GLYCOLYSIS - Greedy for Sugar...

Morning again...

Yesterday, after making a Post about 'Inflammation' and other contributing causes, (I.e. - sugars). One MPNer, asked about what 'Sugar' I might have been referring to in particular. Every micro-biome is an ecosystem unto itself, and that would likely lead to a great diversity of chemical reactions and responses.

My intent here, as a lay-person who endeavours to research some of these scientific findings, was/is merely to show that 'Sugars' of all kinds can and do play an important role within our bodily chemistry, and that in the case of some MPNs, our mutations can feed those abnormal cellular proliferations, which in turn might enhance and signal our bodies to create more of an 'Inflammatory' response...

Hence, cultivating methods where MPNers might help to offset those effects, (through anti-inflammatory diet & following a consistent exercise regime), might prove to be of some benefit over time, in my view...

In my own short experience, (4 years since diagnosis), I have found doing so to be invaluable to my Quality of Life (QoL), and overall general health, and I hope others might also...

The following article, is only used to describe a general finding of how the presence of 'Glucose' at the earliest levels of cellular life, might feed and spread a variety of cancerous tumours. I hope that you might find this article as interesting, as did I...

Best wishes

Greedy for glucose: Cancer cells rely on a primeval energy-producing pathway to proliferate and spread

Thank you Steve 🙏

Interesting. My mother in law used to say that some cancers needed "feeding". Also one of our dogs has cancer. Some days she is ravenous and we can't fill her, the vet says this is when the cancer is growing and absorbing everything she has eaten and making her want more. She is doing well though, she was given 9 months to live 2 and a half years ago, and 3 weeks to live in January. She is still going for walks and playing with toys/ball. She has the occasional off day but otherwise pretty good for a 14 year old dog, never mind one with cancer.

Hey LizzieP...

Yes, I find it absolutely fascinating, is it not?

Fourteen (14) years old... That is some wonder mutt... :-))

Really well done!

Best wishes

We're proud of her, she is a rescue, we got her in a terrible state when she was 9 months old, she's a collie cross and very intelligent and obedient, although she is somewhat deaf these days. She is still very strong and active, her coat is lovely and shiny too. The vet is amazed with her. (but not amazed enough to knock anything off the bill!!)

Heheee...

Nice to know that the world is settling back down to some sort of normalcy... :-))

She sounds a real treasure...

Night Lizzie...

My husband has started calorie counting and cutting sugars right back.

Certain sugary foods trigger off his anxiety it's so weird but since losing almost 2st it's made such a difference to his quality of life.

He always thought it was his MF that was causing bad anxiety when all in all in was his diet too much sugary foods.

Hey Tracey...

Great to hear from you, and your hubby...

I believe that by sharing information w/ each other about various aspects of our MPNs that we will all surely benefit all the more...

Thanks so much for your reply... It really does help us all...

Stay safe & well...
