Collin, I'm familiar with the benefits of low-carb, healthy fat eating and intermittent fasting. Did you know that there is a support group dedicated to it here on Mayo Clinic Connect? See here:

- LCHF Living & Intermittent Fasting https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/lchf-living-intermittent-fasting/

I hope you and @otis will join the discussions there as you learn and to share info with others.

@otis123 No problem. 🙂 @Colleen Young Thanks, I'll check it out! As I've done more research on cancer, I've found this similar kind of diet aids in treating all sorts of chronic diseases. I'm still learning, but it seems to be a really undervalued part of health and disease focus. Which makes sense that food would be one's greatest medicine as it dictates most of the mass and biological processes that constitute our beings. Also- another speaker on this ketogenic diet for brain cancer is Miriam Kalamian. When her son failed on all standard therapies, she started him on a restricted keto diet which they eventually made his sole therapy. During this time his tumor shrunk then stabilized, buying him 5-10 years before he died of other complications. Finally, Guy Tenenbaum had another kind of stage 4 cancer, along with type II diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, joint and bone pain, chronic inflammation, and weight problems. A similar strict diet eventually became his monotherapy along with serious fasting and he's now free of all these ailments and doing well. As for my dad, he's lost 20 pounds, experienced less anxiety and has a more clear mind with no lingering deficits or side effects. I really think there's something to this and I hope time proves me right.
