Cancer as a Metabolic Disease
Dr. Thomas Seyfried
Cancer is not genetic—it's a metabolic disease caused by the breakdown of your cells' ability to produce energy in the mitochondria. This breakdown weakens DNA, causing it to uncouple and fracture. When it reforms, the result is dysfunctional DNA that can lead to cancer.
This cellular process has been misinterpreted since Watson and Crick's discovery of the double helix. However, the metabolic understanding of cancer actually dates back to the 1920s. Despite nearly 100 years of research in this field, we remain stuck in the outdated paradigm that genes cause cancer—a claim that simply isn't true.
In this book, leading metabolic cancer researcher Dr. Seyfried explains cancer as a metabolic disease. He examines its causes, including nutritional deficiencies, chemicals, toxins, and chronic infections—factors we've known about for decades but can now understand through the lens of metabolic dysfunction.
When you understand how cancer starts, you're equipped to prevent or even treat it. This breakthrough information is already being applied successfully around the world.
