Scientists have been studying metabolic treatments as an alternative or complement to standard cancer care for almost 100 years. Such works by effecting the ability of a cell to make energy, something that is equally essential for the survival of both normal and cancer cells, but is particularly important for the uncontrolled growth of cancer cells. For instance, the ketogenic diet eliminates cancer or controls the disease's progress by switching the body's primary metabolism to a fat-based energy source called ketones rather than using glucose derived from eating carbohydrates. Because cancer cells require glucose to live, while normal cells can use glucose or ketones, an effective ketogenic diet starves cancer cells at the same time it feeds normal cells. Ketones have also been shown to demonstrate antitumor and restorative activities.

We're experienced cancer researchers who turned to metabolic therapies after our own loved ones developed cancer. We created this service to give others what we desperately needed when we wanted to get started. Metabolic Oncology provides ketogenic recipes and protocols that put the body in a metabolic "zone" wherein blood glucose is low enough and blood ketones are high enough to starve cancer cells so their growth slows or stops. You can check your blood glucose and ketone levels using the same handheld meters used by diabetics. The meter is part of a starter package containing everything you need to be successful - ketogenic diet recipes, supplements, equipment, educational materials, nutritional guidance and hope!

While the ketogenic diet can slow or, even possibly, stop the growth of cancer, it cannot make it go away. Fortunately, the new focus on cancer as a metabolic disease is ushering in metabolic therapies that may help. Your starter package includes summaries on therapeutics like DCA, metformin, ketone esters and hyperbaric oxygen therapy that may help kill "starving" cancer cells.

You'll also have an opportunity to use two of our cutting edge tools. The first, MO' Answers, is the world's first public repository of information about people using metabolic therapies to treat cancer, what metabolic therapies they're using, how they're using them and what kind of results and side effects they're getting. The second, MO' Prevention, is an open-source research project to study the effectiveness of metabolic therapies in the prevention and reoccurrence of cancer. Both provide easy access to researchers, physicians, nutritionists and dietitians who've spent years at the bench or in the clinic studying conventional and alternative cancer treatments.
