Detailed study on metabolic theory of cancer versus the somatic mutation theory of cancer. The book is easy to read and well written, it is a must read for anyone who has cancer or has a family genetic history of the disease. Given that chemotherapy drugs are a $150B per year industry, this book is  controversial. The book shows significant improvement to cancer treatments outcomes through the use of drugs like 3BP, a keto diet and hyperbolic oxygen therapy. All of which can be delivered for a few dollars per day. The premise of the book is that even with genome mapping, the how and why cancer occurs is still an unknown. Thus, making targeted drugs for all of the different cancers which can mutate even within a single patient next to impossible. Yet, all cancers have a common achilles heel, they have to eat…a lot! It is well proven fact that cancer cells have damaged mitochondria (the energy engine of a cell) that can only process glucose through fermentation not oxidization. BTW fermentation is 18 times less efficient than oxidization. Cancer’s affinity for glucose is how a PET scan used to detect cancer works. In simple terms, cancer loves sugar and due to rapid cell growth needs lots of it. Your body’s healthy cells can run on glucose or ketones. Cancer cells due to damaged mitochondria can only run on glucose! Ketones  which is energy derived from “fat cells”are produced during a fast (ketosis) or a LCHF diet.

From the first law of thermodynamics, cut out the sugars and cancer cells will have a lot less to eat. Can cancer be cured by diet alone. No! But tumour growth can be significantly slowed down. Studies have shown that fasting (feed your cells only ketones in lieu of glucose) can dramatically improve all chemo therapy outcomes. Fasting causes cancer cells to die off quicker; healthy cells to become stronger and hence are better able to within the rigors of the chemo toxic chemicals.
