June 30: A Boost and the Warburg View

Today should be my go home day. They are planning to give me a stem cell donor boost of my cells that were held back from the original transplant. Hopefully, no complications or side effects. I didn't have any the first time. 

My "new" Metabolic Approach to Leukemia. There are 2 overarching views of cancer. Mutagenic (genetic problem) and Metabolic (energy pathways). I believe it's probably a mix of both. The metabolic view is you can "starve" cancer. 

  • Regular, intermittent fasting
  • Keto. I don't think long-term ketogenesis is in my future. It's such an extreme, but I can get closer. 
  • No Sugar, glucose, No simple carbs
  • No alcohol
  • Starve it, don’t feed it.
  • Some is better than none. NO all or nothing thinking.
  • Alkaline “stasis”
  • Warburg view

Foods to REDUCE

  • sugary foods: soda, fruit juice, smoothies, cake, ice cream, candy, etc.
  • grains or starches: wheat-based products, rice, pasta, cereal, etc.
  • fruit: all fruit, except small portions of berries like strawberries
  • beans or legumes: peas, kidney beans, lentils, chickpeas, etc.
  • root vegetables and tubers: potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, parsnips, etc.
  • alcohol: beer, wine, liquor, mixed drinks
  • low fat or diet products: low fat mayonnaise, salad dressings, and condiments
  • Sweet condiments or sauces: barbecue sauce, honey mustard, teriyaki sauce, ketchup, etc.
  • unhealthy fats: processed vegetable oils, mayonnaise, etc.
  • sugar-free diet foods: sugar-free candies, syrups, puddings, sweeteners, desserts, etc
God is my grace. Jesus is my firm foundation. He calls me to be in His presence, at peace, without shame. I am His, and He is mine.
