Effects of Ketosis and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy on Cancer Treatment

TLDR Dom D'Agostino discusses the benefits of using therapeutic ketosis and hyperbaric oxygen therapy to weaken tumors and make them more susceptible to treatment, highlighting the potential of a modified ketogenic diet in slowing tumor growth and enhancing vulnerability to treatment. Studies on mice have shown increased survival rates when combining a calorie-restricted ketogenic diet with a glutamine inhibitor, suggesting promising strategies for cancer treatment.

Timestamped Summary

00:00 Dom D'Agostino discusses the effects of ketosis on various chronic diseases, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and the applications of ketosis on female health and performance.
03:36 Dom D'Agostino discusses using therapeutic ketosis in combination with hyperbaric oxygen therapy to weaken tumors and make them more susceptible to treatment.
07:24 Combining a modified ketogenic diet with press-pulse therapy, including hyperbaric oxygen therapy and various cancer-specific metabolic drugs, can slow tumor growth and make tumors more vulnerable to treatment.
11:16 A woman experienced a significant decrease in tumor size and weight loss while following a ketogenic diet paired with fasting, suggesting a potential connection between diet and tumor regression.
14:23 Hyperbaric oxygen therapy, radiation, and IV vitamin C can be a potent prooxidant therapy for cancer cells due to their ability to increase reactive oxygen species and target mitochondrial abnormalities.
18:02 Glutamine addiction in tumor cells is a well-documented phenomenon, and studying aggressive cancer models like VMM3 glioblastoma mice can provide valuable insights into cancer metastasis and cachexia.
21:26 A researcher observed that mice on a calorie-restricted ketogenic diet plus a glutamine inhibitor had significantly increased survival rates compared to those on a standard diet in cancer studies.
24:29 Targeting glutamine with dawn as a strategy in cancer treatment is promising, but the toxicity of dawn needs to be addressed, and being in a state of ketosis during interventions like radiation or hyperbaric oxygen therapy may offer benefits.
