Studying the Correlations between Adiponectin and Ketone Bodies, and Visceral Fat in Ulcerative Colitis, Lung-bronchial Carcinoids and Recurrent Pancreatic Cancer Cases Treated by Integrative Medicine Coupled with 3 Days Fasting and Carbohydrate Restricted Diet, and Report of Clinical Improvements

Abstract

: The integrative medical treatment together with 3 days fasting (supplemented with 100 ml of low molecular weight fucoidan) and carbohydrate restricted diets exhibited higher values of ketone body and adiponectin in the cases of ulcerative colitis conditions, bronchial carcinoids and recurrent pancreatic cancers which revealed a tendency to show inverse relationships correlating with visceral fat. Based on the present cases, I report with some considerations about the results that the inverse correlation between high values of ketone body as well as adiponectin and visceral fats suggests the possibility of such inverse correlation will be more reliable prognostic indicator for improved symptoms.
