White guy science. It is racist I tell you!
Thanks for the post. I will definitely read this.
I have no idea what any of that means on a personal level

Better prospects for your kids.
Thanks for posting, BL. I never knew that “cancer cells don’t metabolize sugar the same way that healthy cells usually do,” that they use fermentation, and this has been known for 100 years. What a fascinating problem to solve.
“Better prospects for your kids.”
Great answer, TG. Spot-on.
Nad is bad
I understand none of this but have seen NAD being used as a possible treatment for COVID. Didn’t really read up on it to see if it had any validity
Here in S. FL there are quite a few Dr shops (real MDs) that have opened boutiques with drug/mineral/vitamin IV concoctions. One such treatment in NAD+ which is touted as a unique treatment and powerful. I can’t tell from this article if such a treatment would be arguably a benefit or a cancer fuel?
Sounds like a reasonable amount of vegetables is a good preventative approach, since many contain NAD inhibitors.
In biology, it’s called the krebs cycle. It’s the life and death of a cell and the changes that take place which is usually nothing more than giving up an atom or the electron that travels with it. When a teeny change happens, a new substance is formed, energy bursting forth or reduced.
It all happens in this orderly fashion which we were sposta memorize..but most of us didn’t.
This article describes the life cycle of a cancer cell compared to a normal healthy cell and provides the answer to developing drugs to inhibit the krebs cycle of a cancer cell while allowing healthy cells to continue a normal life cycle.
This is important because todays chemo is hard to ebdure. It affects all cells, and sometimes only acts as brakes on the cancer cells...the cancer returns, chemo again, and yiu get sicker and die.
If you ever get cancer...i hope you don’t, you will understand how the findings of these researchers, impact you.
Hope that helps!
I picked the enzyme Alcohol Dehydrogenase to do a research paper on. It was fascinating to read how "Competitive Inhibition" for this enzyme is how doctors save the lives of kids who ingest a fatal amount of ethylene glycol (ie antifreeze). The enzyme's purpose is to digest ethyl alcohol (ie booze) in your tissues by converting it to acetaldehyde (H3C-CH2OH + 1/2 O2 => H3C-COH + H2O). But it also happens to convert ethylene glycol (HOH2C-CH2OH) into a toxic substance by converting both "H2OH" groups at the ends of the 2-carbon chain. So the way to save the patient is to flood their blood stream with as much booze as you dare without the side effects killing them, and keep the level high for as long as is needed for the booze to "out-compete" the ethylene glycol for the "attention" of the enzyme, while meanwhile the kidneys slowly flush out the un-converted ethylene glycol.
I got a big chuckle out of an incident with the T.A. One day just as her office hours were ending and she was locking her door and mistakenly thought she was about to make a clean getaway, I showed up with a test or quiz paper in my hand to argue about what I considered a mis-grading. She sighed as she put the key back into to re-open her door and said to me: "Let me guess. You're a Pre-Med major, right?" I replied, "Nope! I'm a Math Major with a Comp Sci Option". You should have seen her jaw drop. Heh heh!
Fermentation converts sugar. This could explain why sugars and carbs “feed” cancer cells.
Is there a proven way to “starve” cancer cells?
Will severely limiting sources of glucose and carbs in your diet have any effect on Ca cell growth?
Is the hypothesis that ketosis inhibits Ca cell growth just that, or is it a provable theory now?
All cells are fed with sugars. Cancer cells are just ones that are growing fast yet don’t do their jobs. Kind of like democrats.
You kill them by disrupting their ability to multiply while causing cellular death.
The SAD (Standard American Diet) has WAY too much sugar. In the 1600s British death records began listing “by teeth”, a result of the sugar obtained by the slave trade. For a while black teeth were considered “fashionable” as only the wealthy could afford sugar.
I’d suggest a search on “keto cancer” or “low carb cancer.”
Normal cells can use either fat or sugar for fuel. Cancer cells can only use sugar. So if you eat a lot of sugar (or things that convert to sugar) you are providing lots of food for cancer cells to grow and multiply. If you limit sugar, you starve cancer cells, killing them or severely retarding their growth. Eat a low sugar, keto/meat diet with a good percentage of healthy fats. High fructose corn syrup makes cancer cells grow like crazy. Never eat it. Once your normal cells convert over to fat burning mode, you'll lose weight, have lots of even steady energy, and minimize your chance of getting cancer.
