Carnivore does not cure cancer (hackertalks.com)

Cancer can only metabolise glucose

Carbohydrates of all types turn into glucose.

Humans can live without eating carbohydrates.

Going strict zero carb (carnivore) will stop feeding the cancer extra fuel, reducing the growth rate. For some people this is enough so their own bodies can get ahead of the cancer.

This makes carnivore a great ADJUNCT to a cancer treatment plan. By itself carnivore will not cure cancer.

Without medical intervention the body will still make glucose, which cancer can use. This production is at a much lower rate then eating carbs. There is a human trial testing cancer protocol that presses of zero carb eating with pulses of drugs that stop the bodies glucose production. The studies that use this focus on glioblastomas in the brain and show very promising results (in humans, not mice)

Tldr: carnivore doesn't cure cancer, but it doesn't enable cancer either, it couldn't hurt to go zero carbohydrate while fighting cancer.

a shower thought, since I've been talking to my friends about cancer seemingly over and over. Every body knows somebody fighting cancer

Cancer doesn't exist as we understand it. All cancer is, to the people who actually suffered through it, is just a nasty parasite problem that can be fixed with something like fenbendozole and/or ivermectin when protocols on how to do it are researched.

That's just how I see it. Coffee and green tea also have great health benefits, and can help with those issues too.

How would you define the mechanisms of this parasite?

My mode of cancer fits the Warburg hypothesis, that it's principally a disorder of the mitochondria. I.e. cancer as a metabolic disease https://doi.org/10.1186/1743-7075-7-7

For the drugs you mention, what is their mechanism of action. How do they interact with your model of this parasite?

In terms of metabolic diseases, I do understand chronically fermenting cells, though I partially think about polyps from parasites, as most diseases come from parasites (terrain theory, however, postulates that if the terrain is bad, then health tends to go down with it).

Fenbendozole and ivermectin are anti-parasitic drugs (hence, why they were banned for some amount of time) from what I'm aware of..

I'm still not seeing how cancer is a parasite
