Dr. Vladimir Zev Zelenko @DrZevZelenko · 6h My health update.
Unfortunately, my cancer has progressed and spread to my remaining lung, and may have also spread to my left hip, and low back.
I will have biopsies of the hip and back soon.
There are experimental and alternative treatment options that I am exploring.
I feel good and have no fear. I may have to scale down some of my smaller media events but fully intend to stay in the fight as long as I have consciousness.
It has been four years since I was supposed to die. Everyday since has been miraculous and I attribute my continuous survival to the prayers of loving people.
My Hebrew name is
Velvel Wolf Zev Ben Leah
It really isn’t important when and how a person dies. It is much more important how a person lives.
With much love

Caloric reduction seems to play a huge role as well. A lot of hoopla is made about people in "blue zones" eating high carb diets that contribute to their long lifespans, but what is ignored is the fact that they don't really eat a lot to begin with
Lean proteins, good fats, and not constantly overeating and you should be as healthy as a horse
Yes, that was implicit, but I should have made it explicit. Eating low carbs automatically lowers caloric intake unless you try really hard to not do so.
I am not sure about the whole "low carb" thing for a normal healthy diet. I've seen evidence for that that goes both ways. But in the case of cancer specifically, cancers really like carbs. It's one of the only constants shared among all cancers (I think). Lowering carbs selectively starves cancer cells, thus the recommendation.
What would be lean proteins and good fats? Thanks
