The Metabolic Alternative: "Press"'Pulse"
Seyfried's counterproposal is something he calls the Press"'Pulse Protocol, which sounds like a workout routine but is actually a metabolic strategy to starve cancer cells without starving the patient.
The Press
A ketogenic diet or fasting regimen that lowers blood glucose and raises ketones. Healthy cells can use ketones. Cancer cells, according to Seyfried, cannot. It's the biological equivalent of switching the nation's energy grid to solar overnight and watching the oil barons panic.
The Pulse
Occasional, low"'dose therapies-- like glutamine inhibitors or hyperbaric oxygen-- that hit cancer cells where their already"'limping energy pathways live. Think of it as tapping the brakes on a car that's already running out of gas.
The Big Idea
Shift the focus from genetics to metabolism, Seyfried says, and cancer becomes less of a death sentence and more of a chronic condition-- annoying, persistent, but manageable. Sort of like taxes.
Our personal note, I have been diagnosed with prostate cancer since August of 2025 and I just got my results from a PET scan. I have been on the keto diet since August of 2025 following Dr.Seyfried's protocol and my tumor has not progressed and my PSA score has gone down, so much that my oncologist has decided to put my cancer on active surveillance, and to check my biomarkers every 3 months. PLUS I lost 30 lbs" If anyone has any questions or needs a link to Dr Seyfried's info just P.M. me and I 'll be happy to share. Plus you can look him up on YouTube by Thomas N Seyfried, starve cancer and dozens of YouTubes will pop up.
