How Eating a High Fat Diet Can Starve Cancer


What will it take to convince most food consumers that a low-fat or no-fat diet is, in fact, unhealthy? Recently, some conventional cardiologists have claimed that in order to maintain good cardiovascular health, we need to consume healthy fats.

They have exposed the risks associated with statin medications and disproved the myth that cholesterol is the root cause of heart attacks and clogged arteries. Statin medications do reduce cholesterol.

However, the tissue of the brain and nervous system requires cholesterol and other fats in order to regenerate and sustain optimal function. Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia are common in statin users.

The liver uses skin cholesterol to begin the process of converting UVB radiation to vitamin D3. Insufficient vitamin D3 results from a lack of conversion, which is caused by cholesterol.

Now, recent mainstream research discoveries have shown that a high fat diet can reverse aggressive cancers. Don’t expect any faction of the cancer industry to disclose this.

They all need to receive funding to research patentable drugs that don’t cure while they keep killing with chemo, radiation, and surgery to enrich Big Pharma.

The high fat ketogenic diet – tried and true

There are several anecdotal cancer reversals with this diet, but the most amazing involves a former world power lifting champion, trainer, and successful business owner Dr. Fred Hatfield. He has the doctor title because he completed graduate studies in kinesiology.

Hatfield was diagnosed with aggressive, metastatic skeletal cancer. Three doctors gave the same prognosis of three months left to live. He desperately researched and came across the ketogenic diet as something he should try.

University of South Florida metabolic researcher Dr. Dominic D’Agostino had discovered that cancerous mice who were put on high fat non-carbohydrate glucose diets recovered from cancer better than mice on chemotherapy.

Maybe that’s not saying much, but Fred Hatfield had nothing to lose and put it to the test.

He avoided all carbohydrates and sugars. He consumed a fair amount of good meats and lots of good fats, not cheap trans-fatty acid hydrogenated oils or margarine that are one molecule away from being plastic and cannot be metabolized.

Among the good fats are eggs, avocado, cold pressed olive, flax seed, hemp oils, real butter, and the once vilified coconut oil. Yes, even the maligned saturated fats. Hatfield’s cancer cleared up in a few, short months and he was still in good health a year later.

Researcher Dr. D’Agostino has received communication from a dozen others who have successfully used a ketogenic diet to reverse cancer.

Cancer cells ferment glucose to thrive because they are deprived of oxygen that normal healthy cells use for metabolism. Good, healthy fats deliver fatty acids that are converted to energy bestowing ketones when the body’s cells are deprived of glucose.

That’s how coconut oil has reversed Alzheimer’s. The conversion of ketones provides energy to brain cells that aren’t metabolizing oxygen as well as before.

Normal cells can convert ketones for energy; cancer cells cannot. So replacing glucose with ketones starves cancer cells. No side effects, except for weight loss. Take that conventional fat-free weight loss programs.

 

CBN health reporter Lorrie Johnson, who covered the Hatfield story, claims it’s okay to modify the ketogenic diet somewhat after cancer is reversed. She uses a less strict ketogenic diet after surviving her cancer. Introducing some complex carbs that aren’t easily converted to glucose seems okay without cancer.

Regardless of the well known fact that cancer cells thrive on simple sugars, oncologists never warn their patients about this. Instead, they are fed ice cream or pastries often while undergoing IV chemotherapy.

All alternative cancer therapies have a cancer diet foundation that excludes sugar and simple carbohydrates that convert to glucose easily.
