• When you are used to living on grain and sugar, cutting it out may make you feel a bit sick or lethargic
  • Body is building up ketones
    • A form of energy
• Used to be called “Atkins Flu”
• Your brain works better on ketone bodies
  • Epileptic people are now told to be on ketogenic diets, for example
• To help it, add salt in your food, have extra water, etc.
• It is okay and it will go away!

VINNIE AFTER CANCER

• After leukemia (and during) people kept telling Vinnie he needed to do certain things
  • Eat macro-diet and micro-diet, juice everything, have wheatgrass, etc or he would die
• He went to his hematologist and asked how much of it was the truth
  • His incredibly intelligent hematologist simply said “Stay away from sugar!”
    • Everything is pointing towards sugar as one of the things that cancer loves

SUGAR AND CANCER

• Sugar does not cause cancer, but cells that make tumors and such are fermentors
  • This means they will gain energy from glucose fermentation
    • Sugar feeds them
  • This is a prime fuel, but not the only fuel
• Our red blood cells are constantly making a little lactate
• Tumor cells have defective mitochondria so they make lots of lactate

WHAT CAUSES CANCER?

• Radiation
• Chemicals in the environment
• Chronic inflammation
  • ex: Lung cancer comes from lung inflammation which is worsened by smoking
• Age
• Mutations in genome that we inherit
  • People are pre-disposed to cancers
  • genome is your set of genes and differences / mutations in them
