- Just like our healthy cells, malignant cancer cells need energy to survive. Dr. Sophia Lunt explains how she intends to cut off cancer cells' survival potential, and pioneer a new way of halting their growth.
Dr. Sophia Lunt began her training in metabolism at Princeton University, where she received her Ph.D. studying the metabolic consequences of the antibiotic drug trimethoprim. As a postdoctoral fellow at MIT, she focused on cancer metabolism, and was awarded the CDMRP PRCRP Visionary Postdoctoral Fellowship from the Department of Defense to support her research. She currently runs a research lab focused on cancer metabolism at Michigan State University.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
My Mum died of cancer this year and in the hospital half the food they served was full of sugar. I hate our public health system.
Same thing happened to both my parents over 10 years ago. Thomas Seyfried is the best researcher on this. Cancer also uses glutamine as well as glucose.
I’m so sorry for your loss
Hospital diets are terrible for nutrition and disease. I spent one year going through chemotherapy at one of the most respected hospitals in the US. I would not eat the food, so I brought my own each time I checked in to the hospital. So sorry you lost your mother to cancer.
May God's love and blessings to you and your family.. Mom is now resting peacefully.. 🙏😇
Shame on them. My youngest son died from leukemia and the hospital had a chief cook whatever the children wanted nomatter how it helped cancer thrive & divide.
I had stage 3 ovarian cancer in 2020. I am in remission and I am sticking with Keto and Intermittent fasting for the rest of my life.
Congrats... would you share with me how you eat, what you eat?
Do share deets loretta and take care
Try a 7 or 21 day water fast. I’m going on one right now
@aNgÉlica dEl ciELo Over the years I went from 16:8 to 18:6. Lately I started doing OMAD.
@@tayhaanderson2287 Do OMAD. Eat veggies and meat.
Words cant express my gratitude for igrotum. Its providing relief and healing during a challenging time.
What is igrotum?
Why is TH-cam better for my health than every doctor I’ve ever seen?
Doctors do tend to be idiots, but so is this lady.
Cancer cells not only use glucose and fructose sugars as fuel sources, but also ketones that also promote cancer metastases, lactate, fatty acids and some amino acids. Therefore, cancer cells cannot be starved. And cutting out all sugar, even if it could be done will not make a difference.
Furthermore, around 95% of cancers have origins from viral infections. To a lesser extent bacterial infections, mycotxins, radiation and in extremely rare cases parasites. Cutting out sugars do not address the causes of cancer either.
Preach
TH-cam still allows "alternative" health information. Most doctors haven't been trained on this information and most don't seek it out.
I stop consulting Dr coz I have suffer from them gave me meds for bp when my numbers are just a little over the normal I suffered chest pain after taking it I stop taking it after a week and chest pain gone. I don’t trust them anymore. I just listen to drs at TH-cam Dr berg Dr Mendel Dr Patel and a few more drs and practitioners. I listen to all of their explanation and I follow what I think is safe for me and more.
Your insurance sucks
I was diagnosed with cancer but none of my doctors had ever said to me not to eat sugar. Wtf!?
David Chan $$$
David Chan they don’t care,
Because there is no scientific evidence of this yet on randomized controlled trials. Until there is enough studies and metanalysis no doctor should recommend this, it would be unethical for them to do so.
Follow the money!
David Chan they were poor consultant
It's a shame that all this research has been done over the years but yet cancer is still so prevalent and deadly. I tend to think the medical establishment doesn't want to cure it because treating it is so much more profitable.
The last thing they want is a cure for cancer, no money in it but there's a ton of money to be made if your treatment is way overpriced and totally ineffective.
To quote Aldous Huxley, "Medical science is making such remarkable progress that soon none of us will be well."
Nuremberg.knowingly let people die slow painful and horrible deaths.poisons for profit.wheres all the cures I called st Jude's and similar

It’s so nice to see someone speaking the truth about sugar and cancer, a lot of the info on TH-cam has been removed. Trying to show a friend that cancer feeds of sugar.
Earthing is a natural way to prevent and fight cancer and other health problems and it's easy to DIY a grounding mat, pillow or sheet yourself. You can also drink with metal cup that's connect to earthing.
A lot has been removed? Bull. I’ve been watching videos on this topic all year! TH-cam remove conspiracy theories about the pandemic and that’s the difference.
Eating sugar does not make cancer worse. Not eating sugar does not make cancer go away.
@@haileymccarthy7718 Earthing? Hilarious quackery.
@@DukeGMOLOL That's quite the pronouncement, that eating sugar or not, has nothing to do with cancer. What's the proof?
I am a nurse. I have had 3 patients who happened to have cancer and their cancer was stage 4 and all went to other countries to do a special fasting with a doctor at a clinic that does this treatment to treat cancer. They all were cured. I was in aw. I saw 2 of them that was before and after going and went to Mexico. The other patient who had gone to Europe years ago. Fasting can treat cancer even stage 4 cancer!!!!
Fasting does not kill cancer cells nor does it address the cause of cancers, which in most cases is viral infections.
@@Hveragerthi i don't know about other cancers but melanoma is not a viral infection
@@Hveragerthi Fasting does kill cancer cells. Look at Thomas Seyfried's research at Boston College and Yale.
@@a_missippian Then what is the cause of melanoma specifically?
@@marcv2648 Fasting DOES NOT kill cancer cells. Cancer cells can use glucose (which is also produced by the body when blood glucose is low), fructose, ketones, lactate, fatty acids and some amino acids as fuel sources. Therefore, since they use various fuel sources including those produced by the body they cannot be starved.
In addition, fasting has been shown to suppress thyroid function, which is why the metabolism slows down during periods of starvation. And hypothyroidism is known to increase levels of inflammatory homocysteine linked to the formation of cancer and heart disease.
I had brain cancer this past year (Sep 2020) and went on the Keto diet, which doesn't allow for any sugar or carbs in my diet. It's been difficult but I'm used to it now and things have gone great.
Ketones are one of various fuel sources used by cancer cells. Ketones have also been shown to promote cancer cell metastases by lowering pH to allow activation of proteolytic enzymes that allow metastases.
@@Hveragerthi so are you saying by helping to get my cancer to go away I'm also helping to have something bad to happen to me in the future?
@@matts82581 how are you?
@@matts82581 So encouraging! Glad for your positive results!
How you doing now?
Fast food restaurants on every corner, nonstop pharmaceutical commercials on TV, sugar in every thing bottled and packaged
🤔hmmm
And every jackass alive takes their kids to the mcdonalds. Loading up the french fries and sugar shakes.
@@Jblah Whoa buddy! Let’s don’t talk about McDonald’s fries. Watch your mouth!
And you choose to eat it.
Dont put the blame on others.
@@nonenone2669 You’re a negative person.
@@DontStopBrent Yeah, thats something someone who can't take responsibility for themselves would say.
I lost my grandson as well 2020, and my daughter and I couldn’t believe the amount of sugar that was in his diet while he was hospitalized!
So sorry for your loss. Sending love and prayers
Sue.
I was a sugarholic - diagnosed w/colon cancer/ tumor. I was cured thru operation - no more sugar in my diet. Not one doctor warned me about sugar.
What stage was your cancer at?
@Saporah bonnette
why would they when they want your money. the majority of healthcare in America is about 'profit' not saving life. its unfortunate but, its reality...i pray you have a speedy recovery thru having incorporated a healthier lifestyle. fasting, exercising and staying away from SUGAR, Processed foods, and SODAS.
well, its bad sugars. not healthy fruit type sugars one makes naturally from organic fruits. thats different.
Great job 👏🏼
I stopped ALL sugar intake 5 weeks ago........I CANNOT UNDERSTATE what my body feels like.......SUGAR IS FOR SURVIVAL IN LIFE THREATENING PERIODS ONLY. Excellent speech.
even unadded sugar?, like natural sugars in milk?
@@ethantran3765 Yes, ANY SUGAR. I use heavy cream in my coffee, and monk fruit for sweetener. I drink lemon water with a dash of erithrytol to take away the bitterness. I follow the Glycemic Index for recommendations. If it has sugar or maltodextrin I will not eat it. It's very hard to get used to eating thus way, but once your body gets used to it ALL the cravings stop.
@@hecklerkoch2446 Truth bro!
I'm not too concerned with my sugar intake, I only have two cups of coffee a day and use two teaspoons of raw sugar. Started intermittent fasting and lost 10kg in five months and feel much better for it.
@@hecklerkoch2446 Quite right, your body manufactures all the glucose you require.
My friend's wife was told she had three months to live and the doctors said it was a waste to do chemo. So my friend went to Tijuana and picked up some laetrile for her. She changed her diet. Ten years later, she was alive and well.
Can you share more details about that
@@jitenvadhavana3702 That is all I know about that situation. My friend Larry only told me what I have written. Unfortunately, I didn't go into detail about the diet. This was about 25 years ago. But I do know now, that a plant based diet was probably used. Also, blend walnuts, asparagus, and avocado in a blender with some water. That heals cancer. Don't eat sugar. Cancer feeds on sugar. Also go out in nature. Nature will raise your vibration. So will meditation.
@@pjdelucala thanks brother for information, it will help my father to fight against cancer
@@jitenvadhavana3702 My sincere pleasure. But if he has started Chemo, then it may not work. Chemo destroys the immune system.
Laetrile (amygdalin) does not cure cancer. The concept is supposed to be that the cyanide formed will kill the cancer cells while the healthy cells enzymatically break down the cyanide in to a harmless thiocyanate. The problem is that the healthy cells break down the the most of not all the small amounts of cyanide formed long before it can reach most cancer cells.
This is one of the problems with testimonials. They tend to leave out many facts, such a other things the person did that actually do work. When people get a cancer diagnosis they often do multiple things such as changes in diet, supplements, etc. Then if they get cured they pick one thing to give credit to.
I am so proud watching this I from Detroit and I'm in Phoenix Arizona currently she's very smart and intelligent and I'm glad she is putting her time and effort to fighting this disease I'm proud of you... you go girl
don't expect anything.. Dr Gerson knew this about sugar and much more.. had many successful clinics going in the 50s and look what happened to him.. you can still obtain this successful treatment.. in Mexico
What about honey??
This comment section is golden , salute to you guys stay safe everybody 😊
I wear a seatbelt...?
And Everyone needs to change their PCV valves
Learned more from reading comments below than from watching this talk.
same!
I say, Sometimes, I learn more in the hall than I do in the classroom.
At least you think you did.
TheOtherMike soo true! LOL. Its almost like saying I learned more from my facebook feed.
Exactly... if you are diagnosed with cancer start with a water/dry fast and you will be cured... if not you can then try chemo
My friend had stage 3 colon cancer. After much much prayer, surgery to remove the tumor, and a complete diet change (she removed all refined sugars) she is now cancer free 10yrs. She didn’t do chemo. Chemo causes cancer. Look up the side effects.
SO GOOD !
My Mum died of Cancer this year and in the hospital half the food they served was full of sugar! I hate our public health system!!😂❤
A lesson in concise communication: "Sugar feeds cancer. Stop eating it." 99% of the people watching won't have a clue what's being said. Keep it simple! :)
Some of us want the complicated truth. Not everyone is simple!
@@kathleenholt6008 to make sure everyone effectively receives the message, pretend you are speaking to a 5 year old child. When this becomes a habit, humanity will be in peace! 🥰
Yeah, that's not science - and we're here for the story. :-)
@@zakariadalil based on what?
@@kathleenholt6008 you said it.. some of us, not most of us 🌷
One of the most clear, articulate, positive, powerful speakers I've seen!!
For Sure!!!! It was Amazing!!!
Your remark is fantastic. I plan to launch my own TH-cam channel dedicated to health-related issues. Food intake, exercise, the impact of harmful mood behaviors on our health, and so forth. It would be extremely helpful if you could take a minute to complete my questionnaire. Before I begin, I need to finish some medical research, and your short written contribution will be very welcomed.
Do you have a minute now or later?
Yes not sure if u researched William Li as well. Also a great speaker
Great speaker. Very informative.
My mother is a cancer survivor. Her sugar intake was very less but still she got cancer. So there is much more to cancer than sugar.
Yes but you have to start somewhere to prevent it 👻👻👻
Many foods break down to glucose, glucose is what she's talking about. Bread is metabolised to glucose, same as pasta, rice, potatoes cereals ,processed carbs. Maybe we think we're eating healthily but it actually carb loaded and our blood glucose is chronically elevated.
Fasting is different from low intake of sugar. During fasting, insulin is not secreted. I guess, during this period, in the absence of insulin, the body heals and repairs.
Cancer use lipids when no sugar available.
carbs become sugar;it doesn't necessarily have to be sweets, it could be as simple as bread or fruit
I love how you were positive as you went about the diagnosis. I am a 10-year survivor of CLL. I was diagnosed in 2012. Today I remain positive like you and I claim my healing. I would like to use my story to encourage others. You are doing a great job.
Congratulations . I wish you a long and happy life . But can I ask you which stage was your cancer ? Which kind of therapy you had ? And what did you do to help yourself ? Thank you .
@@metislamestiza3708 what is CLL please ?
@@metislamestiza3708 ooh . I am so sorry . May God Bless you and Heal you . Amen . Be strong and fight .
CLL as with the vast majority of cancers is induced by viral infections.
Luckily, lymphomas and leukemias are some of the easiest cancers to treat, and the most responsive to therapies.
@@metislamestiza3708 I am a cancer patient ( adenocarcinoma stade 3 ) , and would like to know what you mean . Can you explain please ? Thank you ,🙏
I love fasting daily 18 to 20hrs and working out fasted and eating after... usually ketogenic foods... and a few times a weeks one carbs but I fast every day!!!
good going,, keep it up
Wowwww. You're disciplined!
How can I fast if I’m hypoglycemic? I can’t go 3 hours without eating or I get faint and sweaty and freak out.
@@escapetoparadise2226 next best thing would probably be to go keto instead.
Can you share how you eat, what you eat?
I told my Dr. that I stopped feeding my sugar, Sugar. Ske was wondering how my bad blood work corrected itself in 3 months, now that was just for Pre-diabetes. I’m on the right track I think. I’m a Vietnam veteran and 74 with no cancer ‘yet’ maybe fasting is cleaning the junk out of by systems and not putting any sugar in ,is helping.
Good man.
Good job! I’m also pre-diabetic. And high cholesterol. Gave up sugar, alcohol, and started to intermittent fast. Hope my numbers improve like yours have!
@Mark Warner there are many videos on YT explaining the benefits.
Thx for encouraging info... veteran 70yrs old🇺🇸
Thank you, Sir, for your service.
I was diagnosed with diabetes, 7.1 A1C. After 5 months keto/intermittent fasting, 5.1 A1C! No longer diabetic, not even prediabetic! Whoop!

Pu$$y? Wait... :V
The truth about sugar and cancer has been out for a long time. But we don’t always get the proper information or assimilate that information into our diet and lifestyle because it means living a different lifestyle than most around us. It really takes getting a cancer diagnosis for many of us to be awakened to our diet habit and lifestyle. We are also surrounded by the unavailability of healthy foods and promotion of unhealthy foods. Being healthy is still our responsibility, and we ourselves have to do the hard work to fight misinformation, ingrained unhealthy lifestyle and diet choices. We can’t sit back and wait for Congress to pass laws to help us in this cancer fighting effort.
The truth about sugar and cancer has been a known myth for a long time.
So proud speaker and what she is doing for humanity. Best wishes.

-Shut the pie-hole 20hrs/day.

Tomás Andrés I was told I can have OK sugar and honey but even when the doctor suggest for me to take and sure for a meal supplement one can of ensure it has 48 g of sugar??? How is it possible for it to be OK to consume a beverage with that much sugar?
BINGO! Starvation is only the beginning though. You also have to rebuild the gut and repopulate the gut with megadosing probiotics for an extended period. Cleaning up the diet a lot for an extended period (at least months). CTRL F my comments on this video for more specific info.

The interesting thing is I didn't eat during my treatments, just the nutrition bags they administered. I truly believe it helped with my treatment. I was doing it with out even knowing I was helping myself.

This is the first time I've ever heard of a doctor telling a patient with cancer not to eat sugar
Way to go doc.
My son in law beat cancer by eating broccoli sprouts and no sugar. Dr. told him about the broccoli sprouts.
So, so glad the medical community is finally waking to this paradigm. Cancer is metabolic, and the oncogene doesn't exist. Stop wasting public money sequencing the human genome looking for the elusive oncogene. Cut out the sugar and refined carbohydrates and a host of downstream effects disappear. Kudos, Dr, Sophia.
I thought the oncogenecwas identified??! No?
You may be right, however, thiis is not what she said.
Cut out all that money making stuff.....? You must be kidding.

What a brilliant woman. Grateful for her research.
I wrote this blog for my facebook family back in November 2015...
November 13, 2015
Just got back from the Docs office, had some blood test done as part of my regular check-up. Could not be better, all is in working order :) . I work really hard on diet and exercise as a part of my daily life in an attempt to stay healthy, and hopefully slow down the aging process. At my age to avoid sickness and disease one must apply all knowledge and understanding of such things. I have seen to many of my friends fall prey to these things, to many that which are dead, dying, or just plain miserable. It sickens me at the thought, and if I could help someone to better their life, even avoid death, I am more than willing to help. I have taken several fitness, and nutrition courses over the years, and I am continually doing research to expand my knowledge. Personally, I have overcome many obstacles in my life. I cannot express enough of the importance of fresh, unprocessed whole foods along with exercise. Know what you are putting into your body. Start reading the ingredients of the products you consume. If at all possible stay away from foods with things like high fructose, aspartame, GMOs, enriched flour, etc. I was taught that if you see sugar in the first three on the ingredient list, don't buy it. Things like Cancer feed off of fats and sugars. You want to kill the Cancer, starve it. Better yet, avoid cancer altogether. Most people have a lower than normal PH balance due to the acidic foods and beverages we consume(sodas, coffee,etc.). Your PH Balance should be 7.0 or higher to avoid getting sick. Alkalize your body by eating high alkaline foods(Greens). You would be amazed at the amount of toxins you have in your body. Drink lots of water. Don't be afraid to get a colonic and detox. Take the time to educate yourselves. Pay attention to what your body is doing. It will usually tell you when something is wrong. Don't wait till your sick or dying, make that lifestyle change now before its too late. I do this out of love for all simply because, I Care. I understand that for many it is difficult to make such a lifestyle change even when facing death. I remember a time when I was trying to get my father to quit smoking, he was suffering, and I wanted him to be with us longer. He told me "you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink it". He was gonna live his life the way he wanted to whether or not it killed him. I know many make this choice but think about the loved ones you leave behind. Nobody wants to see someone suffer, and leave sooner than need be. A good tool to learn is that Google search box, use it...Love and Blessings...
Thank you many blessing
Wow, great response
The comment above is very right I would rather stay above neutral at 7.00 pH. I would rather be alkaline. Being alkaline you will not catch most diseases sickness ailments cancer and more. An acidic body is a body that is starving for oxygen and full of carbon dioxide which could eventually kill you. An alkaline body is full of oxygen and will not catch and get most diseases sickness ailments cancer and more. An alkaline body is excellent perfect health overall. An acidic body is in poor failing health. Needs drastic life-changing ways immediately health and diet turn around. Sure you don't catch cancer but stay acidic long enough and cancer cells will grow eventually along with a bunch of other problems. Like someone I knew that was in very poor health and their health was failing. That person said you got to die of something and the person is gone now. I tried to help him but it just wouldn't work. Their mind was made up. Because it was too hard for them to change what they eat drink and exercise was just too much.
Thank you Andy Pandy! I recently went for a mammogram because I discovered a lump recently. After the test I was told it could be cancer so we should schedule a biopsy right away! I was scared of course, but after reading your comments I have decided to postpone the biopsy and try some fasting, detoxing, and most of all cutting sugar out of my diet. I'm curious as to why the biopsy was the first option over anything else that may reduce the lump🧐 Wow, it makes me wonder do they really care or are they after the money🥺
we need more of this style of research... hopefully it won't all be drugs though. It should take into diet, exercise, intermittent fasting and many other factors
There have been a lot of doctors and scientists over the years doing this... over the last century, they get ran out of town. The allopathic system that everyone thinks we should be forced to buy into through some Medicare for all idea... does not want that kind of research.
Yea for free you can heal yourself with diet and timed eating and periodic long fasting. People who research chemicals for healing are kind of regressing honestly... People are more sick than ever with more "medicine" than ever lol backwards
Well some people only believe science and research. Fasting is something that is recommended by all religions. It's common sense that medicines are palliative but not curative. Fasting can reach the part of the body where medicine cannot.
And cure cancer forever

Don't you know that cancer feast in comments??? Go watch the video!
kidding..
Nyabaro Benson you didn't miss much. (lol)
Nyabaro Benson, actually I am changing my tune. I watched this again and actually, this video was great. She did a great job on this. The main thing I took away was, how very very important it is to stay away from sugar - always. Also, since we know that carbs turn into sugarl, then we need to also try to eat minimal carbs. But also, it was very educational how she showed us how the medical industry uses glucose to light up a persons body in order to detect cancer. That was very educational and brings her whole speech home. She completely backed up her "cancer loves sugar" statement. She did a great job! : )
Lol, same here
She knows stuff. She's on the right track. I was under the impression Warburg's discovery was in 1927 [not 1924]. He got a Nobel prize for it in 1931.
Look at what sugar does to teeth. Why would we allow it to enter our blood stream??
It's not the sugar on the teeth but on the body that causes tooth decay, etc. Sugar robs your body of the vitamins, minerals, etc it needs to function properly and that's just to digest it in the first place! Empty calories are poisonous calories! Look into Dr Weston A Price and the WAPF.
We would die Without glucose in the blood
Hydrocloric acid dissolves metals why would we allow it in our stomachs!?
Omg
. So true.. soooo true .. pefectly said
Sugar doesn't destroy teeth. It's the acid excreted by the pathogenic fungus (not bacteria) in our mouths. Acid eats through enamel. Use diluted FOOD GRADE hydrogen peroxide for mouthwash.....now THAT kills germs. And doesn't burn your mouth in the process.
I was diagnosed with stage 4 Prostate cancer 5 years ago, I was already low sugar but at that point went completely sugar free. At that time I was put on Lupron. 3 years ago I was told to get my affairs in order, I probably had a year or 18 months, never gave it a second thought kept up
with all the changes I had made especially sugar. Last labs I had done PSA .49 NO SUGAR!!!!!!!😁😁🤣👍

Thank you for comment. I’m aware of many things you said, And yes- it’s far more complex than either of our conversations.
My 9 years working oncology and a member of a research team does not compare to your dedication over 40 years.
Yet, we both know more than this space on YT could ever share.
I wish that she would give us an update on how her research is going.
Agreed
she doesn't say that cutting sugar will cure cancer, she bringing research strategy proposal, an idea
I'm looking forward for her success
Well, if cancer feeds off Suger, and you eliminate the Suger, it would have no choice but to die right?? So it's said in so many words. Let's not complicate the lesson people. Use common sense.
She can't say it. Our body makes glucose. We just overeat far too much of the stuff and it turns to a poison.
No more funding...cures are needed now! No more almost almost....
Absolutely Amazing. Many thanks for your research work and the superb presentation.
Thank you Cynthia

True.

@Mike --Mike, they did not cure their cancer through any kind of diet.
@Mike, bring them on here Mike. You said you know them, bring them on.
@Mike --Mike, you just said "they are living a healthy and happy life for years now". Either they are alive and happy or you cannot find them, which is it?
i've literally just watched macmillan video on sugar and cancer cell growth, said the exact opposite to this talk, that cancer is not affected by sugar intake. this is a major problem when trying to work out what to eat
I don't think she talked about sugar intake at all. I was expecting that but didn't hear it. The body can make sugar from protein anyway, so I can see that sugar intake might not be that impactful. She never talks about starving the patient, either, Dr. Valter Longo has worked with doctors in cancer treatment to develop a "diet" that mimics starvation because that DOES affect the efficacy of the drugs. After 4 days of water only fasting, noncancerous cells are not affected much by the chemo but the cancer cells are. The patient gets much less sick from chemo. He figured out a ratio of nutrients and a number of reduced calories that can mimic what happens durijng water fasting. Of course the company that now markets the product sells it as a weight loss tool, which is a real corruption. And it is not low carb, though not high carb, either, IN fact it is low protein.
The vast majority of cancers have been linked to viral infections. Cancer is not from diet. And cutting out sugars or fasting will not cure cancer in part because these do not address the cause.
I addition, cancer cells can use glucose, fructose, ketones, lactate, fatty acids and some amino acids as fuel sources. Since many of these are generated by the body, you cannot stave cancer.
Great to share as we come into the candy overload season
Firstly, I appreciate Dr. Sophia Lunt sharing her contributions to this field with us. I am not that knowledgeable of how these things work, but I was curious, could a diet that promotes the body to go into a state of ketosis aid in the eradication of cancer cells?
well it's simple, any method of fasting or cutting sugars will kill cancer cells bc they can't go into economy or fasting mode
@@zazugee no that's not actually true. All of us have cancerous cells in our body right at this moment. Cells in the body constantly mutate because of thousands of environmental and genetic factors. Most of the time the t cells of our body are able to kill these cancerous cells but sometimes due to specific mutations the cancerous cells are able to go incognito and avoid the t cells and grow. Long story short u can reduce the risk of cancer by leading a healthy lifestyle but there is no definite way to be immune for getting cancer. Remember that prevention is the cure.
@@ujaanguha8954 1st thing you say is "not true" without even mentionning the why
i know what you said
but the immune system have a probability of finding cancerous cells, and it's not a 100%
but before you say no do your research, there is a plethora of studies about the spread of cancerous cells
they need lot of sugars compared to normal ones
yes, everyday there are cancerous cells created, some get killed by immune system, some don't get detected
but fasting works, there are studies about it
your immune system isn't always at his peak performance
many days it loses it's efficiency or get busy fighting infections or viruses, so there are other helping means, like starving the cancerous cells
Yes it can! Check out the book Keto for Cancer. Don't listen to the mutation hype. Mutations are part of cancer cells but also part of non cancer cells. We did not evolve eating sugar and processed foods and seed oils.
@@scaryjerry4665 alot of cancer patients believed in this trying to starve out the cancer through keto and intermittent fasting, but this nutrition strategy has failed and they died. It's much more complicated but preventing cancer is the key.
Don Toleman has been talking about how to do a 40 day water fast to rid the body of terminal cancer for decades. He says he has taken many terminally ill cancer suffers and the tumors disappear after the fast. I've met him personally. He has dedicated his life to healthy foods and fasting to heal all manner of issues in the body.
Cancer cells use glucose, fructose, ketones, lactate, fatty acids and some amino acids for fuel sources. Cancer cannot be starved.
Thank you for your incredible work, Dr. Sophia! I wish you the best in starving every kind of cancer!
Cancer cells can use glucose, fructose, ketones, lactate, fatty acids and some amino acids as fuel sources. Since some of these are produced by the body, it is impossible to starve cancer cells
What did she tells us? My grandpa told me 40 years ago sugar is poison and he didn't go to any fancy school but he lived very health until 93..very healthy!
@@annmarie1689 Do you realize that glucose (sugar) is a primary fuel for the body? And that sugar is in various foods including meats? You would have to stop eating to avoid sugar.
Very informative . Whole lotta thanks for the post tbh
I've always avoided sugar and still got cancer! Vegetarian then vegan for a long time, exercising and using natural products, fasting and no drugs and alcohol; and still got cancer!
Cancer mainly happens by chance. Biggest risk factor is age. Regards.
I'm sorry to hear that but if you can contact me I might be able to help u out
@@ninap6433 --Help her out with what? Wizzle wazzle alternatives?
@@DukeGMOLOL My friend in China said that they use some kind of Indian medicines in china which is very effective than most medicines out there
@@ninap6433 --It is not true Nina. Run from that quackery. Regards.
This video is life saving!! Watching this video i realised that majority food manufacturing industries absolutely don't care of their consumers health n are only concerned about making money so it's very important not to support them by not buying their products instead support only those products that have the best ingredients and are beneficial to health so people when you go to supermarket don't load your shopping carts with all the products that are sold be it candies,cakes,excess sugar carbonated drinks,sweeteners,synthetic multivitamin etc and make their business to flourish. The point is they are making a fortune by putting our lives at risk for which the govt is not going to do anything so we need to take care of ourselves by being aware of what to buy and what to completely avoid
Ahahah they care about money dear
Great job with pace and visuals for this presentation. One thing to mention is that we shouldn't just think of candy when we think of sugar, but of carbohydrates that easily convert to glucose.
Cancer cells can use glucose, fructose, ketones, lactate, fatty acids and some amino acids for fuel sources. Since some of these are formed by the body it is impossible to starve cancer cells.
I love brilliant unselfish people. Great job dear.
Help her on her journey. Give up the sugar, and the sweets. The cereals too if you can, they're nothing but sugar as well. Live a long and happy life.
Thomas Siegfried's new book Cancer a metabolic disease ., Shows a keto diet by itself does not limit glucose if you eat unrestricted amounts. You need IF intermittent fasting and calorie restriction as well.
My friend didnt have cancer, but had a condition that was caused by junk food and had a colostomy. Said he had to eat better but his definition of healthy was still overly-processed "healthy" alternatives. Some people just will never grasp it.
Great Information Great Presentation Great Speaker
sugar gets worse when we eat canned food , which is full of preservatives. a soup made of pumpkin, onion celery and lentils is much more healthy.
I'm sorry to be a bit of a pain, but I think you'll find that there are no preservatives in cans. Cans are the preservative. There's no need to add chemicals to a can other than perhaps the sugar that it's in, or the flavouring.
SHE'S SMART. ON POINT. THANK YOU.
Great video. Thank you so much
I haven’t had refined sugar for 22 yrs but yet 8 yrs ago…I was diagnosed with non Hodgkins lymphoma…..chemo got rid of it but it still crosses my mind…
I’m a firm believer in alternative healing, Ayurveda, homeopathy but they work selectively. Homeopathy would work for some and not for others, a diet overhaul would work for some but not others yet the scientific mainstream or allopathic method works across board. A tylenol would always banish pain, antibiotics would always kill bacteria etc. No way is the scientific method perfect but it is ever evolving and will hopefully one day have the answers to everything
I had a brain tumour in 2015…my own parents both told me how long i had to live…ive ended my relationship with them and plan on living a very long fulfilling life…completely bittersweet
Oh dear, l don't get it, do you mind explaining a bit more.❓
Are ur parents at fault,❓Maybe not.

What about fruits and fructose?
Every mother in the world should see this.
Everyone in the world should fact check these claims so they know this is nonsense. You cannot starve cancer cells. Cancer cells can use glucose, fructose, ketones, lactate, fatty acids and some amino acids as fuel sources. Since many of these are produced by the body, it is impossible to starve cancer cells.
Thank you very much for this video
thank you for your work and explain ing it.
Really, really great video. 💓
Brilliant lecture though too short. Thank you for this important information that we would never hear from our Dr's
You won't learn this because the information is incorrect. You cannot starve cancer. Cancer cells can use glucose, fructose, ketones, lactate, fatty acids and some amino acids as fuel sources. Many of these are produced in the body, so again, cancer cannot be starved.
Ketones are not only a fuel source for cancer cells, but they also promote cancer cell metastases by activating enzymes such a hyaluronidase and proteolytic enzymes that allow metastases.
@@Hveragerthi I hear you but I do believe that sugar & nutrition has an effect on cancer cells. I love listening to Dr William Li & think he is quite bright & has knowledge I completely agree with
@@michy2630 Sugar and nutrition has an effect on all cells.
Although, oxygen also has an effect on cancer cells as cancer cells are highly reliant on oxygen for survival and growth. So are you going to cut out all oxygen to your body to fight cancer?
And there is so much more involved with cancer such as cancer viruses that account for around 95% of cancers. Simply cutting out sugar, even if this was possible, will not stop cancer.
@Anne I wish TH-cam would do something about these scammers. If you post proven covid information by actual medical studies that contradict the bogus government propaganda then they delete your comments immediately. Post scams like this all day long and they are still up a month later even after being reported numerous times.
Dr. Thomas Seyfried, professor at Boston University, already mentioned that cancer is a Metabolic Disease in his book ' Cancer as a Metabolic
Disease'(2012).
Yes, the quack Seyfried. Run!!
@@DukeGMOLOL You troll are everywhere aren't you. Always putting down what you are envious to be.
@@DukeGMOLOL Why is he a quack? Do you deny cancer cells feed on glucose 10-15 times the rate of normal cells? It wasn't Seyfried who discovered that. You clearly want to move people the wrong direction from helping them beat their cancer. Lowering your sugar or fasting or ketogenic diets can prevent or seriously help in your fight for cancer. This is proven time and time again troll! Keep denying the science. We all see who the quack is
Wonderful presentation Ms. Lunt..keep studying to facilitate understanding of this complex disease process!!
She needs to keep studying because she's unaware that glutamine feeds cancer too.
Excellent talk. Thank you.
Can you tell me what are her main points?
@@AlyssaMWong She probably wanted to tell us that cancer is fungus and fungus is cancer and they need food to grow and they love sugar.
I love you. God bless you and the work of your hands💜
My journey with igrotum has been incredibly positive. Its restoring my health and giving me the strength to fight.
I became a nurse bc my sister died from glioblastoma. On first impression in the hospital with her, I noticed the injustice in hospital food, which was packed full of chemicals, carbs, and sugar.
I’ve tried to encourage hospitals to change their food with no success.
Cost is their reason.
As I travel the country working in different hospital systems, I recognize the problem is systemic.
Doctors tell patients to eat more yogurt for lactobacillus, not realizing, yogurt is packed full of sugar, containing other unhealthy ingredients.
A weak immunity leads to sickness, inflammatory responses,exacerbates with Sugar intake.
Infection thrives on sugar.
So why do hospitals contribute to provide liquid sugar in drinks and high carb diets in sedentary sick patients?
Health care should practice healing nutrition, which would decrease time patient is hospitalized and decrease financial waste to our system.
It’s the simplest things we do that impact the greatest change.
If people sit behind desk and chase data, they will continue to wonder why they can’t fix their problems.
Cancer cells can use glucose, fructose, ketones, lactate, fatty acids, and some amino acids as fuel sources. Some of these are produced by the body, so simply cutting out sugars does not work.
True- when I was in the hospital the breakfast the next morning was a sugar bomb. I rarely ate sugar so I got out of there as fast as possible.
@@Hveragerthi you are correct. However, Excessive sugar consumption may potentially contribute to cancer through various mechanisms. High sugar intake can lead to insulin resistance and elevated insulin levels, which may stimulate cancer cell growth. Sugar can also promote inflammation in the body, creating an environment favorable for cancer development. Diets high in sugar often lead to obesity, a known risk factor for several types of cancer, and can encourage uncontrolled cell division. Additionally, high sugar intake may weaken the immune system's ability to combat cancer cells. While the relationship between sugar and cancer is complex and ongoing research is needed, reducing added sugar intake as part of a balanced, healthy diet is generally recommended for overall health and cancer risk reduction.
@@AwakenedVibration Actually, about 95% of cancers have been linked to viral infections. To a lesser extent bacteria, mycotoxins, radiation and in very rare cases from parasites.
The insulin promoting cancer growth is true as cancer cells have a higher level of insulin receptors, which makes sense as the cancer cells have a higher metabolic rate and thus have a higher need for glucose as a fuel source. Stimulating growth though is not the same as causing the cancer.
Also keep in mind that in some places they use insulin potentiation therapy to treat cancer.
And there is more to your claim being overlooked anyway such as the fact that sugar can deplete magnesium and chromium, which leads to closing of insulin receptors, although these can also be replenished with diet and supplements, which is often the case.
As for inflammation, again there is so much more involved with this than you realize such as the role of the adrenal glands in controlling inflammation and the various sources of inflammation outside of sugar such as elevated homocysteine levels or arachidonic acid levels from animal products.
Also keep in mind that it is believed that inflammation increases the risk of cancer through increased free radical formation. On the other hand, are you aware that radiation therapy and many chemo drugs work on the principle of destroying cancer cells through the formation of free radicals? Same with ozone therapy and how the body itself destroys cancer cells when they can be detected.
Many things are considered a risk factor, such as obesity. That does not make these a cause of cancer. And obesity has a number of causes. By the way, what is the cancer rate among sumo wrestlers?
And proof that sugar can cause uncontrolled cell division?
And yes, sugar can interfere with immunity. Do you know why? You are overlooking a very important point though .Cancer cells are RARELY ever detected by the immune system, even when the immune system is working properly. This is because cancer cells have means, such as HCG coatings, that allow the cancer cells to evade immune detection in almost all cases. This has been well known for decades. I have been aware of this fact from the science for over 40 years.

Good morning ❤️❤️❤️
My sister has been diagnosed with stage 4 liver cancer and bone cancer - Chris has a healing session with Joe Dispenza s group on may 17th at 7:00AM Im asking everyone to join in meditating at the same time for her healing - If you could also join in at home at the same time that morning and meditate / pray for her healing - I’m trying to get as big a group as possible to pray at the same time - I will greatly appreciate it . ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE ! ❤️❤️❤️
Count on my prayers. I have survived six years after a stage 4 diagnosis. A friend has survived 12. Peace you your family.
Take in charge of own health; all doctors does not have any clues. I have met many doctors including my friends and families members. They are believed in pharmaceutical companies drug. They don’t wanted to think outside of the box.
If you are sick; I beg you all please do research find a root cause of that disease and find out how to eliminate that disease by natural remedies.
I find that my GPs totally refuse to discuss outside of the brain-washed box.
I work in a hospital. I offer spiritual care to patients undergoing chemo. U should see the snacks they have for them - cookies, candy canes, cereal bars and the like. Lord help🙏🙏🙏
It will be like that till doctors and dieticians are educated on the harm refined sugar causes. It caused me great anguish when I saw what my son was fed, even through a tube in the hospital... a mix of milk products with sugars (with the vitamin-mineral blend) or-when I asked for a change to vegan-the milk products were substituted with a mix of inflammatory oils, though there was some plant protein added, too.
My uncle was recently in the hospital. He wasn't able to eat the food they served which resulted in him losing lots of weight(he already has a slim frame) and becoming weak. They gave him sugary protein drinks and as a result ended up on insulin. I've heard of a few surgeries in the US (I'm in Britain) where they prepare raw/vegan food for the patients. There's also a 7th Day Adventist hospital in Florida who are big on treating patients with a nutritious diet. One of my cousins went there for bowl cancer and got better but once out went back to bad habits and subsequently died.
My prayers are with you always ❣ 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
