- There are all kinds of side effects from chemotherapy, even though it can save people.
- There have been several theories of disease. (8:00)
- NCI states that cancer is a genetic disease of dysregulated cell growth, called the somatic mutation theory.
- Another theory suggests that damage to organelles can cause mutations in cells, or that mutations may have a mitochondrial metabolic origin.
- The treatment of cancer as a metabolic disease also allows people to participate in the management of their disorder.
- He explains the importance of oxygen and energy and how they affect the cells. (11:00)
- This is known as the mitochondrial metabolic theory of cancer.
- Dr. Seyfried explains some fascinating experiments and theories. (14:00)
- Once there is an agreement on the mitochondrial metabolic theory, treatment for cancers could be much less toxic and more manageable. (17:00)
- Metabolically treating cancer can help because even if there is recurrence, it can often be treated with fewer chemicals. (20:00)
- The idea is to reduce or eliminate the cancer through diet and medication that target the fermentation metabolism.

The Glucose Ketone Index
- What kind of diet and supplementation can help those who may have cancer? (27:30)
