Every doctor learned back in medical school all about Otto Warburg's discovery: a discovery of humongous proportions, because way back in the thirties Otto discovered the main biochemical cause of cancer, or what differentiates a cancer cell from a normal cell, healthy cell. So a big discovery was this, that Otto Warburg was awarded the Nobel Prize.
Cancer has only one prime cause. It is the replacement of normal oxygen respiration of the body's cells by an anaerobic ( ie. oxygen-deficient) cell respiration- Dr Otto Warburg.
But what else does Dr Warburg's discovery tell us. First off, it tells us that cancer metabolizes differently than normal cells. Normal cells need oxygen. Cancer cells despise oxygen. In fact, oxygen therapy is a favourite among many of the alternative clinics we've reseacrhed
Another thing this tells us is that cancer metabolizes through a process of fermentation. If you've ever made wine, you'll know that fermenatation requires sugar. The metabolism of cancer is approximately 8 times greater than the metabolism of normal cells.
Okay, so here is what we can put together knowing the above: The body is constantly overworked trying to feed the cancer. The cancer is constantly on the verge of starvation annd thus constantly asking the body to feed it. When the food supply is cut off, to cancer begins to starve unless it can make the body produce sugar to feed itself.
The wasting syndrome, cachexia, is the body producing sugar from proteins (you heard it right, not from carbohydrates or fats, but from proteins) in a process called glyogenisis. This sugar feeds the cancer. The body finally dies of starvation, trying to feed the cancer.
Not knowing that one's cancer needs sugar, does it make sense to feed it sugar? Does it make sense to have a high carbohydrate diet?
The reason Food therapies for cancer even exist today (beyond the fact that they work) is because someone oncce saw the connection between cancer and sugar. There are many food therapies, but not a single one allows many foods high in carbohydrates and not a single one allows sugars, BECAUSE SUGAR FEEDS CANCER.
Why doesnt your physician tell you this? Hard to tell. Maybe your doctor feels it is his job to cure your cancer, not yours. maybe your doctor learned about Warburg, but never put the rest together, never replaced nutrition into the equation. Maybe because your physician didn't study nutrition. Heck, as late as 1978, thr AMA's official position (found in the Congressional Record) was nutrition had nothing to do with the disease.
However, those who have paid attention to this sugar craving cancer stuff have come ip with some remarkable therapies for cancer.
Laetrile is just one.
Hydrazile Sulfate, which stops the process of glycogenis is greater than 50% of all patients with cachexia is another.
Today at the University of Minnesota, they are experimenting with a chemotherapy in a smart bomb. Heres the scoop: the drug is wrapped in a coating in a coating that stays inact as it travels through the body, that until it reaches a location of no oxygen. When it reaches this no oxygen location, the coating falls apart releasing the chemotherapy to destroy the cancer, because the only place in your body where there is no oxygen is the cancer site.
That there are food therapies aimed at starving cancer. Knowing what cancer loves, the cancer patient avoids them. Cancer likes cooked foods over raw (cooking destroys enzymes and heat sensitive vitamins) so check our article on the cancer diet. And, do not forget cancer loves sugar. If you dislike your cancer, then do not feed it.
