>This is known as the Otto Wartburg effect
No it isn't. Warburg effect is observed in cells as a result of cancer.
>Metabolic therapy is tremendously successful in eradicating cancers even in later stages.

Every time anything medical gets posted in HN, the amount of disinformation and bad medical advice is insane. It's easy to imagine (because it keeps happening over and over) a newly diagnosed cancer patient reading your comment and declining chemotherapy because apparently "keto diet beats cancer".
- lambdaba 3y agoSorry it was a sloppily-written comment in which I mixed up some things but the main point stands. The video I posted has a detailed explanation by someone vastly more qualified than either of us. > easy to imagine People can make up their own minds. Why the disparaging comment? After my own health concerns, I stumbled upon this information, and I can tell you, again, that I have seen people have success with a metabolically-oriented approach which involves lowering glucose exposure (principally but not solely), that's not saying just saying "do keto", and in fact some of the people that have done this (see https://braintumourresearch.org/blogs/in-hope/andrew-scarborough https://braintumourresearch.org/blogs/in-hope/andrew-scarbor...) have done much more than that. And often it's because there was NO other option.

- lambdaba 3y agoFair enough, but when I watched it appeared convincing to me, so I think it's worth checking out.
