We do need to change the way we look at cancer and also every other disease that has an impact on people today.  For too long we have held hard to dogma with no hope of changing thinking patterns to ones that might really lead to something beneficial. In this mode it is exciting to learn of a tremendous new book that is doing just this.   Cancer as a Metabolic Disease: On the Origin, Management, and Prevention of Cancer written by Thomas Seyfried PhD, picking up where Otto Warburg left off. The book is about, as stated by the publisher, "...addresses controversies related to the origins of cancer and provides solutions to cancer management and prevention. It expands upon Otto Warburg's well-known theory that all cancer is a disease of energy metabolism.  However, Warburg did not link his theory to the "hallmarks of cancer" and thus his theory was discredited.  This book aims to provide evidence, through case studies, that cancer is primarily a m...

We celebrate those who beat cancer ... but ignore efforts to prevent it By Bill O'Driscoll News cycle: Stories about Lance Armstrong's recovery ignored the fast-rising incidence of testicular cancer. In October 1996, Lance Armstrong, then 25 and the world's seventh-ranked professional bicyclist, learned he had testicular cancer. The cancer had spread to his lungs, brain and abdomen. He was given a 40 percent chance of survival.  "I intend to beat this disease," he told reporters. Armstrong survived, of course -- the brain surgery, the grueling rounds of chemotherapy -- and went on to seven straight Tour de France titles. Armstrong's recovery was received joyously. Headlines like "With Each Day, a Triumph" were standard; thousands of fan letters and emails arrived weekly. In 1999, Armstrong told  Bicycling  magazine, "The cancer -- I owe my life to it. … I wouldn't be married. I wouldn't have a kid on the way. And I'm a [better] rider...
