Learn about the anti-cancer benefits of Cannabigerolic acid (CBGa), a non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant.

Written by Keith Bishop, Clinical Nutritionist, Cancer Coach, and Retired Pharmacist

The world of health and wellness is continually evolving, with new research and discoveries coming to light regularly. One such breakthrough is the potential anti-cancer benefits of Cannabigerolic acid (CBGa), a non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant. This blog post explores the potential benefits of CBGa, its sources, and possible concerns and side effects, all backed by medical journal references.

Understanding CBGa

CBGa, often called the "mother of all cannabinoids," is the precursor from which other cannabinoids are made in the plant. It's sourced from the cannabis plant, specifically from young, immature plants. CBGa is non-psychoactive, meaning it won't cause the "high" associated with cannabis use. Its previous research has been hampered because t...

Cancer Cells Thrive on Glucose and L-Glutamine: Insights from Dr. Thomas Seyfried

Dr. Thomas Seyfried, PhD, has extensively researched how cancer cells depend on glucose and L-glutamine for their growth and proliferation. Cancer cells exhibit altered metabolism, relying heavily on glucose (the Warburg effect) and L-glutamine (an amino acid) to fuel their rapid division and growth. By disrupting these metabolic pathways, we can effectively starve cancer cells and inhibit their growth.

This paper discusses the Glucose Ketone Index (GKI) a tool developed by Dr. Thomas Seyfried and his team at Boston College, and L-Glutamine restriction as a strategy for managing cancer growth.[1] The GKI It is the ratio of blood glucose to ketone bodies. The higher the ratio the higher the glucose and lower the ketone bodies. The lower the ratio the lower the glucose and higher the ketone bodies.

GKI and Cancer

There is a very strong association between elevated blood glucose, oxidative stress, inflammation and the higher risk of cancer.[2] Ketone bodies (the body using fat for energy) and ketogenic diets appear to be powerful agents in treating human cancers. Ketone bodies often enhance the effectiveness of chemotherapy treatments.[3]

Dr. Seyfried's research in the realm of cancer treatment has shown increasingly impressive therapeutic outcomes with lower GKI r...

Understanding Copper's Dual Role in Our Bodies and Its Link to Cancer

Written by Keith Bishop, Clinical Nutritionist, Cancer Coach, and Retired Pharmacist

The Benefits and Needs of Copper:

Copper is essential in the human body. Copper is a vital trace mineral necessary for survival. It plays a crucial role in forming red blood cells, maintaining nerve cells, and supporting the immune system. It also aids in the absorption of iron and the development of healthy connective tissue. However, like many things, balance is key.

Copper is essential for cardiovascular health, bone strength, and aiding antioxidant defenses. Copper is integral to various enzymatic reactions and to energy production in mitochondria.

High Levels of Copper and Cancer Risk:

Excessive copper can lead to oxidative stress and DNA damage, potentially increasing the risk of cancer development. Copper plays a significant role in this process because it participates in redox reactions, chemical reactions that involve ...

Sauerkraut, a traditional fermented cabbage dish, contains lactic acid bacteria and cabbage compounds that can help prevent cancer by promoting detoxification, reducing inflammation, and enhancing the immune system.

Sauerkraut is extremely low in carbohydrates, so it is Kancer Keto ✅ Approved!

However, it’s essential to enjoy sauerkraut in moderate amounts due to its high salt content, which has been associated with an increased risk of laryngeal, esophageal and stomach cancers. To reap the benefits without overdoing it, add a tablespoon or two to your meals a few times a week. My preference is sauerkraut in a jar to reduce exposure to estrogenic plastic exposure.

Learn about cancer's use of L-Glutamine and how certain herbs can decrease its availability. 

Written by Keith Bishop, Clinical Nutritionist, Cancer Coach, and Retired Pharmacist. 

Cancer cells are notorious for their rapid growth and proliferation. They rely heavily on specific nutrients, particularly L-glutamine and glucose, to sustain this. These cells undergo metabolic reprogramming, consuming large amounts of glutamine to produce amino acids, nucleotides, and fatty acids essential for survival and growth.[i] This phenomenon, often referred to as "glutamine addiction," makes glutamine metabolism a critical target for cancer therapy.[ii]

Researchers are exploring various strategies to exploit this dependency. By targeting glutamine transporters and enzymes involved in its metabolism, they aim to disrupt the supply of this vital nutrient to cancer cells, thereby inhibiting their growth and inducing cell death.[iii] This approach holds promise for developing new cancer treatments t...
