These pages designed to keep track of my research on cancer. Since my journey on the Ketogenic lifestyle I have an abundance of mental energy. I have an unquenced thirst to learn, and now the energy to research. As I have stated elsewhere on this site, this is a side affect of being on the ketogenic diet:) I started my interest in being healthy in my early 20's when a friend asked my to go to his gym and lift weights. He taught me how to lift, later I became a dedicated gym rat, that lasted for years, starting during my 20's, 30's and into my 40's. Which brings me cancer research as a result of Keto. Say what? What is Ron talking sbout?
While researching the Ketogenic diet, I read about Dr Jocelyn Tan, a practicing US medical oncologist based in Pennsylvania who works at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center and is a faculty member at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, who treats people with cancer using the Ketogenic diet.
Dr. Seyfried is a professor of Biology at Boston College, and received his Ph.D. in Genetics and Biochemistry from University of Illinois.
He published a groundbreaking treatise entitled, Cancer as a Metabolic Disease: On the Origin, Management, and Prevention of Cancer (Wiley, 1st ed., 2012).
The treatise provides extensive information showing that cancer can be best defined as a mitochondrial metabolic disease rather than as a genetic disease. This new concept has implications for the development of new non-toxic cancer therapies including the ketogenic diet.
