now that I understand the macro the macrofagos in the immune system um and glutamine this is where I think I struggle with Professor seford suppressing the glutamine because I think I got it under control of the glucose and K Carrie sent me the keto Mojo and your uh your your ratio the the gki I I I've got that under control and I'm doing well with diet in terms of suppressing my glucose with the carnivore diet in particular and um Al pretty good with fasting because I fast every other week I actually I haven't eaten all day today I'm going in for chemo I normally do a four to five day fast around chemo so I'm suppressing the glucose quite quite a bit I I think I struggle with the glutamine part and and that and that makes a lot of sense
if you do this fasting and do some good exercise walking many miles and some moderate lifting you can actually lower glutamine levels also so the exercise component while fasting will will will lower uh my my late good friend George Cahill who is the president of the Joslin Diabetes Center down here in boson um he did all kinds of studies on diabetic patients and he was able to share me many of his findings which of course I've adapted now over to the cancer population but he was able to show uh the transitions that normal cells can make from one fuel uh to another Fuel and showing that blood glutamine can actually go down in fasted people that are exercising
does it work how many people can live far longer with a higher quality of life if they incorporate metabolic therapy either alone or with what you're we're doing Jeff with with standards of care so um absolutely oppos uh my colleagues my colleagues from uh turkey have used uh standards of care common chemo drugs but at much much lower concentrations when patients are in nutritional ketosis so you can maintain the the power of the the drug and minimize the uh collateral toxicity to the body
the situation is I don't know how many of these guys that was told you got nine months 10 months one year here and they're all out there doing fine smiling you know part of the part of the the the evidence that we're accumulating that this stuff actually does work
