Advanced-Stage Colon Cancer Dies When You Do THIS

Have you been told that diet doesn’t matter for advanced-stage colon cancer? This is false! Learn what to eat and what to avoid if you’re faced with a late-stage colon cancer diagnosis, and what you can do to support your recovery.

What do you do if you’re suddenly diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer? You’re scared. You get all these different opinions thrown at you. You’re in a state of confusion. Today, I want to give you some relief on that.

I’m not going to get into statistics. I want to get into strategies. And one of the biggest questions that people ask their doctors when they have cancer is, “What do I eat? ” And the answer is usually, “It doesn’t really matter. ” And that is so far from the truth because you can either feed cancer or you can stress cancer or starve cancer.

Cancer itself is very sick. It’s living on the edge. And so what we want to do is we want a strategy that leverages everything you do to overcome that. So we’ll talk about nutrition. We’ll talk about foods.

I also want to talk about prolonged fasting because some people can’t do that. They have too much weight loss. So then what do they do? I have a solution for that. You really need to know also the four main causes of colon cancer and what’s unique about colon cancer.

So, I’m going to cover that as well. One thing about cancer and other chronic diseases is it does not happen overnight. It takes decades to develop. And so, if you don’t have cancer and you’re watching this video, make mental notes on what I’m going to say because this is going to be very important to avoid cancer. Let’s talk about what’s unique about cancer.

Number one, cancer is heterogeneous. What does that mean? That means that cancer is not one disease. There’s many different types of cancer which relate to different genetic weaknesses, to using different fuels, to affecting the immune system differently. That is why you cannot use one single diet for all cancers.

But I’m going to show you what you should be using. I already mentioned this right here. Cancer is very, very sick. It’s living on the edge, but we want to know its weaknesses. And one really big weakness is this right here.

They’re metabolically inflexible. What do I mean by that? It means they have a very difficult time going from one fuel to a different fuel source. So going from glucose to ketones or fat, they have a difficult time doing that. The great majority of the population is not metabolically flexible.

In fact, with my own body and my own health, I was not very metabolically flexible, I had to correct that. So, we will cover that as well. We want to stress it out and keep pressure on that cancer. So, it has no resources, so it can’t keep growing and taking over. As soon as the cancer finally adapts to a certain diet, we switch it over to a different diet.

The other thing that’s unique about cancer is that the origin of cancer comes from damaged mitochondria. Mitochondria are the energy factories of the cell. What happens with cancer is when the mitochondria becomes damaged. As a survival mechanism, the body will then switch to an ancient pathway called glycolysis. This is a plan B with fuel for cancer.

When the cancer cell goes into this mode here, it cannot produce very much energy. So what does it do? it starts going crazy and starts growing really fast to hog a lot of your energy and steal your resources. That’s what happens with cancer. But to compensate, they’re hogging a lot of glucose.

This is why in a PET scan, they’re scanning areas of the body where there’s this high level of glucose. That’s usually where the cancer cell is. So, the goal is not necessarily to starve the cancer, okay? And I’m going to tell you why. It’s to stress the cancer, okay?

Stress it out to the point where it can’t keep growing. It starts shriveling up and then it dies off. This is why we’re going to rotate the diets. And also, I highly recommend you do many things at once to deal with this cancer, not just one single thing. Whether you decide to do chemo, radiation, or not, I’m not here to tell you what to do.

I’m just giving you additional data because with cancer, it’s desperate and it will do all sorts of things to overcome the barriers. Even when you get chemo or radiation therapy, you’ll usually kill the majority of cancer, but the cancer cells that don’t die become stronger and they can come back and now the chemo doesn’t work anymore. So now let’s cover where does cancer actually come from. Number one, chronic insulin resistance. This is why a diabetic for example is more at risk for cancer than other types of conditions because of this insulin resistance where the body can’t really absorb insulin.

So the pancreas makes more initially and it starts making more and more. So all this extra insulin acts like a growth factor. It can make things grow like tumors. When you have insulin resistance, this is where you get metabolic inflexibility. And also on the flip side, if you want to correct metabolic inflexibility, you have to correct insulin resistance.

This is why going on a low carb ketogenic diet is so so important. Number two, chronic inflammation. Cancer travels or migrates into areas of inflammation. Inflammation is a state where you don’t have much oxygen. Let’s take a smoker for example, right?

If someone’s a chronic smoker, they’re going to create a lack of oxygen in their lungs because of all the damage in the scar tissue. Number three, chronic microbiome disruption. If someone has a history of damage in the microbiome from junk foods, antibiotics, they’re going to be more susceptible to getting cancer because the microbes really protect you against cancer in many different ways, which I’m going to cover a little bit of that in this presentation as well in a bit. And then we have number four, chronic toxicity. You know, this could be alcohol, could be smoking, pesticides, insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, it could be many different things that are toxic, but it’s the chronic exposure to toxicity.

So, of course, the more you combine these, the more you’re going to get cancer. Now, what’s interesting is all of these things here are the root causes of mitochondrial damage. Now, some people say, “Well, what if I’m genetically susceptible? ” Yeah, you might be, but it also takes environmental things to push it over the edge. Just because you have a genetic weakness does not mean you’re going to get cancer.

I want to just talk a little bit about the colon for a second. Colon cells. Okay? Because colon cells are very unique in that they will get their fuel from something called butyrate. And butyrate is a chemical that comes from a microbe eating fiber and then they produce this chemical called butyrate.

And that’s like the primary fuel for the colon cell. And so butyrate strengthens the lining. It helps feed the colon. It’s anti-inflammatory. And this is where people get, you know, oh, you need to consume more fiber to prevent cancer.

But there’s a paradox here. Okay, fiber can also make things worse. Fiber can actually inflame your colon. Fiber can make you bloated. And this is why people that get bloating and SIBO, it’s called small intestinal bacteria overgrowth, do very well with the carnivore diet, which is like no fiber, no plants, no nuts, no beans, no grains, anything.

Okay. If you had a history of antibiotics starting as a child or maybe you were never breastfed, so you didn’t have those normal microbes from the mother, that can be a problem later in life because now the microbes are not balanced in a way to deal with the fiber. And a lot of people, they don’t have the microbes to even break down the fiber. So this is why you can have two people eat the exact same thing. One person feels like they’re pregnant, the other person is just fine.

It’s all about the microbes and what microbes you have and where those microbes are located. And I have a lot o
