Dr Thomas Seager, PhD | The Metabolic Theory of Cancer: Mitochondrial Defects, Cold Water and Ketosis

28 Aug 2024

Description

Thomas Seager joins us again for a conversation challenging the conventional understanding of cancer. Thomas argues that the war on cancer, launched over 50 years ago, has failed to make significant strides in combatting the disease due to a fundamental misunderstanding of its origins.With scientific clarity, Dr. Seager explains:🔬the theory of cancer as a metabolic disease, beginning with defects in mitochondrial DNA, rather than the previously believed nuclear DNA🍯 how glucose metabolism plays a crucial role in cancer growth💧 ketosis and cold exposure therapies in inhibiting tumour growth🏆 inspiring case studies using cold water to combat cancer (see episode with Dean Hall)⚠️ the limitations of traditional cancer treatments (chemotherapy and radiation) and the need for more research and openness towards alternative and/or adjunct therapies focused on metabolic health, mitochondrial function, and lifestyle choices.If you know of someone with cancer at the moment, share this with them. Or better yet, read the papers and books mentioned below and entertain the possibility that there may be additional things you can do to revolutionise their cancer care and improve the prognosis for a loved one. Surely that's worth a read.Find Thomas:SubstackTwitter & Instagram: @seagertp EmailMentioned in this episode:Book: Uncommon Cold by Thomas SeagerIce Bath and Cancer ScienceStudy - Cancer as a metabolic disease: implications for novel therapeuticsStudy - Can the Mitochondrial Metabolic Theory Explain Better the Origin and Management of Cancer than Can the Somatic Mutation Theory?Book - Cancer As A Metabolic Disease by Thomas SeyfriedStudy - Brown-fat-mediated tumour suppression by cold-altered global metabolismDNA repair and anti-cancer mechanisms in the longest-living mammal: the bowhead whaleWant to watch this on video?
