Ketogenic Diet- KETOCAN PLAN
The Ketogenic Diet was first used in the 1920's for the treatment of epilepsy in children, one of the earliest innovative doctors who worked with the diet was Dr. Conklin who in 1922 hypothesized that the ketogenic diet worked to reduce seizure in children because it reduced the auto-intoxication of the brain coming from digestion, the deterioration of the peyer's patches in the intestines (masters of the immune system) and the types of food we eat. In most recent years it is finding a valid scientifically proven and functional in clinical practice for Cancer care.
Unique to Sanas Health Practice is our Ketocan Program- a naturopathically and individually modified version of the ketogenic diet. It is low in carbohydrates that reduces sugar circulating in the body ( sugar feeds cancer growth), contains healthy proteins and is high in healthy fats that reduces inflammation in the body ( inflammation speeds cancer growth and spread), the body then thrives on ketones produced by the body, instead of sugar. Cancer cells unlike healthy cells cannot thrive on ketones. Healthy cells function quite well on ketones and many of our patients report feeling more alert and more vibrant on this plan.
Out Ketocan Plan is designed respecting the following principles;
- High Sugar Environments feed Cancer Cells, healthy cells can survive and thrive on Ketone metabolism
-Inflammation Feeds Cancer Growth and Spread- High Healthy fat intake reduces body inflammation
-Toxicity in our foods reduces the function of the immune system and detoxificaton- eating organic and best choices reduces body burden and improves immune system and removal of body toxins.
-Identification and avoidance of personal food sensitivities or allergies- to further strengthen the immune system.
-Reducing Foods with growth factors that accelerate cancer growth and Increasing vegetables that have a cancer fighting effect and high nutrient concentrations.
-Intermittent Fasting as a way to give the body a break and to cleanse more effectively.
Our Ketocan Plan is typically a High Fat, with healthy Protein and Low Carbohydrates. Depending on your state of health you may be recommended to do periods of intermittent fasting to speed up the process. Our Ketocan Plan is done in combination with finding out your personal food allergies and following the principles listed above.
The KetoCan Plan for Cancer should always be done under guided supervision as it is a diet that if not monitored properly may have adverse effects. We monitor our patients closely, on most visits, a urine analysis is done to see how the patient is doing and if they are in ketosis. Lab tests are also done periodically.
In brain and neurological tumours this dietary regime also helps to reduce seizures effectively as it does for epilepsy.We have noted in practice excellent responses with the diet and a added benefit is the ability to reduce the dosage of many of the other completmentary therapies because the body simply responds better to all therapies while on this plan.
Our Speicalized nutritionist helps to keep you on track as Doctor Marisol decides wheather you are a candidate for this plan and monitors you through the process.
