Strike Two
As some of you may know, my cancer has returned and is now in my liver and possibly my lungs. I found out four days before starting as prop master on a movie ("The World Made Straight" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2420166/fullcredits?ref_=tt_cl_sm#cast ).
The doctors wanted me to come in immediately for a PET scan and a biopsy. I told them I was apposed to biopsies (I believe they release the cancer cells into your system) and that I could not come in until I was finished with the movie in mid April. Instead I have gone on a strict variation of the Ketone diet. http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2013/03/10/ketogenic-diet.aspx
The theory is that cancer feeds on sugar - glucose that is produced by carbohydrates (and sugar of course). By cutting carbs from your diet, your body starts burning fat as its energy source instead. Apparently cancer cells, for some reason, can not survive on a fat diet and die. The trick is not eating any carbs and eating good fats that will fuel your healthy cells. The other important thing to watch is your PH level. The ketone diet will drop your PH levels, so I have been taking lots of supplements including Alkalinity Salts. In a previous blog I stated that salt was bad for you. I was wrong. It is the highly processed salt that is bad. Unfortunately, most processed food is full of the bad salt. Even sea salt is bad if it is processed. The body has a hard time processing the bad salts and puts them away as fat for a future time that never comes. If you use the Alkalinity salts, you can use as much as you like.
I will let you know how my tests turn out at the end of April.
P.S. Caffeine and Alcohol are also off the diet. #%$###
