In her new book, "Keto for Cancer," nutrition advocate Miriam Kalamian details the rationale for treating cancer with a ketogenic diet. Based on research by Nobel Prize winner Dr. Otto Warburg nearly 100 years ago, new studies are vindicating the view that sugar is a cancer promoter. The ultra low-carb ketogenic diet targets the metabolic basis of most cancers. It’s not a panacea, but combined with innovative techniques, it can extend life and improve quality of life. Kalamian details her experience with her son, diagnosed with brain cancer, which spurred her interest in the ketogenic diet. What’s left to eat? What’s a typical meal? Is too much protein a stumbling block? Can intermittent fasting and caloric restriction confer some of the benefits of the ketogenic diet? How do dieters check whether they’re achieving ketosis? Is it inadvisable for some conditions? How to cope with carb withdrawal? Additional applications include diabetes, weight loss, Metabolic Syndrome, cardiovascular disease, and polycystic ovarian syndrome, as well as neurodegenerative conditions like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s Disease.

E51: Miriam Kalamian - Bringing Quality of Life to Cancer Patients with a Ketogenic Diet

Miriam discusses the genetic and metabolic aspects of cancer. Plenty of evidence suggests there is a metabolic component to consider beyond genetic causes. Miriam recommends we look at the underlying cause, which is something that has gone wrong at the cellular level. Often this is an accumulation factor, which is why cancer is often seen in older people. Unhealthy eating also promotes inflammation, which creates a perfect environment for cancer and other diseases to progress.

She also earned a Master’s in Education from Smith College and a Bachelor’s degree from Connecticut College.

Her passion for helping others implement this diet comes directly from her personal experience. Her son Raffi was diagnosed with a brain tumor in December of 2004. Standard of care therapies failed to stop the relentless progression of his disease and it became painfully clear that she needed to switch gears quickly. An Internet search led her to Dr. Thomas Seyfried’s research supporting the use of the Restricted Ketogenic Diet for cancer.
