Thomas argues that the war on cancer, launched over 50 years ago, has failed to make significant strides in combatting the disease due to a fundamental misunderstanding of its origins.</p><p><br></p><p>With scientific clarity, Dr. Seager explains:</p><p>🔬the theory of cancer as a metabolic disease, beginning with defects in mitochondrial DNA, rather than the previously believed nuclear DNA</p><p>🍯 how glucose metabolism plays a crucial role in cancer growth</p><p>💧 ketosis and cold exposure therapies in inhibiting tumour growth</p><p>🏆 inspiring case studies using cold water to combat cancer (see episode with Dean Hall)</p><p>⚠️ the limitations of traditional cancer treatments (chemotherapy and radiation) and the need for more research and openness towards alternative and/or adjunct therapies focused on metabolic health, mitochondrial function, and lifestyle choices.</p><p><br></p><p>If you know of someone with cancer at the moment, share this with them. Or better yet, read the papers and books mentioned below and entertain the possibility that there may be additional things you can do to revolutionise their cancer care and improve the prognosis for a loved one. Surely that's worth a read.</p><p><br></p><p>Find Thomas:</p><p><a href=\" https://seagertp.substack.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Substack</a></p><p>Twitter &amp; Instagram:  @seagertp  </p><p><a href=\"thomas.seager@asu.edu\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Email</a></p><p><br></p><p>Mentioned in this episode:</p><p>Book: <a href=\"https://www.morozkoforge.com/product-page/uncommon-cold-the-science-experience-of-cold-plunge-therapy\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Uncommon Cold</a> by Thomas Seager</p><p><a href=\"https://www.morozkoforge.com/ice-bath-science/categories/cancer-cold-water-therapy \" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Ice Bath and Cancer Science</a></p><p>Study - <a href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3941741/ \" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Cancer as a metabolic disease: implications for novel therapeutics</a></p><p>Study - <a href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8467939/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Can the Mitochondrial Metabolic Theory Explain Better the Origin and Management of Cancer than Can the Somatic Mutation Theory?</a></p><p>Book - <a href=\"https://www.amazon.co.uk/Revised-Transcripts-metabolic-Management-Prevention-ebook/dp/B0DBZVCY9T/?_encoding=UTF8&amp;pd_rd_w=ZxPxy&amp;content-id=amzn1.sym.b8016711-8133-478a-b1e7-641503b29ea2&amp;pf_rd_p=b8016711-8133-478a-b1e7-641503b29ea2&amp;pf_rd_r=261-6263702-5221836&amp;pd_rd_wg=orPUr&amp;pd_rd_r=c71ba0c6-6104-4715-b1e1-d450011bf953&amp;ref_=aufs_ap_sc_dsk \" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Cancer As A Metabolic Disease</a> by Thomas Seyfried</p><p>Study - <a href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9365697/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Brown-fat-mediated tumour suppression by cold-altered global metabolism</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.05.07.539748v1.full\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">DNA repair and anti-cancer mechanisms in the longest-living mammal: the bowhead whale</a></p><p><br></p><p>Want to watch this on video? <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDpVgBgbtgoNBz3sRQauH5w\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Subscribe on YouTube</strong></a></p><p><strong>Instagram</strong> <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/degrees_of_health/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">&nbsp;@degreesofhealth&nbsp;</a></p><p><strong>Tik Tok </strong>@degrees_of_health</p><p><a href=\"https://www.canva.com/design/DAF6uea0cwE/S6IFQR7g0IoRiQiRkAIDyA/view?utm_content=DAF6uea0cwE&amp;utm_campaign=designshare&amp;utm_medium=link&amp;utm_source=viewer\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Disclaimer</a></p>","author_name":"Benjamin Hopkins"}
