Dr Jason Fung | The Cancer Code: A Revolutionary New Understanding of a Medical Mystery KKP: 187
Today, I am grateful to have a repeat Keto Kamp guest, a Canadian nephrologist, the world-leading expert on intermittent fasting and low carb, especially for treating people with type 2 diabetes, Dr. Jason Fung. He has written three best-selling health books and he co-founded the Intensive Dietary Management program. Dr. Fung has his own websites at thefastingmethod.com. Dr. Fung graduated from the University of Toronto and completed his residency at the University of California, Los Angeles. He lives and works in Toronto, Canada. Dr. Fung works with Team Diet Doctor. Together we want to make it simple for people to understand and implement intermittent fasting, to improve their health. Below is some of the material with Dr. Fung on Diet Doctor. In this episode, Dr. Jason Fung dives deep into his eye-opening biography of cancer in which he offers a radical new paradigm for understanding cancer. He explains that all cancers develop from our own cells. When four people get the same type of cancer, all four people will have cancer cells that look identical. Then, Dr. Jason touches on the correlations between glucose, bad fats, and cancer. Stay tuned as Dr. Jason answers questions from the Keto Kamp listeners, including the benefits of fasting during chemotherapy. // E P I S O D E S P ON S O R S PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off. ☕️ Purity Coffee: http//:www.ketokampcoffee.com, use ketokamp at checkout for 10% off [00:15] About The Cancer Code Cancer has always been a great mystery. We know what causes other diseases or infections. Cancer is the second cause of death in America, yet we don’t know what it is. The way we think about cancer has changed significantly throughout the years. There is an enormous shift in how we see the disease, affecting how we treat the disease. There is a recognition that cancer is actually an obesity-related disease. In 2003, there was convincing evidence about the correlation between cancer and obesity. In fact, it’s a massive part of cancer. Diet turns out to be 30-35% related to cancer causation. Breast cancer and colorectal cancer are the most prominent obesity-related cancers. “Diseases of metabolism are also diseases of growth.” -Dr. Jason Fung [16:15] Every Cancer Develops From Your Own Cells The number of mutations that are required to get cancer far outstrips the rate of mutation. Why does every cancer look exactly the same? People will have identical cancers that develop independently of each other. Cancer is an evolutionary disease. You can take the tools of evolutionary biology and apply them to cancer instead. All the different mutations are not random because they all end up in the same place. It’s not a random chance mutation; it’s a guided mutation. Cancer is not part of your body; it’s foreign. The immune system will attack cancer cells. [25:00] A Seven-Day Water Fast Could Shrink Tumors The research on water fasts is preliminary. A water fast will maximize autophagy. It will put your cells into maintenance mode. When you fast, your insulin will lower as well as your mTOR. Cancer is a tough thing to study because you cannot use preventative treatments once it gets past a certain point. If you want to study prevention, then you need lots of people. [29:00] The Correlation Between Glucose and Cancer Cancer runs on glucose much better than they run on fat. If a cell is trying to grow, then it needs fuel. Some cancer cells can run on protein and fat. Glucose is the most readily available fuel, and it makes the cell run efficiently. If you starve the cell of glucose, then it can change. Before you develop cancer, nutrition can be enough to prevent it. [38:35] How Bad Fats Could Increase Our Chances of Cancer Bad fats could possibly increase our chances of cancer. However, the data isn’t there yet. Anything that increases inflammation is going to create a risk of cancer. Cancer develops from inflammation and chronic damage. Anything that causes chronic damage to the body puts pressure on the body to be in survival mode. [42:50] The Benefits of Metformin If you have type 2 diabetes, then metformin may be better for cancer prevention. Metformin will turn down excessive growth. If you are in growth mode all the time, it’s bad for longevity. You want your metabolic rate to be lower by eating less. [45:30] Getting Too Much Autophagy Too much autophagy is bad and too little autophagy is bad. You want to be somewhere in the middle. You want to maintain a middle ground of autophagy for the most part. When you eat too much, you’ll turn off autophagy. [47:40] How Fasting Can Improve Chemotherapy Chemotherapy will kill cancer cells. Fasting will turn down normal cell growth. Therefore, they will be less susceptible to chemotherapy. Cancer cells cannot turn themselves down as easily. Fasting is safe during chemotherapy. Plus, it is shown that you can handle the chemotherapy better when fasting. AND MUCH MORE!

Dr John Lieurance | The Miracle of Melatonin, Upgrade Your Sleep & Prevent Cancer With Melatonin KKP: 185
Today, I am grateful to have another robust conversation with a Chiropractic Doctor, Registered Medical Assistant, and Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Expert, Dr. John A. Lieurance. He has practiced in Sarasota for 24 years. Dr. Lieurance has a gift for difficult cases where other practitioners have failed. With the successful integration of Functional Neurology, Chiropractic, Naturopathy, Nutrition using the Asyra, Detoxification Programs and LumoMed inner ear therapy. His Musculoskeletal Ultrasound training includes over 100 hours through the Gulf Coast Ultrasound Institute, 60 hours through AAOM, 90 hours through AOAPRM, and 60 through TOBI. He also has extensive training for sterile lab procedures and the processing of blood platelets, bone marrow aspirate, and adipose tissue through Oregen Biologics, Emcyte Corporation, Ron Gardener, M.D. (orthopedic surgeon), Regenestem and the Ageless Regenerative Institute. He has been an assistant instructor for hands on practicum for diagnosis using musculoskeletal ultrasound for the 3rd Annual Platelet Rich Plasma & Regenerative Medicine Symposium in Los Angeles, California in 2015, and was a speaker at the Florida Chiropractic Physicians Association (FCPA) in Orlando, Florida in 2016 on Clinical Applications of Musculoskeletal Ultrasound. He has completed training with Dr Richie Shoemaker in 2019 for diagnosis & treatment of CIRS and with the “Shoemaker Protocol”. His techniques include Continuing Chiropractic Education: Chiropractic Neurology, – Applied Kinesiology “AK”, Cold Laser Therapy, Extremity Adjusting, Sports Injury Taping, Rehabilitation of Sports Injuries, Lumbar and Cervical Disc Decompression, Pettibon Scoliosis through the Carrick Institute of Functional Neurology as well as Vestibular Rehabilitation & Movement Disorders through the Carrick Institute in 2012,’16, ’17, ’18. Dr. Lieurance is the developer of Functional Cranial Release and teaches, as well as certifies, these methods to doctors around the world. In this episode, Dr. Lieurance opens the show describing the advantages of a functional cranial release. He then explains how our body likes to make energy and the benefits of melatonin on the process. He dives into the amount of melatonin we should be taking, how we should take it, and how we can naturally produce more melatonin. Learn about Dr. Lieurance’s new product Sandman Sol and be sure to check out all of his products and use the code “ketokamp” https://advancedbiomecorp.com/. // E P I S O D E S P ON S O R S PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off. ☕️ Purity Coffee: http//:www.ketokampcoffee.com, use ketokamp at checkout for 10% off [00:55] About Functional Cranial Release It’s a manipulation of the cranium using a force from inside out. The force is expansive, and it takes the pressure off of the bone called the sphenoid bone, which is in the center of your head. Information around cranial work needs to get out there. It’s a little known technique that people need to hear about. People with chronic headaches or balance disorders can significantly benefit from a functional cranial release. [05:15] Understanding Melatonin People can take higher doses of melatonin for inflammation. Melatonin also works on the mitochondria; it’s an essential structure for every cell in our body. You don’t want to burn your cell out. Things are going in and out of the cell membrane. You want it to be as clean as possible. The mitochondria make its own melatonin. It does it for a significant reason – when things get too hot, melatonin will cool it done. You get oxidation from the burning of energy; melatonin will quench the oxidation. Oral absorption of melatonin is low – only about two percent is absorbed into the body. The suppository is a direct route into the bloodstream. Check out Dr. Lieurance’s product SandMan Sol™. It contains 250mg of Glutathione, 200mg of Melatonin, Terpene Blend (Limonene, boswellia), and their proprietary AP0-808™ probiotic strain. The body’s two most potent antioxidants, Glutathione, and Melatonin together! [12:30] How Cancer Works Cancer happens when the cell no longer can make energy efficiently, and it goes to a primitive way of creating energy. Instead of making 36 ATPS, you only make 4. Because of inflammation, you make less energy. The Cytokine Storm is what kills people. Melatonin can penetrate the cell and quench the cycle so you can start making energy effectively. [19:50] You Won’t Shut Down Your Ability To Make Melatonin There is an idea that too much melatonin is somehow a danger. However, there is no negative feedback. When you take testosterone, you’ll make less of it. With melatonin, this doesn’t happen. You can take high doses, quit, and the very next night, you’ll produce the same amount of melatonin. [21:10] Other Cool Things About Melatonin Melatonin is critical for disease prevention and slowing down aging. When don’t have a lot of energy, it’s common for people not to clean their house. Whenever everything is clean, everything is more effective. The same thing happens in your body. When you don’t have energy, your body will start doing what is most important and go into survival mode. [25:25] How To Increase Melatonin In The Body Getting sunlight first thing in the morning will help produce melatonin in your body. People wear sunglasses too much. Be smart about it. Don’t go out on the paddleboard all day long and burn your eyes. However, it would help if you had sunlight throughout the day. Before 11 am, and after 4 pm, you should be able to navigate without sunglasses. The green and blue lights will suppress melatonin. People are watching TV, on their cell phone and their iPad. It’s keeping you up at night. Buy red rope lights to put around your house. The lights on the wall switches should not be used at night. Buy blue-blocking glasses and turn on the night shift for your phone. AND MUCH MORE!

We want to see blood glucose drop during a fast, and blood ketones (BHB) raise during the fast. If you do not see this trend, it is most commonly because of 3 reasons... Toxicity issue. When you are burning fat with fasting, your body burns toxins stored in fat cells. If you have a lot of toxins, this can cause you to feel tired and even bad with fasting. Is fasting harmful to your health if you have high levels of toxins? Possibly yet.

Dr Kedar Prasad | The Link Between EMF's, Diabetes & Chronic Disease KKP: 182
Today, I am grateful to have a repeat guest on the Keto Kamp Podcast, Dr. Kedar Prasad PhD. Dr. Kedar Prasad PhD earned a Ph.D. in Radiation Biology from the University of Iowa, Iowa City, in 1963. As the first Radiation Biology Ph.D. ever, he received Post-doctoral training at the Brookhaven National Laboratory, Long Island, New York, and joined the Department of Radiology at the University of Colorado Medical School Health and Sciences Center where he became Professor and Director of the Center for Vitamins and Cancer Research. Easily one of the most published experts on nutrition, cancer, neurological diseases and the effects that micronutrients and antioxidants have on each, Dr. Prasad is frequently sought after for his expertise and extensive experience with nutrition. When approached by the US DoD to help develop a product that would radically decrease the effects of trauma on the military forces, he developed the world’s most advanced daily supplement, Micro Daily. In this episode, Dr. Kedar Prasad dives deep into Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF). EMFs are invisible areas of energy that are found in wireless internet signals and our cell phones. EMF radiation can wreak serious havoc on our bodies. Dr. Kedar explains what type of damage can happen to our DNA and biological tissues. Plus, Dr. Kedar reveals the various types of things that will help prevent severe damage. For one, it’s essential to take supplements. You can find Micro Daily EMF here: https://shop.microdaily.com/ketokamp. // E P I S O D E S P ON S O R S PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off. http://www.Kettleandfire.com/ketokamp and use KETOKAMP at checkout to save 15% on your entire order. ☕️ Purity Coffee: http//:www.ketokampcoffee.com, use ketokamp at checkout for 10% off [01:45] About EMFs EMF stands for electric and magnetic fields. EMFs are invisible areas of energy, often referred to as radiation. You cannot block the magnetic field of penetration from EMFs to our bodies. Studies show that EMFs will increase the risks of brain cancer and other cancers as well. Even though there is some controversy on the studies, Dr. Kedar personally believes that EMF radiation will increase the risk of cancer. Also, EMF radiation can induce diabetes-like symptoms. There are loads of effects that no one can deny from EMF radiation. EMFs are found in wi-fi signals and our cell phones. [10:10] Differences between EMF Radiation Based On Generation Recent generations will have more acute damage from EMF radiation. Even low exposure to EMF from mobile phones may cause health problems. There are many aspects of health that are affected by EMF radiation. For instance, it can cause damage to biological tissues by inducing changes. Shielding EMF radiation has no value in Dr. Kedar’s opinion. In fact, it can be counterproductive. Instead, focus on how you can protect your body from the inside. [18:55] EMF Radiation Can Reduce Capacity of DNA Repair If you are exposed to EMF radiation, then you generate lots of free radicals. Antioxidant enzymes are reduced with EMF radiation. Inflammation will increase with exposure. EMF radiation increases the level of oxidated stress and chronic inflammation. These two cellular deficits are involved in all human chronic diseases. [21:50] How We Can Protect Our Tissues To reduce oxidated stress, your body needs two things: Increased antioxidant enzymes Increased antioxidant compounds You can increase antioxidant levels by activation of Nrf2. If you cannot activate Nrf2, you cannot increase antioxidant enzymes. You can increase Nrf2 through supplements and diet. [27:30] Using Supplements To Protect Our Tissues First, ensure you have a proper diet and lifestyle. Then, take a Micro Daily EMF supplement. You can find Dr. Kedar’s supplement here: https://shop.microdaily.com/ketokamp. The Micro Daily supplement provides 5G and EMF Radiation Defense and Immune System Boost. Plus, the supplement has other massive benefits: Enhanced anti-inflammatory response DNA integrity and health Anti-aging at the cellular level Increased energy Joint and pain relief This supplement is validated with the U.S. Military. [36:25] How To Take Fewer Hits From EMFs The important thing is remaining distant - maintain distance from EMFs to reduce exposure. Turn off your Wi-Fi router at night. If your phone is in your pocket, make sure it is on airplane mode. Do not spend excessive time around EMFs. [39:05] EMF Exposure On Animals Our pets are also exposed to the same EMFs that we are. [43:25] Measuring EMF Damage You can measure CRP in the blood. After a few months using Micro Daily EMF, you will find that your CRP is down. Also, you will feel less sensitivity to EMF radiation when you are taking the Micro Daily EMF. AND MUCH MORE!

It’s important to include collagen via organ meats, supplements, and bone broth. Methionine is commonly found in muscle meat. Glycine is found in connective tissue and organ meat. Methionine is a carrier of methyl groups, when you have too much methionine it uses up your bodies glycine to buffer up the methyl groups. This will mess up your biochemistry. Glycine balances methionine and helps the amino acid ratio. If you are glycine deficit it will be difficult to make collagen and glutathione (meaning you won’t feel as good) Key Supplements For Carnivore: Boron Paleo Valley Bone Broth Powder Paleo Valley Organ Meat Complex Another tip for not feeling well is to increase your fat to protein ratio. The organ meats are key, it is nature’s multivitamin. Especially liver! B vitamins Methionine Riboflavin Selenium Choline Vitamin A in retinol form Vitamin C A popular objection to eating liver is the belief that the liver is a storage organ for toxins in the body. While it is true that one of the liver’s role is to neutralize toxins (such as drugs, chemical agents and poisons), it does not store these toxins. Toxins the body cannot eliminate are likely to accumulate in the body’s fatty tissues and nervous systems. On the other hand, the liver is a is a storage organ for many important nutrients (vitamins A, D, E, K, B12 and folic acid, and minerals such as copper and iron). These nutrients provide the body with some of the tools it needs to get rid of toxins. Ben Carnivore Lab Work Notes: BUN went up moving more protein through my kidneys Blood Urea Nitrogen and Creatinine these are byproducts of different functions in the body BUN/CREATININE ratio went up Albumin protein went up AST ALT went down Ferritin went up but this can be an issue if there’s oxidized fats in the body. It’s important to look at other oxidative stress markers. C-Reactive protein went down more than 50% (inflammation in the blood vessels) Homocysteine dropped vascular and brain inflammation Cholesterol and LDL’s went up. The body is clearing the system with cholesterols, cholesterol is a band aid, a healer. This shows up with inflammatory markers coming down. Cholesterol makes hormones, cells, and gives the cell membrane what it wants. Inflammation markers all dropped but all particles went up. The oxidative component rules. I’m using cholesterol as an energy source therefore I have more particles that are shuttling more cholesterol. Cholesterol becomes a major fuel source, makes sense.

She is a whole-foods plant-based diet advocate, which she promotes on her Instagram account, @drcaseyskitchen. Casey is passionate about helping patients identify the root causes of their ailments, and creating intervention plans with her patients that primarily focus on nutritional and lifestyle approaches. [14:30] Making The Pivot To Functional Medicine It was an easy decision for Dr. Casey to pivot to functional medicine. Casey’s purpose is to help the most people that she possibly can. Ultimately, Dr. Casey realized she could merge her functional medicine insight into digital tools and potentially help millions. [19:25] About Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) tracks glucose levels throughout the day and night and can alert you if your levels go too high or low. This technology has been around for over a decade. Insulin resistance and metabolic diseases start decades before the actual diagnosis and result from repeated and regular insults to your metabolic system. No two people respond to carbs the same; that’s why a CGM is useful. [31:05] The Effects of Cortisol On Glucose Our perception of stress effects our glucose levels. Stress will raise your glucose. It’s good to be aware of your stress levels throughout the day. It’s difficult to know whether or not we are stressed. You cannot hide the stress from your body even if your brain doesn’t think you are stressed. If you’re getting a glucose surge, then try to add a meditation practice to your day. [34:25] About The Dawn Phenomenon First thing in the morning, glucose will rise on its own. In order to wake up from sleep, our body will release cortisol and other hormones. These hormones will have an impact on our bodies. This effect is more pronounced in someone who has diabetes. Evidence suggests that a very healthy person will not have much of a dawn effect. In someone who has perfect insulin sensitivity, then the body will compensate for the glucose surge. It’s normal not to see a dawn effect. [36:10] Optimal Glucose Ranges If you have a fasting glucose of below 100, you’re considered normal. If you are 100 – 125, you are considered prediabetic. If you are 126 and above, you are considered diabetic. If you’re below 100 in the morning, then you’re okay. After a considerable carb-rich meal and you stay below 140, then you’re fine. However, Dr. Casey says these numbers are way too lenient. If you look at the research, even in the “normal” range risk of all diseases increases above 70. Some research suggests that the lower your fasting glucose is, the risk for mortality goes up. This does not entirely convince dr. Casey. Low fasting glucose needs to be studied better. [46:25] Getting Your Own CGM For an average person, their doctor will not give them a CGM. When you become a Level customer, you will get an evaluation from a doctor to use a CGM. Then, you will get a CGM in the mail. The monitor will track your metabolic fitness and allow you to take control of your health. Check out Levels: https://www.levelshealth.com/ AND MUCH MORE!
