Cancer Prevention and Metabolic Disease

Cancer is not a genetic disease but a metabolic disease. By recognizing that cancer is a mitochondrial metabolic disease of energy metabolism, the death rate can be reduced by more than 50% in five years. Obesity has replaced smoking as one of the top risk factors for cancer. Maintaining healthy mitochondria is key in preventing cancer. Nutritional ketosis, a diet low in carbohydrates and high in healthy fats, keeps the mitochondria in an energy-efficient state, preventing the growth of cancer cells. Metabolic therapy, a combination of a ketogenic diet and targeted drugs, such as glutamine inhibitors, can effectively treat cancer and improve overall health. The current standard of care, radiation and chemotherapy, often have harmful side effects and don't address the root cause of cancer, making metabolic therapy a promising alternative.
