"The current idea that cancer is a genetic disease is based on ideology, not on the science any longer,"

Thank you to Wejolyn for the above tweet.
3:58. And that has to do largely with the misunderstanding of what the nature underlying mechanism is for the disease. And as I said, it's a metabolic disease that's driven by two fuels: the sugar glucose and the amino acid, glutamine. And these two fuels are the ones that drive the dysregulated cell growth, which is ultimately the definition of cancer. So when people say, "What is cancer?" It's dysregulated cell growth, cell division out of control.
What is it driven by? It's driven by a form of energy that doesn't require oxygen. Oh yeah, well, what doesn't require oxygen? Fermentation mechanisms don't require oxygen. What are these fuels? These fuels are the sugar glucose, glutamine. Well, that seems simple. How come nobody's targeting these fuels to manage cancer? Because they think it's a genetic disease not a metabolic disease.
