Cancer.. where to look for clues
I’ve been interested in cancer for quite a while. Even before I got affected, the complexity and the link with metabolism caught my attention. Despite digging up all the details of how cancer develops and works, I somehow never could find a distinct feature of a cancer cell. I could not find a single feature…

The curious case of macrophages and LDL cholesterol uptake in the pathology of atherosclerosis
Recently I wrote an article exploring what could be at the root cause of atherosclerosis. After the publication a comment pointed to the macrophage and cholesterol not being discussed. I didn’t do this because the root cause brought me to a point before macrophage and LDL-cholesterol comes into the picture. But it got me thinking……

The cause of atherosclerosis is unknown… or is it?
Medical establishment considers a causal role for cholesterol. There has been a great deal of effort put into lowering cholesterol without significant effect on curing and preventing the disease. How come the failure is so big? Is it really THE cause? I’m especially concerned because my LDL level is >300mg/dL It turns out that the…

I already collected material in the event I would ever get cancer. It may seem a bit ironic but we have a high chance being faced with it in our…

Vitamin D and immune system
I won’t know until I have antigen testing done but I’m fairly sure I was infected with the SARS-COV-v2 aka COVID-19 at the starting of March. Last year I was also diagnosed with lymphoma. The connection between the 2 is that the lymphatic system is involved in the defense against infectious pathogens. If you have…

Fructose, the really bad guy
I came across a couple of resources and started to appreciate how different fructose is from glucose. In the low carb community, carbohydrates are obviously avoided or at least high amounts of it as they are generally considered bad. I support this approach but when we zoom in on fructose we notice that it is…

Prurigo Pigmentosa aka keto-rash
Prurigo Pigmentosa (PP) is a skin rash that can establish itself when people transition to a ketogenic diet. If you want to know how it looks like then you’ll find plenty of examples on Google. On our Reddit channel r/ketoscience we have published case reports and sometimes get people questioning about it. Obviously people who…
