Cancer
Cancer has typically been considered a disease of proliferation. But Professor Thomas Seyfried of Boston College has long been a proponent of Otto Warburg’s work in the 1930s declaring that cancer originates from dysfunctional cellular respiration. Dr. Seyfried wrote a book: Cancer as a Metabolic Disease, which outlines the scientific data that supports that cancer is a disease of the mitochondria, and it can be managed by switching the fuel sources of the cell (glucose and glutamine) to ketone bodies.
We believe that the etiology of the success of the Press Pulse Protocol is the lowering of deuterium and increasing Molecular Hydrogen to improve mitochondrial function. Additionally, there are a number of studies that show promise in increasing the body’s natural immune devices to attack foreign cells in order to eradicate disease.
Improving Mitochondrial Function
Mitochondria are the “powerhouses” of cells, generating the energy currency (ATP) needed for the cell through cellular respiration. Changes in mitochondria can lead to changes in energy metabolism and sometimes reprogram the cell nucleus. This may contribute to drug resistance, cell proliferation and growth, as well as metastasis. Cancer cells can even steal mitochondria from T cells to strengthen themselves and evade the immune system.
Mitochondrial function can be enhanced by physical activity (resistance training and interval training), dietary choices and lifestyle factors (prioritizing sleep and managing stress).
Liquid Blood Biopsy
A liquid blood biopsy is a non-invasive blood test that analyzes tumor material such as circulating cancer stem cells, cancer cells, DNA or RNA fragments, proteins or exosomes in bodily fluids to detect cancer. Even when there is No Evidence of Disease (NED), there is almost always Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) still present. We believe that with a variety of supplements, dietary and lifestyle changes, CTC level and therefore cancer can be managed as a chronic disease.
