Summary:
"A masterful synchronization of history and cutting-edge science shines new light on humanities darkest diagnosis. In the wake of the
Cancer
Genome Atlas project'
s
failure to provide a legible roadmap to a cure for
cancer
, science writer Travis Christofferson illuminates a promising blend of old and new perspectives on the disease. The story of
cancer
's proposed
metabolic
origin from the vaunted halls of the German scientific golden age to modern laboratories around the world. A journey through time and science that results in an unlikely connecting of the dots with profound therapeutic implications. A rich narrative of humanity'
s
struggle to understand the cellular events that conspire to form malignancy, it reads like a detective novel, full of twists and cover-ups, blind-alleys and striking moments of discovery by men and women with uncommon vision, grit, and fortitude. Christofferson arrives at a conclusion that challenges everything we thought we knew about the disease, suggesting the reason for the failed war against
cancer
stems from a flawed paradigm that categorizes
cancer
as a genetic disease. For anyone affected by this terrifying disease and the physicians who struggle to treat it, this book provides a fresh and hopeful perspective. It explores the new and exciting non-toxic therapies born from the emerging
metabolic
theory
of
cancer
. These therapies may
one
day prove to be a turning point in the struggle against our ancient enemy. We are shown
how
the
metabolic
theory
redraws the battle map, directing researchers to approach
cancer
treatment from a different angle, framing it more like a gentle rehabilitation rather than all-out combat. In a sharp departure from the current "targeted" revolution occurring in
cancer
pharmaceuticals, the
metabolic
therapies have the potential to treat all types of
cancer
because they exploit the
one
weakness that is common to every
cancer
cell: dysfunctional metabolism. With contributions from Thomas Seyfried, PhD, author of
Cancer
as a
Metabolic
Disease; Miriam Kalamian, EdM, MS, CNS, author of The Ketogenic Diet for
Cancer
; and Beth Zupec Kania consultant nutritionist of The Charlie Foundation"--Provided by publisher.
