Dr. Zsófia Clemens has been a popular guest on many podcasts in discussions last for over an hour. Search for her on Google.

Getting a good idea about how to apply the PKD in your own life is a bit difficult if you are not fluent in Hungarian. There are also several efforts to explain that in English, you will find if you search for them.

Augmenting Cancer Outcomes: Keto, Fasting & Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

(77 minutes)

Published by: Degrees of Health - Oct 2024

This podcast episode features an in-depth conversation on metabolic therapies and their potential in cancer treatment, particularly focused on glioblastoma and other glycolytic cancers. Our guest, Dr Dom D'Agostino, a researcher and professor with a diverse background in neuroscience, molecular pharmacology, nutrition and physiology, has a particular interest in metabolic therapies. Dr Dom shares how manipulating the body’s metabolism through the glucose ketone index (GKI), therapeutic ketogenic diets, and redox therapies can improve cancer outcomes by reducing tumour growth and enhancing standard treatments like chemotherapy and radiation. We also explore the synergies of non-toxic therapies such as hyperbaric oxygen, metformin, and IV vitamin C, and how these could potentially reduce the side effects and overall outcomes of cancer treatment.

Public Comments

Dr Seyfried is 100% correct on the main challenge: lack of knowledge. I'd add lack of support. This therapeutic approach switches the burden of knowledge and practice to the patient, with the doctor in a supportive role, IF the patient is lucky enough to have a metabolic doctor. Even so, it requires a tremendous commitment to learning the science, rigorous practice of the diet and fasting on a daily basis over years. That's why this content available on YouTube is so tremendously valuable.

What a fantastic discussion plus Q&A. I really appreciate the points of clarification where we know the impact of insulin, but also nuance and admission of accepting what we don’t yet know and where more clinical trials are needed. I do hope that philanthropist funding will happen.

This is so important!! In general, our brains are so hard-wired to adapt to a “new” paradigm when it can have serious consequences for established ways of driving cash flow. I have experienced the same thing with another problem I have, but I use keto to stabilize it. I do not follow standard dietary advice or standard hospital-approved protocols. I said a few years ago when I went to my specialist: “I take responsibility for it.” She replied: “Keep doing it, because it works for you.” I have to take responsibility, because neither she nor other doctors are allowed to use this procedure in my country. The approach makes sense, but not for the revenues and resources of big pharmaceutical companies that they use so eagerly to support it to increase their revenues. It takes time to change established systems and combat the usual flow of money.
