I was diagnosed with stage IV melanoma Jan 2006. Have gone through IL2, clinical trials and surgery. My last surgery Nov 2007. Luckily my tumors have stayed in the small intestine. I have been on a 15 gram a day carb & 65 gram protein diet since end of Dec 2007. The doctor I have been seing wants to starve the cancer by not giving it any sugars. Jan 2008 PET scan showed I was NED. I was just wondering if anyone else has heard any reports on low carb diets or if they are doing this.
Hi there. Hav look at my poswtng on Ketogenic diets which I am going. Theory is:
- Canver cells are weak.
- Starve body of glucose with diet of 4 units of fat to one unit of ptotein/carb.
- Normal cells can convert fat for energy.
Cancer cells cannot and die.
- UNproven but I am convinced it owtks....very, very difficult to do though.
All the best, Steve in Singapore
