I'm waiting on a biopsy of my lymph taken on Friday to come in sometime this week hopefully.

Thanks that is reassuring, I'm going to try it but I already don't eat any animal products either, so whats left?
I'm waiting on a biopsy of my lymph taken on Friday to come in sometime this week hopefully. What happened is since I got the Flu around New Years, I've had swollen nodes/glands and paranoid with the environment being so polluted (its like one smokes half a pack to a full pack a day, even if they don't) and the radiation and Wifi and cell phones.Swollen to the size of grapes in some areas and the doctor lanced them they went down nicely but others popped up. I tested neg for any "infection". But would tests pick up some sort of dormant MRSA? (My doc couldnt answer that with 100% certaintly except don't worry about it)
What else are you doing to treat the BC?

You can also go into ketosis from a diabetic process but this is a disease process and not a healthy normal one.

The difference between ketosis and ketoacidosis.

OP a short answer is no….
The reasons why are all to do with some rather complicated biochemistry, its been quite some time since I have gone over this but to give you a quick summary our cells metabolise glucose to create energy called adenosintriposphate ATP ( I bet I spelled that wrong!). In the absence of glucose our cells start to use up other products to create the fuel required by cells to produce the energy they require to keep a muscle moving for example. However during periods of starvation When there is no glucose available the blood starts to eat up the fatty adipose tissue and then starvation starts to set in it then moves on to eating up proteins in the mussels and in other places, essentially the body eats itself. So if your hypothesis is that you could starve carcinogenic cells and bugs like MRSA then the answer is no, because all that would happen is that the cancer cells would start to eat up the adipose tissue and protein’s in the body, that is why cancer patients lose weight.
The Akins diet is based on a low carb method and it is actually quite bad for you, yes you will lose weight but it’s not a healthy option our bodies are made to metabolise carbs. It should be avoided in my opinion if you have cancer because a low or zero carb diet only means that your body is going to start using up the fats and proteins it might relay on later down the road of your illness.
Diet and illness is actually a very interesting topic people get all hyped up about certain things go out spending a fortune on vitamin supplements and they avoid particular foods branded as “health” when they are actually “dangerous”. For example so called low-salt is not healthy, they take the sodium out but they put potassium in, if you have cardiac problems you could end up worst case having a heart attack, same thing goes if you stalk up of vitamins every day, you’re going to put your bloods of and many will interfere with drugs (Vitamin K and Warfarin for example). The best thing you can do is have a well-balanced diet and speak to a doctor, nurse or if you can a dietician (a proper one)

Would this approach work?
Over the years, several years ago come to think of it, I have read tidbits of articles here and there suggesting MRSA and possibly pre/cancerous cells can remain dormant in the bloodstream and/or organs/organelles, even after aggressive treatments like IV antibiotics (in the case of bac infection) and chemotherapy (in the case of cancer).
However, will this work? I searched ATS prior to posting this up and didnt find a particular concern to match, on that note, that while it sounds good, is it really feasible?
What about the brain. Wouldn't starrving the body of sugar, also starve the brain of glucose? Doesn't the brain need sugar (in additiona to protein, minerals, etc)? If carbs aren't in the diet, can the brain function? Where does it get its fuel from?
Would the fda and/or ama endorse these treatments if helpful? Why or why not?
Disclaimer:By the way, no articles nor references were used in this post/thread.. only my brain and experience over the years.
