Cancer cells rely on glucose and glutamate for fuel. Research has shown that restricting your intake of carbohydrates can kill cancer cells. The 20-gram keto diet is severely limited in carbohydrates. The diet has been used safely to treat cancer, epilepsy, diabetes, and other metabolic disorders under the care of a health practitioner.
My keto diet consists of 20 grams of net carbs, 50 grams of protein, and the rest of the calories as fat. I use olive oil, nuts, and MCT oil to balance my fat intake. I grow organic vegetables indoors, hydroponically in the winter, and outside in the summer. I eat cancer fighting foods recommended in Dr William Li ‘s books.
I am also trying a combination of therapies to fight Cancer.

I'm learning how to do this as well. I work with a holistic doctor who recommended a metibolic syndrome diet. I try really hard to follow it most of the time, but other then periodic blood test we are not looking for ketosis.
I've read the Wahl Protocol. I haven't been able to get to the most corrective diet Dr Wahl recommends because I've lost a lot of weight. I'm 5'4" and today I weighed in a 109. Since starting this diet in July I've lost about 15 pounds. I don't feel bad. My ribs don't show through my skin, but I think I look to small and I've been accused of starving myself.
I have an app to measure macronutrients and micronutrients. I have yet to be able to get my carbohydrates under 50.
I guess I'm telling you all that because I'm interested in any advice that you have.
