Hi Ray,
The report on the conclusion of their study appears here:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3157418/pdf/1743-7075-8-54.pdf
Their parameters for ketosis were very mild (trace urinary ketones on more
than half of the days of the study) and they permitted up to 70g of
carbohydrate each day. Included in this were some fruits, some vegetables,
and very small amounts of high cocoa chocolate.
This is a very lax protocol with several pitfalls. The protein content is
high enough that in some individuals it would induce nausea, vomiting, and
other signs of ketoacidosis. The carbohydrates allowed would make the diet
very difficult to stick with because they would trigger insulin production
and subsequent carbohydrate cravings. Finally, the minimum level of ketosis
required would also allow for considerable tumor-feeding glucose to enter
the bloodstream.
Despite all of these weaknesses, 5 of the 16 patients with very advanced
cancers experienced tumor shrinkage or stability, either of which is a huge
accomplishment in such cases of very advanced cancers. However, I suspect
that many more could have been helped had the dietary protocol been
structured differently.
Best Wishes,
Ron
