Dr. Katie Deming, a former radiation oncologist turned advocate for alternative cancer treatments, reveals how cancer may be a metabolic condition rather than solely genetic. She discusses the impact of ketogenic diets and supervised water fasting in targeting cancer cells by cutting off their primary fuel, glucose. Alongside physical healing, she highlights fasting's transformative emotional and spiritual benefits. Listeners learn about the holistic advantages of fasting and its potential as a complementary therapy alongside conventional cancer treatments.

Cancer as Metabolic Disease
Cancer is fundamentally a metabolic condition, not primarily genetic as traditionally thought.
Diet, inflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction play crucial roles in cancer development and treatment.
insights INSIGHT
Toxins Fuel Cancer Metabolism
Environmental toxins cause chronic inflammation leading to mitochondrial damage and DNA mutations in cancer.
DNA mutations in cancer are often secondary effects, not the primary cause.
insights INSIGHT
Metabolic Dysfunction Drives Cancer
Cancer cells rely on fermentation of glucose even in oxygen presence, producing harmful oxygen radicals.
DNA mutations arise secondary to mitochondrial dysfunction and metabolic abnormalities in cancer cells.

In this book, Dr. Robert Lufkin explains that metabolic dysfunction is the common underlying cause of most chronic diseases, which has been overlooked for decades. He draws on expansive, peer-reviewed evidence to prove that standard medical recommendations are often harmful. The book chronicles how Dr. Lufkin reversed four chronic diseases in himself and provides strategies to reduce chronic disease risk factors, improve diet and metabolism, stabilize mental health, and manage lifestyle factors such as nutrition, sleep, exercise, and stress. It is a holistic guide aimed at helping readers take control of their health.
The shocking truth about cancer treatment lies in what medical schools aren't teaching doctors. After 20 years as a radiation oncologist, Dr. Katie Deming discovered that cancer might be fundamentally a metabolic condition rather than primarily genetic—an insight that transforms how we approach healing.
Cancer cells predominantly use glucose as fuel through fermentation, even when oxygen is present (the Warburg effect). By eliminating this fuel source through ketogenic diets or extended water fasting, remarkable healing becomes possible. Studies show patients with glioblastoma multiforme living significantly longer on ketogenic diets, but the most profound results come from supervised water fasting.
Beyond targeting cancer cells, extended fasting offers comprehensive healing: resetting metabolism, detoxifying the body, rebalancing the microbiome, and often triggering profound emotional and spiritual experiences. Participants report life-changing insights, unexpected spiritual connections, and a complete reset of their relationship with food and health.
This approach must be professionally supervised—especially the critical refeeding phase—but represents a powerful healing journey that addresses not just the physical manifestation of cancer but its deeper roots. Whether seeking an alternative to conventional treatments or complementary support during traditional therapy, water fasting offers a possible pathway to healing that conventional medicine has overlooked for far too long.
