Another theory of cancer that I found interesting, was the mitochondrial theory of cancer.
It proposes that cancer is essentially a mitochondrial disorder, rather than the result of genetic defects in the nucleus of the cell. Experiments have shown, that if you put the nucleus of a cancerous cell into a non-cancerous cell, it remains non-cancerous; but even if you replace the nucleus of a cancerous cell with one from a non-cancerous cell, it remains cancerous.
The application of that theory in practice, is to stave cancer of sugar/glycogen with an extremely low carb ketogenic diet. I read the book Keto for Cancer (https://www.amazon.com/Keto-Cancer-Ketogenic-Metabolic-Nutritional/dp/1603587012/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1529817888&sr=1-3&keywords=keto+and+cancer) and thought that it made a good case.
Mitochondria are the power houses of the cell producing the energy for the body in the form of ATP. This is the process where your body turns nutrients, oxygen and glucose into carbon dioxide and ATP. This process is called the Citris Acid or Kreb’s cycle and is how ATP is produced Aerobically.
This process is seven times more efficient that the anarobic process done in the cytoplasm. There are many elements to this complex process.
I have recently been studying the effect of fasting and ketones on this system as they have shown that O2 consumption and CO2 release has been substantially decreased in the body, thus resulting in much less hypoxia. It is proven by monitoring a diver’s ability to hold their breath under water while in ketosis.
My mind goes all over the place in reasearch based upon my guidance in meditation. Recently it has been guiding me to learn and compare and contrast the Krebs Cycle to the Calvin Cycle that plants use to produce energy. Not there yet.
