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)?
My first career was in radiation therapy. Looking back I see how I was a product of the system. Regurgitating to patients what I had learned in class. I think now that all students of the medical industry are this way. Especially doctors. So overloaded with information to memorize that it does not allow time to ‘think’. Thank you Pierre for taking time to think. About everything we have been told. My whole view has changed regarding treatments for neurological disease such as Alzheimer’s, seizures etc and also for cancer.
Thank you for this excellent article and the dedication to finding truth.
Amazing!! I read Turtles all the Way Down and TOTT on your recommendation. I have worked in an ICU for 30 years but my real education started 4 years ago and you and FLCCC were key to my knowledge. I feel like I am drinking from a fire hose now. THANK YOU!
On a cellular level viruses are the bullet that sets off cancer but the gun...all the toxins, poisons, pesticides, etc they are the guns.
Mitochondrial injury is part of this as well because it is the mitochondria's job to suicide a cell if something has gone wrong with it, so the mitochondria in a cancer cell are sick mitochondria. This is why hyperbaric oxygen helps with cancer treatment (nonconventionally). Hyperbaric oxygen rehabs mitochondria and if they get healthy enough to realize they are in a cancer cell they initiate apoptosis or cell death.
Here is the essence of a theory of cancer that encompasses yours: "Cancer theories can be viewed as 'variations on themes that are themselves varied'". I identified the themes and the variations in the work that I did on this topic in the late seventies. At the time I was doing secondary research on carcinogenesis and anti-carcinogenesis and meeting with cancer researchers from all over the world, including Japan, Australia, England, Scotland, Germany, Jamaica, and the US. You may find of interest and thought-provoking the summary of the conclusions that I reached in the cancer theory pages of my website at https://GordonHumankind.com . See https://gordonhumankind.com/national-and-global-health-challenges-a-unitary-cancer-theory/ . (My page describing my work on the COVID-19 Pandemic may also be of interest at https://gordonhumankind.com/national-and-global-health-challenges-the-covid-19-pandemic/ .)
Thanks so very much for sharing your very helpful work on cancer as well as on COVID-19.
Yes - I humbly appreciate these valuable articles being free. I had to give up my teaching job to care for my husband after a stroke, several years ago. We are now on the Carer’s pension and Disability, while still trying to pay a mortgage, so paying for access to any truly valuable Substack like this one is impossible! So thank you 😊 so much!
Having lost a son to stomach cancer, I became obsessed reading and learning about cancer. Time after time I found results of studies that were called successes because the drug/therapy gave patients more survival time - measured in MONTHS! I asked myself How could this be called success ?
Where is the research that should be changing this outlook?
Why are people dying from cancer STILL? Why did my son have to die?
Looks like the answer is here in this article: a focus on an incorrect theory for causes of cancer! I want to scream and shout at the medical establishment that failed us !
Thank goodness for Dr. Pierre Kory and others who are bringing this to light.
Some of us, were obsessed with the study of the cause of health 4 decades ago.
Some of us became doctors.
Whichever health decline is less relevant with regards to causation. Pioneers in the cause of health shed light many decades ago, and were not early. Those who falsely believed the house was not on fire... That is on them or... the Medical Cartel and their bosses Big P
Big Pharma is to blame for stalling natural cures or preventions of cancer with their demonic search for drug based money making “cures”. To me, assessing prolonging life, by a mere month or two, due to taking a toxic drug, as a “success” is Stone Age thinking! The better path to take is that which RFK is pushing for. Address health in the beginning BEFORE cancers etc start to manifest by legislating against food manufacturers being allowed to lace our foods with toxins and highly addictive chemicals! Go RFK!!!
My ex-wife was diagnosed with early stage pancreatic cancer. She underwent 6 mo's of conventional chemo and is currently recovering from recent Whipple surgery.
While the chemo appears to have prevented cancer spread, it didn't (per pathology) kill any existing cancer cells and so they removed 70% of her pancreas leaving her diabetic.
Question is, can a type 1 diabetic utilize a fully keto diet and still control sugar level's when they crash?
I appreciate any insights and am working to direct her attention to your work.
While I don’t have an answer to your question, I can only applaud you for caring about your ex-wife and looking for information. I don’t see many spouses in my surrounding who would be willing to do such research for their current wife/husband. Hopefully, you can find the answers you need.
I've seen several YouTube videos about doctors with type 1 diabetes who use a keto diet to stabilize their blood sugar then inject insulin a constant rate thus keeping the blood glucose in range.
I truly hope you will be included with the MAHA movement. We need to understand nutrition, not a food pyramid. We need to rid our food of toxins of any kind.
We need more people looking outside the box for answers.
Dr. Atkins was my doctor when he was alive. I’ve been doing low carb/keto for decades. Dr. Atkins did not preach high calories. He said calories do count, but it was the type of calories you ate that mattered. He ran counter to every other cardiologist and they hated him for it. And all these years later….he was right. 🤔
A small detail, you introduce Dr. Seyfried by saying " Thomas Seyfried was a biochemist....." Dr. Seyfried is very much alive and still doing research, just in case people assume he is no longer with us.
Hyperlink typo alert! Dr. Kory, in the paragraph I pasted below, the hyperlink embedded in the term "complimentary cancer care practice" has an error in it and fails to link to the practice - you'll notice that your last name in the link is spelled incorrectly (has a "p" embedded in the name kory). Otherwise, thanks for such a helpful article!
This Paragraph: "His work is what not only inspired my interest in cancer, but also led to our designing of a prospective observational trial to study the impact of adding combinations of metabolic therapies to current standard of care approaches. With my partner Scott Marsland, we quickly built a complementary cancer care practice and have become a study site where we see patients in all 50 states (and even in other countries)."
My feeling, standard of care = money. After the fake pandemic nonsense I can fully believe there has been a conspiracy to prevent any cheap cures for cancer. The current standard of care is mostly expensive treatments that probably have no chance of curing cancer. The people who are the longer term survivors probably were scared into adopting a better diet and lifestyle.
I believe it is now beyond 20 million with many more to come. Some doses were designed to be “slow burners”! Also factor in the generations that will never be born now, because of the sterilisation effect!
Re: "Although dramatic, I have to say that a number of similar late-stage patients have failed to respond. We desperately need to lean more about why some respond and others don’t."
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 this exposition! By the way, have you, Dr Kory, come across "cell suppression theory of cancer" an extension of MTOC explicated in Mark Lintern's book Cancer Resolution, Cancer Reinterpreted Through another Lens" ? It goes on step further back and attempts to answer the question what makes mitochondria malfunction in the first place. To me it makes sense.
Mark Lintern's work is fascinating. His theory is quite straightforward but backed by more than 900 papers... The mitochondria are not "crazy" or "dysfunctional"... but rather "manipulated". By one or several pathogens, to their own advantage.
A family of pathogens looks culprit.... fungi ! This idea is not new (see the italian doctor Simoncini, who wrote a book about it). But Lintern builds his theory, scientific paper after scientific paper (600 pages).
Recently, the presence of several species of fungi inside tumors have been documented.
Last but not least : there is an amazing test to do... allmost 100 % of the molecules (natural or synthetized) used as "alternative" treatments against cancer... have ALSO antifungal properties.
You are my HERO, Dr Kory, ever since I listened to you Senate presentation concerning that horse dewormer of yours :). Since I know how expensive horses can get, I figured it was good enough for my family, and we all, including my 90 year old mother and vaccine injured, I believe son, breezed through Covid with IVM. At that time we were allowed to order it from India with no problem. I also recommended FLCCC protocols through researchgate, substack (Cogito Ergo Sum) and via direct mail to our local children hospital in Kraków, Poland, since my son had had a lengthy stay there shortly before "Covid" hit. Thank you very VERY MUCH indeed.
Fascinating article.

Admission is always the way forward. Information with the ability to assess it accurately
has no upper limit. Reversing direction when the dead end barrier is unavoidable an act of self preservation, also evidence of high level reasoning...
Amazing!! I read Turtles all the Way Down and TOTT on your recommendation. I have worked in an ICU for 30 years but my real education started 4 years ago and you and FLCCC were key to my knowledge. I feel like I am drinking from a fire hose now. THANK YOU!
Indeed, a scholarly treatise on Vaxs and Quaxs. Continue to drink, but sip.

Bravo! Your work is so encouraging I must thank you for making this substack free to all. You're truly a blessing to humanity.

False beliefs are like that.

A question if I might:
My ex-wife was diagnosed with early stage pancreatic cancer. She underwent 6 mo's of conventional chemo and is currently recovering from recent Whipple surgery.
While the chemo appears to have prevented cancer spread, it didn't (per pathology) kill any existing cancer cells and so they removed 70% of her pancreas leaving her diabetic.
Question is, can a type 1 diabetic utilize a fully keto diet and still control sugar level's when they crash?
I appreciate any insights and am working to direct her attention to your work.
Check out Dr Bernstein's Diabetes Solution and RD Dikeman Type 1 Grit for information on Ketogenic diets for type 1 diabetics
While I don’t have an answer to your question, I can only applaud you for caring about your ex-wife and looking for information. I don’t see many spouses in my surrounding who would be willing to do such research for their current wife/husband. Hopefully, you can find the answers you need.
Yes, there are books for type 1 DM. You can Google.
I've seen several YouTube videos about doctors with type 1 diabetes who use a keto diet to stabilize their blood sugar then inject insulin a constant rate thus keeping the blood glucose in range.
Isn’t there a very important difference in medical approach to Type 1 diabetes versus Type 2???
I've read the same literature and as a result am personally giving the MTOC a field test. I'll let you guys know how it goes! :-)
Dr. Kory,
I truly hope you will be included with the MAHA movement. We need to understand nutrition, not a food pyramid. We need to rid our food of toxins of any kind.

He said calories do count, but it was the type of calories you ate that mattered. He ran counter to every other cardiologist and they hated him for it. And all these years later….he was right. 🤔
Yes Atkinson was demonised much the same way that ignorant main stream health demonises Dr McCullough!
fantastic article, Dr. Kory!
A small detail, you introduce Dr. Seyfried by saying " Thomas Seyfried was a biochemist....." Dr. Seyfried is very much alive and still doing research, just in case people assume he is no longer with us.
Yes, and there are numerous YouTube interviews with him.

thank you!! will fix
Good pick up. Thank you 😊

Astute observation. The fake pandemic and the fake "virus" had many objectives including genocide. 17 mil dead from the Quaxcine.
I believe it is now beyond 20 million with many more to come. Some doses were designed to be “slow burners”! Also factor in the generations that will never be born now, because of the sterilisation effect!
They call it "cancer care" for a reason...
