Good morning to you all! The purpose of this summary post is to draw up a list of the best cheeses to consume, should you have chosen to include them in your diet.

Certainly, cheese is a food that is causing controversy over its health relevance.

Often demonized because it is considered too fatty, especially too rich in saturated fats, too salty, too caloric, or poorly digested because of the lactose it contains, cheese is nevertheless increasingly coming back to the forefront for its interesting nutritional properties, provided you learn how to eat it.

If one wants to make the cheese lawyer, here are the arguments that could be made in its favour:

First of all, it is fat and protein, and carbohydrate-free, therefore totally compatible with a "diet" diet oriented health and sport. Indeed, low-carb diets low in carbohydrates and sugars are back in the spotlight, and the Blooness guide does not fail to echo this.

It does contain saturated fats, but according to some doctors and dieticians, if consumed at the beginning of the day, and not before bedtime, these saturated fats could be beneficial for health and dietary balance. In any case, this is the trail that has been dug for a long time by practitioners of chrononutrition, a type of diet that puts the biological clock back at the centre of the diet, and to which we will come back on Blooness.

It is an ancestral food that is consumed in certain blue zones without any particular health problems.

Finally, there is a plethora of cheeses with little or no lactose, and the salt content tends to be lowered by cheese producers, who even market low-sodium versions.

Just avoid or moderate fresh cheeses, which still contain too much lactose, which in addition to being considered by emerging nutritionists as a relatively bad type of carbohydrate, is not suitable for lactose allergies.

First of all, here is a list of the fattest cheeses. These are the cheeses that should ideally be favoured in low-carb food, and must be eaten in the morning when you get up.

In this list, cheeses that are too high in sodium have been italicized. People at risk should therefore avoid some of these overly salty cheeses.

Top of the least salty cheeses

As areminder, the recommended dietary intake of sodium is 400 to 800 mg / day, and this can go up to at least 1200 mg / day for athletes, and perhaps more for those who practice the ketogenic diet. Ideally, there should be no overdosage or deficiency, otherwise there is a risk to health.

This raises the question of cheeses that are more or less rich in salt (which contains 40% sodium as a reminder).

It is therefore sufficient to consult the above list of the fattiest cheeses, and to lift the fangs on cheeses whose sodium content per 100g of cheese can quickly exceed the recommended intake, which can quickly be achieved if one chooses to eat cheese in the morning as a main food.

Therefore, if one suffers from certain illnesses where salt could be harmful(hypertension in particular), one should ideally avoid Parmesan, Gorgonzola, Caprice des Dieux, Saint-Marcellin, etc... and possibly find their low-sodium version (this exists for certain cheeses such as Saint Paulin).

The cheeses listed below will be low in sodium, and therefore more suitable for people who need to reduce their salt intake. This list is taken from our top fat cheeses, from which we have removed those with too much sodium.

• Low-sodium Saint Paulin
• Emmental cheese
• Reblochon
• Rouy
• Saint-Nectaire
• Pouligny Saint-Pierre
• Vacherin Mont d'Or
• Neufchâtel
• Brillat-Savarin PGI
• Etc...

Top lactose-free cheeses

Now that we've seen which cheeses are the highest in fat and the lowest in salt and sodium, let's take a look at which ones contain the least lactose.

Cheeses very low in lactose (traces)

In general, the older a cheese gets, the more the lactose content decreases because it is transformed into lactic acid by the bacteria present in the cheese. In case of low or moderate lactose intolerance, it is best to choose these matured cheeses:

• Saint-Albray
• Cheddar cheese
• Blue
• Parmesan cheese
• Gruyère
• Maroilles
• Mimolette
• Edam
• Emmental cheese
• Gouda
• the Mimolette
• the County
• the Cantal
• the Tomme
• the Reblochon
• la Raclette
• the Saint-Paulin
• the Holy Secretary
• the Gorgonzola
• the Picodon
• Savoy Volume
• Goat dung or raw milk
• Caprice of the Gods
• Pélardon
• Pouligny Saint-Pierre
• Pavé d'Auge
• the Coulommiers
• Vacherin Mont d'Or

Cheeses that contain little lactose (1 to 2 g of lactose per 100 g)

These should be consumed according to the digestive tolerance to lactose. If there are no allergy problems, the lactose content remains so low that it is negligible in terms of health and figure.

They are usually soft cheeses and have less than 5 g of carbohydrates per 100 g:

• the Camembert
• le Rouy
• the Chaource
• Brie
• la Mozzarella
• la Ricotta
• Roquefort
• the Beaufort
• Tome, paving stone and brick of the Cazelles Gabriel Coulet
• Pyrenean cheese with cow's milk
• Sainte-Maure
• Chavignol dung
• Morbier
• Saint-Marcellin
• Chevrot
• Neufchâtel
• Valençay
• PDO Abundance
• Brillat-Savarin PGI

Cheeses that contain too much lactose

Finally, here is the list of cheeses that should be avoided in the context of a low-carb / chrono diet, but to be reserved if you wish for exceptional meals. Indeed, these are mostly fresh cheeses, containing too much lactose.

• cottage cheese
• le Saint Môret®.
• the Philadelphia®.
• the Kiri®.
• The Caprice of the Gods®
• the Boursin®.
• Tartarus®.
• le Carré frais® (Fresh Square®)
• cow's milk cheese

In other words, you should avoid fromage frais, yoghurt, and of course milk. These foods contain lactose and growth factors, which are harmful to health.

Finally, when choosing a cheese, it is better to choose sheep's cheese rather than goat's cheese, the latter often being a little dry and acidic.

The top of the fattest, least salty, lactose-free cheeses.

And so here is the ultimate top of the highest fat, low-sodium and lactose-free (traces) cheeses. To obtain this list, we have extracted from our previous lists the cheeses that "matched" these three conditions.

We find, in this ultimate top, which will of course evolve, the following cheeses:

• Low-sodium Saint Paulin
• Emmental cheese
• Reblochon
• Saint-Nectaire
• Pouligny Saint-Pierre
• Vacherin Mont d'Or

As those who follow the "chrono" diet know, the quantity of cheese to eat in the morning is roughly calculated as follows: at least the height above the metre, i.e. 75g if you are 1.75m tall (at the beginning), then increase the quantity of cheese to prolong satiety before lunch, especially for the elderly or sportsmen and women. The whole accompanied by bread, weighing half the weight of cheese, and quality (traditional baguette for example), with olive oil.

The choice of bread, as well as chrononutrition, are two exciting topics that will be the subject of articles very soon ...

The following is an overall summary of the Recommended Daily Intakes (RDAs) as recommended by governments for each vitamin and trace element.

This article is a summary of the entire first part of the Blooness Guide, the guide to the ideal diet. In this first part, we learned what was a macronutrientsand we listed and learned about the benefits of all micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) that act in our bodies.

So, in order to see more clearly, and for the sake of synthesis, we have written this list of recommended dosages for each micronutrient, vitamin and mineral salt, as well as their known action in the body, so that you can choose your own multivitamin, in case you have decided to supplement.

Of course, the recommendations are general, and it is up to each and everyone to draw up their own health assessment, and to get in touch with a doctor in order to be as precise as possible in terms of supplementation!

This is not a question of recommending anything, but simply listing official recommendations and comparing these recommended daily intakes with multi-vitamins recognized as being among the best multi-vitamins on the market.

If you know of other brands, other products that are interesting in terms of dosage, do not hesitate to suggest them as comments so that we can add them to the comparison!

Iron, copper and manganese

Judged to be pro-oxidising by certain professionals, these minerals have not been dosed voluntarily at Nutri and Co or Elite. On the other hand, iron was dosed at 73.71% of the nutritional reference values in Chrono Vita+ and copper at 100.02% of the NRVs.

Co-factors and miscellaneous

Some multi-vitamins find it useful to include co-factors in their composition. Cofactors are chemical compounds that are not proteinic but are necessary for the biological activity of proteins.

Cofactors can be either of a mineral nature (Iron, Sulphur, etc) or of an organic nature and in this particular case they are called coenzymes (example: the famous coenzyme Q10).

Here are some co-factors whose merits are praised by some multi-vitamin manufacturers, and which can be found in those listed below.

Yesterday, after sharing with you my ideal keto/low-carb/moderate-carb compatible shopping list for surviving a health crisis such as we are experiencing right now, and in general any crisis related to survival, I now wanted to share with you the best food supplements to keep on hand in case of containment, and precisely in the case of an epidemic, where the objective will be to stimulate your immune system as much as possible on the one hand, and to remain in good general health on the other hand, in spite of reduced social and physical activity, and in spite of an environment conducive to stress.

So obviously, these supplements are neither a medicine nor an antidote, and can in no way protect you from anything or replace any medicine, it is obvious. Nevertheless, a vitamin and mineral supplement can only be beneficial, at least as a preventive measure. But to do this, it is necessary to make good choices, and especially not to rush on multi-vitamins full of useless, badly dosed, and sometimes counter-productive things.

To make this list, I have based myself entirely on the scientific literature, in order to highlight the supplements that are most likely to give you the best chance of success. Some pessimists will say that there is no food or molecule capable of "hacking" the body to make it more efficient and resistant. However, the statistical reality is there: certain populations more or less exposed to the sun, and whose lifestyle and diet are very specific, present much more encouraging health data than other populations.

In addition, there have been a number of scientific studies that have looked at certain molecules, hormones and nutrients that may have very good results on certain diseases, including some influenza.

So I've done my usual summing up, and I've come up with the ultimate list of supplements to take when our bodies are particularly exposed to diseases such as the flu. Feel free to bounce back with comments if you want to add your suggestions!

1- Vitamin D

Whether or not one chooses a diet low in carbohydrates and high in fat, the vitamin D is one of the most IMPORTANT vitamins, all the more so in the case of a crisis such as that of the coronavirus.

And for good reason, when we are confined to our homes, without exposure to the sun's UV rays, and our immune system is in the grip of a viral epidemic, if there is one supplement to be preferred that can reduce fatigue and strengthen our defences, it is indeed the vitamin D. Especially at the end of winter, when, in the countries of the North, we are particularly deficient in vitamin D.

Concerning the specific case of the immune system, although things are not always that simple, and although the body is a very complex machine, there is a consensus that the T lymphocytes, responsible for killing bacteria and viruses, must first find circulating vitamin D, fix it on a receptor in order to start their defence process. This applies to influenza, ENT infections, tuberculosis and wounds and other scars that need to be treated.

In fact, the scientific literature reports that vitamin D deficiency is associated with an increased risk of viral infections. However, in France, 80% of people today lack vitamin D, and this figure can go up to 91% in winter!

Of course, there are no studies on the influence of vitamin D on Covid-19. However, studies on all other viruses that cause respiratory infections, including coronaviruses, can be found in the scientific archives. Here's what it says:

• In this Swedish study, a 36% reduction in the risk of respiratory infections was observed with daily vitamin D supplementation.
• In another study, this time in the UK, the aim of which was to assess the overall effect of vitamin D supplementation on the risk of acute respiratory tract infection, the result is clear: vitamin D supplementation is safe and protects against acute respiratory tract infection overall. In the same British newspaper, there is another study indicating that vitamin D supplementation reduced the risk of death from cancer by 16%.

Other studies come to similar conclusions. But Vitamin D seems to have other virtues that currently concern us, particularly in terms of the release of inflammatory cytokines, the very ones that cause deaths. Moreover, in the case of COVID-19, many deaths are due to what is known as the "cytokine storm". Many studies have shown that a lack of vitamin D can be a risk factor for excessive inflammation, especially in the lungs.

There is therefore reason to believe that a vitamin D deficiency is not favourable in the face of a respiratory infection, and when the immune system is put to the test.

In the diet, you will find vitamin D in the key ingredients of low-carbohydrate foods, including cod liver oil, fatty fish (salmon, herring, anchovies), egg yolk, etc. The problem is that only sufficient exposure to the sun, or supplementation, will cover your vitamin D needs in winter.

As we saw in the chapter on Vitamin D, the official recommendations estimate daily requirements of vitamin D at 800 I.U. a day. Nevertheless, the new wave of nutrition advocates go far beyond these recommendations. For example, vitamin D experts John Cannell and Bruce Hollis estimate that levels between 55 and 70 ng/mL should be maintained at all times.

On this basis, a formula was developed, considering that approximately 75 IU per kg of body weight would be required, that is :

75 IU * body weight = recommended vitamin D dosage

In other words, a healthy adult weighing about 75 kg should therefore supplement with vitamin D in winter at 75 * 75 = about 5,625 IU per day.

The simplest way to adapt its consumption of vitamin Dis to supplement yourself with some vitamin D in drops, so that the correct dosage can be made. Otherwise, it will suffice to opt for a product in capsules dosed approximately according to your needs: here, 2 to 3 tablets per day in the morning will be enough to meet the needs of an adult weighing between 65 and 80 kg.

As a reminder, the vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that can be stored by the body for release. Once the crisis period is over, or simply after the winter season, there is no need to supplement more if you expose yourself to the sun on a relatively regular basis, without abusing it of course.

For my part, for this exceptional event where I hardly see the sun and following a winter where I was absolutely not exposed to the sun's rays, I opted for vitamin D from Solgar, dosed at no less than... 10,000 I.U., which I take about once every 1 or 2 days!

2- Omega-3 fatty acids

As we saw in the chapter dedicated to the ideal distribution between omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9we are deficient in omega-3 in the modern western diet.

According to the ANSES (National Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health Safety), the proportion of omega-3 / omega-6 in the French diet is around 1/20 in favour of omega-6. This can go up to 1/30 according to certain studies. However, The ideal ratio should be around 1/4, according to several studies..

And for good reason, intakes that are too high in omega-6 (found notably in sunflower oil, eggs, meat, cereals, milk and cheese) and too low in omega-3 (found in small fatty fish, certain seafood and nuts, and leafy green vegetables) would be detrimental to general health, and could lead to increased inflammation, and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, to name but a few.

However, in the case that interests us today, namely respiratory complications, according to several studies, omega-3s play a role in reducing the excessive release of inflammatory cytokines. In other words, these fatty acids would make it possible to reduce the excessive inflammation typical of COVID-19 infection, which is responsible for respiratory and pulmonary complications.

So, to sum up, omega-3s have a number of virtues, including, in this case, the following:

• A decrease in the inflammatory response for chronic pathologies (polyarthritis, sinusitis...).
• Involvement in the protection of the immune system, particularly in the development of asthma.

Whether for bacterial or viral infections, omega-3s are hyper-important. This is why it is necessary to consume foods rich in omega-3, to the detriment of omega-6, whose intake is objectively too important in Western society.

And because things are done right, omega-3s are found in... the flagship foods of the low-carb diet:

• Fatty fish: mackerel, salmon, sardine, herring.
• Olive and rapeseed oils.
• Linseed oil.
• Lawyer.
• Nuts.
• Flax, chia or hemp seeds.
• Organic eggs (blue-white-heart label if possible, Lustucru brand).
• Green leafy vegetables.

As we saw in the chapter dedicated to omega-3s, these must be provided by food because the body is incapable of synthesising them on its own, and a deficiency is harmful to health.

According to official recommendations, between 0.5 and 1g of omega-3 per day should be consumed, and they should constitute between 1.3 and 1.9% of caloric intake. However, some scientists from the new school of nutrition recommend consuming 1 to 3 grams of omega-3 of marine origin per day, especially for occasional sportsmen and women or people who want to strengthen their body in the face of a health problem.

For my part, I generally opt for the omega-3s from Solgar, but also those from Nutrimea. Solgar Omega-3 provides 2.4g with two capsules, which is within the recommended range for optimal health. Finally, the best omega-3s on the market seem to be those from UNAE, for objective reasons related to the quality of the product, but I have not yet had the opportunity to try them.

3- Magnesium Bisglycinate

As a reminder, the magnesium participates in the proper functioning of the nervous system, reduces cortisol, regulates water balance, improves energy metabolism, and has anti-inflammatory properties. It is an absolutely central electrolyte for the body.

Like omega-3 and vitamin D, most people are deficient in magnesium for a host of reasons already mentioned in the chapter on this mineral salt.

Some doctors, nutritionists and health experts supplement themselves personally with magnesium. For an adult weighing around 80 kg, the requirements are therefore around 480 mg per day, and Practitioners of low-carbohydrate diets recommend supplementing themselves with up to 400mg of magnesium per day, in addition to what is provided by the diet.

And speaking of food, just like the other supplements mentioned here, magnesium is also found mostly in the low-carbohydrate foods I usually recommend on Blooness: 100% dark chocolate, mackerel, chia seeds, cooked spinach, avocado, Brazil nuts, cabbage, arugula, green vegetables...

Concerning magnesium supplementation, I personally opted for Solgar Magnesium Bisglycinate, 100mg per tablet. Athletes who have made a big energy expenditure over a day generally take between 3 and 5, preferably in the evening because magnesium relaxes, in order to improve muscular and nervous recovery.

But in containment / survival mode and therefore with little energy expenditure, 2 to 4 tablets in the evening should be enough, especially if you have filled up with green vegetables, as I recommended in the list of foods to be stored in times of crisis.

Attention, I expressly recommend the Magnesium Bisglycinate form, which is characterized by a very good bioavailability.

4- Selenium and Zinc

It seems that the combination of selenium and zinc can strengthen the immune system.

In very short, zinc is involved in the production of prostaglandins, which has an anti-inflammatory role, it stabilizes a number of hormones (thymulin, which is essential for growth, and insulin), and it has a significant immune action.

Selenium, for its part, is also an essential trace element since it participates in the body's defence against free radicals by protecting cell membranes. Furthermore, it plays a major hormonal role in the regulation of thyroid hormones and spermatogenesis. In addition, it helps to fight inflammation and even certain viral infections, notably by stimulating immunity.

But be careful not to abuse this supplementation.

For my part, I chose the product from Pharma Nord, which also contains vitamin C, which is always good to take, even if its influence on health is relative, given its reputation.

Conclusion

These supplements may not be suitable for everyone, and some people may find something wrong with them. But in general, a combination of magnesium, vitamin D, zinc, selenium and vitamin C should not harm your body, provided that in your state of health, there is obviously nothing wrong with this supplementation. Finally, omega-3s, which are sorely lacking, are highly recommended.

Other supplements such as collagen or protein powder can help, but I don't recommend them without the practice of an energy-hungry sport. In times of confinement, unless you have a gym at home, there's no point in overloading the body with all that.

Finally, during a period of confinement, I recommend that you drink plenty of water first.

In addition, in case you have opted for a low or moderate carbohydrate diet, with healthy, unprocessed foods, I also suggest that you consume more salt than usual (Himalayan salt if possible) in order not to be deficient in sodium, for the reasons mentioned in the chapter on the importance of sodium in the low-carb diet. I also advise you to do physical exercise at home, both for your figure and for your mental health, and to relax. Magnesium will help you to achieve the latter.

I hope I have enlightened you and I wish you all a good confinement, take care of your loved ones, of yourself and especially of your health!

Good morning, everyone.

Today, I was eager to share with you my ultimate list of low-carb foods to choose from when you shop at the supermarket, in view of the widespread containment implemented to deal with the coronavirus epidemic (COVID-19) that is spreading around the world.

I went to the supermarket to stock up on food, and I found that most people were rushing to the shelves for products with a high glycemic index to stock up.

But as an informed gourmet, if you follow the advice in the Blooness guide a little, you know that these foods are not the best for your body if you are confined for any length of time.

Indeed, in addition to their high carbohydrate content, these foods are generally industrial, processed, not very nutritious, and are likely to make you hungrier than anything else by titillating your insulin, which will lead to overeating, especially in times of stress, and overloading your digestive system.

I'm not even talking about the damage it can do to your line, or the spikes in your blood sugar, let alone what it can do to your immune system, which should be boosting it as much as possible, rather than dragging it into an inflammatory field.

For all these reasons, I think it is preferable to favour ingredients rich in good fats, moderate in proteins, and more or less low in carbohydrates - depending on whether or not you have ketosis - in order to best arm your body to face the health crisis. It's a good thing, it's usually the ingredients that are neglected by other consumers.

It is a very good survival exercise, to be associated, why not, with the young intermittent worker.

Since I have stocked up on food myself, I thought it would be wise to share everything I bought with you, in case the confinement lasts for a long time.

Of course, I have favoured ingredients and foods that are low in carbohydrates and high in good fats, but I have also made sure that the products I buy can be stored for a long time:

This means that rice, pasta, bread, sweets and other industrial products are no longer used, but healthy and nutritious, more or less Mediterranean ingredients, which are perfectly compatible with a ketogenic diet, as well as with a diet that is simply moderate in carbohydrates and relatively balanced.

In this list of ingredients, remember to distribute the consumption of the products themselves in order to have a good rhythm of digestion and not to cause too much overweight:

• cheese in the morning, for those who eat it, with eggs and vegetables;
• meat rather in the middle of the day, with vegetables cooked with a lot of fat;
• canned or frozen fish rather in the evening, with a little fat and few vegetables.

So here is my ultimate list of foods to buy in the supermarket for containment, and which will keep relatively well! If you think it can help your loved ones make better choices!

I. Low-carbon foods to be frozen

• Famous keto vegetables: cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, spinach, asparagus, artichoke hearts, green beans, zucchini.
• Famous keto fruits: blackberries, raspberries, blueberries.
• Quality keto animal proteins: chicken, pork, beef, lamb, small fatty fish (mackerel, sardines, salmon), seafood.
• Cheat bunker days low protein: bacon, sausages, merguez.
• Keto pizzas prepared in advance with cauliflower base, then frozen.
• Eggs to be frozen: you can extend their shelf life by freezing them. To do this, beat them beforehand and place them in a pocket.

II. Low-carbon foods for the fridge, with long shelf life :

• Butter, clarified butter (6 months).
• Hard cheeses, which can be kept for a long time, but which should not be abused, ideally made from sheep's or goat's milk (3 months).
• Tofu (2 months).
• Eggs (1 month or more): To check that the egg is still good, plunge it into a large container of cold water. If it remains at the bottom, it is fresh. If it rises slightly, it is still good, eaten cooked. If it floats on the surface, avoid eating it. Make sure that its hull has not been damaged, otherwise it could be infected with bacteria!
• Mayonnaise, mustard.
• Coconut Soy (see CSD).
• Lawyers far from ripe: 1 month.

III. Low-carb ingredients to be dried

• Vegetable milks: coconut, almond, soya...
• Chia Seeds, Pecans, Macadamia Nuts, Brazil Nuts...
• Canned sardines and mackerel
• Pork and chicken pâté.
• Parma ham, delicatessen without additives, to be eaten rarely.
• Canned vegetables: mushrooms, olives, stuffed peppers, pickles, sauerkraut, tomatoes, spinach...
• Canned legumes (lentils, beans, chickpeas): in small quantities and combined with other ingredients, they will make up meals that are faithful to the Mediterranean diet and therefore moderate (not low) in carbohydrates.
• Onions, garlic, spices, and all sorts of herbs, of course...
• For cooking: first cold pressed extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil, duck fat, coconut milk, clarified butter...
• 100% dark chocolate.
• Herbal teas.

So this is my ultimate list, I probably forgot some things, feel free to bounce in the comments if you have other ideas!

If this list has helped you, please let me know, and if you think it can help others, please consider sharing it!

In the next post, I will share with you my top of the food supplements, vitamins and minerals to choose for containment! And why not the best exercises to do at home in order not to mummify while waiting for the end of the epidemic...

See you soon, and good luck in this difficult ordeal!

Here is a complete summary of the protocol of Laurent Schwartz, the famous oncologist considered "iconoclastic" by some of his peers. In fact, it is a treatment developed to slow down the tumour growth of cancer cells, based on the metabolic hypothesis of cancer, according to which this disease is rooted in a failure of the mitochondrial activity of the body's cells and an inability to manage the burning of sugar.

To date, there is no official proof of the effectiveness of this treatment. But some testimonials seem to show a better effect on people with cancer, and many Internet users around the world have started to test it, with varying degrees of success.

The scientific reasoning leading to this treatment entitled METABLOC is detailed in the various books by Dr. Laurent Schwartz, including the famous Cancer: a simple, non-toxic treatment.

Who is Laurent Schwartz?

Laurent Schwartz is a French oncologist born in 1958. He was a researcher at the National Cancer Institute and then resident (intern) at the Massachusetts General Hospital of Harvard University where he specialized in radiotherapy oncology in the 1980s, before becoming an officer as a Hospital Practitioner in France in the 1990s.

He became famous for a theory that cancer is a relatively "simple" metabolic disease, rather than a genome-related disease that is considered "obscure".

This is based on the Warburg effect, i.e. the drop in the energy yield of the cell. He then brought together scientists from various fields to explore this avenue, pointing to the failure of modern cancerology in his book "Metastases: Truths about cancer"This led to his exclusion from the Assistance Publique des Hôpitaux de Paris, before he was subsequently reinstated.

Since then, Internet users and many websites selling food supplements have taken hold of the treatment he developed. For his part, oncologist Laurent Schwartz is trying to launch standardised trials to confirm or invalidate the results of his treatment, but he seems to have run into some administrative hurdles that are relatively difficult to set in motion.

Originally, Warburg's hypothesis

Warburg, winner of the 1931 Nobel Prize in Medicine, observed just under a century ago that rapidly growing cancer cells had glycolysis rates up to 200 times higher than normal cells from the same tissue.

Otto Warburg therefore postulated that this change in metabolism is the root cause of cancer. However, current official oncology views this "Warburg effect" as the result of a genetic mutation rather than as a cause.

Laurent Schwartz's theory and research

However, the consensus is that mitochondrial activity of tumour cells is affected. Dr. Laurent Schwartz therefore considers the decrease in cellular energy output - for which the mitochondria are responsible - to be the source of cancer. It is thought to be a normal aging of the mitochondria, which are no longer able to burn glucose for energy, causing fermentation inside the cells, which grow and proliferate.

Laurent Schwartz will therefore seek, in a way, to revive mitochondrial activity. To do this, he and the scientists he has gathered have studied all the food supplements and drugs that simultaneously allow the mitochondria to be revived for as long as possible, in order to slow down tumour growth.

After conducting about 100 tests on mice, the group led by Laurent Schwartz initially observed that the combination of lipoic acid (pyruvate dehydrogenase activator) and hydroxycitrate (citrate lyase inhibitor) resulted in the stabilization of implanted tumors in mice.

This observation will form the basis of the metabolic treatment of the famous controversial oncologist, which he will put on paper in his book Cancer: a simple, non-toxic treatment. In this book, the countercurrent oncologist recommends drastically reducing the consumption of sugar and carbohydrates, via a ketogenic dietThis is coupled with the consumption of certain dietary supplements that are supposed to boost mitochondrial activity.

Since then, Dr. Laurent Schwartz has suggested coupling his treatment with conventional treatments (radiotherapy, chemotherapy, etc...) which are now more targeted, more effective, and less violent than in the past.

METABLOC: metabolic treatment in practice (doses, drugs)

Doctor Laurent Schwartz has issued different protocols, which Internet users have tried in turn with varying degrees of success.

Here is an overview of these protocols.

What is made available below is obviously not a prescription, nor even a recommendation, but a simple summary of the alternative treatment, which should be taken with tweezers.

It is wise, before trying anything, to get in touch with a doctor, and to go to Dr. Laurent Schwartz's website to make sure that the information you find here is still up to date.

Protocol n°1 : Hydroxycitrate + Alpha-lipoic acid

The combination of these two molecules forms the basis of METABLOC (Dr Laurent Schwartz's metabolic treatment). Consumed together, they would have succeeded in slowing tumour growth in mice. Here are the recommended doses.

• Alpha-lipoic acid: 600mg by slow intravenous injection or 800mg in the morning and 800mg orally in the evening. Sodium R-lipoate can replace alpha-lipoic acid.
• Hydroxycitrate: 500 mg in tablets, morning, noon and evening before meals.

Alpha-lipoic acid is marketed by the Vitall+ laboratory and can be ordered on the Onaterra website.

Solgar hydroxycitrate can also be found on the Onaterra site.

Protocol No. 2: The ketogenic regime

The ketogenic diet is inseparable from the first protocol of combining hydroxycitrate and alpha-lipoic acid. The aim is to give the least possible "fuel" to cancer cells, which are fond of glucose, by means of this food, which is increasingly being used in the world.

So it goes through:

• The total elimination of foods with a high glycemic index and high glycemic load: jams, sweets, pastries, sweetened drinks, etc.
• The total elimination of all starchy foods: bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, polenta, white and red beans, lentils...
• Total removal of fruit, except for berries in moderate quantities.
• The removal of vegetables, except for most green vegetables.
• The significant increase in fatty foods: eggs, olives, avocados, olive oil, coconut oil to be mixed with vegetables, nuts in moderate quantities, mayonnaise, fatty meats, fatty fish, cream, butter (ideally clarified ghee butter), some cheeses (not yoghurts and cheeses made from pasteurised cow's milk).
• Moderate protein consumption, as the body can make glucose from protein (neoglucogenesis); no more than 1g of protein per day per kilo of body weight should be consumed (100 g of meat contains on average 25 g of protein; 100 g of fish 20 g of protein, 100 g of hard cheese 25 g of protein).

The Blooness guide has about ten chapters devoted to the ketogenic diet, and how to set it up.

Protocol No. 3: MMS or chlorine dioxide

A year ago, Dr. Laurent Schwartz launched the trail of sodium chlorite coupled with hydrochloric acid. While some will be skeptical about the effectiveness of such a remedy, others have taken up the protocol. One must be doubly vigilant with this protocol, which is likely to cause irritation, especially when the dosage is badly done.

Originally, this mixture resulting in chlorine dioxide is permitted for the chemical purification of tap and drinking water, as well as for keeping swimming pool water free of bacteria. It is also used by some hikers to purify their water.

The kit is sold by some food supplement shops, and you have to mix it yourself, using a pipette:

• Mix 1 drop of hydrochloric acid with 1 drop of sodium chlorite in a glass.
• Wait 3 minutes for the amber-coloured chlorine dioxide to form.
• Dilute in a glass of water and drink immediately.

The protocol will consist in taking up to 10 doses per day every 2 hours, before increasing the dose to 3 drops per dose.

Protocol 4: Methylene Blue

One of the last tracks mentioned by Dr. Schwartz's current is methylene blue. For the moment, it is impossible to know the recommended dosage, as it depends on each case.

Protocol No. 5: related tracks

Other supplements have been suggested in Dr. Schwartz's books. Some are the result of experiments carried out by other oncologists, particularly in the United States, and which would have given satisfactory results on certain patients.

Some also follow the same logic: to lower blood sugar to the maximum, so as not to cause fermentation of cells lacking sufficient mitochondrial activity, and to restart the metabolism.

• Vitamin D, up to 10,000 IU / day
• The "Low Dose Naltrexone": this is Naltrexone in a very low dose, 3 to 4mg before sleep, prescribed only by prescription. It can be ordered on this site.
• Metformin, a drug normally prescribed for diabetes, suggested up to 3g / day.
• Diclofenac (sold under the name Voltarene, 75mg): anti-inflammatory that reduces the entry of glucose.
• A proton pump inhibitor, e.g. omeprazole: 20-40 mg per day
• Amiloride: 10 to 40 mg three times a day. Prescription only.
• An anhydrate carboxylase inhibitor, e.g. acetalozamide (Diamox): 250 mg daily. Prescription only.

It is impossible to know which drug(s) is (are) recommended to be taken simultaneously, at what time, in what context and at what stage of the disease, among all of them. This is a synthesis of all the tracks outlined by Laurent Schwartz himself, or by the movement that revolves around the metabolic track of cancer.

It will therefore be necessary to be followed by an oncologist who is already aware of the issue, in order to hope to have possible solutions. Unfortunately, many patients feel neglected by official medicine, which for the moment remains mute on the metabolic track, and only recommends chemotherapy treatments, without any advice on nutrition and the sugar problem.

Some patients therefore embark, at their own risk and peril, on parallel medication, sharing their results on the Internet ...

For his part, Doctor Laurent Schwartz is continuing his crusade, with few resources allocated to his research for the time being. Will the future prove him right?
