For the past 70 years the Somatic Mutation Theory (SMT) guided all research and treatment in cancer. Why are so few aware that it was overturned 15 years ago by the Metabolic Theory of Cancer (MTOC)?
Beliefs and brainwashing about certain things can be frightening. The same goes for the story in elementary and junior high school textbooks that vaccines are good. For other things too, try to occasionally check the facts and consider whether they might be the opposite. This is a way of thinking that is beneficial for individuals.
I'm grateful to Dr. Kory for explaining the complex history of cancer treatments in an easy-to-understand way.
Myself and my former attending from residency have been following Dr. Marik's protocol for 2 years and started a Metabolic Approach to Cancer support group that meets monthly with a group of our patients. We have also seen remarkable resolution of metastatic cancer to NED. Beyond thankful for the FLCCC!
I am recently following Jessie Inchauspe and her discovery of how to reduce glucose spikes via 10 easy hacks. She calls herself the Glucose Goddess and has entertaining videos and many YouTube interviews. Her back story is very interesting. I believe everyone would benefit from reducing glucose spikes, as it’s estimated that around 1 in 3 Americans are prediabetic. This, in turn, may prevent a cancer diagnosis.
Dr Kory, I'm looking for treatment for my mother diagnosed with colon cancer. I've become aware that there are metabolic/liquid biopsy tests being used to find best course of treatment including repurposed drugs - such as RGCC/the Greek test, Datar, Astron Health UK, Sysmex. Do you recommend these tests, and any one in particular?
If the cancer cell needs carbs (sugar) then would it be possible to find the type of carb it likes most? Then take that carb and alter it like a Trojan horse so that the cell dies quickly. Im only making this observation to help expand how carbs are looked at and how can they be altered to become an effective treatment.
Hmm. Fascinating stuff. Suggests are high carb, protein is evil diet recommendations could be part of the never decreasing cancer epidemic (not counting the bioweapons injection impacts).
I may have missed it, but it seems the root cause of the metabolic issue was not identified. Did I read that right?
If so, G. Edwin Griffin wrote in "World Without Cancer" that cancer is a deficiency disease, meaning vitamin B17 (or Laetrile, it's synthetic version) being slowly removed from food by over processing and poor soil was the root cause. He directly ties that to apoptosis, or at least inability for cancer cells to kill malformed cells.
Does that seem related or connected? Griffin's book has medical references and a seemingly good discussion of the cellular science... might be a useful read.
Dr. Kory, have you heard of a procedure called chemoembolization?
There is a doctor in Frankfurt, Germany, named Dr. Thomas Vogl who does chemoembolization for tumors - high dose chemo injected into tumor after blocking blood flow to the area to keep the chemo agent local (which it seems is not approved yet in the US except for liver tumors). Do you have any knowledge of this type of treatment (or any other similar treatment like ablation) & prognosis especially for colon tumors.
I know of chemoembolization for hepatocellular carcinoma and/or mets from HCC but not sure when else it is used (I have been out of "the system" for a few years now so not completely sure what they are up to
This article needs a lot of work. Cells use oxygen to extract energy from glucose, that’s the way it works. Using a ketogenic does limit the growth of cancer while the immune system kills the cancer. Cancer has a tendency to overwhelm the human body, ketosis helps level the playing field.
Thank God you are doing this work. What a revelation and I thank all of you, and especially Dr. Marik, for pursuing this work. With all the emphasis on cancer research over the decades, I’ve always wondered why a cure was not found. It appears because researchers, for the most part, were stuck on cancer of somatic origin. The idea of mitochondrial dysfunction fits right in to what we are hearing about the chronic conditions from which Americans are suffering. That the ketogenic diets can benefit those with cancer is an important revelation but has an even bigger importance. It again shows how important the foods we eat are to our health. Basically, we knew this, but more recently the Means book and Bobby Kennedy’s forceful message has heightened awareness. I’m praying for Trump’s win so that Bobby can have an impact on that. Your work fits right in to that, and I hope you and your team will be a part of his work. God bless and Godspeed!
Is cancer simply the loss of normal immune function ? I am taking HGH and Testosterone cream, and with the optimum dosage I can get improved immune function. When my hormone treatment was stopped, a big skin lesion returned that I was told was cancer, and now that I am taking hormones again the skin lesion is disappearing again. My observation is that when hormone activity gets weaker, our immune system can become weaker and underactive. This reduces natural cancer protection and can allow cancer to occur. If I take just the right dose of HGH, my correct level of SHBG is conserved, and I get optimum response to the testosterone I use. This seems to be a highly tuned hormone response, that might be going out of tune when we reach our cancer years. This hormone discovery seems to be on nobodys radar, but it makes sense to me that hormones protect us against cancer by providing immunity. Why is hormones contribution to immunity never mentioned ? and have I discovered the reason why ? I am getting multiple benefits from hormones by using the exact correct dose of HGH. Have you heard of this ?

From a neophyte (Software Engineer) but fan of Chemistry, Physics, and ... Montignac diet: Could the insulin resistance play a role in this?
I know from my own experience of losing weight, by changing my life style and avoiding foods with high glycemic index, that in the first phases, it was harder for the body to get used to it, but after progressing through this new life style, the body started to react more significantly / firmly to it. So the body became more sensitive and highly-tuned to the new thing, and became responsive / agile. Also the intermittent fasting felt like a good and healthy strategy.
Thank you for these articles. They are so well written and packed with such good information that isn't easily accessible to the average person.
What an exciting account! Thank you for sharing and thank you Dr. Kory for writing it in such a way that anyone can understand it!

Love it, refreshing to hear data for both sides.
Suggestion - I'm having trouble following series.
Pls clearly identify series order in title. Ie Intro to MTOC, Part-1 MTOC, etc.
Then follow with existing title verbiage.
How does having a BRCA mutation predispose one to cancer in the MTOC?

"Patients who do R-KD and radiation or chemo do better then either one alone."
If I read this correctly, it means that R-KD should be used in _conjunction _ with either radiation or chemo, correct?

Kash Khan - I think his name is understands the importance of the correct hormone balance! He worked on my daughter and improved her hormone balance.
