=Non-Ketogenic Fat Intake and Cancer=
There are a number of studies that have looked at the general relationship between fat intake and cancer. [[Omega 3]] may help inhibit cancer, while [[Omega 6]] , and to a lesser extent saturated fats , may exacerbate cancer.
* Fat intake in a non-ketogenic diet impacts tumor growth<ref name="Welsch-1992"/>.
* [[Omega 3]] supplementation may improve the effectiveness of conventional chemotherapy and radiation therapy treatments of cancer<ref name="Hardman-2004"/><ref name="Hardman-2002"/><ref name="Xue-2009"/><ref name="Dupertuis-2007"/>, as well as directly impacting the tumor<ref name="Gutt-2007"/><ref name="Hardman-2007"/><ref name="Kato-2002"/><ref name="Rose-1995"/><ref name="Rose-1996"/> and metastasis<ref name="Rose-1995"/><ref name="Rose-1996"/>.
* Exercise for at least 20 to 30 minutes per day. The book notes that different types of cancers require different levels of exercise to achieve a comparable effect; for instance, colon cancer requires twice as much as breast cancer.
* Feelings of helplessness ([[Internal Control Index| External Locus of Control]]) and past emotional traumas compromise our body's ability to fight cancer. For some, exercise can restore our feeling of control over our lives, but counseling may also be needed.
* Meditation, including yoga[[Yoga]], tai chi, etc., helps reduce stress.
==Cancer as a Metabolic Disease==
This book, "[http://www.amazon.com/Cancer-Metabolic-Disease-Management-Prevention/dp/0470584920 Cancer as a Metabolic Disease: On the Origin, Management, and Prevention of Cancer]" by Dr. Thomas Seyfried, is an expensive, technical book by one of the leading researchers in this field. It's recommended if you want to research more deeply into this topic. There is also a smaller and cheaper eBook called "[http://www.ketogenic-diet-resource.com/cancer-diet.html Fight Cancer with a Ketogenic Diet]" that is based on Seyfried's book.
