Synopsis

The book 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 metabolic disease requring metabolic solutions for its management and prevention. Support for this position is derived from critical assessment of current cancer theories. Brain cancer case studies are presented as a proof of principle for metabolic solutions to disease management, but similarities are drawn to other types of cancer, including breast and colon, due to the same cellular mutations that they demonstrate.

This audiobook is expertly read and engineered by Brian Arens. It was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, LLC, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.

Goodreads review by William on February 21, 2023

A controversial exploration into the biochemistry of cancer. Seyfried rejects genetics as the origin of cancer, and instead believes that a failure in cell respiration caused by excessive glucose in our blood cells is the central problem. This book is a science book (Cost is over $75.00) and is mean......more

Goodreads review by Greg on March 03, 2013

It is rare these days to read a new idea within the field of cancer, its causes and its treatment. There is no absence of old ideas, to be sure, but they are remarkably underwhelming in their explanatory power, and even less impressive in their ability to generate new and useful therapies. Seyfried e......more

Goodreads review by Denis on July 06, 2021

Probably the best scientific book I have ever read, and must be the best book about the cancer. This was not the easiest and shortest read, but still quite feasible. The analysis, the arguments, the depth of thoughts on the metebolic cancer theory are really on a very high level. If you have a cance......more

Goodreads review by Benji on June 15, 2020

The most common view on the etiology of cancer is that it is a genetic disease involving mutations of genes that normally prevent cancer from occurring. The thought is that over time things like radiation cause damage to DNA, the cell replicates in an incorrect manner, and it's progeny become malign......more

Goodreads review by Petter on January 19, 2025

This was a really impressive work, covering a fantastic range of dimensions regarding the cancer as a metabolic disease theory. Color me convinced, and hopeful that this will take root and transform therapies around the world for those stricken with this devastating disease. It's a fight against mon......more
