Best not too, ESPECIALLY if your fat stores are contaminated with trans fats or seed oils as these are hard to metabolize and your body will instead turn to its protein stores in the muscles and organs. The less demands you make on the fasting body that is ketogenically compromised by unhealthy and toxic fats the better.
Again. Everyone talking about potential life changing drugs for all glioblastoma's. But when will they be available? Promising pathway act basically got rejected in May 2024. Shocking GBM agile silent Lumos - early days SoC hasn't changed in over 20+ years. All talk no real proof people are benefiting from these trials.
Dr, Matthew, is there an update on the trial? Has it ended? How do we access the results? Thank you SO much for your work! I'm the mother of a daughter with glioblastoma and am trying to spread the word!
I have lungcancer stage 2 Male 81 years, 93 KG. I am ketonic for 6 weeks now an a new scan showed cellgrowth. I want a one-time radiation in van Leeuwenhoek Cancer insitute in Amsterdam. Have no problem with 3 day fasting and measure my GKI daly It stays around 2 to 4 Not looking forward to chemo. Will keep you posted. Loved your prefomance.
@@MoveRestEatMeat Thank you - however, Andrew has an anaplastic astrocytoma, and Pablo a grade 4 astrocytoma (this used to be called IDH mutant GBM). These are both very, very different from IDH wildtype GBM in terms of prognosis. We are only enrolling IDH wildtype GBMs in the trial, ie the ones with the most difficult prognosis. Best, Matt.
Ah so, thank you. My husband had stage 4 GBM and was gone in just 26 months at age 53. His brother died 3 months before him of the same! He only lived 1 year 😢💔😢
@@MoveRestEatMeat Ah, I am very sorry to hear of this. True GBM is the toughest of the brain cancers by a long shot. This is why we chose it - if benefit can be shown with this one, probably it would apply (to some degree) to many other brain cancers. Sincere Regards, Matt.
Great work! I have a brain tumor and I am stable when following the Paleolithic Ketogenic Diet protocol created by Paleo Medicina or ICMNI. I have tried many version of the ketogenic diet and this is the only one that works. It’s hard to follow but very effective. Conventional treatment did not work for me. My tumor cam back and I felt like nothing would work. They do have some brain tumor cases with stability of the cancer. Some patients only have used the PKD protocol without the standard of care. I am so happy metabolic therapy is being used.
Doctor Phillips, with all due respect, you forgot to mention that fats used in occidental diets are mostly from seed oils which are highly inflammatory. I have been doing fasting and ketogenic diet (only consuming coconut oil, olive oil) for 3 years and i cured from chronic bronchitis and bowel syndrome. This has been the best decision in my life , so I completely appreciate doctors like you doing these clinical trials to support the healing of chronic deseases even worse than mine ❤❤❤ thank you very much and regards from Colombia
Hi Matt, how about your normal medication, no change in taking them? I've got Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma S2T3aNM0. I've had my second surgery (1 Feb 22 - TT and 23 lymph nodes removed, 10 PTC & 11 Apr 23 - 18 lymph nodes removed, 9 PTC) but want to get in front of this. I've checked out all your work after being introduced to Metabolic Therapy by watching Dr. Thomas Seyfried. I've tried Keto ages ago but never fasting and never successful with my Keto diet. Certainly willing to make the appropriate changes. I'm a male Maori, 60 yo, 175cm at 106kg, living in Perth, WA. My last TG reading was 8, the nuke dr. said it should be below 1, TSH at 0.16 and FT4 at 25. I meet with the nuke and surgeon team next month for my 3 monthly. Starting off with a 3 day fast starting on Tuesday, looking at getting to a 5 day fast every month. Sorry the question about medication, issues, Blood pressure and gout. Thanks again
These trials will change the future of heath care and therapies. Thank you to the participants, my thoughts are with you. Living a Ketogenic lifestyle is restrictve and you are doing this trial at one of the most difficult times in your life. Love hearing about the progress of different Metabolic programmes...sideline cheerleader.
Fabulous talk with thanks to Dr Phillips and the Brain Tumour Support for their superb works. Dementia is strong in my family and after some research, almost 5 years ago I started an animal based diet utilising OMAD. I quickly realised some fabulous results including a 10% weight loss, systemic inflammation clearance, hay fever cured and a brain fog I didn't know I had disappearing. I'm grateful for all the scientist pushing the lifestyle/ nutrition frontiers and best wishes to all the participants through their challenging times.
Hi Audrey, we have two people with a low BMI in the trial (one 17-18, the other 19-20). Both are following the program fully. I have noticed that people with a very low BMI lose much less weight with the fasts than overweight people, so I would tentatively say "yes" to success following the program, although there will still be a little weight loss. Fortunately it is easy to gain back after the 5-day fasts, even with 1-2 meals a day keto. At the end of the day, if a person has a GBM, we treat that as the priority and use different methods to minimize weight loss should the BMI be <20, but so far it's not been a problem. Best, Matt.
