The Truth About Cancer Dr. David Jockers: Oh Absolutely! So yeah, cancer is clearly one of those. So inflammation is really a system. it’s really—it’s a response of our body because we know that opportunistic infection is what’s killed more people in the history of mankind than anything else. Inflammation is our body’s response to protect us from a systemic infection. So inflammation is a smart response from our body, it’s an intelligent response; however, most of the time we don’t have—we’re not at risk for chronic systemic infection. So we’ve got to control that inflammatory process and so the food that we put in our body, the way that we think, the way that we carry ourselves, move our body, the toxic load we put on our system, all of these things play a very important role with our body’s ability to modulate or coordinate that inflammatory response. Ty: You had mentioned with the ketosis and the ketogenic diet, to me it sounds almost like the Atkin’s diet, if you remember from 20 years or so when the Atkin’s diet was real popular. Dr. David Jockers: Yep Ty: Is that—is it the same thing as the Atkin’s diet or what is different when you hear the ketogenic diet versus the old Atkin’s diet that a lot of body builders that I knew back in the 90s went from the low fat diet to the Atkin’s diet where they were literally guys that at the gym working out eating cheese and bacon and peanut butter in between sets. Dr. David Jockers: Right. Yep. Ty: What’s the difference between these two types of diets Dr. David Jockers: Yeah. That’s a great, great question. I’m really glad you brought that up because in general the Atkin’s diet is a ketogenic diet. It does stimulate ketone development. And the way that some individuals teach it it’s still—they’re almost identical. However, when we’re really trying to promote optimal health we’ve got to make some differentiations from the Atkin’s diet. So where Atkin’s went right was his approach with a low carbohydrate diet, getting our body running off the ketones. So I’m in total agreement with him about that, keeping our body very sensitive to insulin, very, very important. However, where I disagree with him was he really had no regulation on the kind of fats that you put into your body. And we want to really focus on good fats as opposed to bad fats. So most people in our society assume that saturated fat is a bad fat. What we know is that actually saturated fat is one of the most healthiest fats we can be putting in our body. The fats we really want to avoid are high omega-6 fats from refined vegetable oils and also from factory farmed animal meats. So that’s a big one. And The Quest for The Cures Page 136
Episode 5: Eating Away at Cancer then, of course, trans fats or manmade fats. And so we certainly want to make sure we’re avoiding those things. And so we’re going to load up on good fats, things like avocadoes, things like coconut oil, butter from grass fed cows, okay, individuals that can tolerate dairy protein. If they can tolerate casein we’re going to use things like cheese, raw cheese from grass fed cows, fermented dairy drinks from, again, grass fed cows. There’s a huge difference between when a cow is fed grass and grains, a grain-fed cow actually grows much larger and produces a lot more dairy. In fact, they produce about 20 to 30 thousand pounds of dairy in a year, a grain fed cow. A grass fed cow produces about three to five thousand pounds. There’s a huge difference in yield. Now the grain fed cow though, the grains themselves are high in this omega-6 fat. And omega-6 fat causes inflammation in our body. So the dairy that’s coming from a grain fed cow is very high in omega-6, very low in omega-3. That’s going to be inflammatory. And that inflammatory process, high omega-6, low omega-3, provides a ripe environment for cancer cell development in our body. So we definitely want to stay away from commercially raised animal products and animals that were fed grains. We want to stay away from that. But we do want the grass fed animal products because they have a lot of omega-3s, an ideal ratio of omega-6 to omega-3s. Also grass fed dairy has a molecule called CLA, conjugulated linoleic acid, which many researchers are finding is a potent anticarcinogen. There’s also other great nutrients in there. for example, the major fat that’s in grass-fed dairy is called butyric acid. Butyric acid is a preferred fuel source for healthy gut microbes in your system and it helps your intestinal cells to develop and actually to strengthen so that way we don’t develop problems like leaky gut and ulcerations in our gut and things like that, which is extremely important for helping our immune system. 70 percent of our immune system’s in our gut. And if we have damage to our gut we’re going to have a lot of immune system disorders which could include cancer and other autoimmune diseases. So this grass-fed raw dairy can have an incredible effect at helping the gut to heal and seal and to control itself well. So that’s why it’s such a good fat source we want to include. We also want to include things like extra virgin olive oil, healthy seeds like flax seed, hemp seeds, chia seeds, we talked about coconut products. That should be an absolute staple. Coconut is a super food, very anti-inflammatory and just powerful for our body. So these are the kind of good fats we want to focus on. We want to stay away from— again, Atkin’s never differentiated between grass-fed and grain-fed so it was a lot of commercial animal products using lard and bacon and things like that. And the other aspect of it is that bacon, I am really not a big fan of just from the perspective that it is cooked at very high temperatures. And it may be nitrate free which is certainly a better one The Quest for The Cures Page 137
