Exercising at least thirty minutes daily reduces the risk of 13 types of metabolic cancers. Starting exercise after a cancer diagnosis improves survival rates, notably in breast, prostate, and colon cancers. Research published in Cell Press highlights the benefits of exercise in prostate cancer, noting that exercise introduces myokines that inhibit tumor cell growth. Tumors need a blood supply to thrive, and natural killer cells, activated through exercise, can cut off this supply. Therefore, exercise serves as both preventative and curative medicine.

People are getting colon cancer at younger ages due to low-fiber diets. The human body, especially the gut, requires 20 to 30 grams of fiber daily to function properly. Younger people consuming ultra-processed foods get very little fiber from birth, leading to poor gut health after 15 to 20 years. The gut, with possibly trillions of processes, is crucial for overall health, and imbalance can trigger a cascade leading to colon cancer. Increasing daily fiber intake through fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds, beans, legumes, and lentils is essential.

Speaker 0: If you don't want to get cancer before you are 50, stop these six habits immediately. Number one, microwaving plastic inside of me. The heat releases microplastics that leach into your food and catalyze cancer causing hormonal imbalance in your body. Number two, eating burnt or charred steak. Those black crispy parts contain benzopyrines that form carcinogenic metabolites that damage your DNA directly and cause cancer. Speaker 1: Number three, rubbing aluminum deodorant onto your skin. It absorbs through your pores and accumulates in breast tissue where it acts as a metalloestrogen and tumors develop. Speaker 0: Number four, this is the one almost everyone does. Sleeping with your phone under your pillow or next to your head. I release radio frequency radiation classed as a group two b carcinogen that causes cancer from prolonged exposure. Speaker 1: Number five, drinking from plastic water bottles left in hot cars. The heat activates toxic BPAs that leach into your water and attack your organs.

The incidence of cancer is rising due to lifestyle factors like insulin resistance, vitamin D deficiency, obesity, and processed foods. Cancer is fundamentally a metabolic disease, not a genetic one, as James Watson suggests shifting research focus from genetics to cancer cell metabolism. Prevention involves addressing metabolic syndrome, vitamin D deficiency, and processed foods. Key interventions include a low-carbohydrate, high-fat ketogenic diet to starve cancer cells of glucose, while fueling healthy cells with ketones. Green tea, melatonin, and vitamin D are highly effective. Metformin, curcumin, mebendazole, omega-3s, berberine, exercise, and stress reduction also play crucial roles. A combination of these synergistic interventions is recommended for both prevention and treatment.

Speaker 0: Let's start with I had predicted, unfortunately, and I hate that I am right. I predicted before the vaccines were ever launched to the public that they would have a profound impact on the immune system. And as a result of that alone, would likely cause increased cancer rates just because of their immunological impact. So let's start, if you would, just by talking a little bit about what you are seeing in the data, in the numbers with regard to cancers, what kinds of cancers, those sorts of things. And then maybe we'll get into the weeds, you and I, about perhaps some of the pathology of that, why that might be, some theories for why we're seeing these numbers. Speaker 1: You know, Doctor. Kelly, I've been tracking these turbo cancers as they're being called, these very aggressive cancers that are showing up in young COVID vaccinated people. The youngest case I've reported is a 12 year old boy who had a Moderna vaccine and came down with, end stage brain cancer that killed him in less than a year. I'm seeing it in teenagers in university and college students who are mandated to take COVID vaccines. People in their twenties, thirties, forties, fifties are coming down with stage four cancers. These cancers are presenting at a late stage, stage three, but usually stage four. These are lymphomas, leukemias, these are breast cancers, colon cancers, lung cancers, hepatobiliary cancers, testicular cancers in young men, ovarian cancers in women, kidney cancers, renal cell cancers, melanomas, skin cancers, and sarcomas as well. So these are the types of cancers that are showing up in a younger cohort than oncologists expect. They're showing up at a late stage. The tumors can grow very large. So some of these tumors are described as football sized, even watermelon sized, you know, these are ten, fifteen centimeter tumors, and they're very aggressive and and they really they spread very rapidly. Even when the surgeons are trying to get at them, trying to surgically excise them so that they could control the tumor, what they usually find after surgery is that the tumor has already spread. It's already spread to the lymph nodes, it's already spread to the lungs or the bones, very aggressive cancers, and really related to the COVID-nineteen vaccine specifically, and mRNA vaccines, the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. Speaker 0: One of the things, me just step back for a second, because one of the things that might not be known to our audience is that all cancers are not created equal with regard to the population that they hit. You know, for example, we not uncommonly and tragically see certain blood cancers in children leukemias, for example. It wouldn't be uncommon, to to see a brain tumor, brain cancers sometimes in young children. It would be extraordinarily uncommon to see a colon cancer in somebody before the fourth or fifth decade. Very uncommon to see a lung cancer before the fourth or fifth decade. Those sorts of things, extremely uncommon to see. So some of these cancers that we are seeing, and I think you're getting at that, things like these colon cancers, we are now seeing colon cancers in people in their late teens, twenties, and thirties. And again, as you said, very aggressive colon cancers. So it's not just that cancers per se, but it's seeing cancers in in groups of people in whom they'd never seen before. So let's in terms of just to put some magnitude on it. In terms of give us some sense of the magnitude versus what we would have considered to be the baseline numbers. Speaker 1: You know, it's very hard to get a sense of this because it's almost impossible to get good cancer data from from the governments. Know, Ed Dowd has talked about this, the difficulty of getting good data. You know, I've tried to get cancer data here in Canada from Statistics Canada, from the Canadian Cancer Society, and they are not reporting any data from 2021 or 2022. It seems they're holding this data back. And so I'm left with anecdotal evidence. When Ed Dowd, you know, he'll report from US insurance data that disability rates, in the working population, let's say, eighteen to sixty four, who abided by the COVID vaccine mandates, disability rates are 500% higher compared to the working population who dropped out of the workforce and didn't want to get the vaccines. Well, a big portion of those disabilities are these cancers, are these cancer diagnoses. And so, you know, I'm seeing an explosion of these cancers. I'm seeing it in doctors. I'm seeing it in nurses. I'm seeing it in other vaccine mandated professions. So all types of healthcare workers, I'm seeing it in teachers, I'm seeing it in police officers, firefighters, the military. You know, you see it in flight attendants, for example, you know, you had these airlines that wanted to have 100% vaccinated workforce. So really anywhere where there were very strict COVID vaccine mandates, that's where I'm seeing these explosions of these very aggressive cancers. And I can tell you, this year, '23, seems to be much worse. There's many more cases of these turbo cancers than in 2022 or 2021. The trend is upwards. The numbers are on the rise. You can see this on websites like GoFundMe. If you go on GoFundMe and you put stage four cancer and you can pick whatever cancer you want, you could put, you know, breast cancer, you could put lung cancer, colon cancer. Not only are you seeing the shocking ages, young ages of these individuals who are reporting their cancers and their fundraising because, you know, they lose their jobs when they're undergoing chemotherapy, for example, by you see just how many people are suffering are coming down from these cancers, especially in 2023. It's just unbelievable. It's a tsunami of cancer diagnosis.

Colleagues of, doctor Seung Song have seen colon cancer, and again, colon cancer, again, associated with older age groups. Now we do get colon cancer sometimes as a result of genetic abnormality in people in their thirties, forties, even twenties, tragically. It does happen. But typically, that's due to some specific genetic abnormality. Colleagues of doctor Seung Song are seeing cancers in eight, 10, and 11 year olds. Again, this is just unheard of.

Guests: Joe Zundell
reSee.it Podcast Summary
Cancer rates are rising among young people, largely due to poor dietary habits and sedentary lifestyles, as well as improved detection methods. Specific cancers, such as liver, pancreatic, and kidney cancers, are linked to the consumption of ultra-processed foods, which can cause metabolic stress and organ damage over time. Chronic consumption of these foods can lead to conditions like liver scarring and microbiome dysbiosis, contributing to increased cancer rates. Dietary recommendations emphasize the importance of protein intake, with optimal levels suggested to be around 1.2 to 1.6 grams per kilogram for muscle maintenance and exercise. Fiber, particularly from sources like psyllium husk, is crucial for overall health. Foods to minimize include alcohol and ultra-processed items, while whole foods should be prioritized. Cooking methods also matter, as high-heat cooking can produce carcinogenic compounds. The relationship between protein and cancer is complex; while amino acids can fuel cancer growth, restricting them isn't a straightforward solution. Exercise and a diet rich in antioxidants can bolster resilience against carcinogens. Stress management is also vital, as psychological stress can lead to unhealthy behaviors that increase cancer risk. Preventative strategies include maintaining a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and ensuring quality sleep. The importance of reducing exposure to environmental toxins, such as PFAS, is highlighted, along with the need for awareness regarding dietary choices, including sugar intake and artificial sweeteners. Overall, a holistic approach to nutrition and lifestyle is essential for reducing cancer risk and promoting health.

Controlling the controllables in life, such as exercising, maintaining a healthy weight, and consuming a nutrient-rich diet, is crucial for reducing cancer risks. Fiber plays a significant role in digestive health and can help regulate the gut microbiome, particularly for individuals with genetic predispositions like Lynch syndrome. Red meat is not inherently carcinogenic; rather, cooking methods can create carcinogens. Carcinogens are prevalent in our environment, and understanding them can help mitigate risks. Chronic smoking significantly increases cancer risk, but not everyone exposed to carcinogens will develop cancer. Obesity, linked to 13 types of cancer, is exacerbated by processed foods and high sugar intake, which can lead to metabolic dysregulation. Dietary strategies, including fiber intake, can improve cancer treatment outcomes. Exercise promotes immune function and can help cancer patients respond better to therapies. Fasting and time-restricted eating may have protective effects in specific contexts, but caution is advised. Overall, maintaining a diverse diet, regular exercise, and awareness of carcinogens are essential for cancer prevention and health. Knowledge empowers individuals to make informed choices about their health and diet.

"This Is Feeding Cancer Cells!" - How To Starve & Prevent Disease Early On | Dr. Thomas Seyfried
Guests: Thomas Seyfried, Daniel Orrego, Gregory Howard, Michelle Howard, Lara Adler, Andrew Lacy, Joe Zundell
reSee.it Podcast Summary
The discussion centers on the metabolic origins of cancer, emphasizing that cancer cells often revert to ancient fermentation pathways for energy, leading to uncontrolled growth. This process is linked to mitochondrial dysfunction, which produces reactive oxygen species (ROS) that damage cellular components, resulting in mutations. The focus of cancer research has largely been on downstream mutations rather than addressing the root cause—metabolic dysregulation. The Warburg effect highlights that cancer cells primarily use glucose and glutamine as fermentable fuels, akin to ancient cells that thrived in low-oxygen environments. To combat cancer, it is proposed to restrict these fermentable fuels while transitioning healthy cells to utilize ketone bodies and fatty acids, which cancer cells cannot ferment. This approach aims to deprive cancer cells of their energy sources while supporting normal cells. The ketogenic diet, initially used for epilepsy, is discussed as a potential therapeutic strategy for cancer. It lowers blood sugar and increases ketone production, which can benefit healthy cells while starving cancer cells. The importance of maintaining low blood sugar levels to manage cancer is emphasized, as spikes in glucose can fuel tumor growth. The conversation also touches on the challenges of traditional cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiation, which may inadvertently promote tumor growth by increasing available nutrients in the tumor microenvironment. The need for a more integrated approach that combines metabolic therapy with conventional treatments is highlighted, suggesting that low doses of chemotherapy could be more effective when the body is in a ketogenic state. Case studies and preclinical research indicate that metabolic therapies can slow tumor progression and improve patient outcomes. However, the implementation of these strategies in clinical settings faces obstacles due to adherence to traditional treatment protocols and regulatory barriers. The discussion further explores the role of environmental toxins in cancer development, emphasizing that lifestyle modifications could prevent a significant percentage of cancer cases. The importance of addressing socioeconomic factors that limit access to healthy foods and healthcare is also acknowledged, as these disparities contribute to higher cancer rates in disadvantaged communities. Overall, the conversation advocates for a paradigm shift in cancer treatment, focusing on metabolic health, dietary interventions, and a holistic understanding of cancer as a complex disease influenced by various factors, including genetics, environment, and lifestyle. The goal is to empower patients with knowledge and strategies to take control of their health and improve their chances of survival.

The Dark Truth About Why The Cancer Rate In People 18-49 Is Sky Rocketing & What We Can Do About It!
Guests: Dr. William Li, Dr. Casey Means
reSee.it Podcast Summary
The episode opens with alarming data: early-onset cancer diagnoses in people aged 18 to 49 have risen by about 79% over 30 years, prompting Jillian Michaels to gather experts Dr. William Li and Dr. Casey Means to explain causes and potential solutions. The discussion quickly shifts from celebrity stories to a deeper biological picture: cancer arises when normal cells mutate and bypass immune surveillance, turning microscopic abnormalities into clinically visible tumors. The guests emphasize that genetics alone cannot explain the trend, since genetic changes don’t occur rapidly enough and screening for young adults is limited. Instead, they point to cumulative environmental exposures, chronic inflammation, and the “allostatic load” from modern life—toxins, ultra-processed foods, sedentary behavior, disrupted sleep, stress, microplastics, and other modern insults that collectively burden the body's repair systems and immune defenses. The conversation then becomes practical, with a focus on how to reduce risk in the absence of a single silver bullet. The experts advocate strengthening the gut microbiome as a foundational move because a healthy gut supports immunity and lowers inflammation. They discuss manageable changes: prioritize whole, real foods; minimize ultra-processed products; ensure clean water and reduced antibiotic overuse; monitor metabolic health through accessible biomarkers like triglycerides, fasting glucose, CRP, and insulin-related factors; and optimize sleep and physical activity. Dr. Li highlights immunotherapy breakthroughs that have shifted cancer from deadly to more controllable, underscoring that prevention supports the body’s ability to respond to treatment when cancer occurs. The episode also tackles broader societal and industry dynamics, including obesogenic environments, the obesity-cancer connection via insulin and IGF-1, and the debate over birth control, hormones, and estrogen's role in breast cancer trends. Microplastics emerge as a concerning new exposure that could disrupt hormonal balance and accumulate in tissues, prompting practical cautions like avoiding plastic bottles, heating with plastics, and choosing organic foods where feasible. Although data remain complex, the consensus is clear: a multi-pronged, realistic approach—improving diet, sleep, exercise, stress management, toxin exposure, and metabolic health—can meaningfully reduce cancer risk and improve resilience against disease. The hosts and guests close by stressing a compassionate, evidence-informed stance: the goal is not to pretend cancer can be eliminated, but to bolster the body's natural defenses through sustainable lifestyle choices and informed skepticism toward simplistic dietary dogmas. They point to actionable steps and resources, including books and websites, that readers can consult to tailor a plan that fits their lives while keeping optimism about ongoing research and therapeutic advances.

Main Cause Of Cancer? - How It Spreads In The Body & How To STARVE IT With Fasting | Dr. Jason Fung
reSee.it Podcast Summary
The discussion centers around the evolutionary perspective of cancer, emphasizing that it is not solely a genetic disease but significantly influenced by environmental factors. The host explains Darwin's concept of natural selection using the example of Galapagos birds with varying beak sizes adapted to their food sources. Similarly, cancer develops through chronic damage to cells influenced by environmental conditions rather than just genetic predisposition. For instance, breast cancer rates can dramatically increase when a Japanese woman moves to the U.S., highlighting the role of environment. Research indicates that tobacco smoke accounts for approximately 35% of cancer cases, while diet contributes around 30%. The host notes that obesity, particularly hyperinsulinemia, is a major driver of cancer, with the World Health Organization identifying 13 cancers related to obesity. The conversation shifts to the importance of understanding dietary impacts on cancer, revealing that traditional views on vitamins and dietary components have not proven effective in preventing cancer. Fasting and caloric restriction are discussed as methods to improve metabolic health and potentially extend lifespan. The host explains that fasting activates autophagy, a process that removes damaged cellular components, promoting rejuvenation. This aligns with the idea that reducing insulin levels through dietary changes can lower cancer risk, as cancer cells thrive on insulin and glucose. The conversation transitions to the historical understanding of cancer, outlining three paradigms. The first paradigm views cancer as excessive cell growth, leading to treatments focused on killing cells. The second paradigm identifies genetic mutations as the cause of cancer growth, but this approach has limitations due to the complexity and variability of genetic mutations across different cancers. The third paradigm introduces an evolutionary ecological perspective, suggesting that cancer cells revert to survivalist behaviors akin to single-celled organisms when faced with chronic environmental stressors. The host emphasizes the need for a supportive environment and community to facilitate healthier behaviors, particularly regarding diet and fasting. They advocate for structural changes in workplaces to eliminate unhealthy snacking and promote healthier eating habits. Overall, the discussion highlights the importance of understanding cancer as a complex interplay of genetics, environment, and evolutionary biology, encouraging proactive lifestyle changes to mitigate cancer risk.
