“A Novel Therapeutic Strategy For The Metabolic Management Of Cancer“ is the subject of the presentation by Thomas Seyfried, PhD at the June 21, 2018 meeting of the Silicon Valley Health Institute. Dr. Seyfried will discuss his latest research in treating and preventing cancer. In addition to his research on the ketogenic diet, he adds a new component which adds drugs and procedures that create both chronic and intermittent acute stress on tumor cell energy metabolism, while protecting and enhancing the energy metabolism of normal cells. He calls this the “press- pulse” therapeutic strategy for cancer management is an approach which includes the calorie restricted ketogenic diets used together with drugs and procedures. A shift from respiration to fermentation is a common metabolic hallmark of cancer cells. As a result, glucose and glutamine become the prime fuels for driving the dysregulated growth of tumors. Press disturbances produce chronic stress, while pulse disturbances produce acu
