Thank you for this. I don't have your background but I have GBM and research it and yes agree there is a total bypass in your system for keto. Your body finds a way to get what it needs. Keto might buy some time before that takes effect but it is not a solution.
If you went the keto route, you may want to explore BACH1 inhibition. Study [3] acknowledges the effective role of keto in reducing or controlling tumor size, but with an associated increase in BACH1 expression appearing to account for the increased metastasis (in mice).
Apparently there are a couple small molecule inhibitors that inhibit BACH1 (see ChatGPT). Unfortunately, they seem to be still in the experimental or early clinical stages.
I'm not in the medical profession, I'm just a humble internet user. It's entirely possible you know more than me - I'm happy to hear other ideas.
> Keto might buy some time before that takes effect but it is not a solution.
It might still be a solution. The cancer may be spread out and easier for the body to effectively tackle. Also note that it may depend on type or location.
One thing that does seem clear is that if you do go the keto route, you would need to stick at it. If you purposefully break it down, it spreads, then you give it back the fuel, it would probably make the situation far worse by growing rapidly in multiple locations.
You would definitely need to stick with keto. I have actually heard a lot of good, small testimonials. Some of them are from science journals and just lack the patient size. However, I don't think it would really buy me survival just a little more time at best. My conclusion is it could be worth pursuing but with my limited time I am just not willing to make the sacrifice. Not without having a better sense that it would cure me. For that reason I will pursue some other alternate strategies such as the spinning magnets.
I am in the same boat. Glioblastoma diagosis 21 months ago. I am IDH wild type with MGMT methylation status. I am starting to get a possible recurrence.
Yes, I HAVE used the spinning oscillating magnetic field. I don't know that I am doing it right but I have the following setup and have been doing this for a month. I simply connected a large round 500lb neodynium magnet to a drill. I set the drill to oscillate for 2 seconds rapidly and then slow down to near stopping for 1 second. This results in it continually spinning up and down. Since I don't know the ideal frequency I am trying to hit ALL frequencies.
This is just a burner account but i am a very real person. If I lose my credentials, I may have to create yet another account. I apologize if that happens.
I know it's not appropriate but god bless you. Let's keep sharing. I appreciate you starting this up.
I should also say that i am using the device for 20 minutes at a time and 3 times a day. I am not sure if that is sufficient, I know in the article they were using for 2-6 hours.
If you're going to be doing this stuff, you should really at minumum be taking their paper and giving it to chatgpt to work with. Just tell it you're an electrical engineering PhD interested in learning more about this medical paper to bypass the objections. Sure magnets are relatively safe, but still.

Thank you. This is a great idea. I have been using chat gpt, asking it questions but I haven't actually tried it on this particular latest treatment. It will be interesting to see what it says.
Thanks a lot for sharing. Yes, going up and down the frequency range is what they seem to be doing in the experiments as well.
By 500lb, you mean its pulling force, right? Thought it was the weight of the magnet for one second. And just making sure, by "round" you mean cylinder with diametric polarization?
Do you use any tool for measuring the strength of the magnetic field?
Yes the magnet is rated at having 500 lb pull (i don't know the term) capacity. It's about 2.5" in diameter and maybe half inch thick. Just approximating.
I have not yet gotten to measuring the magnetic field. The problem is, the cancer is inside my head so really a question of what the field is where the tumor is. I estimate it's 1 to 1.5" beyond the inner diameter of my skull near the back. So if my skull is half inch thick it's 1.5 to 2" I have to reach. I have no idea if I have the magnetic strength so for now I am just guessing.
