I agree about. cancer prevention, but... How would one explain pediatric cancers, then? Kids hardly born and already diagnosed? And not necessarily born from parents with poor healthy habits. There has to be something else!

It could be that their immune system is barley developed and fails to recognize the cancer cells. According to Professor of biology Dr Thomas Seyfried PhD cancer starts off with damage to a cells power plant (mitochondria) which leads to activation of oncogenes and damage to a cells DNA Free ACAM Lectures | DigiVision [vimeo]54866497[/vimeo]

Your post is more appropriate in the Alternative Medicine subforum, where Dr. Seyfried, who is not a medical doctor, has been discussed on numerous threads. Here's one: https://www.city-data.com/forum/alter...re-cancer.html

No, he's not a medical doctor, only a Professor of biology at Boston college Thomas Seyfried - Biology Department - Boston College . Also i added both his video's for his views on cancer as a metabolic disease and not a genetic one. Here is some more info http://www.singlecausesinglecure.org...ory-of-cancer/ http://robbwolf.com/2013/09/19/origin-cancer/

Since your conclusions are not complicated, I suspect similar findings have already been studied by some of the many researching medical professionals. It is highly unlikely one solution will ever be the cure for all cancer since the causes are so numerous.

There are a number of hallmarks Molecular Causes of Cancer and Biological Mechanisms - BioOncology The Hallmarks of Cancer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia prevention as they say is better than cure. Also i would like to see the end of chemo and radio and for the medical profession to use ''targeted'' and ''personalized'' drugs, which means less side effects. I've always said that the best kinds are ones that target the Warburg cause/effect (if a cancerous cell can't make any energy it dies) and immunotherapies.

And his research doesn't appear to be very convincing.
"It’s not as though Dr. Seyfried doesn’t cite clinical evidence. It’s just that the evidence is so darned thin and unconvincing thus far. For instance, in this talk, the first study he presents is a very small case series (two patients, actually) performed in 1995 in which two girls with inoperable astrocytomas were placed on a ketogenic diet in order to “determine if a ketogenic state would..."

I'm talking about his theory that cancer is primarily a metabolic disease that leads to damage to a cells DNA. I asked Dr Gorski (on his science based medicine blog) if he had emailed Professor Seyfried before putting up his post, for his take on this (his metabolic theory and his ketogenic diet treatment) but he failed to reply. He still could email him and ask to do an interview
