Description

Book Introduction

83% of terminally ill cancer patients recover with ketone bodies.

“Amazing results that demonstrate the healing power of the ketogenic diet!”
- Supervised by Lee Young-hoon (low-carb, high-fat diet expert, physician)

“A disease that cannot be cured with food cannot be cured with medicine.
“Let food be your medicine.”
-Hippocrates

Dr. Kenji Furukawa, who successfully improved the condition of 83% of terminal cancer patients with the world's first carbohydrate-restricted diet tailored to cancer patients, has published "Ketone Revolution" by Panmidong.

Ketone bodies are emergency energy sources used when glucose is not supplied to the body due to carbohydrate restriction or fasting. It has been a well-known medical theory that higher ketone levels are bad for your health.
Only recently has ketone bodies been cleared of their false reputation and are gaining attention as a key substance for treating chronic diseases and illnesses prevalent in society.

Dr. Furukawa developed a customized “Immuno-nutritional Ketogenic Diet” for cancer patients, taking note of the fact that cancer cells use glucose as their primary energy source.
The immune-nutritional ketogenic diet is a diet that pursues extreme carbohydrate restriction of 95% to kill cancer cells. Through clinical research, it was proven for the first time in the world that the combination of high protein, high fat, and low carbohydrates helped 83% of terminal cancer patients recover.

Existing cancer treatments have a blind spot in that they damage not only cancer cells but also normal cells.
However, the ketogenic diet, which boosts patients' immunity through rich food ingredients, can be considered a groundbreaking discovery that can help existing cancer treatments because it kills cancer cells and keeps normal cells healthy.

Into the book

A significant number of the participants were stage 4 cancer patients.
Stage 4 refers to a condition where distant metastasis has occurred beyond the original site of cancer (primary site), making surgery impossible.
This is the so-called 'terminal' stage, and at this point, many doctors give up on treatment, saying 'there is nothing we can do now.'
Considering that, it is no exaggeration to say that the 39% cure rate and 83% disease control rate are figures that overturn conventional wisdom in the medical community.
This clearly indicates that dietary therapy, namely the immunonutritional ketogenic diet, has the potential to be a supportive therapy in cancer treatment.

--- p.15~16

To capture an enemy who has locked down the castle gates and is sieging, simply block all escape routes and cut off their food supply lines.
However, if you try to use the above-mentioned operation in cancer treatment, the story is a bit different.
This is because both enemies (cancer cells) and allies (normal cells) exist within the castle.
When attacking an enemy, it is meaningless if your allies are also affected.
If you try to strengthen your allies but end up boosting the enemy's morale, that too is a waste of time.
In this case, you should deploy a tactic of striking only the enemy and providing covering fire to your allies.
The carbohydrate restriction diet I introduced also follows this tactic.

--- p.21

Cancer is a Chinese character that is created by adding the radical '어(?)', which means disease, to the variant '?' of '암(岩)', which means rock.
In other words, 'cancer' can be interpreted as a disease in which 'food' exists like a 'mountain'.
Just as overeating and gluttony in modern society cause chronic diseases such as diabetes, gout, and high blood pressure, our ancestors also knew from experience that overeating causes 'a disease that causes hard lumps like rocks.'
An important hint about cancer treatment is hidden right here.

--- p.30

Cancer cells use glucose, which is synthesized from carbohydrates, as their main source of nutrition.
They also need to absorb 3 to 8 times more glucose than normal cells to sustain life.
Meanwhile, normal cells can generate emergency energy from subcutaneous fat when glucose is not supplied.
The emergency energy source that replaces this glucose is a substance called 'ketone bodies', which this book considers a key element in cancer treatment.
--- p.30

Normal cells, except for the liver and red blood cells, can use ketone bodies for energy, but cancer cells are basically unable to use ketone bodies for energy.
This is because there are very few enzymes that convert ketone bodies into energy.
Therefore, by switching the energy production system of cancer patients from glucose dependence to ketone body dependence, it is possible to inhibit cancer cell division, shrink the cancer, and in some cases even kill it.

--- p.49

It is known that the increase in total ketone body index peaks 3 to 4 hours after consuming MCT oil, and the reason Mr. A's ketone body level continued to rise after that is because his body was using ketone bodies as its main energy source rather than relying on energy production through sugar production.
This shows that after MCT oil was consumed in the body, Mr. A's body started the ketone engine by burning his subcutaneous fat or visceral fat.
So how did Mr. A, who was battling cancer, achieve such a high total ketone index? How much did his condition improve?
--- p.103~104

I can't help but think of Steve Jobs, who died in October 2011 from pancreatic cancer that metastasized to his liver.
After being diagnosed with cancer, he refused Western medical treatment and opted for Eastern medical approaches such as protein restriction and vegetarianism.
After that, the pancreatic cancer grew and he had surgery to remove it and survived for nearly 10 years.
Considering that Jobs' pancreatic cancer was a slow-growing neuroendocrine tumor, a protein boost to improve nutrition and immunity would have been absolutely necessary.
It is regrettable that if Jobs had not restricted protein and followed an immune-nutritional ketogenic diet, his post-surgery prognosis might have been much improved.

--- p.122~123

Mitochondria produce energy from carbohydrates, fats, and oxygen.
This 'energy-generating factory' exists in all cells except red blood cells and has a powerful effect in inducing cancer cells to apoptosis.
Mitochondria also have a metabolic pathway that converts ketone bodies, which cancer hates, into energy.
This means that the stronger the mitochondria, the less likely cancer cells are to survive.

--- p.212~213

Publisher's Review

Not only diet, but also cancer treatment?
The Key Principle of How Ketone Bodies Eliminate Cancer

Following the craze for high-fat, low-carbohydrate diets, mimicked fasting (FMD), which simulates fasting while consuming food, has become a huge craze.
As it was discovered that 'ketone bodies' were at the center of it, 'ketone bodies' quickly emerged as a topic of interest to modern people.

Ketone bodies are substances produced when fat is broken down, and their levels improve when carbohydrate intake is restricted and fat intake is increased.
But the power of ketone bodies isn't limited to dieting.
It is used to improve metabolic diseases such as diabetes, and recently, it has begun to be applied to the treatment of cancer, one of the most serious diseases.
However, it was not enough to dispel the doubts of 'no matter how great ketone bodies are, can they really cure cancer?'
Cancer is a very serious disease, and because it is still in its early stages of application, there is not enough reliable data to prove that ketone bodies can treat cancer.
"The Ketone Revolution" shows the process of recovering 83% of terminal cancer patients through clinical trials and focuses on the "key principle of how ketone bodies eliminate cancer."
This is a world-first discovery and an incredible achievement that demonstrates the power of the ketogenic diet.

Carbohydrates cause cancer?
Carbohydrate-restricted ketogenic diet that fights cancer

Cancer is a Chinese character that is created by adding the radical '엄' meaning disease to the variant form of '암(岩)', and '암(癌)' is a disease in which '식(食品)' is like '산(山)'.
An important hint about cancer treatment is hidden right here.
Cancer cells use glucose, which is synthesized from carbohydrates, as their main source of nutrition.
They also need to absorb 3 to 8 times more glucose than normal cells to sustain life.
Dr. Furukawa, noting this point, developed a customized "Immuno-nutritional Ketogenic Diet" for cancer patients. The Immuno-nutritional Ketogenic Diet is a diet that pursues extreme carbohydrate restriction, limiting carbohydrates by 95%, thereby increasing ketone levels and killing cancer cells.

The author compares the fact that existing cancer treatments damage not only cancer cells but also normal cells to the reality that "there are enemies (cancer cells) and allies (normal cells) inside a castle, so we have no choice but to lock the castle gates and launch an attack."
Dr. Furukawa suggests that since attacking the enemy would be meaningless if allies were also affected, we should adopt a tactic of only striking the enemy and protecting allies.
The immune-nutritional ketogenic diet aims to kill cancer cells and keep normal cells healthy by strategically excluding sugars that cancer likes and starving only the cancer cells to death.
This is the crucial reason why ketone bodies have emerged as a key substance in treating cancer.

If you knew the power of ketones
Now it's time to focus on 'mitochondria'!

This book emphasizes that changing the patient's energy production system from a 'glucose engine type' to a 'ketone body engine type' is a critical factor in determining the success or failure of cancer treatment.
The key force here is the 'mitochondria'.
Mitochondria, also called "energy factories" because they produce energy from carbohydrates, fats, and oxygen, are present in all cells except red blood cells and induce cancer cells to undergo "apoptosis," a process that causes them to die on their own.
This means that the stronger the mitochondria, the lower the chance of cancer cells surviving.
The authors advise that to strengthen mitochondria, you need an immune-nutritious ketogenic diet that limits total calories by about 25%, as well as high-intensity aerobic exercise.

Mitochondria induce DNA repair, gradually returning the cancer-affected body to a normal state.
In that respect, it is essential not only for cancer patients undergoing treatment but also for patients entering the recovery phase.
It is also an essential substance for modern people suffering from obesity and metabolic diseases.
This is why we need to focus on mitochondria after ketone bodies.

Can cancer patients enjoy the pleasure of sweet desserts?
A Delicious Diet Tailored to Cancer Patients Revealed

Until now, healthy diets for cancer patients have been good for the body, but they have not been pleasing to the eyes or mouth.
Dr. Kenji Furukawa emphasizes that food should be enjoyed to the fullest extent possible, and cancer patients should not be an exception to this.
If you focus only on health, you will not be able to maintain your diet for long because you will be attacked by a strong enemy called stress.

This book introduces over 400 foods containing carbohydrates, proteins, and fats essential for cancer patients, and presents various recipes using these foods.
From chicken, pasta, and pork cutlet, which may seem distant to cancer patients, to sweet dessert jelly, we help patients experience not only the pleasure of eating but also the pleasure of seeing.
We also reveal the weekly diet plan of Mr. A, who overcame multiple liver cancers with the immune system booster ketogenic diet, and provide realistic and specific methods of implementation.

Although "The Ketogenic Revolution" provides various food groups and recipes necessary for cancer patients, it does not necessarily emphasize that diet is the only important factor in cancer treatment.
Rather, the significance lies in having one more weapon to conquer cancer while combining it with various treatments.
In that sense, it can be said that this book is like a friend accompanying cancer patients.
