[@KetoBandito]

Extremely interesting. I really hope we are not just studying the effects of these therapies without closely monitoring and even documenting the specific diet and exercise routines of the patients. 🤔

[@user-oe8pd4rn4b]

what about squamous cell carcinoma and in the mouth???

[@SamHansmom]

My husband is fighting stage 4 renal CA. He is in a trial at Moffett. The largest mets tumor in his liver was 11 cm, it is currently less than 2 cm. There’s been no talk about diet, only for him to not drink pomegranate juice. One doctor I follow highly recommends pomegranate juice to help increase ruminococcus, which was found to be deficient in those who did not respond in a study done in France. Thoughts?

carnivore diet with fasting

[@juliethomas7160]

What clinical trial is he on?

[@SamHansmom]

@@juliethomas7160 it’s 2 in 1 infusion every month and a daily pill. They recently named the pill, but can’t remember the name.
