LOST KETOSIS

Also worth mentioning is that I understand his position to be that mitochondrial damage, whatever the cause, is the cause of all cancer. He and others have done experiments with cell nuclear transplants, and nuclei with damaged DNA put into cells with healthy mitochondria do not result in cancerous cells. However, the reverse–undamaged nuclei put into cells with damaged mitochondria will become or remain cancerous. So it is clearly the miochondria, not the nuclear DNA, that is the determining factor.

The reason for the Warbug effect, as I understand it, is precisely because of the mitochondrial damage.

Yes, an excellent recap of Seyfried’s reporting.

It’s the direct cause/effect relationship that “glucose produces mitochondrial damage” that I must have missed.

Yeah, that’s because, as I mentioned, the damage is less and takes longer to build up into a problem. The mitochondria can handle a small amount of glucose, such as from a ketogenic diet. It’s the excessively high-carb diet recommended to prevent heart disease that causes the problems, over time.

FB, you had/have afib didn’t you? Are you taking that drug (or similar)? Any similar experience here or words of wisdom?

I get it occasionally. I’m not on any prescribed medications because I know most of their side effects. No wisdom. My AFib is an electrolyte problem and Low Carb and Carnivore along with overhydration can deplete the body of salts. So, I make sure I have well salted foods and they taste great. Then I take some extra magnesium if I get palpitations.
