The document discusses using a ketogenic diet to treat cancer. It begins by outlining previous research showing that cancer cells rely primarily on glucose for fuel, unlike normal cells which can use ketone bodies. The document then summarizes several studies that found: 1) a calorie-restricted ketogenic diet significantly decreased tumor growth and improved survival in mouse models; 2) ketone bodies inhibit the viability of neuroblastoma cells; and 3) a ketogenic diet may improve quality of life for advanced cancer patients with no severe side effects. Overall, the document suggests that a ketogenic diet may be a viable non-toxic therapy for some cancers by starving the tumors of their preferred fuel source, glucose.

Fat as a Health Food: Benefits & Course Corrections During a Year of Tracking...James McCarter
Ketosis, where the body burns fats in preference to carbohydrates, is being promoted as an approach to weight loss and treatment for chronic diseases. I’ve taken a Quantified Self approach to tracking my experience with ketosis seeing a number of benefits and challenges along the way. One of the conclusions, which I’m testing further, is that the types of fats used to replace carbohydrates may be critical to optimal health in response to a ketogenic diet. These slides are from my March 17, 2015 presentation to the Quantified Self St. Louis Group (www.quantifiedstl.com) at the Cambridge Innovation Center.
Breast cancer is the leading cause of death from cancer among women, accounting for 23% of the total cancer cases and 14% of cancer deaths in 2008. As dietary fat is thought to be one of the main risk factors, this webinar will focus on the opposing effects of the omega-6 fatty acid arachidonic acid (AA) and the omega-3 fatty acid eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) on factors related to breast cancer risk, development and prognosis, including their influence on cyclooxygenase activity and prostaglandin production, the impact of inflammation within the tissue microenvironment, impact on aromatase and oestrogen production and impact on genetic aspects of breast cancer such as modulation of BRAC1 and BRAC2 genes.

Keto Diet Vs Intermittent Fasting.pptxRahulKotwal6
Intermittent fasting is more flexible than keto when it comes to the types of food you can eat. This increases the pool of available vitamins and minerals obtainable from the diet.
Intermittent fasting can be modified for those who require or desire shorter fasts and is not mandatory to fast every day. Keto is all or nothing: you’re either in ketosis or not and keto requires strict daily adherence.
The ketogenic diet, often referred to as keto, is a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet that has been shown to help some people lose weight. The ketogenic diet has been studied for its potential benefits in weight loss, managing diabetes, and even some neurological disorders like epilepsy. However, it's essential to note that the ketogenic diet may not be suitable for everyone. Before starting any drastic diet change like keto, it's advisable to consult with a healthcare provider or a registered dietitian, especially if you have any underlying health conditions.

A ketogenic diet to lose weight and fight metabolic diseasehananenina5
Obesity and metabolic diseases are major health problems worldwide.
In 2016, obesity affected 13% of adults globally.
Obesity is a risk factor of metabolic syndrome, a cluster of metabolic abnormalities, including type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high waist-to- hip ratio, and low HDL (good) cholesterol.
To combat this, many diets have emerged, including the ketogenic diet, in which a person consumes a very limited amount of carbohydrates. Some research suggests this diet may have benefits for people with obesity.
However, some experts have questioned the health benefits of the keto diet and called for more research. While it may help you lose weight, there may also be complications.
This article explains how the keto diet may help people lose weight and manage metabolic disease. It also discusses some of the possible drawbacks.

ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.drhasanrajab
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.

Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen.

10. Cancer is a Mitochondrial Metabolic
Disease
• Mitochondria
• Power house of the cell
• Central point in the origin of
most cancers
• Can be damaged by:
• Inherited mutations,
increasing your risk for
breast- and ovarian cancer
• Environmental factors,
toxins and radiation,
leading to dysfunction and
tumor formation
11. Sugar is the Primary Fuel for most cancers
• 1931, Nobel Prize awarded to Dr. Otto Warburg, who
discovered that cancer cells have a fundamentally
different energy metabolism compared to healthy cells,
and that malignant tumors tend to feed on sugar.
• Confirmed by: Dr. Thomas Seyfried, one of the leading
pioneer academic researchers in promoting how to treat
cancer nutritionally at Yale University and Boston College
and has written over 150 peer-reviewed scientific articles
relating to cancer treatment.
12. Ketogenic Diet
• An elegant, non-toxic way to target and marginalize tumor cells
• Allows you to dramatically lower your glucose levels, as the ketones
will protect your body against any hypoglycemia that might otherwise
be induced by carb restriction
• New state of metabolic homeostasis: a state where ketones reach
the steady state level in your blood and glucose reach a steady level
in your blood
• “If it’s done right and implemented right, it has powerful therapeutic
benefits on the majority of people who suffer from various kinds of
cancers. Because of all cancers have primarily the same metabolic
defect.” - Dr. Seyfried
13. Ketogenic Diet
• Low amounts of carbohydrates
• Eliminating all but non-starchy vegetable carbohydrates
• High amounts of healthy fats
• MCTs - avocado, coconut oil, butter, olive oil and macadamia nuts
• Low to moderate amounts of high quality protein
14. Ketogenic Diet
• Reverse Glucose to Ketone Ratios
• Glucose - 55-65 mg/dL (half “normal” level)
• Ketones - 3-4 mm/dL (millimolar)
• Measure glucose and ketone blood levels
• Glucose, 3x day
• Ketones, every few days
• Adverse side affects can occur with medications

15. • Purpose: Evaluate the efficacy of KetoCal®
, a new nutritionally
balanced high fat/low carbohydrate ketogenic diet for children with
epilepsy, on the growth of vascularity of a malignant mouse
astrocytoma (CT-2A) and human malignant glioma (U87-MG)
• Methods: Animal study. KetoCal®
administered to groups of mice
either in calorie restricted or unrestricted amounts. Tumor growth,
vascularity, and mouse survival were examined and compared
between two diets.
• Results: KetoCal®
administered in restricted amounts significantly
decreased tumor growth in both groups by 35-65% and enhanced
health and survival rate compared to control group (received
standard low fat/high cho diet). Tumor microvessel density was less
in KetoCal®
compared to calorically unrestricted groups. Less gene
expression for mitochondrial enzymes in tumors than normal brain
cells - reduced ability to metabolize ketone bodies for energy.

16. Research Studies
• Background: Tumor cells,
decrease expression of SCOT,
key enzyme in ketone body
metabolism, therefore cannot
use ketone bodies as a primary
source of energy.
• Purpose: Examine viability of
neuroblastoma cells when using
ketone bodies at its primary
energy source
• Methods: In Vitro method.
Human foreskin fibroblasts
(control group) grown in
standard media with/out
glucose and glucose-free
media with ketone bodies,

17. • Analysis: MTT assay - determine
cell viability; Fluorescence-
activated cell sorting analysis -
determine apoptosis;
Immunoblotting for SCOT
protein expression.
• Results: Viability and apoptosis,
not affected in normal fibroblasts
compared to neuroblastoma
cells - 52%-61% significantly less
viable and more apoptosis.

18. • Purpose: Investigate the feasibility of a KD and
its influence on the quality of patients with
advanced metastatic cancer.
• Methods: 3 month intervention, patients
followed a KD (less than 70 g CHO per day) with
protein/fat shakes.
• Analysis: Quality of life, serum and general
health parameters at baseline, two-week
follow-up, or after drop out. Monitor effect of
dietary change on metabolism daily by
measuring urinary ketone bodies
• Results: 5 patients completed intervention,
showed improved emotional functioning, less
insomnia. Found no severe adverse side effects
and no changes in cholesterol or blood levels.

trial. Nutrition and Metabolism 2011, 8:54.
Research Studies3
19. Comparative Findings
• Tumor cells cannot use ketone bodies because of their respiratory
insufficiency and decrease expression of SCOT protein (enzyme).
• Therapeutic effect of KetoCal®
for brain cancer was largely due to
caloric content, which reduces circulating glucose.
• It’s possible to target brain cancers with calorically restricted high
fat/low carbohydrate ketogenic diets.
• KD suitable for even advanced cancer patients. KetoCal®
is safe
effective diet therapy and should be considered an alternative
therapeutic option for malignant brain cancer.
• No severe adverse side effects.
• Might improve aspects of quality of life and blood parameters in some
patients with advanced metastatic tumors.
