Many of you know the name Rebecca Devine—a true inspiration in the metabolic cancer space. Diagnosed with glioblastoma in 2018, Rebecca is now thriving 7 years later. One of the key pillars in her healing journey? Diet—but not a one-size-fits-all approach. Here’s how her diet evolved through the years: Early phase: Strict Ketogenic + Intermittent Fasting She started with a very clean ketogenic diet, aiming to starve cancer cells of glucose. Combined with fasting, this was the foundation of her early strategy—aligned with Seyfried’s metabolic approach. Next phase: Plant-based Mediterranean focus After stabilizing her cancer and improving her health, she transitioned to a plant-forward Mediterranean style—lots of vegetables, legumes, olive oil, healthy fats, and whole foods. The goal here: lower inflammation and support immune function. Now: Hybrid approach with eggs and fermented dairy More recently, Rebecca has added organic eggs and fermented dairy back into her diet—supporting muscle strength, gut microbiome health, and a sustainable lifestyle. Her core philosophy? Flexibility. She adjusts her diet to what her body needs at each stage, always aiming to reduce inflammation, support immunity, and nourish her body with the best fuel possible. If you want to dive deeper, I highly recommend checking out her Instagram or her Brainy Blonde Podcast, where she shares practical tips and what she’s learned through her journey. Any thoughts? It’s interesting to me that Rebecca transitioned from a Keto diet to plant-based Mediterranean diet after stabilising her cancer. Dr. William Li mentioned about her story in his recent podcast on the Diary of a CEO. She also took part in a novel peptide vaccine program alongside Dr. Saskia Biskup in Tübingen, Germany. This tailored immunotherapy is designed to train her immune system to specifically recognize and attack her tumor cells. It’s a cutting-edge trial using tumor-specific antigens, and Rebecca credits it, in part, for keeping her in remission

I’ve been digging into the research — and here’s what I found: Turkey Tail Mushroom (Trametes versicolor) contains beta-glucans and polysaccharopeptides (PSP/PSK) that can powerfully support the immune system. It works mainly by activating the innate immune system — macrophages, dendritic cells, and NK cells — which in turn helps T cells “see” the tumor more effectively. This is important because Keytruda only works if T cells can see the cancer cells. Turkey Tail boosts antigen presentation, increases tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), and reduces suppressive cells (MDSCs and Tregs), helping to restore a more active immune environment — even in later stages of treatment. Multiple studies (both in animals and in small human series) show that adding Turkey Tail can improve the response to checkpoint inhibitors like Keytruda — helping shrink tumors or slow progression. It is not too late to use Turkey Tail — in fact, many integrative oncologists add it after several months of immunotherapy, especially if there are signs of slowing response or subtle progression (for example: new lymphatic swelling, growing lymph nodes, or new edema). For anyone taking IV Vitamin C, Ivermectin, Fenbendazole, Mebendazole — Turkey Tail is safe and compatible. There are no known negative interactions, and no evidence that it suppresses immune therapy (unlike some strong antioxidants). The best form is hot-water extracted, fruiting-body Turkey Tail, standardized for beta-glucans (≥30%), not raw powders. Summary: Even after 10–12+ months of Keytruda (my mum’s case), it’s not too late to layer Turkey Tail in — it helps by re-activating the immune system’s “innate” side and helping T cells do their job. It’s one of the few supplements that really makes mechanistic sense with PD-1 therapy. If anyone wants more details or help choosing a product, feel free to comment below! 💛

We are at the farm with most of the family😆 Unless someone has a topic, let talk about your "why that makes you cry". The stuff that's just a little deeper than 'I want to be happy and healthy". And for those of you who still practice eating to be in ketosis, let's talk about how to maintain consistency along with stress management and sleep hygiene if we have time. These are all important in Metabolic Therapy and can be the least expensive of all parts of ketogenic metabolic therapy. 12pm Dallas TX time...we are currently Daylight central time zone.

Many plant-derived compounds (phytochemicals) have shown promise in preclinical cancer research — some even reaching early human trials. Below is a curated list of notable compounds, their potential mechanisms, and cancer-related findings from the literature. 🔶 Curcumin (Turmeric) - Mechanisms: Anti-inflammatory (inhibits NF-κB), antioxidant, induces apoptosis, inhibits angiogenesis and metastasis. - Cancer types studied: Breast, colon, prostate, pancreatic, multiple myeloma. - Notes: Low oral bioavailability unless taken with piperine (black pepper extract). 🟩 EGCG (Epigallocatechin gallate, Green Tea) - Mechanisms: Inhibits proliferation, angiogenesis, and metastasis; modulates epigenetics; can induce apoptosis. - Cancer types: Breast, prostate, lung, colon. - Notes: Best absorbed on an empty stomach but may cause nausea or GI discomfort; may also interfere with some chemotherapy drugs. 🟪 Quercetin - Mechanisms: Antioxidant, modulates cell signaling, inhibits glucose uptake in cancer cells, induces apoptosis. - Cancer types: Lung, prostate, breast, colon, leukemia. - Notes: Often stacked with bromelain or vitamin C to enhance absorption. 🔷 Resveratrol (Red Grapes, Berries) - Mechanisms: Antioxidant, modulates estrogen receptors, inhibits inflammation and angiogenesis. - Cancer types: Colon, prostate, breast, liver, melanoma. - Notes: Poor bioavailability; active metabolites may still have therapeutic effects. 🟨 Sulforaphane (Broccoli Sprouts) - Mechanisms: Activates Nrf2 pathway, induces phase II detox enzymes, inhibits HDAC (epigenetic modulation), promotes apoptosis. - Cancer types: Breast, prostate, colon, leukemia. - Notes: Strong synergy with myrosinase (from raw mustard or daikon) to activate it. 🔴 Artemisinin (Sweet Wormwood) - Mechanisms: Generates ROS in iron-rich cancer cells, inhibits angiogenesis, induces apoptosis. - Cancer types: Leukemia, breast, colon, lung. - Notes: Often pulsed to avoid resistance; synergistic with iron supplementation.
