Understanding the Nature of Cancer Cells

So, if you've done any reading at all about the nature of cancer cells, you may have discovered that they are what's called "anaerobic". What this means is that glucose (sugar) can enter the cancer cells and cause them to multiply out of control, but oxygen cannot. The prime cause of cancer is the replacement of the respiration of oxygen in normal body cells by fermentation of sugar. All normal body cells meet their energy needs by respiration of oxygen, whereas cancer cells meet their energy needs mainly by fermentation. That's a fancy way of saying that cancer cells are able to multiply so rapidly because they rely on sugar to multiply rather than on oxygen. That's why you'll see a lot of talk about changing the diet of a cancer patient to one that's mostly (80%) vegetables and fruit - and some organic meat for protein purposes.

So, based on what I've just said, it should now make sense to you why someone who is fighting cancer should not be eating anything that contains sugar. I know that's hard to do, since most if not all carbs break down to sugar. But if the majority of your diet is vegetables (veggie shakes, big salads, wheatgrass), you're on the right track because you're not feeding the cancer cells thus causing them to multiply. Cancer thrives on cooked foods rather than raw foods because cooking destroys enzymes and other heat-sensitive vitamins that are destroyed when cooked. Cancer also thrives on sugar, hence the "cancer diet". I won't go too much into the cancer diet because there's a ton of information out there on this subject - just Google "cancer diet" and you will find out all you need to know. Keep in mind that there is lots of information on the internet claiming that this information (or any information relating to alternative cancer cures) is a fraud. The "establishment" will do all it can to debunk any rumors of alternative methods of cancer cure because there's essentially no money in the cure, but there's tons of money in the treatment.

This understanding of how cancer cells operate was discovered by a gentleman named Dr. Otto Warburg, a biochemist who won a Nobel Prize for his research into cancer. He won this award in 1931 and it's sad to me that rather than spending untold amounts of money on poisons for killing cancer (and invariably killing the cancer patient as well), Dr. Warburg's theory on how cancer metabolizes in the body was not pursued. More on how to get inside those cancer cells in the next article.
