dr Boz, Thank you. I have Prof Thomas Seyfried book Cancer as a Metabolic disease, Its my bible, lol. Your video is such a wonderful explanation. I do have a little problem, my keto meter a Freestyle optimum neo, once the keto reading goes above say 7.7 it will only read HI, so I am without number, with a glucose of say 2.7mmol/L and a keto reading of 7.7 that is a GKI of 0.3506, I cant find a meter that will give a numbered reading, instead of HI. so once it HI I have to use 8 but would like to know for sure a figure. Do you recommend a keto meter, Thank you so much again.
This is in line with Dr Thomas Seyfried' press pulse strategy. 3 questions I have are, 1 do you also recommend glutamine blocker (DON) as a pulse ? 2 in order to reach GKI about 1 (mmol to mmol), gluconeogenesis should be suppressed. Do you recommend Metformin? 3 what about adding vitamin C IV injection on top of HBOT ?
DR BOZ , Can you provide the name, of a Cancer Doctor, in Arkansas or Western Texas, who uses your protocol? I have given away several of, Any Way You Can, in English and took one, in Spanish, to Mexico for my dear young friend and I've posted your videos. I love the way you explain everything! The books/videos were given, for diabetes, general health and/or significant weight loss. But, my best friend's brother has Stage 4, Squamous Cell Carcinoma, in scull, lymph nodes and blood. Tests have not revealed the source. He is told, he is not a candidate for Chemo or other traditional treatments. We were praying for that, He is willing to take an alternate route and his sister will walk closely with him, as you did with your mother. Thanks for any recommendation. PS: So glad you have moved, to My Florida.
I have stage 4 colorectal cancer and is also in the peritoneom. I had one round of chemo and it liked to killed me. I had surgery for an ostomy bag and am still having problems with that also. I refused more chemo because I have no one in my family that cares about me and are too busy. I have tremendous pain and cannot control it. It's painful to eat but I am starving. I now have no oncologist, no one who wants to help me, and have no one who cares. I have researched so many things in an attempt to bring many methods together. Of course, I am on a fixed income and alone. I do have hope. I have been given 6 months. I am trying to find a community and others to talk to. I pray for help and have given everything to God. I will not give up. That is too easy. I do not know what to do. My family makes me so sad.
Alana ~same here, but God promised to heal me and yet I have no one to share my life with because God didn’t do enough to handle my family in their hearts their Christian hearts.
Try keto diet along with water fasting 2-3 days every month. That or a very strict and healthy diet full of organics including organic meats. Limit beef consumption and fishes for your protein intakes. Drink plentiful of organic green teas(3-4 cups daily) 10-15 mins after each meal. Water fast 2-3 days every month. No sugar and no fruits with the exception of some very low sugar berries. A lot of exercises. Do researches on how to do keto diet and fasting. Best of luck
Try fasting for 2.5 days before your chemotherapy +2.5 days after your chemo. This is what I do and it certainly has help to shrink the tumours and because you’ve got no food inside your body, the side-effects are less. Fortunately, I feel good during them five days
I know someone that was recently diagnosed with CLL leukemia . This is blood cancer. She has been told that this is an incurable cancer. I am not if you know anything about this or not. Just curious if you know anything about this
What about childhood leukemia, does any of the keto recommendations apply to pediatric blood cancers? I can’t find any information on diet for children undergoing chemo 😢
Hi dr. Boz , can’t consult my doctor , doesn’t have a clue about the keto diet , he says to cut out the fat and eat more carbs., to be healthy…. Lol.. Also I asked for an insulin test and he said that doesn’t tell you anything , asked him about a HOMA IR test , and he said he has never heard about it.. I have a question , do you think statin may cause cancer ? Because dr. Hyman says in a video that statin poisons your mitochondria..
That’s a longer conversation than YT.. the best answer I’ve seen work for situations like yours = gift your doctor ANYWAY YOU CAN. That sounds sell promoting .. but it’s been surprisingly beneficial. Read the book yourself.. then pass the boo to your doctor. It surprisingly beneficial.
you cant even take the time to type properly .. your lack of correct English is telling .. were you hired from Benin to answer her questions ? And it was a simple yes or no on STATIN @@DoctorBoz

My mom was diagnosed a month ago with cancer. She’s 83 and the oncologist told her to get her affairs in order. She wouldn’t have more that 6 months to a year. As soon as I got her home from the hospital I told her everything she was eating so was I. We’ve gone completely organic and are doing protein, healthy fats and lots of leafy green vegetables. We’ve also started a treatment called a Hocatt. It’s infrared sauna and ozone and a few other modalities. She will also be starting high dose vitamin C infusion and is taking lots of turmeric and ginger. With God’s blessing she will be here for at least 6 more years. For everyone battling cancer, I pray you find a way to beat it.
🍀💜🍀❤🍀💛🍀
Get rid of the leafy green veges.
@@earthflute2248 what's wrong with veggies ..lots of good studies on cruciferous veggies and broccoli sprouts and cabbage and cauliflower and greens and garlic and onions and radishes etc for cancer.
I feel like you’re on the right track.

I have stage 4. I started about 9 months ago a keto/carnivore diet. I have another CT in 3 weeks. Last one 6 months ago showed a .5 cm loss in the largest tumor. I am hoping this one will be also good. My doc said last time was a error in reading. I found a medical center near me that has a Hyperbaric chamber. I may be able to get that also. One day at a time. My ketones has been pretty good now for the last couple months.
Hope it goes well with you ❤
And cancer does not die easy. Weeks of vomiting and pain, then big improvements in stages until three years later I am completely symptom-free and have never been in better health at age 65 -- and I'm still doing keto! Thanks, Dr. Boz.
Congrats on your improved health 🙏
Can you please share if you used Keto to help with can-cer, conventional treatments or both? Thanks in advance 🙏
@@emmanuelking9988 No, my belief is that doctors are useful for young people until they learn the limits of the medical arts and commit to taking care of themselves. I had recurrent bleeding from my bowels -- bright red along with mucus -- for ten years, becoming more frequent, but no pain to speak of and I was too busy to worry about it much. Then in September 2018 my dentist told me to quit smoking my tobacco pipe, and after a week of eating as a substitute, I hit on keto as a solution to help becoming tobacco-free. Within a week of keto, my upper colon went into full revolt with excruciating pain and daily vomiting. I laid in bed for a week with a heating pad pressed into the pain, and after that it improved steadily but hurt a lot until one day three months later, I passed a handful of dead tissue like casings and felt immediately better -- incredible relief up to 80 percent all better. I took a photo. Then on and off mild discomfort now and then for the next several months, but not nearly as bad. I knew what it was -- the cancer was dying, and it didn't want to die easy. Stuck to keto religiously, testing with urine strips but just staying in low ketosis -- under 20 carbs a day but not stringent -- comfortable and easy, but certainly in ketosis. No extreme supplements or additives, just plain keto eating. Got steadily better until my health got really, really good in the Fall of 2020 and has stayed that way -- just perfect and wonderful, plenty of energy and stamina and concentration and great sleep. No, I don't do doctors because I believe we must learn our own bodies -- so many variables, emotions, attitudes, spiritual beliefs, varied food availability. I grow vegetables in greenhouses and ate my weight in kale before starting keto, but keto is the only way, nothing else comes close. I'm a true believer today. Dr. Boz was my guiding light -- I was so sick and she was so friendly that I could listen to her UA-cam videos and feel better. It made me laugh when she was hitting the scobie brew because I'm A.A. (34 years now) and cannot do the liquor relief I notice so many keto people doing! My theory is that we have for eons hunted meat and need to have energy and focus to go get more when our supply runs low, while precious grains are for feeding to chickens and cows. That's my theory, and I'm sticking to it. Thanks for the opportunity to share. Oh, also, I wore knee braces for 30 years -- football/housemaid's knees -- and within the first 10 weeks of keto, my knees completely healed and have stayed healed. That to me is such a miracle! Since my 20's, I haven't been able to walk without knee braces. It's astonishing to this day.
@@northamerican287 Cancer is not a "disease" but the result of healing that doesn't stop. In the 60's they tried to figure out how many different kinds of cancer there are, and discovered that every tissue has within it a "cancer" gene. During World War One, they found on autopsy that soldiers who had been exposed to mustard gas had 50% less lung cancer than those who hadn't breathed any mustard gas, and that's where they came up with mustard-based chemotherapy. The reason it works sometimes is that it shocks the system enough to "reset" the healing genes -- to re-injure them enough that they think it's the original injury that started the cancer in the first place and stop trying to heal. That's why taking a trip to Mexico for a miracle cure sometimes works -- the trip itself is so distressful that it works like chemo. Also, colds and flu viruses kill weakened cells, cleaning out all the pre-cancerous tissue, so are you surprised that the medical industry wants to eliminate cold and flu viruses so they can "treat" more cancer patients? Dr. Boz proves that cancer cells can be starved out with keto, but it takes time -- years even -- and so the solution is to concentrate on being healthy, not thinking of eradicating "disease." Make sense?
@@HistoryAnonymous
Thank you so much for taking the time to respond and answer my questions, truly appreciate it 🙏
I was absolutely blown away of your health healing story, it is truly amazing and very inspiring. I am of the same belief as you, where I 100% believe real & healthy foods can assist the body to heal itself and your story confirmed it! 🙌
I started Keto a year ago due to developing type 2 diabetes and Keto got me out of diabetic range but now I found I have a bone tumor (not sure if it's malignant yet)...can-cer or not, I want to treat the tumor naturally and reading your story just gave me so much HOPE and huge motivation to stick with Keto.
May I ask...what foods did you mainly eat on Keto? Did you consume dairy? Did you consume animal meats? What vegetables did you eat? Any specific teas 🍵? Did you consume Keto friendly sweeteners?
My apologies for all the questions...just want to learn what worked for you and perhaps it can help me, thank you very much in advance again 🙏
@@emmanuelking9988 Okay, here's a hint: cancer often begins with a crushing injury, often from our younger years, then it comes out later. When they clone animals, they bring a cell to the point of death and inject DNA into it -- so it replicates. The point of keto is to streamline our metabolism to the point of autophagy so the body feeds on our weak or damaged cells while we are feeding the healthy cells. It's not supposed to be painful at all after the cancer is consumed. Keto for me is easy now. It's very natural and logical. Big portions of fat -- sour cream, heavy cream, butter and lard -- but no seed oils, and I don't do olive oil, either. Just dairy and animal fats. I eat substantial portions of animal meat and eggs and fish, and I buy big sacks of raw almonds and eat a couple handfuls at at a time, until I'm satiated, sometimes with my meal. And I eat peanut butter. I make "crackerbread" by mixing a cup of coconut flour with a cup of brown flax meal with a third cup of peanut butter, mix in 2/3 cup of water and let it sit for an hour, press it into a cookie sheet with parchment paper and bake 12 minutes at 350 degrees. Cool on rack, cut into six squares and refrigerate. This can be toasted or eaten plain. I always bake a double recipe. I eat canned vegetables from the food banks that the Mormons give me. I eat all kinds of veggies, but I don't buy avocados because they're too expensive. Potatoes and squash and corn are too starchy, so just a little sometimes. I add collagen when I can. I drink coffee all day with half-n-half and heavy cream. I don't use any sweeteners any more. Hint: at first when the cancer was dying, anything helps -- chewing gum, electrolytes, sweeteners, anything to ease the suffering. But just stay in ketosis. Get urine strips and use them. But please don't suffer with this! Keto is a good thing, a natural state to be in. I don't think more than just a little bit into ketosis is helpful, like plants can't use more than a few hours of sun and use a limited amount of water, and babies only grow a certain amount each day, and we only sleep 8 hours, not 14. See that? Nature has limits, and it's a steady road, not a race. Get happy -- find something you like to do and do it. Nature is sensible and good. Oh, I also buy 55-pound sacks of powdered milk and make Bulgarian yogurt in a couple gallon plastic buckets sitting on a seed-sprouting mat, with them covered in a plastic tablecloth to keep in the heat. Takes 8 to 12 hours. I keep it in the fridge and hit it with a hand-held mixer for a great yogurt drink that I sip on all day. That's it. A simple protocol. Good luck to you, dear.
I was diagnosed with breast cancer and doctor said it has spread. I chnged my diet & started taking turkey tail & Reishi Supplements along with Black seed oil & make aloe vera shake with only water. Plenty of research that theses Supplements are very beneficial when having cancer
In two months the size of the tumor has reduced. I pray healing for everyone not only with cancer but any illnes or bondages

Please discuss Chorophyll because it is supposed to hold onto more oxygen. Does cancer die when chlorophyll is in the blood stream. Is Cholophyll a lot like the oxygen molecule?
What king of mushroom?
Thomas Seyfried also claims that cancers are completely natural mitochondrial process of reverting to fermentation, have not much to do with genetics or cell nucleus, and are worsened simply by the abundance of the high-carb and artificial modern foods.
This is really good doctor because you're telling the details that Dr Seifried and others talk about but have not really explained in detail like this. This is fantastic.
100% MIND BLOWING. How is it modern science has missed this for so long? Even if it doesn't cure every time, it surely extends life in every case.
No money!
Excellent presentation thank you. The only part I disagree with is the obligatory "talk to your doctor," as if your doctor is going to be knowledgeable about this.
It is obligatory. Combats lawsuits.
Wouldn't trust the whole lot of them.
Very informative video. However, most doctors will not even tell a cancer patient not to eat sugar because it is not part of the protocol. They should at least be honest and say we cannot tell you not to eat sugar because we would all loose money and the pharmaceutical industry will not allow that.
They don't like oxygen cells
Amazing video! Best class I have ever heard that explains it so clearly! Why are intelligent doctors not gettingvthis!!!??

My doctor tells me i must eat my vegetables and fruit he has no idea about keto i am from England i cant seem to find anybody to talk to its a disgrace. The Doctors only know how to prescribe tablets no mention about keto.
This is one of your best podcasts. Enjoyed, thank you.
Thank you Dr. Bosworth. This is the best explanation I have come across about ketogenic diet vs cancer and especially how it works at the cellular/chemistry level. I think we should start teaching this in high school. We need to equip the next generation with this knowledge early. That will be the best and the most inexpensive preventive care. That can improve the state of health of our country big time!
That remark of teaching it in schools is a brilliant idea and if I can help lmk I will try my best to help I have stage 4
I know you said multiple times to not do this alone, but what if your oncologist knows less about this than you do? He told me he supports whatever I want to do with my diet, but actually said sugar doesn’t feed cancer. So I got your book, and I put the Keto Mojo meter and strips on my wish list. And I’m devouring these talks with you and Dr Seyfried and darn it I’m going to starve my cancer!
Please look at Dr Brian Lawenda's books. He is an oncologist and a functional medicine doctor. In his book he talks about sugar's effect on cancer. It does matter what you eat. Good luck, I hope you can cure your cancer.
That’s a weird thing your oncologist would say… what does he think a PET scan does to determine if you have cancer??? They feed you glucose to determine if you have cancer because they know cancer feeds off glucose! You may need to change your oncologist
take probiotics with full spectrum fiber, prebiotics and postbiotics, and do intermittent fasting if you can. 3 days water fast or 1 day dry fast. rotate your diet, do periods of keto and fasting.
I think you WILL survive if you starve that cancer. Praying you will be healed. My husband & I are eating keto & we feel amazing. We fast regularly ... usually 16 hours daily. It makes a MASSIVE difference !
Oncologist is NOT correct. Sugar DOES feed cancer. So does CO2, thus people should NOT wear masks.
The scare of having pancreatic cancer can hit you like no other. I had shoulder and back pain sent me to ER. Also believe it or not a friend pot mine who is.

Had second MRI IN Nov of 2024 showed a stable 2.6x1.7 multilocular cystic lesion in pancreatic tail most compatible with Mucinous cyctadenoma. Needless to say I am very happy…they also checked my lymph nodes, lungs and gallbladder. All clear. 3 more years of tests every 6 months.

A Visual learner’s delight ! Dr. Boz does a great job at explaining complicated science simply.
One note: Glucose is converted to pyruvate in the cytoplasm, not the mitochondrion. Low oxygen in the cytoplasm means that glycolysis results in the formation of lactic acid (fermentation) instead of pyruvic acid. It is reversible when and if enough oxygen becomes available.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who's appalled by how incorrectly glucose metabolism is presented here.
Your source?

Seems like one of the best first steps when getting a diagnosis of cancer, would be to get a full nutritional panel to seek out any deficiencies. Then adjust diet and the other modalities like dealing with any trauma or past wounds in your relationships. Also stress is extremely high on the list of things that affect your well-being and your health along with sleep. I think it always pays to help learn new techniques for dealing with stress and especially learn to support the vagus nerve. JMO

My father got blood cancer at the age of 81. I didn't know what to do at that time, because my father's position is already weak and hemoglobin often drops. And the food at the hospital was a rice, milk and sweet tea, I realized too late (carb & sugar). Even the anti-pain given was paracetamol which was included intravenously/not oral, I also learned this information too late if paracetamol given intravenously could increase blood sugar (except oral).

When u started keto in 2018 did u do chemo and surgery then too? Ty
@@CG-mj8tk surgery then chemo. I was supposed to have radiation too but decided not to.
"Ichf" ~ LCHF = Low Carb High Fat
Bread, pasta, potatoes, rice turn into glucose which feeds cancer, no fruit bc it's sugar. UA-cam beat diabetic showed blood sugar comparisons of banana & chocolate bar, they both shot the blood sugar up. Only very low sugar fruit like blue berries, raspberry strawberrys
Big Pharma has a death grip on Clinicians. Many trust what is being fed to them without taking the time to do some research. They are paralyzed out of fear of litigation.
Fasting is an ancient form of healing.
But this would make people lose weight faster and be weaker in an ill state wouldnt it? How would this help? We need nutrients
Can you use hydrogen peroxide to introduce oxygen?
For years I wondered how we could encapsulate cancer and the two words that sprang to mind were environment and inflammation. Obviously we can improve our environment by avoiding harmful chemicals where possible, not smoking and being careful with alcohol. With regard to inflammation, I believe that cancer always finds its place in an enflamed area of the body and therefore keto with intermittent fasting will likely help to reduce inflammation in the body.
Keto may help from a preventative point of view, but prolonged fasting with intermittent fasting and OMAD keto is proving to be very successful in treating cancer.
Are you talking about just having meats and dairy and things like that?..why does the research say veggies and fruits are good for cancer and people who live longer dont eat a lot of meat..Im so confused and I had cancer and cancer free but want to prevent it..I do a few days of fasting..I do intermittant fasting.....no sugar, low carb..I check my glucose and keytones, etc.but I dont like eating a lot of meat..
@@mariejones7136 from following this channel and other similar ones, fruit is a big no-no because most fruits today are hybrids and are far too sweet. But berries are good for keto and green veg is mostly good too...mostly cruciferous veg.
I tend to have bacon and some ground beef or ground pork...basically one serving of meat with each meal. I could scale back the meat to some degree, but I'm not sure how easy it would be to follow a vegetarian version. Eggs work well however as they contain ALL of the essential amino acids.
@@RobCLynch see I'm so afraid to eat so much meat as it contains glutamine and according to Prof.seyfried that fuels cancer cells.
I'm so depressed about fruit. I love eating fruit but I've really cut down on it.
@@mariejones7136 I would say that if you're healthy individual and happy with everything, eat the stuff. But if you're looking for a state of ketosis, it would be best to focus on berries.
Depending on the type of cancer it feeds on protein, fats or glucose. All cancers not being the same must be identified to target the fuel source that has to be eliminated in order to eliminate this cancer effectively. A ketogenic diet is a very effective treatment on cancers that feed on glucose however if the cancer feeds on another fuel source the Keto diet will not be successful. There is also the risk of a cancer that initially feeds off a specific fuel source that can mutate to feed on another fuel if the initial one is deprived. It's very complex but some people have been successful at fighting multiple cancers throughout the life for example Jane Mclelland. Her struggles and success is extremely worth reading in her book " How to Starve Cancer without Starving Yourself ".
Your comment is interesting. I ve come across the same info about how each cancer can mutate and feed on other fuel sources... However i ve not yet found one serious study on how a cancer can feed on fat. I saw a study that a lot of medias took and repeated, about how prostate cancer feeds on fat, BUT reading the study, the fat they gave to the mice had sugar with it!!! so, that totally invalidates the result... Another point is that no matter what the cancer is, it will always feed on glucose. Always. Excess of proteins becomes glucose (gluconeogenesis)... so the only source of energy left for the body is fat...
I m not saying that ur comment is not right. I m thinking out loud and came to the conclusion that fat remains the only source of energy, a person with cancer can eat to limit the consequences... It s a keto diet with very very low carbs, low proteins, very high fat. A diet that is hard to sustain because most foods on the keto diet have proteins and fat together... fat only is a lot harder to consume.
@@Pazybienaestacasa check out Jane Mclleland’s book. Will not disappoint. Thanks.
Burning for information thanks for sharing this knowledge ❤️ from Johannesburg South Africa 👍💕
Wonderful information! I am two times Cancer survived. Caught it early both times buy as I am getting older I want to do all I can to prevent anymore cancer and help my loved ones prevent it! It seems to have turned into the # 1 life threatening horrible disease in the world,especially U.S.!! Our food,cleaning products, pollution, chemicals in everything! It makes it hard on a tight budget to buy everything orgsnic,and buy detox treatments, anti oxidants,nutrients,etc. It's overwhelming unless you are well off abd have plenty of money butvI for what I can. I wish all nutritionist and doctors treating cancer would wake up to the truth! People that I know have cancer now won't listen to me. They trust only their doctor and they aren't even informed informed about their diet at all, just chemo!! So sad,have watched people die that could have has a chance to survive or at least live longer!! 😢😢😢
Hi - I know this information is over year old and I'm reading or listening to it July 2023 LOL!!! I have breast cancer which hasn't affected my Limp nods yet and I am Diabetic2, for 40 years now. I now understand that FASTING helps reducing my blood levels or glucose levels and that taking more insulin makes my diabetes worse. I done FASTING and it works.
But I have been listening to Dr. William Seyfried, and Dr. Li who talk about starving the cancer cells by removing sugar/glucose from the diet and lactic acid.
I tried explaining this to my breast cancer surgeon of this alternative method of Keto Diet and starving the cancer cell but she put me on Anastrozole or Anatrole 1mg. I stopped taking it because it was affecting my teeth and hip joints. Dr. Seyfried suggested medicate the Lactic Acid but didn't give the name of the drug for it. Do you know what that drug could be that won't bring on osteoporosis of the bones? Would love to hear your response - thank you for what you do. And I am 75.
Great informative video with very good visuals. Thanks!
I have terminal cancer diagnosis called peritoneal carcinomatosis. It's very rare. Chemo saved my life, but now that it has returned I went keto in the hope of suppressing the cancer. I have managed to keep the CA125 from rising appreciably for the last couple of months with keto and a couple of 24 hr fasts per week. My doctor retired and I will speak to the new one about my chosen strategy, but since when can an oncologist approve it?
Prayers🙏
I have this as a secondary cancer too, on which chemo you were?
I have lots of belly fluid too(
Had radiation therapy which really knocked me off(
I can’t have operation either(
I hope you are doing well 🙏
Thank you, Meg. My cancer has returned as I said and the keto diet is helping to suppress the growth, but it has slowly grown enough to need some other form of therapy to combine with it. I also was doing things wrong in the diet. My protein was too high, fat was too Iow & I went by net carbs when it I should have been using total carbs. Sigh. What are you doing to help yourself?
@@thresamatthews9096 Could you please share what I should be eating as a diet. I am not sure what is best. I lost a lot of weight and bmi and I don’t have any power (
I have no taste either after chemo and radiation as I am not operable. I am also in hospital for immunotherapy treatment and I am so scared what side effects that could come with it.
I constantly accumulate fluid in my tummy (
I hope you are doing better 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Dr Ken Berry has a playlist of what to eat and avoid on a ketogenic diet - basically only eat 1 ingredient foods, no grains, no sugar, no vegetable oils ( canola, corn, soy, crisco, margarine, peanut, etc.), only animal fats.
Dr Boz can say ANYTHING in under 30 minutes.
You should do a video interview with Professor Thomas Seyfried.
Good presentation Doc
I had benign cancer cells and because I ate a lot of animal products and I just stopped my sugar highly processed food and white bread
Fruits and vegetables and eggs sometimes help me to be in good diet and balanced.
Everyones body and how's your body doing and how you feeling is different.
I my self tried meat food only and my cancer cells become tumour......
So I study about my body and what I ate and lifestyle.
And I'm in 13 years of benign state.
I believe keto helps!!! Cut out the sugar...makes a difference.
Phenomenal info and lecture!!! You are amazing🎆
EXCELLENTE PRETTY DOC
KETO IS GREAT TO BATLE CANCER 🥰
Great video doctor.
I've cut out sugar for over a year now but still eat fruit and wonder how much fruit is good. I eat mostly berries,apples,green bananas,kiwi,pears and occasionally other fruits.
I have prostate cancer undergoing hormone injection treatment. Forgot to say I'm G. Robinson. It's my wife's site.
Dr Ken Berry has videos on his site about this. Fruit is sugar so no fruit
yeah totally agree with Judy NO FRUIT at all.... especially with cancer fruit is fructose...feeds cancer
All the fruit with sugar content prevents ketosis. Get a keto-mojo blood monitor to test your blood glucose and ketone level to gauge your diet.
I like the graphics that help go along w your explanations!!
I have a dedicated list of people that pray for, started out w several cancer patients. The list has grown due to additional names amd shrunk due to death.
I want to help promote a healthier lifestyle for thise around me.
So, I encourage you to keep up your work and I'll keep up mine!
Njoy the day!

Wow. What an amazing lecture !!!! Thank you!!
What is a reishi supplements
So what do you do against the glutamine?
How do you stop the glutamine?
I read that Green tea extract blocks glutamine. Try drinking unsweetened green tea at least 3 to 4 times a day, hot or cold. You can also use Matcha green tea powder in smoothie or use the green tea as water in juices. Good luck
Interestingly, I have prostate cancer and cancer in the prostate seems to be more Lipo genetic then glucogenic one of the few cancer cells that's less dependent on sugar I did go keto for the first 60 days but I lost too much weight. I was already a very healthy 23 BMI so I had to switch to Mediterranean not to lose so much weight.
Thank you!! Ive been listening to Dr Seyfried for several years. I have his book. My mom and husband died from cancer. My IHSS client has ever metabolic issue and inflammation. Have not been able to get her off of all inflammatory foods.
Please explain about his book
You have learned alot from Professor Seyfried? kudos Dr. Boz
My question is: how do you eliminate (or, for how long do you eliminate) glutamine as this is an amino acid also needed by the immune system. Are 72 hr fasts enough? If so, what are the intervals of repeating 72hr fasts? Thanks 🙏
Dr Boz did not address glutamine. I don't know why.
Hello, Dr. Berg hat zu Glutamin ein Video gemacht, Dr. Thomas Seyfried ebenfalls.
Unfortunately a fast does nothing to stop glutamine… however there is a drug that can target glutamine but of course it would be a doctor that knows what they are doing in conjunction with fasting.
The Good thing is that those cncers that depend on glutamine are very low.
However, intense exercise may deplete glutamine reserves by as much as half.
I am so confused now. How old is this video actually? I thought your mom sadly died of Covid 3 years ago. So sorry for your loss. 😢
1. Cancerous cells have reverted back to anaerobic processes that rely more on glucose/glutamine than on oxygen for growth.
what about the treatment of blood cancer, thrombocytosis? mutation like 2, is the treatment the same as for other cancers?
I would like to know this as well. Doing keto successfully and I have Essential Thrombocythemia. Jak positive. @Dr. Boz. any research on Keto and MPN's?
Love it 😍 so impressed, I’ve learned and become inspired to change and share ❤🎉
You say "Be sure to talk to your doctor" about this. It's not to be done alone. Fine. But the problem is either the doctor is ignorant about the ketogenic diet so he does not believe in its efficacy or he is one of those connected to the big food or pharmaceutical industries whose only concern is money to the detriment of the cancer patient!
she has no choice but to say that.... you are big enough to do what seems right for you and shouldnt let anyone even doctors that have been lying to us all along... direct your life and health
That's so true. Much of mainstream medical is overrun by greedy vultures. If you take the bull by the horns, you should be fine.
Great video.
I find your defence of kitogenic diet informative .but yyouvdropped the ball on correcting that cholestrol dogma is killing people in mass instead of the real cause sugar and insulin resistance
What about repeated prelong fasting plus a carnivore diet?
That was a good video are you an allopathic doctor
I am a learner.
All the things I told my sister in law who is a nurse. She’s lo sugar but doesn’t account for pasta & grains. She has an aggressive liposcarcoma. I told her ketosis, sauna & cold therapy. She was told specifically no sauna as it damages the skin
My father has metastasis to liver and I am doing keto method the past month to him but his sugar level is always around 100-113.
Please advise why does not drop lower.
We eat meat, eggs, shots of olive oil and sometimes few veggies. 😢
Already had pancreas surgery last year.
Hi I wanted to know if I stop Tamoxifen due to sideffects.
If I do 3 day water fast and do 18 hour fast meanig having 3 meal a day have green tea brocoli turmeric will that reduce my chances of cancer returning
Doc told me I needed insulin shots because my blood was "thickening" I have stage 4 IBCancer. No hope at the memento for chemo. Just starting keno diet. and use Fenbendozole, & Ivmectin to shrink cancer. Appears the Doc and insulin set me back...
Since so many people have metabolic disease, borderline, diabetic or type two diabetic. This makes all the sense in the world to assist in keeping glucose levels down but in a healthy non-metabolic damaged person that gets cancer runs normal blood sugar 75 to 96. I wonder if it has as much affect your insulin insulin resistance are in line with a healthy person.
Thumbs up and subscribed!
I have two questions, how do you combat the glutamine that comes from a lot of Animal products and also, what do you do if you don’t want to lose any more weight?
Do you address inhibiting glutamine as a fermentable fuel for cancer cells like Dr. Seyfried talks about?
The combination of fasting and keto diet is better?
Very interesting, great way to explaign, very usefull. But is it possible to stop adaptation of the cancer cells to bypass the lack of glucose with other strategy ? (sorry for my bad english) Greetings from Belgium, and thanks a LOT for your excellent work
What do you think about parasites causing many cancers? Ive heard drs report that parasite have known since the 1930s..
Thank you beautiful doc ❤❤❤
My doctor use to add10 ml glucose drip after Chemo drugs. I am feeling now concern with that.
IS IT work fór melanóma braf+ as Well? I heard that not
Thank you Dr Boz, Thank you. I have Prof Thomas Seyfried book Cancer as a Metabolic disease, Its my bible, lol. Your video is such a wonderful explanation. I do have a little problem, my keto meter a Freestyle optimum neo, once the keto reading goes above say 7.7 it will only read HI, so I am without number, with a glucose of say 2.7mmol/L and a keto reading of 7.7 that is a GKI of 0.3506, I cant find a meter that will give a numbered reading, instead of HI. so once it HI I have to use 8 but would like to know for sure a figure. Do you recommend a keto meter, Thank you so much again.

Ketomojo
Can not purchase in Australia.
@@evol311ve3
I m no expert on such numbers... but isn t it 7.7 or above a nivel of ketones that is way too high??
This is in line with Dr Thomas Seyfried' press pulse strategy. 3 questions I have are,
1 do you also recommend glutamine blocker (DON) as a pulse ?
2 in order to reach GKI about 1 (mmol to mmol), gluconeogenesis should be suppressed. Do you recommend Metformin?
3 what about adding vitamin C IV injection on top of HBOT ?
Should I eat eggs and cheese if I have hormone sensitive breast cancer?
Interesting lecture! I am sure though that if fart allegories were not used the view count with be several times larger, something to think about
How do I deal with a ketogenic diet without a gallbladder for over 50 years now and intolerance to fat including a fatty liver and multiple lipomas
Watching replay much later but pausing and saying that cancer cells don’t like O2. Guessing
DR BOZ , Can you provide the name, of a Cancer Doctor, in Arkansas or Western Texas, who uses your protocol? I have given away several of, Any Way You Can, in English and took one, in Spanish, to Mexico for my dear young friend and I've posted your videos. I love the way you explain everything! The books/videos were given, for diabetes, general health and/or significant weight loss. But, my best friend's brother has Stage 4, Squamous Cell Carcinoma, in scull, lymph nodes and blood. Tests have not revealed the source. He is told, he is not a candidate for Chemo or other traditional treatments. We were praying for that, He is willing to take an alternate route and his sister will walk closely with him, as you did with your mother. Thanks for any recommendation. PS: So glad you have moved, to My Florida.
Oh my!! I'm not familiar with anyone there..
@@DoctorBoz Thanks for responding. He has found a Doctor.
I am in Ar. now so if you are interested, I have one also and I also have the Rife machine I am trying now. I am open if interested in contact. Thanks
@@firstlast2034 Thanks, my friend found a doctor.
I have been diagnosed with CMML ( Chronic Myeloma Monocytic Leukemia) whicj is a blood cancer.
Will Keto diet help ?
I have stage 4 colorectal cancer and is also in the peritoneom. I had one round of chemo and it liked to killed me. I had surgery for an ostomy bag and am still having problems with that also. I refused more chemo because I have no one in my family that cares about me and are too busy. I have tremendous pain and cannot control it. It's painful to eat but I am starving. I now have no oncologist, no one who wants to help me, and have no one who cares. I have researched so many things in an attempt to bring many methods together. Of course, I am on a fixed income and alone. I do have hope. I have been given 6 months. I am trying to find a community and others to talk to. I pray for help and have given everything to God. I will not give up. That is too easy. I do not know what to do. My family makes me so sad.
Alana ~same here, but God promised to heal me and yet I have no one to share my life with because God didn’t do enough to handle my family in their hearts their Christian hearts.
Try keto diet along with water fasting 2-3 days every month.
That or a very strict and healthy diet full of organics including organic meats. Limit beef consumption and fishes for your protein intakes.
Drink plentiful of organic green teas(3-4 cups daily) 10-15 mins after each meal.
Water fast 2-3 days every month.
No sugar and no fruits with the exception of some very low sugar berries.
A lot of exercises.
Do researches on how to do keto diet and fasting.
Best of luck
❤ you’re not alone, 🤗. The collective spirit of God in you & everyone else, knows best how to heal. There’s healing in fasting. 🙏🏽
70% percent fat, 20 percent protein, 10 percent carbs is your way to go
Try fasting for 2.5 days before your chemotherapy +2.5 days after your chemo. This is what I do and it certainly has help to shrink the tumours and because you’ve got no food inside your body, the side-effects are less. Fortunately, I feel good during them five days
How can I find a doctor who is open to this time of therapy?
I know someone that was recently diagnosed with CLL leukemia . This is blood cancer. She has been told that this is an incurable cancer. I am not if you know anything about this or not. Just curious if you know anything about this
Dr. Boz, are you familiar with any doctors at Johns Hopkins or the Baltimore area that are in tune with these protocols?
Dr Tan
How can I access the Max Strength Keto Combo and tablets. I am from Uganda and my mum has stage 4 colon cancer
The visuals could be better...
What about childhood leukemia, does any of the keto recommendations apply to pediatric blood cancers? I can’t find any information on diet for children undergoing chemo 😢
Hi dr. Boz , can’t consult my doctor , doesn’t have a clue about the keto diet , he says to cut out the fat and eat more carbs., to be healthy…. Lol..
Also I asked for an insulin test and he said that doesn’t tell you anything , asked him about a HOMA IR test , and he said he has never heard about it..
I have a question , do you think statin may cause cancer ? Because dr. Hyman says in a video that statin poisons your mitochondria..
That’s a longer conversation than YT..
the best answer I’ve seen work for situations like yours = gift your doctor ANYWAY YOU CAN. That sounds sell promoting .. but it’s been surprisingly beneficial.
Read the book yourself.. then pass the boo to your doctor. It surprisingly beneficial.
you cant even take the time to type properly .. your lack of correct English is telling .. were you hired from Benin to answer her questions ? And it was a simple yes or no on STATIN @@DoctorBoz
I loved this.
People who have leukemia can do keto diet?
Absolutely.
I wanna know too
Very educational
It was all good until you put a plug there for your product 🙄 Plus it would be nice to see some useful references/bibliography.
The doctor is the last person I’d go to for cancer cure!!! 🤣🤣🤣 I haven’t met an intelligent doctor in my whole life until I started watching UA-cam!
