Debunking the Genetic Theory of Cancer

Contrary to mainstream belief, cancer is viewed as a metabolic disorder rather than solely genetic mutations. Tumor cells thrive on fermentation for energy production, emphasizing the significance of metabolic intervention.

The Power of Metabolic Therapy

By depriving cancer cells of their preferred fuel sources like glucose and glutamine, metabolic therapy offers a more effective and targeted approach compared to mutation-based treatments. Transitioning to a ketogenic state can effectively starve tumor cells.

Unveiling the Role of Lactic Acid Fermentation

Understanding how cancer cells utilize lactic acid fermentation to fuel their growth sheds light on the importance of cutting off fermentable fuels like glucose and glutamine. This strategic move hinders cancer progression.

The Impact of Stress on Cancer Growth

Stress management plays a vital role in controlling disregulated cell growth associated with cancer. Strategies such as music therapy, massage, and maintaining a low Glucose Ketone Index (GKI) can significantly impact patient outcomes.

Optimizing Diet & Lifestyle for Cancer Management

Lifestyle modifications, including dietary changes and stress reduction, can directly influence cancer treatment outcomes. A Mediterranean diet, low stress levels, and specific lifestyle adjustments have shown to extend life expectancy in cancer patients.
