How to use metabolic switching to fight cancer through epigenetic changes? CancerDialysis?
Today, we know that epigenetic changes are a significant contributor to the development and progression of cancer. It is important to note that, unlike genetic changes in DNA, epigenetic changes can be neutralized by so-called HDAC inhibitors. Ketones an alternative fuel that humas can use instead of glucose during calorie restricted conditions, are a physiological inhibitor of most HDACs and can restore several epigenetic alterations that are commonly seen in most cancers when present in physiological levels.
CancerDialysis, as suggested, will use dialysis to create a pronounced ketogenic condition. One important effect from CancerDialysis, may be the reduction of epigenetic alterations that promote cancer survival and progression in cancer.
