I found this quite interesting:

https://drronehrlich.com/prof-thomas-seyfried-cancer-as-a-metabolic-disease/

Thomas challenges the idea of cancer as a genetic disease through his extensive research and clinical practice.

This fits well with my view that what is termed covid is, in part, various forms of chronic disease and in particular, metabolic disorder.

Hi Brain...hee hee Brian!, thank you. I certainly don't think cancer is a genetic disease. We're all developing small cancers all the time, what we eat, think and do and our environment determines how we support our body in it's natural processes of dealing with toxins etc. I'll have a read of this properly later

His view is terrain oriented in the sense that the terrain affects cellular function:

"That is getting down to the biochemistry looking at how cells produce energy under different conditions. He wrote a ground-breaking book “Cancer as a metabolic disease” and the metabolic therapies that he refers to include caloric restrictions, fasting, ketogenic diets and hyperbaric therapy."

I think there is more promise in this area than in further research into chemo.

I strongly disagree with him on the evidence for ketogenic diets then! Intermittent fasting yes definitely lots of good evidence. https://georgiedonny.substack.com/p/whats-the-best-diet

I think there is more promise is high fibre plant based.

I sense we will agree to disagree

I am not keen on keto either. This view of cancer caught my interest due to the terrain angle and cell energy cycle which I think is important.

Interesting.

Yes the terrain wins at every turn.

I think the cell is important, I remember memorising the Krebs cycle etc at college though I can't remember it now ! - though it is so dependent on so many other things especially when applied to the interconnected network that is diet.

thanks Brian,

Jo

I was writing a huge essay as to how my posts on transmission of 'disease', viruses, the role of 'antibodies' in healing , 'shock' proteins or tumour markers being mistaken for viral proteins , suppression of emotion causing illness agree with everything that he is saying ... but I lost it somehow.

Thank you so much for this. It's like having your half thoughts and ideas completly crystalised and confirmed by someone else
