The consensus theory explaining the cause of cancer is called the Somatic Mutation Theory. It has guided research and treatment in cancer for over 70 years. Let's examine its (non) validity.
As a former Onc, SMT was hammered into us nonstop. The MT is being proven in real time by repurposed drugs and non inflammatory diets. Again, this was excellent. Thank you.
Antifungals may prove useful in combatting many cancers according the “The Cancer ReSolution?” by Mark Lintern May 15, 2023.) Definitely worth a read - it goes beyond the metabolic theory, considering several additional 'hallmarks of cancer', and fits them all far better. See more at https://www.cellsuppression.com/ . The ivermectin / fenbendazole approach took me from what my doctors called untreatable metastasized prostate bone cancer to full remission in about 6 weeks.
Can you point me to a mitochondria repair protocol? I am self-medicating for two different post covid cancers. I have been using various anti-parasitic protocols, but have moved myself to researching the mitochondria, with a view to focusing on mitochondrial health.
Thank you for being a true doctor/healing. Your work helped save my daughter when she went through MIS-C. Thank you feels hardly enough to say, but I mean it from the depths of my being. Thank you!!
Dear Dr. Kory, Your ability to write about complex things and make them understandable and interesting to the average layman is an amazing skill. Understanding cancer and how to treat it correctly would be a gigantic advance for mankind. Thanks for being a truth warrior during this dark time in our world.
Nothing makes me happier as a cancer patient than to hear more doctors vocalise that we have been barking up tue wrong tree with cancer for YEARS. Greatly appreciate you taking the time to illuminate this poorly understood and widely unknown situation with this chronic disease.
Yes, the SMT is like the Big Bang Theory, so full of holes and theoretical patches that it should long ago have been rejected for violating Occam's Razor.
Dr. Kory- your post could not be more relevant to me right now having been diagnosed with breast cancer in May. I was familiar with Thomas Seyfried from a FLCCC podcast. I went into research mode, read all I could about metabolic theory of cancer, and tried to communicate with Seyfried,
and find a provider that would work with his Press/ Pulse protocol, but to no avail. Having no other option and feeling pressed for time, I started traditional chemo in July. I’ve converted to total keto and fasting for 72 hours around chemo. I’m also searching for next steps to prevent or limit the formation cancer stem cells that will inevitably lead to recurrence or metastasis. Looking forward to your next posts and any input is greatly appreciated.
If interested in adding a repurposed combination protocol to your regimen in a complementary fashion, I would be remiss if I didnt suggest my practice (or Kathleen Ruddy's practice) as we are both treatment centers for the study - drpierrekory.com
Hi Pierre, there is a new theory published in 2023 - the Cell Suppression Theory of cancer (CST). I think you'll find it interesting as it is the first to explain all hallmarks, and many other features of cancer besides. And provides an alternative explanation for the Warburg effect in cancer.
For people who are trying to treat their own cancers, who are not from a medical background, concentrating on articles like this to extract what WE need from them can be hard. My new best friend - that provides the brain power I no longer possess to do this for myself - is ChatGPT.
My question to ChatGPT: In simple layman's terms, in no more than three paragraphs, please explain the difference between Somatic Mutation Theory (SMT) and The Metabolic Theory Of Cancer.
ChatGPT: "Somatic Mutation Theory (SMT) and the Metabolic Theory of Cancer offer two different explanations for how cancer starts and grows. SMT suggests that cancer begins when the DNA in a cell gets damaged or mutated. These mutations cause the cell to lose control over its growth, leading to a tumor. According to this theory, cancer is primarily a genetic disease, where the focus is on the changes in the cell's DNA.
"On the other hand, the Metabolic Theory of Cancer proposes that cancer starts not from genetic mutations, but from problems in how cells process energy. This theory suggests that when a cell's metabolism—its way of converting nutrients into energy—gets disrupted, it can lead to cancer. Instead of relying on oxygen to produce energy, cancer cells start using a less efficient process called fermentation, which doesn't need oxygen. This change in energy production is believed to drive the uncontrolled growth of cancer cells.
"In simple terms, while SMT views cancer as a result of damaged DNA, the Metabolic Theory sees it as a disease of energy production gone wrong. SMT focuses on genetic mutations as the cause, while the Metabolic Theory emphasizes the cell's energy processes as the root of the problem."
Me again. I have landed on the idea of I should treat the mitochondria to treat whatever caused my body to develop two different post-covid cancers simultaneously - at 73. I found, while investigating "treatments" I was already using for a range of health issues, that many of those "treatments" is ALSO part of a nutritional regime to help the mitochondria perform correctly. Good one. I am on the right path. Let's hope I learn enough before the cancer overtakes my entire body, to stop that happening. Can you point me to a mitochondria repair protocol?
I am very much enjoying this subject / information and look forward to the next article!
I recently joined a cancer group and someone posted/recommended this book: Cancer is Not a Disease - It's a Healing Mechanism by Andreas Moritz. I'm just starting the 2nd chapter and the way he describes it's purpose in the body is almost poetically beautiful.
I've no idea if you've read his work, agree with any of it, or are about to explain cancer in a similar way. It is certainly a much different concept than any I've come across.
I have a lot of work to do and hope that I can be mentally strong. I haven't prayed since I was a child and only then because I was told to. Thank you again, Dr Kory, for being you no matter what.
Brilliant! On the vanguard of a new movement in medicine. As the Chinese symbol for crisis wisely suggest, a crisis is facing both the difficulty as well as seeing the opportunity. I have so much admiration for the doctors who were unable to close their eyes and ears, and who have come out the other side with a new look at the entire practice of medicine. This is the start of a paradigm shift, I am convinced.
Excellent summary.

Wow! Great to hear from an oncologist... thanks for this

I didn't know that you are a former oncologist.
What are you doing these days?
Thank you for being a true doctor/healing. Your work helped save my daughter when she went through MIS-C. Thank you feels hardly enough to say, but I mean it from the depths of my being. Thank you!!
Great article. While your work regarding the Covid saga is invaluable, it is great to see your talent branch out. Thanks!

Understanding cancer and how to treat it correctly would be a gigantic advance for mankind. Thanks for being a truth warrior during this dark time in our world.
You continue to give me hope in the science and art of diagnosing and treating disease or injury and maintaining health.
Keep on keeping on!👏👏👏

I’ll reach out. Thank you!
Hoping your theory puts a BIG torpedo in big Pharma’s hull and opens the door for many successful outcomes and preventions
Thank you, Dr. Kory, for all you are doing for us!
Biology was never my strong suit in school, I either played hooky or got a failing grade when I knew dissecting a live frog was on the class agenda.
You’ve made my understanding of the science so much clearer and never once asked me to kill anything. For that, I will be eternally grateful!

Isn't insulin resistance (diabetes type 2) also a metabolic disease involving mitochondrial dysfunction? ruh roh.
