Cancer remains one of the leading causes of death in the United States, with thousands of lives lost each day. Researchers widely agree that healthy lifestyle choices including avoiding tobacco, maintaining a healthy weight, being physically active, limiting alcohol, protecting against excessive sun exposure, and following recommended cancer screenings reduce the risk of many cancers.<\/p>\n
Some scientists, including Dr. Thomas Seyfried, have proposed that disruptions in cellular metabolism play an important role in cancer development and have explored metabolic therapies, such as ketogenic diets, fasting, and other approaches, as potential areas of research. While this work has generated scientific interest, unfortunately the broader medical community continues to view cancer as a complex group of diseases involving interactions among genetic mutations, metabolism, environmental exposures, lifestyle factors, and the immune system.<\/p>\n
Standard treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and hormone therapy are claimed to have improved survival rates for many types of cancer and remain the treatments of choice.<\/p>\n
Ongoing research aims to better understand cancer biology and develop more effective, personalized treatments while emphasizing prevention through healthy lifestyle choices and early detection.<\/p>\n
Fact: According to leading cancer organizations, an estimated 30\u201350% of cancers may be preventable by reducing known risk factors and participating in recommended screening programs.<\/p>\n
The WHO estimate 90%+ of cancer risk is diet and lifestyle, not genetic.<\/p>\n
The blame on genetics fails to account for the fact that diet, exercise and environmental factors (like toxins), labelled epigenetics (Dfn. epi above’ genetics), have ability to ‘turn on’ or ‘turn off’ gene expression.<\/p>\n
