The word Cancer is quite scary but sadly most people know somebody suffering from cancer. The victims are also getting younger.It arises from the transformation of normal cells into tumour cells in a multi-stage process that generally progresses from a pre-cancerous lesion to a malignant tumour.
These changes are the result of the interaction between a person's genetic factors and three categories of external agents, including:
1. Physical carcinogens, such as ultraviolet and ionizing radiation.
2. Chemical carcinogens, such as asbestos, components of tobacco smoke, alcohol, aflatoxin - a food contaminant, and arsenic - a drinking water contaminant
3. Biological carcinogens, such as infections from certain viruses, bacteria, or parasites.
According to the World Health Organization, WHO, Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for nearly 10 million deaths in 2020.
The 4 most common new cases of cancer in 2020 were ;
1. Breast , 2.26 million cases
2. Lung , 2.21 million cases
3. Colon and rectum , 1.93 million cases
4. Prostate , 1.41 million cases
German discovery
Otto Heinrich Warburg was a German Physiologist and Medical Doctor born in 1883 and died in 1970.
Otto discovered a critical biochemical activity in our cells which would be a significant ideology in understanding how cancerous cells survive in our bodies through cellular respiration and metabolism.
This ideology is known as the WARBURG EFFECT and it shows that cancerous cells use a lot of glucose for survival. Many times more than normal body cells.
He won a Nobel Prize in 1931 for this discovery.
This study opened up possibilities of curing cancer by restricting glucose intake.
The best cure for cancer is by starving those cancer cells. When they are denied glucose, they undergo something called apoptosis or cell death.
The immune cells through autophagy then swallow them and remove them from the system.
Normal cells can in the absecence of glucose survive on ketones. Ketones are derived from a breakdown of fats.
We can therefore starve cancer cells to death by simply denying them glucose by following these easy steps,
1. Avoid sugar and carbohydrates including packaged fruit juices.
2. Exercising
3. Embracing prolonged fasting
4. Ketogenesis, can be archieved by adaopting a keto-diet
5. Intermittent fasting
I recommended a 16hr calorie fast for 2 days in a week, like Tuesdays and Fridays. This forces the body to rely on ketones for it's energy.
This can be archieved by eating dinner at 7pm and skipping breakfast, then having lunch at 12 noon the following day.
All these lead to apoptosis of cancerous cells.
If we adopt the ideology of Warburg, the world at large would be a healthier place.
