Starving Cancer: A Metabolic Therapy Approach (Episode 25)
Metabolic therapy as a promising complementary cancer treatment. This approach focuses on depriving cancer cells of essential energy sources like glucose, glutamine, and fatty acids, using a combination of drugs, supplements, dietary changes, and integrative therapies. The "press-pulse" method involves consistent metabolic stress and intermittent, higher-intensity interventions. While showing promise, the article emphasizes the critical need for more robust clinical research to validate the effectiveness and safety of this approach when combined with conventional cancer treatments. Dr. Brian Lawenda calls for greater collaboration between researchers, physicians, and patients to advance research in this area of cancer care.
