🔥 When Hunger Means You’re Winning
After a prolonged fast, low-protein OMAD, or radiation + oxidative therapy stack, hunger can hit hard—and not at the time you expect it. You’re not eating carbs, your glucose is low, you’re in ketosis, and still your body seems to scream: Feed me.
Here’s the good news:
That hunger isn’t weakness. It’s a victory flag from your immune system.
If you’re killing cancer cells using metabolic therapy (like radiation, Methylene Blue, red light therapy, or glutathione depletion), this hunger often means the tumor or lymph nodes have started to die off.
And now? Your body wants to clean up the battlefield.
🧹 What Happens When Cancer Cells Die?
When tumor cells or infected lymph nodes die through oxidative stress or apoptosis, your body kicks off an immune-driven cleanup process:
- Macrophages digest debris
- T-cells monitor for remaining threats
- New cells rebuild damaged tissue
- Inflammation rises temporarily to clear what’s left
This immune surge isn’t passive — it burns through nutrients and energy. But not sugar — your body wants clean fuel, like:
- Ketones (from fat)
- Glutamine & glycine (from bone glue)
- Micronutrients (from antioxidants and minerals)
🚫 Not Normal Hunger – It’s Granulin Hunger
Most people associate hunger with ghrelin, the hormone that spikes before meals. But after cancer treatment, another signal takes the lead:
Granulin – a protein released during inflammation and tissue repair
Especially high when lymph nodes or gut tissues are healing after cell death
Granulin tells your body to rebuild. And to do that, it needs materials, not snacks. That’s why this hunger doesn’t feel like a craving for carbs — it feels deeper, more physical. It’s the body saying:
“We’re rebuilding. Send fuel.”
🧠 How to Tell the Difference: Healing vs. Habit Hunger
| Hunger Type | Trigger | Meaning | Response |
|---|---|---|---|
| Habit Hunger | Ghrelin, insulin cycles | Scheduled eating time | Skip or push through |
| Healing Hunger | Granulin, immune repair | Tissue rebuilding | Feed strategically |
| Fake Hunger | Low sodium or magnesium | Electrolyte imbalance | Hydrate + minerals |
🍲 Learn How to Use Bone Glue and MCT Oil During the Repair Phase
When healing hunger hits, you want to fuel recovery without feeding cancer. Here’s how to use two of the best tools during the post-kill repair window:
🦴 Bone Glue (Gelatin or Collagen Broth)
- ✅ Rich in glycine, proline, glutamine – fuels gut lining repair, mucosal immunity, and detox
- ✅ Minimal protein impact – low in methionine, which cancer cells love
- ✅ No insulin spike – keeps you in ketosis
- ✅ Holds water – great for radiation-induced diarrhea or dehydration
How to Use:
- Mix 1–2 tbsp of powdered gelatin or collagen in hot water
- Add sea salt or potassium for electrolyte balance
- Drink slowly during the 12:30–2:00 PM Antioxidant Phase, post-MB/red light
- Add turmeric or black cumin oil for synergistic repair effects
🥥 MCT Oil (Medium Chain Triglycerides)
- ✅ Converts quickly into ketones → instant brain + immune fuel
- ✅ Supports macrophage activity and ATP production
- ✅ Helps absorb fat-soluble antioxidants (curcumin, resveratrol, vitamin D)
- ✅ Blunts hunger without carbs or protein
How to Use:
- Take 1 tbsp with or after your antioxidant supplements
- Optionally combine with bone glue for a complete healing drink
- Can also be added to OMAD if consumed at 12:30–2:00 PM post-radiation
🧬 Why This Combo Is Perfect
| Benefit | Bone Glue | MCT Oil |
|---|---|---|
| Gut healing | ✅ | ⚪️ |
| Energy fuel | ⚪️ | ✅ |
| Antioxidant synergy | ✅ | ✅ |
| Ketosis-safe | ✅ | ✅ |
| Hunger control | ✅ | ✅ |
Together, they help you rebuild, recover, and stay in therapeutic ketosis, all while supporting immune function and lymphatic repair after major tumor die-off.
✅ Final Takeaway
Feeling hunger after fasting, radiation, or oxidative therapy isn’t a sign of failure — it’s a biological confirmation that your treatment is working.
That sensation in your gut is not a craving — it’s granulin calling your immune system to action.
So don’t panic. Don’t cheat. Feed it smart:
🦴 Bone glue, 🥥 MCT oil, 🥄 antioxidants, 💧 minerals.
Your body isn’t asking for food…
It’s asking for fuel to finish the fight.
