Bruce Schnaak says:

After 4 years of being on the carnivore diet, I found myself discussing the subject of my “high” blood lipids with my new PCP. Out of that meeting, I managed to get an order for a Coronary Calcium Scan (C AC) to settle the “dispute”. The scan came back and I scored a 65…which isn’t a zero, but respectable for someone of the same age as the score.

That news got overshadowed by the radiologist noting in the report about a “possible lytic lesion” on a vertebrae. Several different scans over the months (including a vague PET scan) led to an eventual needle biopsy of my T11 vertebrae where a diagnosis of Metastatic Melanoma was pronounced. I got a referral to an oncologist and treatment plans were soon discussed. Fortunately, I also am a patient of Dr. Robert Cywes and he recommended reaching out to MD Anderson Cancer Center and I was able to line up an appointment with them and elected to make monthly trips there for treatment.

In the ensuing months I tightened up my eating by ensuring I maintained myself in a level of therapeutic ketosis…this was achieved by increasing fat and periodically using exogenous ketones. Extended fasts were also implemented around my infusions to drive my ketones even higher.

After 3 months of treatment, my lesion was officially stable…although my radiology oncologist noted some shrinking. Another 3 months later I was declared NED (no evidence of disease).

I completed my year of treatments 3 months ago and will continue to have monitoring scans quarterly. Now, things are getting back to normal. I’m confident my way of eating was likely the reason my cancer hadn’t spread to many areas as is common with others with this diagnosis…in fact it was likely shrinking when discovered. That and the fact my “metabolic house” was in order enabled me to escape most of the negative side effects of treatment..

My goal now is to share my story with others and hope it inspires and emboldens.
