What if everything we thought we knew about cancer was wrong? For decades, scientists have debated what really causes cancer. Is it genetic mutations, as the Somatic Mutation Theory suggests? Is it a metabolic dysfunction, as the Metabolic Theory argues? Or is there a deeper, overlooked truth—one that could redefine cancer treatment as we know it? In this episode, Dr. Ralph Moss and Ben Moss break down the battle between competing cancer theories, why conventional wisdom is being challenged, and what the latest research is uncovering about cancer stem cells, metabolism, and the Warburg Effect.

More than a billion people around the world suffer from mental and neurological disorders, and the numbers are escalating rapidly. Current treatments often fail to provide relief, resulting in many patients struggling with persistent symptoms and resistance to available therapies.In this episode, we're sharing a full presentation by world-renowned Harvard Psychiatrist, Dr. Christopher Palmer, filmed at Metabolic Health Summit 2024. Dr. Palmer presents a novel perspective that examines the potential link between metabolic dysfunction and mental illness. His theory, Brain Energy, proposes that metabolic dysfunction may serve as a unifying mechanism underlying various mental health conditions.Key highlights from this episode include: A dive into the surge in prevalence of mental disorders such as autism, ADHD, and depressionCurrent limitations and challenges within traditional treatment optionsEmerging evidence suggesting metabolic dysfunction as a potential root cause of mental illnessesThe role of the ketogenic diet and other innovative treatmentJoin us for an insightful exploration with Dr. Palmer as we examine how metabolism could reshape our understanding and treatment of mental health conditions.About Dr. Chris PalmerDr. Christopher M. Palmer is a Harvard psychiatrist and researcher working at the interface of metabolism and mental health. He is the Founder and Director of the Metabolic and Mental Health Program and the Director of the Department of Postgraduate and Continuing Education at McLean Hospital and an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. For almost 30 years, he has held administrative, educational, research, and clinical roles in psychiatry at McLean and Harvard. He has been pioneering the use of the medical ketogenic diet in the treatment of psychiatric disorders—conducting research in this area, treating patients, writing, and speaking around the world on this topic. Most recently, he has proposed that mental disorders can be understood as metabolic disorders affecting the brain, which has received widespread recognition in both national and international media outlets.Special Thanks to our Episode Sponsors: Genova Connect, powered by Genova Diagnostics: Receive 15% off any of their tests with code METABOLICLINK here.AirDoctor: Receive up to $300 off select air purifiers with code METABOLICLINK here.Timeline: Receive 10% off your first order of Mitopure.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: The Cancer Resolution?, published by PeterMcCluskey on July 24, 2024 on LessWrong. Book review: The Cancer Resolution?: Cancer reinterpreted through another lens, by Mark Lintern. In the grand tradition of outsiders overturning scientific paradigms, this book proposes a bold new theory: cancer isn't a cellular malfunction, but a fungal invasion. Lintern spends too many pages railing against the medical establishment, which feels more like ax-grinding than science. I mostly agreed with his conclusions here, but mostly for somewhat different reasons than the ones he provides. If you can push through this preamble, you'll find a treasure trove of scientific intrigue. Lintern's central claim is that fungal infections, not genetic mutations, are the primary cause of cancer. He dubs this the "Cell Suppression theory," painting a picture of fungi as cellular puppet masters, manipulating our cells for their own nefarious ends. This part sounds much more like classical science, backed by hundreds of quotes from peer-reviewed literature. Those quotes provide extensive evidence that Lintern's theory predicts dozens of cancer features better than do the established theories. Older Theories 1. The DNA Theory (aka Somatic Mutation Theory): The reigning heavyweight, this theory posits that cancer results from an accumulation of genetic mutations in critical genes that control cell growth, division, and death. 2. Another old theory that still has advocates is the Metabolic Theory. This theory suggests that cancer is primarily a metabolic disease, characterized by impaired cellular energy production (the Warburg effect). It proposes that damage to mitochondria is a key factor in cancer development. I wrote a mixed review of a book about it. Lintern points out evidence that mitochondria are turned off by signals, not damaged. He also notes that tumors with malfunctioning mitochondria are relatively benign. Evidence Discrediting the DNA Theory The standard version of the DNA Theory predicts that all cancer cells will have mutations that affect replication, apoptosis, etc. Around 2008 to 2013, substantial genetic data became available for cancer cells. Lintern wants us to believe that this evidence fully discredits the DNA Theory. The actual evidence seems more complex than Lintern indicates. The strongest evidence is that they found cancers that seem to have no mutations. Almost as important is that the mutations that are found seem more randomly distributed than would be expected if they caused consistent types of malfunctions. Lintern's theory seems to explain all of the Hallmarks of Cancer, as well as a few dozen other features that seem to occur in all cancers. He argues that the DNA Theory does a poor job of explaining the hallmarks. DNA Theorists likely reject that characterization. They appear to have thought their theory explained the hallmarks back before the genetic data became available (mostly just positing mutations for each hallmark?). My guess is that they are busy adding epicycles to their theory, but the situation is complex enough that I'm having trouble evaluating it. He also points out that the DNA Theory struggles with Peto's Paradox (why don't larger animals get more cancer?), while his theory neatly sidesteps this issue. Additionally, mouse embryos formed from cancer cells showed no signs of cancer. Evidence of Fungi A key game-changer is the growing evidence of fungi in tumors. Until 2017, tumors were thought to be microbe-free. Now? We're finding fungi in all types of cancer, with tumor-specific fungal profiles. There's even talk of using fungal DNA signatures to distinguish cancer patients from healthy individuals. It's not a slam dunk for Lintern's theory, but it shifts the odds significantly.

Dr. Nasha Winters discusses The Metabolic Theory of Cancer with Dr. Ben Weitz. [If you enjoy this podcast, please give us a rating and review on Apple Podcasts, so more people will find The Rational Wellness Podcast. Also check out the video version on my WeitzChiro YouTube page.]    Podcast Highlights 1:30  Cancer is more likely caused by mitochondrial damage, often related to the metabolic environment in our bodies and related to the modern diet and toxins, et cetera, rather than primarily caused by somatic DNA mutations.  Dr. Theodor Boveri, a German zoologist, comparative anatomist and co-founder of modern cytology, first proposed the somatic mutation or genetic theory of cancer in 1914.  We have taken this theory and run with it for the last 109 years without really proving it. At about the same time, Otto Warburg had proposed the metabolic/mitochondrial theory of cancer and it was outpacing the somatic theory until the 1950s when Watson and Crick found the DNA helix and everyone went back to the genetic theory of cancer. Nixon launched the war on cancer 52 years ago but given the increase in the number of people being diagnosed with and dying of cancer continues to grow, we are sadly not winning this war.  We mapped the human genome and we hoped that this would provide more answers, but it really just raised more questions than answers. And clearly the one gene, one target, one cause is not what we had hoped it would be.  Also, multiple studies using a nuclear cell transfer have been unable to create cancer in a cell by transferring the nuclei out of a cancer cell into a healthy cell.  This demonstrates that cancer is not caused primarily by somatic mutations. 6:08  We have been able to show that the mitochondria not only make energy but are the protectors of our DNA and our genetic expression. Unfortunately, most of the therapies we use to treat our genes, like chemotherapy, only further damage the mitochondria, which then make us even more vulnerable to recurrence, progression, and even having a cancer diagnosis to begin with.  What affects the mitochondria are everything we put in, on, and around us, from food, to thoughts, to water, to the people around you, to the environments you live in, to the light you're exposed to, to the chemicals you put on your skin and spray in your gardens.  Your mitochondria are signaling agents and they take in information and translate it into the body.  We can have a big impact on the environment in our bodies by how we lead our lives, which can either drive cancer growth or make it more difficult for cancer to thrive.  With the genetic theory, it's just bad luck and there's nothing that you can do about it. 12:11  Blood Sugar.  High glucose levels can increase free radicals and lead to DNA mutations. Sugar in the body creates glycosylated end products, which essentially means that you are oxidizing or rusting your innards.  Hemoglobin A1C is a blood test that measures this glycosylation.  We can also measure certain cytokines that direct the inflammation.  When glucose is high, it stimulates cortisol and estrogens and these things impact glucose as well.  High insulin levels also blunt your immune response.  We can literally treat disease by what is on the end of our fork. 15:15  New targeted therapies.  For decades conventional cancer care has consisted of chemo, radiation, and surgery. But now we have newer more targeted therapies, including immunotherapy, CAR T-cell therapy, etc.  Before commenting about the new therapies, Dr. Winters pointed out that there is a better way to utilize the standard of care like chemotherapy.  When you pair metronomics with chemotherapy at a dose less than 20% and pair this also with natural stressors, like fasting, hyperbaric oxygen, and other natural therapies, you get more effectiveness with fewer side effects. This is using chemo smarter.  When it comes to the newer therapies like immunotherapy,

Episode Highlights [03:17] Travis' Background Travis has an undergraduate degree in biochemistry. He eventually took over the family business and got married.  He then finished his master's degree, focusing on cancer metabolism for his independent study. The prevailing teaching during that time was that somatic mutations cause cancer. Travis was inspired by the book, Cancer as a Metabolic Disease, to do a thesis on metabolic theory.  Otto Warburg proposed the metabolic theory many years ago, but the medical community dismissed it as simplistic. New evidence reignited interest in the approach. [08:10] The State of Healthcare Public and health institutions have long accepted the somatic approach to cancer, with billions of dollars backing it.  The United States spends the most per capita on health care expenditure among developed countries yet has the lowest life expectancy.  The issue with the healthcare system lies in variations of treatment, over-treatment, and drug development process.  The healthcare industry is focused more on treating diseases rather than preventing them.   Although technology has advanced to assist people in tracking their health, people's health is deteriorating. Even if people live longer, they often experience illness and disability in their final years. [12:48] Changing the Healthcare Industry  The healthcare incentive structure must change. Doctors get paid for every drug and procedure they prescribe, leading to overtreatment.  There are emerging practices where doctors get a big bonus per patient who doesn't need procedures, encouraging them to keep patients in good health. When blood sugar levels rise, doctors usually diagnose diabetes. However, we can test for fasting insulin regularly to intervene. This test can also help people prevent other diseases and become more health-conscious. Change takes time with systems and industries, but we can take simple lifestyle interventions now. [16:01] Why People Are Getting Sicker Maintaining our health can be challenging. We've been conditioned that taking a magic pill is preferable to putting in the effort. Remember that metabolic dysregulation causes aging, not the other way around. In the last 10,000 years, humanity has drastically shifted to consuming processed foods, carbohydrates, and oils, resulting in noticeable consequences. People have also become sedentary.  A hunter-gatherer society has no obesity, insulin resistance, or chronic systemic inflammation. However, we frequently see this in the Western world. [20:32] The Root of Diseases  Understanding cellular health and inflammatory processes are critical in keeping yourself healthy.  Periods of food scarcity have happened throughout humanity's evolution. Our bodies enter ketosis due to the caloric deficit but most never reach this state. Studies have shown that ketosis can help prevent diseases ranging from Alzheimer's to Parkinson's to cancer and diabetes. Constantly eating keeps our immune system active and prevents it from resting, which has implications for chronic inflammatory diseases. [24:53] What Happens During Ketosis?  Ketosis happens in a fasted state, and a ketogenic diet is nutritional maintenance. When we fast, our bodies will mobilise the fat we have in our bodies and begin a process of beta-oxidation to burn off fat.  A caloric deficit makes this process faster, converting fats into ketone bodies, which then take the place of glucose.  Ketones have more thermodynamic energy and ATP per carbon unit compared to glucose.  Ketosis also boosts antioxidant levels. Since diseases are oxidative, ketosis can help to combat illnesses. Listen to the episode to learn more!  [32:01] Growing Healthcare Trends  Research has shown that fasting before chemotherapy can reduce some radiation side effects Sugar is fuel for cancer cells, but doctors continue giving and allowing patients to consume it.  There's more awareness of the latest research. The annual Metabolic Therapeutic Conference has grown to around 1600 attendees.    When we approach doctors, we will receive information their institution has taught and allowed them to give us. Even with COVID-19, people have yet to explore treatments like monoclonal antibodies, hyperbaric, and Vitamin C.  [44:00] The Abscopal Effect on Cancer The abscopal effect is when you target a single tumour site, but it affects other tumour sites in the body.  Travis shares a case where someone with breast cancer on a checkpoint inhibitor received a much lower radiation dose.  In that case, radiation was sufficient to systematically stimulate the immune system to attack cancer, improving the patient's chances of survival. [47:41] Advancements in Immunotherapy Using peptides to manipulate the immune system is still a trial and error process. The immune system's job is to survey for cancer, get rid of it early, and create a checkpoint to avoid attacking itself.  [49:44] Emerging Cancer Treatment Research In detection, metastasis is an early stage event rather than a late-stage one. Cancer cells break off, dying when it reaches the bloodstream.  This selection pressure creates different genetic mutations in tumours.  The somatic mutation theory argues that a series of sequential mutations cause cancer, with each tumour site having a unique set of driving mutations. The epigenetic metabolic theory posits that these mutations are a side effect of the disease.  All cancers burn sugar and evade the immune system, but mutations vary too much. Treatments should focus on epigenetic expression rather than mutations. [55:16] Researching Treatment Options The medical field is filled with uncertainty. Cancer treatment options have not been compared.  After an in-depth look at clinical trials, we find that what seems to be the best treatment paradigm isn't always the right option. When conducting research, consider the data and evaluate it using a risk-reward framework. You can choose from low-risk alternatives. [59:59] The Soil Approach to Cancer  Cancer grows in the presence of a favourable microenvironment and molecular events. It takes a long time for a chronic irritant to develop cancer cells. Cancer cells take on characteristics of our earliest genes,  including replication and the appearance of early embryos. You can help your cells "behave" by providing oxygen and avoiding chronic irritants. Nurture the microenvironment through exercising and eating the right foods.  Instead of focusing on the seed or cancer, we should concentrate on the soil or microenvironment. [1:04:05] Health and Longevity While we don't know humankind's natural and optimal states, ketosis and fasting provide a glimpse. Cells stop metabolising as we age, causing inflammation. We may be able to extend life spans if we can reduce senescent cells. Travis shares a study in which mice received fisetin, found in strawberries, reducing senescent cells and prolonging their life.  There's a lot of new research on substances that kill senescent cells, like senolytics, quercetin, and other compounds. [1:08:49] About StageZero Life Sciences  StageZero Life Sciences looks into markers of inflammation, insulin resistance, etc. They also recommend potential lifestyle interventions to change those markers.  They are currently available in Richmond, Virginia, Toronto, and Ontario, Canada. 7 Powerful Quotes 'It's just a combination of probably a terrible diet and just not moving enough because we were designed to go out and have to work every day to catch food. That's what we evolved, and when you uncouple your physiology from that environmental niche, you see all kinds of problems' ‘It appears that evolution has built in a powerful signal to that when you're in a caloric deficiency, you switch your metabolism…to something called ketosis where you completely shift what you're burning to these little small molecules that come from fat,' ‘We're terrible at focusing on prevention. We focus on the disease, trying to treat it once it's already manifest, which is an absolutely horrible strategy.' ‘If we look at cancer then as the prime drivers being metabolic and epigenetic, that means that all of those things potentially could be modifiable, right? We don't have to target mutations. We can look for ways to change the way cells are expressing genes and so forth, and metabolising substrates and things like that.' ‘Just mind the microenvironment of your body, which is giving you the right food, exercising. It's designed to do that. Every time you do that, it brings down those inflammatory processes, and so forth.' ‘We tend to think we're in this modern era, but with regard to cancer, we will look back 200 years from now, realise that we were just in the Dark Ages. We're still using radiation which was invented about 110 years ago; chemotherapy was invented around World War II. That's still the mainstay of cancer treatments.' ‘When you really look deep, the two problems really are variation in treatment, over-treatment. The drug development process, I think, is one of the main problems too,' Resources Gain exclusive access and bonuses to Pushing the Limits Podcast by becoming a patron!  Want to learn more from Travis?

Episode Highlights [03:45] Dr Charles' and Care Oncology's Background  Charles has worked in oncology for 30 years. He started working at a big hospital in Charlotte, but pivoted after becoming legally blind.  He eventually discovered Care Oncology, a company that applies metabolic strategies for cancer treatment.  Care Oncology was started by Robin Bannister, a pharmacist and drug developer. His wife had developed stage-four breast cancer and had exhausted all treatment options.  Robin selected four drugs commonly used for non-cancer disorders but were found to affect cancer.  Robin selected four drugs based on human data, safety, non-overlapping effects, and their benefits for other chronic conditions.  [08:46] Care Oncology's Approach Care Oncology uses metformin, atorvastatin, doxycycline, and mebendazole. The company kept to the dosage of the four drugs within a specific range.  Additional drugs, like Prozac and oxaloacetate, also proved helpful along with the metabolic approach.  Over the years, cancer research has focused more on the somatic mutation theory than the metabolic theory.  The metabolic approach to cancer is slowly becoming more widespread.  Even Dr Weinberg, who championed the hallmarks of cancer, added three more hallmarks that are purely metabolic.    [16:52] Diet and Future of the Metabolic Approach From a somatic perspective, diet is not very important to curing cancer; however, food does affect cancer.  The standard American diet of proteins and fruits and grains can cause issues for cancer patients. Care Oncology has recently merged with Stage Zero Life Sciences for early detection. They perform blood biopsies and are looking into the RNA expression of white blood cells.  Early detection technology is slowly becoming more available.  As the company expands, they intend to add various types of cancers to their treatment list. . Learn about Care Oncology's testing process by listening to the full episode.  [30:38] What Care Oncology Prioritises Charles shares that Care Oncology prioritises the markers with the most impact, as nuanced tests are more expensive.  The death rate from cancer may decrease, but the cancer rate is increasing. He shares how one in three women who get breast cancer become bankrupt after treatments. Care Oncology wants to reverse this experience by providing cheaper early detection methods through blood biopsies. Their process includes follow-ups and discussions.  Their State Zero tests are currently available only in the US, but the company hopes to expand over time.   [36:28] Why Early Detection is Important  Tests can predict patterns before cancer physically manifests.  It's important to get regular physicals, lifestyle checks, and screenings every 18 months to 2 years.  The earlier you detect cancer, the higher the survival rate. . Early detection can also mean less expensive. According to Charles, colon cancer detected in stage one has a 90% chance of being cured. However, the later the cancer is detected, the lower the chance of being cured. It costs more to fix something than to prevent something.  [43:11] There's No One Treatment for Everyone Charles shares that his best outcomes were when he customised treatments based on patients' needs. Unfortunately, cancer treatment is often too focused on following guidelines.  It's important for patients to have hope that they can get better.  Unfortunately, physicians have little time to fully engage with patients. There is no “right way” to treat cancer. What works for one patient may not work for others. Talk to your doctors about what you're putting in your body. This also applies to the vaccine and diet.  [56:12] Balance is Key  It's important to be aware of your sugar intake. A patient's BMI can have an impact on the success of treatments.  Charles recommends intermittent fasting with a diet of animal protein, healthy fats, and low fructose fruits. Couple this diet with micro-exercises before and after meals.  Our muscles are the biggest organ in our body, and they can act as metabolic neutralizers.  Make sure your meals are balanced. Remember to consider your sleep and mood.   [1:01:48] Find Opportunities  Everything can be seen as an opportunity to learn more about yourself and to grow.  See things as a challenge instead of a threat. Not everyone has a growth mindset, but people will ‌develop this by identifying their purpose.  [1:06:32] Dr Mekin's Recommendations: BEGSIS First, nostril breathing.  Second, eat only real foods made up of fats, proteins, and low carbohydrates. Keep yourself hydrated.  Get moving to maintain and enhance your functionality.  Sleep. Make sure you recover and have your rhythms in order.  Have intent and always have a mission bigger than yourself.  Be social and involve yourself with others. Social isolation is a predictor of demise.   [1:10:37] Focus on Fundamentals  With everything happening in the world, it's easy to focus on the negative.  Remember to be in the moment and look for the beauty in life.  Get back to the core fundamentals.  [1:13:33] Keep Testing Yourself  Not everyone can do everything at the same time. Therefore, doctors need to help people prioritise what will work for them.  Charles shares that he's very proud of Care Oncology's work in cancer treatment.  Despite being 63, he likes to climb mountains annually to challenge himself.  Charles details how he puts himself in uncomfortable situations in the full episode. [1:19:21] Future of Medicine Charles shares that the next ten years may change many things in medicine.  Look into the research. Clinical practice is often behind the latest developments.  Stay persistent and take care of yourself. Twenty years ago, people would die one year after losing their vitality and independence. Now, they tend to live up to 12 years. They may be alive, but they're often unhappy.  7 Powerful Quotes.' 'A healthy person has multiple wishes and ideas while a sick person only has one wish — that's to get better again. Early spending of the dedication of time and money pays off.' 'A lower dose metabolic protocol with prescription drugs and supplements, and lifestyle coaching prevent the development of disease or cancer.' 'If you find cancer in stage one, you have a greater than 90% cure, which is surgery at most. Then if you find it in stage four, the cure rate drops down to the mid-teens, then you're never off treatment, and you will spend a fortune.' '...to eat anything. That is the worst advice that you can give a cancer patient.'   "We're evolutionarily designed to eat primarily fats and proteins with some seasonal carbohydrates. So that's what 99% of our biology was based on.' 'Sometimes, an ounce of prevention could save you financially and, actually, health.' 'A lot of times, there's a silver lining to some of these obstacles put in our way.'

Arthritis is a severe disease that's uncomfortable at best and debilitating at worst. It is a leading cause of disability worldwide. Most people think that arthritis only happens to the elderly, but it can affect anyone. It is a disease that begins in your 20s or results from injuries sustained as a child. Unfortunately, most of what the general public is misinformed about arthritis: what it is, how it starts, and how to treat it! In this episode, Dr Elizabeth Yurth addresses common misconceptions about arthritis. She defines the disease and offers realistic alternatives to established treatment options. If you want to learn more about longevity-based proactive measures to address arthritis, this episode is for you! Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode: Recognise arthritis as an inflammatory process rather than a wear-and-tear disease. Understand the importance of addressing arthritis early on — as early as your 20s! Learn how longevity studies-based supplements and treatments improve the immune system and combat arthritis.

Episode Highlights [03:30] Breaking the Misconceptions about Arthritis Arthritis is more than a wear-and-tear condition; it's an inflammatory disease process.  It is not limited to the elderly. The disease process can begin with minor injuries, even those sustained as a child. Arthritis is a combination of genetics and environmental factors triggered by trauma.  [08:25] Arthritis as an Inflammatory Disease Process   Arthritis is a disease process like neurodegenerative and cardiac illnesses.  Our bodies follow a balanced way to deal with injuries. It releases the level of cytokines that set off the body's response to healing and recovery. Afterwards, cytokine levels fall, and anti-inflammatory proteins take over. The disease process begins during Imbalance in any part of the process. It can be started as too many cytokines lead to zombie cells and lack of autophagy. [12:20] General Approaches to Addressing Arthritis  Turn off inflammatory cytokines through simple supplements like curcumin or epigallocatechin.  Turning down the inflammatory response allows the injury to heal better.  Inducing autophagy or knocking off the bad cells helps reduce injury as well.  [13:36]  Arthritis is a Preventable Disease  Arthritis is a disease that should be given more attention, as it has a significant impact on people's quality of life. It is the primary cause of disability among people of working age.  Arthritis is preventable to a large degree, despite genetics and other factors.  [18:32] Current Orthopedic Treatments for Arthritis  The focus in addressing arthritis is to treat the disease process. Steroid injections temporarily reduce inflammatory cytokines, but they also inhibit those that aid in healing. Arthroscopic surgery can provide immediate comfort. However, it can also inflict tears that can cause the rapid progression of arthritis. Back fusion can help cases of spinal instability. However, for degenerative discs, the long-term success rate of surgery is around 10% of those who undergo it. [24:09]  Degenerative Disc Disease as an Inflammatory Disease  Degenerative disc disease is an inflammatory disease caused by high levels of cytokines. This includes the nuclear factor kappa beta. The goal is to focus on the issues that cause disc destruction, such as elevated cytokine levels, rather than the disc itself. Ageing processes, like degeneration, should serve as a wake-up call to reconsider one's diet. This also includes reconsidering supplements, and exercise, as well as one's cardiovascular health. [27:18]  Changing the Perspective about Arthritis People should be aware that arthritis begins in their 20s, similar to brain disorders, heart ailments, and cancers.    All these immune and inflammatory diseases come down to curing ageing.  We need to take proactive steps and opt for longevity instead of a mechanical standard of care.  Opting for the ‘expensive' care earlier will save you time, stress, and money. People often exhaust traditional options first before pursuing longevity treatments.  [38:49] Pentosan Polysulfate: ‘A Cure for Arthritis' Pentosan polysulfate is a repurposed drug that reduces cytokines causing degenerative disc pain.  According to studies, even after just six weeks of using Pentosan Polysulfate, you can continue to reap the advantages for up to a year. [45:07] Vitamins and Supplements to Combat Arthritis  Another strategy to fight arthritis is to make sure your nutrients are optimised. Vitamins D and C, and zinc are critical but straightforward micronutrients. Epigallocatechin gallate, or EGCG, has many benefits that aid in addressing arthritis. Its benefits include muscle-building, fat loss, and myostatin blocking. [47:07] Benefits of Gaining Muscle Muscle, as an organ, produces endocrine glands, and myokines have very beneficial effects on joints.   Those with sarcopenia or muscle loss are more likely to develop joint arthritis. Electrical stimulation of muscles can be done for individuals who are further along in a disease process. Static contraction or contracting the muscles for three seconds every hour also helps muscle-building.  [51:03]  Inducing Autophagy Process Using Spermidine  Spermidine is a polyamine compound that comes from bacteria in certain foods.  Polyamine is produced by the human body as well. However, as we become older, we make less of it. It is an autophagy-Inducing agent that aids in getting rid of damaged cells.  Spermidine works better than steroids at reducing inflammation. It preserves the joints without making them worse. [54:06] Trehalose: The ‘Sugar Substitute' Trehalose is glucose that impacts oxidative stress and helps clean up the cells.  It has zero glycemic impact, which helps blood glucose under control.  Trehalose is looked at for neurodegenerative diseases but can benefit joint pain.  [56:57] Peptide Therapies as Simple, Inexpensive Aid  If you are looking for simple, inexpensive aid, collagen peptides can also be beneficial.  They typically are part of a mixture including Vitamin C, which helps cartilage cells.  A more expensive option is aggressive peptides, like BPC 157 or Body Protection Compound 157. These peptides can aid joint regeneration. It's vital to understand the role of inflammation in arthritis rather than jumping at treatments, like stem cell therapy. [59:54] The Role of Stressed Immune System  Almost every disease is related to over-aggressive, pro-inflammatory cytokines, disruption in mitochondrial function, and autophagy.  Ageing causes a significant number of diseases.  The immune system goes awry for many reasons, including viral exposures. [59:54] Antiviral Drugs, Hormones, and Fasting Antiviral drugs, hormones, and fasting can help the immune system fight diseases as healthy as possible.  EGCG and curcumin are natural compounds that have some antiviral properties. Acyclovir is also a safe choice for combatting the herpes virus and Epstein-Barr, among others.   Our immune system produces fewer hormones as we become older. Our bodies need hormones to function, so we need to replace them somehow. Hormones have huge immune-modulating properties that help stop oxidative stress.  The immune system benefits from the recovery period following a fast. It can be very beneficial to clear out dead cells. [1:08:55] Rapamycin and Metformin: The ‘Future' of Arthritis Rapamycin is a chemotherapeutic medication with a solid immune-modulating effect.  It is well-known for activating autophagy, which can lengthen lifespan in all mammalian species scientists have studied. Metformin is an inexpensive medication that keeps glucose control.  It has some interesting studies on arthritis. One study shows the overlapping benefits in cardiovascular, renal, cancer, and obesity protection.  7 Powerful Quotes “[Arthritis as an inflammatory disease process] is the same thing that goes on with COVID. Right? Yes. Why do some people die of COVID? [It's] usually not the virus itself -- it's the immune reaction to the virus.”   “So we know we have to treat [cytokines] and not the disc itself. That's the end game. Treat the problem that's causing the disc damage.”   “...[W]e're really trying to get into the heads of these [20-year-olds] and say, the [disease process starts when you're] 20. Yeah, like your brain diseases, your heart diseases, and your cancers are all those processes are starting in our 20s.”   “The plastic surgeons are doing fine. [P]eople are more than willing to spend that money on their facelifts and things like that [than] internally to feel better.”   “You can have no cartilage and no pain or no discs, and no gain. The pain is an inflammatory sign.” “Go back, go back up the tree. And then you had all of the diseases in mitochondria and information.” "Be it cancer, metabolic disease, cardiovascular disease, or neurologic arthritis, they're all the same disease. You've got to get the immune system as healthy as possible. You have to stop oxidative stress."

In this episode we have the pleasure of talking with science writer Travis Christofferson. We begin by discussing the emerging paradigm of Cancer as a Metabolic disease, and how this new approach can overturn, or build on top of, the discoveries we have achieved while approaching cancer as a genetic disease. We also talk about the importance of “outsiders” coming into specific fields and the need for empathic and trust-building narratives to support cross-disciplinary collaboration. We talk about the emerging possibilities of blending human agency and intuition with the power of statistics and machines, the importance of “mindset” to utilize stress instead of being used by it, and a few other things on the science of longevity. Travis Christofferson has a degree in molecular biology and a master's degree in material engineering and science. He is a full-time science writer and published the best selling book Tripping Over the Truth which shows how the Metabolic Theory of Cancer is overturning one of Medicine's most entrenched paradigms. He is the founder of The Foundation for Metabolic Cancer Therapies, and the co-founder of Care Oncology.

Episode Highlights [03:40] Dr Dom's Background Dr Dom majored in nutrition science and biology, then studied neuroscience for his PhD. Specifically, he studied the neural control of our physiology through electrophysiology. This includes respiratory and cardiovascular controls. His research interests then led him to study diving physiology and hyperbaric technologies. For over 15 years, Dr Dom has been developing hyperbaric technologies and nutritional and supplemental therapies to protect people from high hyperbaric conditions.  [06:14] How to Make Cells More Resilient Dr Dom shares that electrophysiology in hyperbaric chambers can directly measure neurons in response to the graded levels of oxygen in the chamber.  Oxygen can provide a therapeutic effect, but too much of it can lead to a seizure (oxygen toxicity). His research on measuring the cellular response on the level of mitochondria and plasma membrane led him to study how to control the metabolic states of the cell to make them more resilient to extreme environments.  Dr Dom worked with the NAVY Seal divers and focused on treatments such as lactate, glucose and ketones to enhance cell metabolic states and reduce seizures.  Ketones can not only make cells more resilient but also help maintain resting membrane potential and have less oxidative stress. [12:07] How the Ketogenic Diet has Evolved  The ketogenic diet is celebrating its 100th year anniversary in clinical use. It started as a standard of care for drug-resistant epilepsy in children. Anti-epileptic drugs have been found to delay learning development in kids, while the diet can enhance development. The ketogenic diet has also evolved over the years. The modified Atkins diet, or MADD, utilises a 20–25% protein diet.  The quantity and type of fat are important when considering a ketogenic diet. Listen to the full episode to learn more!  Over the years, research on the ketogenic diet and its applications have surged. Now, Dom is working with the Navy to not only use ketones to block seizures, but to also enhance performance. [18:56] What is the Ketogenic Diet for?   There are two primary uses for the ketogenic diet: life-saving and prevention.  If your intent is to manage seizure disorders, neurological disorders, cancers,and other disorders, you need to implement a ketogenic diet continuously.  Using the ketogenic diet for prevention can be for controlling glucose and insulin levels. It's better to prevent disorders and diseases by getting ahead of the problem.  For example, those who are pre-diabetic should start monitoring their glucose levels and learn how to eat better to avoid becoming diabetic. [23:13] Prioritise Prevention Diabetes can be the gateway to a host of other diseases. Prevention is key. The ketogenic diet can be very effective in controlling your glucose and insulin levels. When tracking your glucose levels, don't focus on single time points. Instead, observe how the levels change over time. Understand the dynamic of glucose in your body. You can correlate them with changes in inflammatory markers. You can check whether you're in ketosis through biomarkers that can be measured through breath, blood or urine ketones. [27:26] How to Adopt the Ketogenic Diet to Your Lifestyle The ketogenic diet is four parts fat and one part combination of protein and carbohydrates.  This means around 90% fat, 8 to 10% protein, and around 10 grams of fibrous carbohydrates. This is the recommended diet used for pediatric epilepsy.  You can also modify the diet if you find it too strict and difficult to follow. Ketones have been found to be anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and have epigenetic effects. [29:23] Managing Cancer Through the Ketogenic Diet  It's not enough to cut down on sugar. Cancer cells are metabolically flexible and can use other sources like glutamine, fatty acids, and more.  Studies show that if you take away glucose from cancer cells and give them ketones, they will eventually die.  Cancer patients will experience the Warburg effect, where cells revert to a primitive form of energy metabolism by directing biomolecules to anabolic processes.  However, this also allows cancer cells to grow, divide and expand.  Treating cancer can be done by blocking DNA replication like chemotherapy or by energy restriction. While you cannot fast forever, you can achieve the fasting state through a ketogenic diet. [38:33] Utilise Autophagy to Kill Cancer Cells  Cancer cells naturally have higher energy demand than healthy cells. When you restrict energy, you can stimulate autophagy, slowing down tumour growth and eventually killing it.  There may be forms of cancer that can capitalise on autophagy, but this is not common.   [43:55] How to Use Vitamin C to Combat Cancer Glucose monitors tend to also detect Vitamin C as blood sugar since they are very similar.  However, ascorbic acid can be antagonistic to glucose by using the same transporter. When you have high physiological levels of Vitamin C, you can impair glucose metabolism in cancer cells.   Vitamin C can also help create the Fenton Effect, where it further increases oxidative stress in tumours.  [49:42] How Much Oxygen Is Enough for Cancer Cells?  Cancer cells can die when exposed to a rise in oxygen.  Dr Dom shares that his study used a 2.5 atmosphere of oxygen given for 60 minutes three days a week. This was done using a soft-shell chamber.  Lower levels of oxygen can still be beneficial for cell production.  Dr Dom recommends taking Vitamin C on the same day as getting hyperbaric oxygen therapy.  [55:29] What to Remember When You Have Cancer Nutrition should be the core of general health and cancer therapy.  Restrict sugar, optimize glycemic control and suppress insulin. Do intermittent fasting if you can.  If you're overweight, be more aggressive with fasting and the ketogenic diet. If you're underweight, make sure you have enough protein and nutrients. Dr Dom recommends foods like eggs, sardines, raw vegetables like salads, olive oil, nuts and non-glycemic fibrous carbohydrates.  He also recommends taking exogenous ketones to further boost ketosis.  [1:02:53] Types of Exogenous Ketones   MCT is useful for fat and ketone. You can also use ketone salts which are bound to electrolytes like sodium, calcium, potassium and magnesium.  Racemic compounds optimise signalling and delivery pathways.  You don't want spikes in your glucose and ketones.  Listen to the full episode to learn more! [1:09:08] Dr Dom's Recommendations Dr Dom has always been interested in fitness.

What's the ultimate cause of cancer? It's not an easy question to answer, and according to Travis Christofferson, author of Tripping Over the Truth: The Return of the Metabolic Theory of Cancer, there's no single cause, but a series of complex interactions and events that depend at least somewhat on our environment. Christofferson explains this in terms of epigenetic responses, which result in the turning off or on of certain genes--allowing some to be expressed and blocking others from being expressed. Diet, toxins, medications, and even loneliness are just a few of the factors that could trigger epigenetic responses and ultimately contribute to the determination of whether or not someone will develop cancer. Christofferson offers an insightful conversation that touches on a range of topics, including the benefits of using metabolic therapy in conjunction with chemotherapy and radiation, the therapeutical differential between cancer cells and healthy cells that's produced by the ketogenic diet, the use of aerobic glycolysis by cancer cells as opposed to oxidative pathways (the Warburg effect) and how this can be taken advantage of in the treatment of cancer, how and why the repurposing of drugs--in particular Metformin--holds promise as a form of cancer treatment, and why brain cancers seem to be most responsive to metabolic therapies.  Click play to hear the full conversation, and check out his book to learn more.

Travis Chistofferson is on the show to make sure we understand exactly what the metabolic theory of cancer is and why it is so vitally important in preventing and reversing cancer.  Travis’ book Tripping over the Truth was basically written for the exact purpose of taking Professor Thomas Seyfreid’s (episode 006) book Cancer as a Metabolic Disease which is more of a textbook converting it into something easier for the public to digest and give more of the backstory which is why it’s the very first book I recommend to anyone that really wants to understand cancer and how we got to where we are today.   In This Episode:   The metabolic theory of cancer itself and why it’s so important for anyone going through cancer to understand. How cancer cells can actually turn back into healthy cells when if their metabolism is able to be corrected or if not how they can be weakened and killed off altogether with this approach.  The best dietary strategies and best known therapeutic interventions such as the ketogenic diet and oxidative therapies. Travis’s thoughts on the success of approaches such as the Gerson Therapy which are high in sugars and antioxidants. The history of modern cancer treatment going back to Otto Warburg who first put this viewpoint out there back in the mid 1900’s and how it is that we’ve managed to get so wrapped up genes and really miss the forest for the trees. Epigenetics and how we should look at them in light of the metabolic theory of cancer.   For more cancer healing and preventing: www.mykidcurescancer.com www.youtube.com/mykidcurescancer www.facebook.com/mykidcurescancer   To support our work: www.mykidcurescancer.com/crowdsponsor    Travis Christofferson is a graduate of the Montana State Honors Program in molecular biology.

Cancer is like a computer program gone wrong, the kernel panic of the human body. Unfortunately, we have no reboot button, and so cancer is the most serious of diseases. This year, almost six hundred thousand Americans will die from cancer. Despite the fact that cancer receives more NIH funding than any other illness, the death rates remain the same as in the 1950s. Tripping Over the Truth: The Return of the Metabolic Theory of Cancer tells the story of molecular biologist and science writer Travis Christofferson’s journey to discover why cancer has remained so elusive. The central theme of the book is that we’ve fundamentally mischaracterized the origin of cancer. Most scientists hold to the belief that cancer is a genetic disease, Travis explores the idea that cancer is, in fact, a disease of damaged metabolism. The metabolic theory of cancer stems from Nobel laureate Otto Warburg’s observation in 1924 that cancer cells lack the ability to produce energy using anything other than an ancient and inefficient process of fermentation. Warburg’s idea failed to gain critical mass, and by the 1960s had largely faded into oblivion. In 2012, Thomas Siegfried, Ph.D., released his book Cancer as a Metabolic Disease where he expanded on Warburg’s original hypothesis. In his book, Siegfried described how all cancer cells have damaged mitochondria, the organelle responsible for creating energy with oxygen. Inspired by The Emperor of All Maladies by Siddhartha Mukherjee, Travis has done a excellent job of telling the rich story behind the metabolic theory of cancer. In this interview, Travis and I discuss some of the potential benefits and mechanisms of a ketogenic diet, hyperbaric oxygen, gluconeogenesis inhibitors and ketone supplements as possible cancer therapy. I would like to thank Dr. Tommy Wood for some of the questions asked in this interview, especially those about glioblastoma and women with the BRCA1 mutation and breast cancer. Here’s the outline of this interview with Travis Christofferson: 0:00:15    Book: Tripping Over the Truth: The Return of the Metabolic Theory of Cancer Illuminates a New and Hopeful Path to a Cure 0:00:34    How Travis became in terested in biology. 0:00:54    Travis has a fundamental curiosity. 0:01:10    The best doctors are the ones that do experiments on themselves. 0:01:22    Book: Cancer as a Metabolic Disease: On the Origin, Management, and Prevention of Cancer by Tom Siegfried. 0:01:38    Book: The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer by Siddhartha Mukherjee. 0:02:16    Travis wanted to tell the rich story behind the science in Tom's book. 0:03:01    Podcast: Dominic D'Agostino on the Tim Ferriss show. 0:03:30    The Emperor is gene centric. 0:03:46    The difference between the genetic and metabolic theories of cancer. 0:04:08    Radiation, cell repair. 0:04:09    In the genetic theory, cancer arises through lesions on DNA. 0:04:43    The genetic theory is still the dominant theory. 0:04:55    In the metabolic theory, cancer is proliferated by damage to the mitochondria. 0:05:07    Cancer resorts to less efficient fermentation. 0:05:25    This less efficient metabolism sends a message to the DNA. 0:05:42    This new theory makes cancer look like a disease of order. 0:06:02    Everything that causes cancer damages mitochondria. 0:06:39    Paul Davies, cosmologist. 0:07:07    Worked with Stephen Hawking. 0:07:33    Video: Anna Barker at TEDMED 2010. 0:07:53    Cancer is incredibly complex compared to other diseases. 0:08:19    In 2008 atavistic model 0:08:48    Three million studies on cancer on PubMed. 0:09:20    In the beginning, there was single celled organisms. 0:09:26    With multicellular life, the rules changed. 0:09:43    The foetal genes are reexpressed in cancer. 0:10:03    This new understanding gives hope. 0:10:17    What can we do with this new knowledge. 0:10:28    Look after our mitochondria. 0:10:38    A ketogenic diet is a great way to achieve this. 0:10:48    Also intermittent fasting. 0:10:57    Metformin as an oncology drug. 0:11:20    Exploiting the express of early genes. 0:11:44    The Warburg Effect. 0:11:53    Hyperbaric oxygen. 0:12:01    Cancer cells decouple of the adaptive immune system. 0:12:07    Cancer patients with high fever then spontaneous remission. 0:12:25    Cancer cannot withstand infection. 0:12:56    How does the ketogenic diet work against cancer? 0:13:04    Lowering blood glucose. 0:13:11    Glucose is the preferred fuel of cancer. 0:13:25    Some cancers can utilise ketones. 0:13:45    But there's promise in all cancers. 0:14:05    There's some kind of signalling mechanism. 0:14:27    Less side-effects with chemo after fasting. 0:15:05    Dr. Tommy Wood pointed me at some studies showing that certain breast cancers can use ketones as fuel. One study of women with the BRCA1 mutation showed that those with upregulated ketone metabolism did worse, which suggests that a cancer can develop metabolic flexibility too, and would be able to avoid death on a ketogenic diet. 0:15:27    Everybody is different and your results therefore will vary. 0:15:51    The brain can obtain up to 80% of its energy requirenents from ketones. 0:16:09    Some neurons are too small to include a mitochondria. 0:16:21    There is a trial going on in Arizona with glioblastoma. 0:16:25    Dr. Adrienne C. Scheck. 0:16:29    Results by April. 0:16:41    Kid in Norway, prognosis is 8 months, that was 3 years ago. 0:17:12    Tumor has shrunk and remained stable now for 3 years. 0:17:31    Metabolic therapies are good at managing cancer, but may not be the cure. 0:17:55    The studies are all done from the same line of glioblastoma. 0:18:17    Glioblastoma is where the research started, but the principle is sound 0:18:41    Will glioblastoma be the first cancer that we see a cure for? 0:18:48    Glioblastoma is usually about a year from the time of diagnosis to death. 0:19:17    How do cancers show up in a PET scanner? 0:19:24    PET scanners detect radiolabeled glucose. 0:19:43    The tumour outcompetes normal cells for glucose and show they show up in the scanner. 0:20:25    If the tumours have been lighting up in scanners for a long time, why has it taken so long for anyone to think of this? 0:20:41    Dr. Scheck’s study is using a standard ketogenic diet. 0:20:43    In some people that doesn't drive down glucose very far. 0:21:06    You can drive blood glucose very low. 0:21:21    In extended fasts, blood glucose would go down in the 60s (mg/dL). 0:21:24    Now we have exogenous ketone supplementation. 0:21:27    And gluconeogenesis inhibitors. 0:22:50    What were gluconeogenesis inhibitors originally designed for? 0:23:05    We're only just starting to appreciate Metformin. 0:23:06    25-30% reduction in the chances of getting cancer on Metformin. 0:23:07    Nobody really knows how is works. 0:23:31    Phenylbutyrate. 0:23:55    Metformin also inhibits complex 1 of the ETC. 0:24:07    ROS are bad, but also signalling molecules. 0:24:23    Another line of research has shown that Metformin works through altering the gut microbiome. 0:24:44    Podcast: Exercise is an antioxidant. 0:25:02    Podcast: Tommy and me on the Robb Wolf podcast. 0:25:11    Podcast: Insulin resistance. 0:25:15    Podcast: Iron overload. 0:25:46    In biology, you focus on one thing. One protein, one pathway. 0:25:55    Dr. Coe? in Travis's book. 0:25:56    ATPase. 0:26:15    You need someone to do the detailed work, but then you need someone to step back. 0:26:30    Physics already has a mechanism in place to do that. 0:27:05    In physics, you can come up with an idea and there's more than enough data to test it out. 0:27:31    Worse, in nutrition the data conflicts each other. 0:27:33    The NCI said that 80% of the basic research in cancer biology were not reproducible. 0:27:56    Sorting through the studies is an art form. 0:28:08    Warren Buffett. 0:28:22    What do you think of the meta-analysis? 0:28:53    This is the Gold Standard of science! 0:29:11    Book: Good Calories, Bad Calories: Fats, Carbs, and the Controversial Science of Diet and Health by Gary Taubes 0:30:36    Ketone supplements are not currently be used in cancer therapy. 0:31:09    Dominic D'Agostino specialises in ketone supplementation. 0:31:34    Ketones are far more than a macronutrient. 0:31:49    Ketones are anti-inflammatory. 0:32:08    Seasonal ketosis. 0:32:22    Dr. Veech at the NIH: "it's not normal to have a McDonald’s on every street corner". 0:32:30    It's normal to starve periodically. 0:32:53    Alzheimer's is now being called type 3 diabetes. 0:33:41    Is it a good idea to be constantly in ketosis? 0:33:58    Dr. Peter Attia. 0:34:32    Two studies, one at the National Institute of Aging, one at the University of Wisconson 0:34:37    Caloric restriction in monkeys. 0:34:49    Caloric restriction doesn't help as much as we thought. 0:35:02    The monkeys fed a high-sugar diet did worse. 0:35:27    When is all this going to be more widely know, or even the standard of care? 0:35:40    Things move slowly, it's easy to get depressed. 0:35:57    The trial in Arizona could be groundbreaking. 0:36:34    3-Bromopyruvate (3BP) could be the final piece for the metabolic therapy. 0:37:05    Heroin as the treatment for cocaine addiction. 0:37:47    Radical mastectomy. 0:38:25    This went on for 80 years. 0:38:37    In the end, we discovered that a local lumpectomy was as effective. 0:38:58    The trials are so slow and expensive. 0:39:16    You have to eat something, why not this?. 0:39:42    Travis talked at Paleo f(x). 0:39:57    Anecdotally, word is getting out there. 0:40:24    The ketogenic diet to treat recurrence. 0:40:37    The ketogenic diet is empowering. 0:41:11    Travis wrote an article about recurrence on his website. 0:41:20    It's not about always about a single cell that got left behind. 0:41:36    20% of cases are new, i.e. the environment for cancer is still there. 0:42:09    The same is true of bacteria, if you create the environment, it will grow. 0:42:25    Nobody wants to take high-fat diets seriously for weight loss until we're talking about cancer. 0:42:48    Cachexia is the the worst case scenario. 0:43:40    Valter Longo, PhD. 0:44:21    The state of ketosis doesn't say anything about weight loss, and may even be protective against muscle wasting. 0:44:42    Travis and Dominic's articles on Robb Wolf's website. 0:45:41    The Charlie Foundation. 0:46:04    Travis's new blog with podcast, Metabolic Optimization. 0:46:43    Dominic holds the Guinness World record for the most weight squatted in 24 hours (he broke the record in six). 0:47:15    Travis is a fulltime author.
