In Episode 31 of “Jimmy Moore Presents: Ask The Low-Carb Experts,” we take on a subject matter that will undoubtedly be the wave of the future in the coming years regarding how we treat cancer patients. Philadelphia physician Dr. Colin Champ from the “Caveman Doctor” blog and the hit iTunes health podcast “Relentless Roger & The Caveman Doctor” is currently involved in studying a topic that is very near and dear to his heart that happens to be what we discussed in this week’s ATLCX podcast. The hot topic we’ll be taking on in Episode 31 is “Ketogenic Diets & Cancer” which is gaining a lot of traction amongst researchers looking for nutritional solutions to this horrible disease.
Dr. Champ is completing his specialty training in radiation oncology and has a keen interest in the dietary effects of carbohydrate restriction on the prevention and treatment of cancer. The connection between our modern American diet, obesity and cancer has been quite remarkable, and Dr. Champ hopes that the work he is doing can help people fight all three. You may have already read his recent review article published in the scientific journal International Journal Of Breast Cancer entitled “Weight Gain, Metabolic Syndrome, and Breast Cancer Recurrence: Are Dietary Recommendations Supported by the Data?” and we’re seeing some truly incredible health benefits from carbohydrate-restricted diets for people dealing with this terrible disease.
Dr. Champ took on so many excellent questions about how ketogenic diets may play a role in the treatment of cancers. Listen in to hear what Dr. Colin Champ had to say about ketogenic diets and cancer in EPISODE 31 that aired LIVE on October 18, 2012.
Listen to Dr. Colin Champ share about “Ketogenic Diets And Cancer”:
There’s a BIG connection between ketogenic diets and cancer
We know that it is working to get rid of tumor cells
But we don’t know why it works…but it does work
We’re working backwards to figure out the details about why
One way it can work is by starving cancer cells of glucose
Otto Warburg said that cancer was caused by the uptake of glucose
Limiting glucose (low-carb or ketogenic) would lower blood glucose
Blood glucose is connected with survival in various studies
Deficient and defective mitochondria is possibly why glucose is used
With cancer cells whether there’s oxygen or not, glucose taken up
Ramp up mitochondria (by eating fat and some protein), work better
You can end up killing cancer cells if mitochondria is increased
Ketogenic diet is ramping up our defense against cancer
Our cells are being “constantly bombarded by free radicals”
Cancer cells have increased free radicals…we don’t know why
Cancer cells need more than just fuel to survive (hormones)
IGF-1 receptor and insulin play a HUGE role in cancer growth
Increasing the pathway that stops the growth, including…
Metformin, carbohydrate restriction and more
When in ketosis, chemotherapy tends to be a lot more effective
What the main difference is between low-carb and ketogenic diets
About 50g carbohydrates daily will have you “pump out the details”
But there are varying levels of carbohydrate to get into ketosis
Brain tumor cells can raise cortisol which raises blood sugar
This is why a ketogenic diet may be good for brain cancer patients
Glutomate is an issue to get the blood glucose down
Cancer is a personal subject and people may not vocalize concerns
What he’s currently working on with ketogenic diets and cancer
His next paper will examine calorie restriction (carb restriction)
It will be a manual on doing IF and ketogenic diet for cancer
Average blood glucose in his patients is extremely high
It’s no coincidence 10 different diseases improved with low-carb
The ketogenic diet right now is still “experimental” for cancer
Looking forward to sharing my interview with Dr. Eugene Fine
