1064 booksThe ketogenic diet is a natural, non-toxic metabolic therapy being studied and utilized for cancer prevention and treatment. It works because cancer cells are dependent upon a constant supply of blood sugar (glucose) to stay alive.
Normal cells can make energy from both glucose and ketones (a kind of chemical by-product of burning fat), but most cancer cells can only use glucose. Avoiding carbohydrates (starch and sugar) while enjoying delicious and healthy protein and fats will lower blood glucose and increase blood-ketone levels, resulting in a normal body state called nutritional ketosis.
Research has shown that nutritional ketosis starves cancer cells while nourishing normal cells and strengthening total body health. This essential, fully referenced book provides step-by-step instructions for customizing the diet for yourself or a loved one. It also explains the cutting-edge research on ketogenic therapies, written in an easy-to-understand manner that you can absorb in even just a few minutes of reading time.

The book explores the link between a ketogenic diet and cancer. Davis suggests that cancer cells thrive on glucose and that a ketogenic diet, which reduces glucose levels, can potentially slow cancer growth.
Davis provides practical tips and advice on how to implement the ketogenic diet in your daily life. From meal planning to dealing with potential side effects, she guides you through the process step by step.
Fight Cancer with a Ketogenic Diet is not just based on theories. Davis digs into scientific research and studies that support the effectiveness of the ketogenic diet in fighting cancer.
