Doctors' predictions did not come true: a man claims to have been cured of brain cancer thanks to a special diet

Pablo Kelly decided to abandon traditional and recommended treatments in favor of a meat and fatty diet after he was diagnosed with a brain tumor. According to him, it is because of this that he is still alive. Writes about it New York Post.

Pablo from Plymouth (UK) first suspected that something was wrong when he started having headaches.

Then, after trying to ignore the pain, Pablo had a seizure at work and was rushed to the hospital.

After his tragic diagnosis was announced by medical staff in 2014, he was advised to start cancer treatment with radiology as soon as possible.

However, during training, which included shaving his head and beard, he says he realized he couldn't handle it.

He said: “They were going to hook me up to a radiotherapy machine and I felt a very negative impulse. I just thought I couldn't do it and decided I needed to talk to an oncologist."

He was told that he would live another 12-13 months, but without medical intervention he would die much sooner, in about 6 months.

But he decided to forego the recommended treatment and take an alternative approach.

A father-of-two claims his virtually carb-free diet has reduced the tumor after doctors said it was inoperable.

They were then able to operate and remove the smaller tumor.

He said: "It is my understanding that throughout the period since 2014, the diet has helped contain the tumor." She changed shape and became more accessible to surgeons.”

Made popular by fitness influencers, the keto diet has been proven to help you lose weight.

This diet is not medically recommended for the prevention or treatment of cancer, but several studies have shown that it may help treat certain tumors.

This is because it can slow down growth, protect healthy cells, ease inflammation, or improve the effects of cancer drugs.

But only a few studies have been conducted, and clinical evidence to fully support the theories is still lacking.

Martin Ledwick, spokesman for Cancer Research UK, said: "There is no definitive scientific evidence that following a ketogenic diet (very low carbohydrate diet) cures cancer or reduces the risk of cancer in humans."

“Early preclinical trials are currently underway to study how ketogenic diets may affect cancer risk, but much more research is needed. The best way to reduce your risk of cancer is to eat a balanced, healthy diet, and anyone considering unproven treatments should discuss them carefully with their doctor, says Ledwick.

Tumor treatment

Pablo underwent two painstaking trepanations of the skull, during which he was conscious. This was done so as not to damage his brain during the removal of the tumor.

He claims it was "a very scary and strange experience".

Now Pablo is recovering from a temporary numbness in his left hand and admitted that his “brain is no longer what it used to be.”

Despite Pablo's miraculous story, people with cancer are always advised to heed the advice of medical professionals.

“I just followed my gut feeling, and it’s kept me going ever since,” the man says.

He feared becoming infertile due to his condition and treatment, but Pablo now has two healthy children.

Pablo's oldest child has just started kindergarten, and the youngest will turn one this summer.

However, despite the fact that he continues to live with his illness, he promotes his alternative methods on the Internet.

He added: “For those who are going through the same thing as me, the best thing you can do is ask about the quality and quantity of life. You have to ask about how this will affect you and your family, and how you can achieve a normal life with this terrible, terrible disease.”
