if you had a problem with your car would you go online for alternative ways to fix a car or take it to a proffesional garage with experienced mechanics? If the mechanic told you he could fix your car, would you listen to them or continue your online search for anonymous advice from non experts?

I alway check online when there is an issue with my car. Tons of informations there from peoples that have found solution for the problem. I no longer go to the garage, last time I was "shafted", big bill for badly done repair that will broke soon after. It is an "alternative" to poor workmanship at high cost.
My car is important, any failure can endanger my life and those of my passagers. I no longer trust strangers to do such important work on my car. There is nothing I cannot do on it and I have all the required tools.
However, if you're that concerned about your passengers then why did you suggest ketone "therapy" in this thread even though it's shown to be potentially harmful in breast cancer cases?
Lisanti and coworkers have published reports that tumor- associated fibroblasts produce ketone bodies to fuel nearby cancer cells. In these reports, the authors coculture immortalized fibroblasts genetically altered to overexpress rate-limiting ketone production enzymes with breast cancer cells genetically altered to overexpress ketone utilization enzymes. Although this phenomenon may occur in the system created by the authors, there is no evidence that this situation would occur naturally in vivo. As described, the literature as a whole strongly suggests that cancer cells of various tissue types are unable to effectively use ketone bodies for fuel. Many cancers do not express the succinyl CoA 3-ketoacid CoA transferase (SCOT) enzyme that is necessary for ketone body utilization, while several reports have demonstrated a notable deficiency of cancer cell ketone metabolism in vitro. It is also widely accepted that ketone production occurs nearly exclusively in the liver, and there is no known metabolic pathway by which fibroblasts could produce ketones from glucose. Without evidence to support this phenomenon in a natural cellular environment, we continue to accept the notion that most cancer cells cannot effectively metabolize ketones for energy.
Remarkably, it has been shown that metformin prevents cancer cells from using their mitochondria, induces aerobic glycolysis and ...

a witch dr is no different than a MD. Only that they operate in 2 different countries. In one they witch dr does what they call a curse. In the other the md give a diagnosis. Exact same thing. Both voodoo curses. Both can work if you're not careful. That why you should avoid dr's at all cost. They'll kill you. They're paid assassins for big brother and big corps.
At what point does the MD do this "voodoo curse" on you?
Which one, out of countless visits to them do they suddenly think "Right, it's time to do the curse thing"?
Who do they select and why and why do they not curse the majority?
I'm really interested to hear your answers on this.
Actually, yes. In my case I had 63 radioactive seeds inserted into the tumour. I felt a little bushed for a week or so. No hair loss, no ill effects, tumour toasted and I'm 9 years clear. Ya...that fixed me.

let me try and get this straight. With radiation, you go from normal to losing all your hair and having radiation poisoning, weak, sick, feeble, then they put you on a endless perscriptions...but that's gonna help you? That's gonna fix you?
Please cite the study so that we, too, may become enlightened. And yes...your claim, so it's up to you to provide the references.
Also there's study that asks like 100 cancer dr's if they would use chemo or radiation on themselves or their own family members or friends. 95% of the cancer dr's surveyed said they WOULD NOT USE chemo or radiation as it's too risky.

It shows that if a person is convinced that "something real happened" they get well. Or if they're "convinced" that something bad is happening ie: cancer... then they get sick. To a large degree it's all in our minds!

lavatrance is misrepresenting the study. The doctors were asked if TERMINALLY ILL would they continue invasive treatment for the POSSIBILITY of extending their life by some months (3? 6? I forget).
This is absolutely not the same as "cancer doctors would not use chemotherapy if they got cancer".

By itself, artemisinin is about 100 times more selective in killing cancer cells as opposed to normal cells. Artemisinin is 34,000 times more potent in killing the cancer cells as opposed to their normal cousins. So the tagging process appears to have greatly increased the potency of artemisinin’s cancer-killing properties. – Henry Lai

You will never stop trolling me, won't you?
The fact is you are ridiculizing yourself with your incapacity to understand a scientific paper. Like an Asperger, you can read the fine print but you are uterly incapable at understanding the big picture.
I will answer the previous question, but not for you as you cannot grasp the concept, but for the others, influenced by your innept interpretations.
If you would have at least read the paper I posted from Poff et al., you would have seen at page 1719 that they comment the work from the team of Lisanti et al. (the paper you posted).
Lisanti and coworkers have published reports that tumor- associated fibroblasts produce ketone bodies to fuel nearby cancer cells. In these reports, the authors coculture immortalized fibroblasts genetically altered to overexpress rate-limiting ketone production enzymes with breast cancer cells genetically altered to overexpress ketone utilization enzymes. Although this phenomenon may occur in the system created by the authors, there is no evidence that this situation would occur naturally in vivo. As described, the literature as a whole strongly suggests that cancer cells of various tissue types are unable to effectively use ketone bodies for fuel. Many cancers do not express the succinyl CoA 3-ketoacid CoA transferase (SCOT) enzyme that is necessary for ketone body utilization, while several reports have demonstrated a notable deficiency of cancer cell ketone metabolism in vitro. It is also widely accepted that ketone production occurs nearly exclusively in the liver, and there is no known metabolic pathway by which fibroblasts could produce ketones from glucose. Without evidence to support this phenomenon in a natural cellular environment, we continue to accept the notion that most cancer cells cannot effectively metabolize ketones for energy.
OK, since someone need to hold your hand, here again: "we continue to accept the notion that most cancer cells cannot effectively metabolize ketones for energy."
And since it is most probable you still cannot understand, it say that Lisanti et al. team used genetically altered cell to overexpress rate-limiting ketone production enzymes with breast cancer cells genetically altered to overexpress ketone utilization enzymes.
==> "and there is no known metabolic pathway by which fibroblasts could produce ketones from glucose. Without evidence to support this phenomenon in a natural cellular environment"
What your fertile imagination with produce to counter this? I have no doubt that you will "invent" something "creative".
A "friendly" advise: Don't quit your day job to work in this field ...
ETA:
A strong hint that the paper you cited is pure bull# is this citation (p.1282):
Remarkably, it has been shown that metformin prevents cancer cells from using their mitochondria, induces aerobic glycolysis and ...
How can you prevent the use of the mitochondrion and induce aerobic glycolysis at the same time? Aerobic glycolysis is a metabolic pathway that MUST use the mitochondrion !!!
I would not bet an arm and a leg on this paper ...
