I don’t think your reply pertains to the content of my previous posts.
This may be an old fashioned tip but if it’s T3 stay off the brassicas - cabbage, Brussels sprouts and, I think, broccoli. Also soy is also apparently an endocrine disruptor - you’d be surprised what it ends up in. (May be old news though but I still think it’s still valid.) Also plasticisers - Mary Shomon istr was one of the early ones that said stop using clingfilm, obvs teflon but most people know that now

True Mark but every journey starts with a first step. Even if that begins with veterinarians noticing a reduction in tumours in animalsso people choose to experiment on themselves (their right to do so) and it begins the conversation. When you have been written off by the good doctors and death isn’t far away why not try? There is nothing to loose at that point.
The ketogenic intervention has reversed many illnesses, originally used for epilepsy it’s still reversed more T2 diabetes than any std diabetic clinic. It shows some potential to assist in cancer treatment along side other forms of medication. Driven by very few doctors to try and change a mainstream of zero achievement.
I wish I could find a definitive answer on soy, too many contradictory papers on phytoestrogens good or bad. Certainly for my wife who is going to be taking estrogen reducing medication I would like to know as being a vegetarian she would be normally consuming soy products.
Strangely and to my mind unscientific they are not taking a blood test prior to commencing the meds to see what level her natural estrogen level is. NHS one size fits all apparently. We are having a private blood test done to monitor her estrogen before and during her meds.
Don’t disagree, but we’re talking about two very different situations and ‘levels’ - the ‘no hope, nothing to lose individual’ and huge multi-nationals. The point I was making is that drug companies can’t be as responsive and flexible as individuals. OTOH they’re also commercial entities who’ll obviously trial something if it has potential.
However, there are millions of potential substances to be tested and in myriad different forms; also testing is resource heavy, time consuming and generally expensive, so it’s a procedural bottleneck.

She haa complicating factors so personally I’d steer clear of soy. Could she get to a point where not too many moving factors and then reintriduce if she really wants to gradually?

Apologies if I misinterpreted but I assumed that it was as you were saying people buy stuff on line that has not been clinically proven rather than taking the advice of a health professional.
I had read this myself Karen. Rather unfortunate as I regularly eat brassica. I believe coffee doesn’t help either which is another of my guilty pleasures.

We’ll see Karen, as I said we are having private blood tests done for estrogen and will monitor the effects of the drug and also food like soy to test as the professionals don’t seem to. We are all different so what affects one person may not another.
From the papers I have read, they find estrogen at the breast tumour sites. However the better papers explain they also see damaged mitochondria DNA where cells do not divide properly, which would make far more sense, so the estrogen could just be present but I look at more and more papers to try to see the causual link rather than an associated link.
Just listening to a talk by Dr Isabella Cooper who mentioned brasicas and specially kale and broccoli and thyroid issues (also linked to cancer)

Yes it was, a fascinating doctor, great delivery I could listen for hours .
Ahh one of those Pro-Ketosis doctors
Yes, as a medical intervention it does seem to have many merits. Obviously more healthy than constantly eating.
It does. You can still constantly eat and stay in ketosis thou
Not sure about constantly but yes using MCT’s it’s a lot easier. Thing with that is you also miss out on the autophagy side to my way of thinking.
Ya it has been harder to IF in France but I am going to give it another shot

The AZ vaccine was not Mrna.
It was a re-engineered DNA virus used as a vector.
