When reading, hearing, listening, or maybe even experiencing cancer in some way, have you ever felt like all you wanted was the actual truth, but you were caught between the actual truth and big businesses lust for financial gain? It is insane the amount of money and precious time that goes into research, fundraisers, donations, telethons, documentaries, news slots, marathons, campaigns, apparel, treatments, surgeries, (to just name a few) that the war on cancer is still going on…!
The feeling of not knowing what to think led me to read subjects on fitness, physiology, biology, nutrition, and metabolism. I’m currently interested in the work of Dr. Ray Peat, endocrinologist Hans Seyle, Dr.Otto Warburg, and Dr.Broda Barnes. Reading their work has helped to see that the information around cancer can be very inaccurate.
What is cancer according to the medical industry?
According to The Cancer Institute:
https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/understanding/what-is-cancer
“Cancer is a genetic disease—that is, it is caused by changes to genes that control the way our cells function, especially how they grow and divide.
Genetic changes that cause cancer can be inherited from our parents. They can also arise during a person’s lifetime as a result of errors that occur as cells divide or because of damage to DNA caused by certain environmental exposures. Cancer-causing environmental exposures include substances, such as the chemicals in tobacco smoke, and radiation, such as ultraviolet rays from the sun.” However, this theory has been challenged and proven false throughout the years.

In 1969, researchers had transplanted frog tumor cells into frog eggs and found that despite the mutant cancer DNA contained within the transplanted tumor cells, from within the eggs emerged healthy tadpoles. Meaning, that mutated cancer DNA did not effect normal development.
This is just one of many observations. In Mark Sloan’s book, Cancer Cured, Victory Over the War on Cancer, he mentions studies like: Cloned mice from tumor cell DNA, and Cell cytoplasm-swapped ‘cybrids. They had proven once again that mutant cancer DNA didn’t cause cancer.
Another defect in the genetic theory is the claim that cancer cells are irreversible. There are many studies that prove that this is false, the links below are just a few of many of these studies.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12814947
There was also the 2005 monstrosity, The Cancer Genome Atlas Project. This multi-national “call-to- action” purpose, was to help people understand cancer genetics better and to really find the the pattern of genetic mutations that initiate the start of cancer formation. The goal of the study was that new drugs could be created to focus on each genetic mutation.

What was the result?
Even though the project had access to millions of dollars and access to more than 10,000 tissue samples, from over 30 types of cancer, the results were not good for the genetic theory.
“They looked at cancer cells from different people with the same type of tumor, and scientists discovered the mutational signatures of cells were so different that they appeared to occur completely at random. Scientists also looked at the genomes of cells from within the very same tumor, but instead of finding a distinct series of mutations that could explain how cancer starts, every cell was found to have its own unique set of mutations. They didn’t see just one gene mutation that was responsible for starting the disease.
If it’s not genetic, what is it?
Scientists have found when it comes to cancer, it’s usually initiated by the same type of state or environment within the cell: Poor respiration (Hypoxia).They found that genetic mutations occur only after a cell has been deprived of oxygen. The first person to discover this, was Dr. Otto Warburg in 1923. In 1976, The Textbook of Medical Physiology had even quoted Dr. Arthur C. Guyton he said, “All chronic pain, suffering, and diseases are caused from a lack of oxygen at the cell level.”
When a cell has been deprived of oxygen it reacts by activating hypoxia- inducible factor – 1 alpha. That fancy name can be found in high levels in malignant solid tumors, but not in normal tissues or slow growing tumors. HIF-1alpha then stimulates a vascular growth factor into the tumor microenvironment, which gives a signal for it to grow. What’s the takeaway from this?
That cancer is more of a metabolic issue and not genetic.
Cell Metabolism
Our body is made up of 37.2 trillion cells, and they all require energy to allow us to function and stay alive. So while we live our day to day, working, sleeping, stressing, laughing, etc, our cells are hard at work using the food we eat (metabolizing) and converting it into energy. In turn, we use that energy to eat, sleep, grow, exercise, deal with stress and illness, and also reproduce.
The metabolism of a healthy cell involves a chemical reaction between glucose and oxygen in the mitochondria. The by product of cells metabolism is adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Our cells go through a pretty detailed and complex cycle to create ATP, this is called cellular respiration. However, the 3 basic steps would be: glycolysis, krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation. Unlike a healthy cell, a cancer cell doesn’t go through the 3 steps, a cancer cell stays in glycolysis. Staying in glycolysis means sugar ferments, and produces lactic acid as a byproduct. For a cell to do this it means that the cell has lost its ability to use oxygen, and unlike the krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation, glycolysis doesn’t need oxygen. When a cell switches to behaving like this called The Warburg Effect, the cell becomes cancerous. Now for the interesting part, you can help your cells attain healthy cellular respiration again and repair your metabolism without expensive or radical methods that just make you sicker in the process.
How to help your metabolism
- Increase Co2
– Put 2 cups of baking soda in a bath and soak for 20 min.
– You can also add a pinch of baking soda in some orange juice.
– Bag breathing ( put a bag over your nose and mouth and inhale through your nose and exhale
through mouth. Breathe for 15-20 breaths. Stop breathing exercise if you start to feel light
headed.
- Nutrition
– Increase sugar (add more fruit, juice, potatoes, maple syrup, honey, sugar or fructose powder
in your daily diet.
– Eat only saturated fats like coconut oil or butter.
– Make sure to eat regularly throughout the day, try to not skip meals.
Those are just a few things you can get started on to help your cells receive the proper nutrition, and allow your body to repair and heal. Of course this is not the end of the story, there is still a lot to be covered and questions to address. Such as: Does an excess of estrogen or Progesterone cause cancer? There are many woman who have been prescribed estrogen and progesterone in the form of medications. The word on hormones and cancer is that progesterone can be involved in cancer. Is this accurate?
If you are someone who is on birth control or some type of hormone therapy please read my next blog. I will be covering hormone replacement therapy and how it can involve cancer. I’ll also be covering what you can do nutritionally, to help your metabolism.
