The foundation of my alternative cancer treatment

At the foundation of my cancer treatment lies the work of Nobel Prize-winning Otto Warburg. In the 1920s, he researched the metabolism and respiration of cancer cells.
Warburg found that cancer growth is caused by tumor cells generating energy mainly by the anaerobic breakdown of glucose (known as fermentation or anaerobic respiration)
Reverse engineering these findings results in depriving cancer of glucose, its primary source of energy, while well oxygenating the body.
Translating this to real life, I am cycling prolonged fasting followed by periods of a strict ketogenetic diet. This diet is high in fat and low to moderate in protein, with only trace amounts of carbohydrates.
A typical 3-week treatment cycle consists of 4 days of water-fasting followed by 17 days of eating. Entering those 17 days in deep ketosis, I must regain the weight I lost during the fast before starting the next cycle. I lose close to a kilogram per day of body weight during the fast, and I don't have endless body fat reserves at 1.76m (5ft8) with a 70kg (155lb) body weight. So, preserving muscle mass and body weight is a concern.
All food I consume is weighed and logged in an app so that I know the precise amount of nutrients and calories I use. This is where kitchen becomes pharmacy.
The fasting and keto cycles are the foundation of my therapy, and all other treatment builds on that.
