Thank you so much for your very informative and well researched contribution. The excerpt that you included was very interesting and hopefully will yield some positive outcomes for those with cancer. For me, the question provoked by this theory is this: If we can accept the proposition that cancer may be the outcome of metabolic overload, can it be treated as you would a metabolic problem once cancer is present. In other words, can the strategies that you so very effectively employed to lower your risk be tweaked to address the conditions present in cases where the threshold of producing cancer has been reached.
That idea is less clear to me, especially as Dr Attia points to a host of other diseases and conditions, including diabetes, autoimmune and alzheimers are connected to metabolic processes gone awry. It seems as though by continually stressing our bodies we can reach a point of no return in terms of disease progression where pure metabolic-based correction strategies can make us healthier but will not be sufficient to deal with the additional disease, eg. diabetes, cancer or other....I suppose this gives us more to study in the future.
Thank you for stimulating more thought about these important ideas. All the best....

Thanks for your comment!
I watched a few more videos from Thomas Seyfried, PhD. yesterday and just started his book, which I also received yesterday.
Seyfried’s Metabolic Therapy is outside of SoC practice, so he’s focusing his efforts on areas where mainstream medicine has had the absolute worst results…for example, multicentric glioblastoma.
In other words, where patients have no hope of any SoC protocol that has been demonstrated to provide a significant benefit towards the prevention of certain, short term death.
https://glioblastomafoundation.org/news/glioblastoma-multiforme“The average life expectancy for glioblastoma patients who undergo treatment is 12-15 months and only four months for those who do not receive treatment.”
According to Seyfried, no significant life extension results have been seen in treating these poor folks, via SoC practices, although much has been attempted.
I suppose if he can demonstrate his Press-Pulse methodology with medical doctors willing to try something that improves on the “total failure” of current SoC practice for this horrible class of cancer, then those in control of mainstream medicine may begin to listen to what he is advocating for other classes of cancer…an interesting strategy to say the least!
I did find a short video where Seyfried explains how they currently target glutamine in his Press Pulse methodology.
Please know that I am not a doctor AND I have not tried keto (much less water fasting) AND I’m not advocating for this approach.
At this point, I’m still in “research mode” regarding ALL treatment options that are backed by science and have demonstrated measurable positive results; while demonstrating minimal or, hopefully, NO negative side effects.
