And it is. People need to know that glutamine is not a risk factor for cancer. Glucose is for creating inflammation, but not glutamine. So you need specific drugs to target the glutamine for cancer. You can't do it with any diet. People, oh, you know, I take glutamine for weightlifting and all this other stuff. That's great. If you don't have cancer, don't worry about it.
So glutamine is an important metabolite.

Yes. Yes. And the second part you said is absolutely essential. They have to know that the ketone bodies from the ketogenic diets are serving as fuel sources for the normal non-cancerous cells in our body, actually making them even healthier than they were.

Um, there's another interesting biochemical mechanism by which burning ketones, uh, enhances the health and vitality and energy efficiency of normal cells. Um, uh, so that's, that's one issue that is the normal cells burning ketone bodies get healthier when on that's, that's why one of the health benefits of ketogenic diet, I hate to say ketogenic diet, um,

Because it is that, but it's more than that. It's a general health – it's a health system for the body.

There's many other things.

Yeah, well, I think you're right. I mean, you have to break it down into its various parts. Right. And ketosis in a diet can be achieved with carnivore diets, Mediterranean diets, even vegan diets, although not as effective, but they can still generate a state of ketosis.

which is then putting pressure, making the normal cells healthy while at the same time restricting the fuel that's absolutely required for the growth of the tumor. So again, you have to bring the body into a more metabolically stabilized state. Once the body is into that state, then you can then use low doses of various kinds of drugs and procedures
