So we can marginalize the cancer cell simply by depriving it of its fermentable fuels and protecting all of the normal cells in the body by shifting them over to ketone bodies, which now becomes a non-fuel for the cancer cell.

Yeah, but Wilder studied epilepsy, but he realized that if you put kids on water-only fasting, the seizures would go away. Right. But he realized that when you don't eat food, what's the major changes in the blood? And the blood sugar goes down, and ketone bodies, which are water-soluble breakdown product of fats. So the fats in our body- or mobilized these fatty acids then go into the bloodstream

They go to the liver and the liver chops them up like a wood chipper and makes small molecules called ketone bodies. And these are water soluble products of the breakdown of fatty acids. And they go to the brain, they can replace glucose in the brain. They can be burned by the heart, by muscles. So the combination between ketone bodies and fatty acids can be respired.

If you have a good respiration system, With respect to epilepsy, now here's the interesting thing. So Wilder says, well, we can't cure epilepsy by starving people to death. So let's build a diet that does what a normal water-only fasting would do. And if you eat diets that have very low carbohydrates in restricted amounts, blood sugar goes down and ketones go up.

So it was kind of a calorie-restricted fat diet. You know, you can eat avocados and you could eat certain things that would give you fats. And that seemed to manage epileptic seizures. And then, of course, in the 1930s, certain drugs came on that made it a lot easier for patients to say, oh, we have a drug now that can do what a ketogenic diet does. So let's forget about the ketogenic diets.

But Jim Abrams and his son Charlie started the Charlie Foundation. because his son Charlie Abrams was almost killed by various drugs and treatments that he was taking when he could have done a ketogenic diet. So it was resurrected at the late 90s by Jim Abrams. And we were all working on epilepsy and we found no uncertain terms that management of seizures was directly linked to the blood glucose.

And the difference between cancer and epilepsy is we really don't know how ketogenic diets stop epileptic seizures. We know it changes the energy metabolism of the brain, but the clear mechanism is still under massive investigation. And it seems to work against a variety of different epilepsy.
