Cancer is a Metabolic Disease
By Dr. Thomas Seyfried and Paul Marik, MD, FLCC 19 July 2023
E. Rowell: Dr. Seyfried studies cancer in the lab. He describes his re-discovery of work done by Dr. Warburg, a biochemist in the period of 1930-1960, and Dr. Seyfried’s own experiments which have proved that cancer is a metabolic disease.
The current standard of care in oncology is that cancer is a disease caused by genetic mutations. Thus chemotherapy is often designed to correct these genetic mutations. Cancer chemotherapy is usually very toxic, especially to the immune system, but also to potentially all cells in the body.
What has been discovered is that any malignant tumor requires glucose and glutamine to survive. The rest of the body can survive very well without glucose and carbohydrates which are broken down to sugars. Thus if glucose and other carbohydrates are not ingested, no tumor can survive. This is true of brain tumors, colon, lung, prostate, and blood cancers as well.
