Brief Summary
This video discusses a protocol for fighting stage 4 cancer, featuring an interview with Guy Tenenbaum, who was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer six years ago and is still alive. The protocol involves prolonged fasting, a fasting-mimicking diet, and a natural approach to blocking the enzyme SCOT, which allows cancer cells to use ketones for fuel. The video also highlights things to avoid when you have cancer, such as iron and calcium supplements.
- Prolonged fasting and a fasting-mimicking diet can help starve cancer cells.
- Blocking the SCOT enzyme with natural remedies can prevent cancer cells from using ketones for fuel.
- Avoiding iron and calcium supplements is crucial as they can feed cancer cells.
Introduction: What is stage 4 cancer?
The video begins by introducing the topic of stage 4 cancer, also known as metastatic cancer. This type of cancer has spread to at least one organ, and in Guy's case, it spread to his bones. The typical lifespan for someone with stage 4 cancer is a few weeks to a few months, with rare cases lasting up to a year. However, Guy has been living with stage 4 cancer for six years, which is remarkable.
Welcome, Guy Tenenbaum!
Dr. Berg welcomes Guy Tenenbaum, who is a survivor of stage 4 cancer. Dr. Berg emphasizes that the information shared in the video is not meant to replace medical advice and viewers should consult their doctor before implementing any of the discussed protocols.
Guy’s cancer story
Guy shares his experience with being diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. Doctors told him there was no treatment available as the cancer was too widespread. He was advised to simply enjoy the rest of his life. Guy, however, refused to accept this prognosis and actively sought alternative treatments.
Prolonged fasting and cancer
Dr. Berg and Guy discuss the role of prolonged fasting in fighting cancer. Guy explains that he engaged in prolonged fasting, including periods of up to 40 days, and believes that ketones played a crucial role in his recovery. He emphasizes the importance of varying fasting durations to prevent cancer cells from adapting to a routine.
The fasting-mimicking diet
Dr. Berg introduces the fasting-mimicking diet, developed by Valter Longo, as an alternative for those who cannot engage in prolonged fasting. This diet involves consuming 800 calories per day for five days, primarily consisting of vegetables, extra virgin olive oil, and herbs. The diet aims to mimic the hormonal shifts that occur during fasting.
Can cancer survive on ketones?
Dr. Berg discusses the theory that cancer cells can survive on ketones. He mentions a study led by Maurice Israel that investigated the role of the SCOT enzyme in allowing cancer cells to utilise ketones. The study explored natural SCOT inhibitors, which showed promising results in animal models.
Guy’s continued fight against cancer
Guy shares his ongoing efforts to prevent cancer relapse. He emphasizes the importance of finding multiple approaches to combat cancer, as it can adapt and find ways to survive. He believes that ketones were instrumental in his initial recovery but acknowledges the need for additional strategies to prevent relapse.
Things to avoid if you have cancer
Dr. Berg highlights several things to avoid when you have cancer, including iron and calcium supplements. He explains that these substances can feed cancer cells. He also recommends avoiding dairy products and emphasizes the importance of maintaining adequate vitamin D levels to support the immune system. Dr. Berg suggests moderate exercise, such as walking, and managing stress levels.
