The ketogenic diet and cancer research | Dominic D'Agostino

Nutritional interventions in conjunction with the standard of care may augment the treatment for some cancers. Researchers have observed synergism between the ketogenic diet and hyperbaric oxygen against tumor cells. Moreover, Dr. D'Agostino suggests that ketosis stimulates the immune system, increasing its ability to detect cancer cells. However, he cautions that some cancer cells can use ketones as fuel, and this domain needs more research. In addition, a ketogenic diet may be designed to incorporate anti-carcinogenic phytonutrients and fiber. In this clip, Dr. Dominic D'Agostino discusses the implications of adding a ketogenic diet to cancer treatment protocols.
