1
00:00:03,839 --> 00:00:10,080
okay let me share my screen here
2
00:00:06,878 --> 00:00:14,959
okay go to the first slide
3
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:14,960
uh want to get this thing together
4
00:00:15,199 --> 00:00:19,038
okay
5
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:19,039
um
6
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:23,920
i think uh i might i should be unmuted
7
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:26,399
right yep you're muted and everything
8
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:27,840
looks good on our end uh okay let me uh
9
00:00:26,399 --> 00:00:29,439
go back here
10
00:00:27,839 --> 00:00:31,118
um
11
00:00:29,439 --> 00:00:33,119
let me get rid of that thing all right
12
00:00:31,118 --> 00:00:34,558
great uh well thanks uh thanks for the
13
00:00:33,119 --> 00:00:36,879
introduction
14
00:00:34,558 --> 00:00:40,558
uh it's nice to be here
15
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:42,879
uh today to give you uh an overview
16
00:00:40,558 --> 00:00:45,199
of our research on cancer as a metabolic
17
00:00:42,878 --> 00:00:46,718
disease and
18
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,719
the information
19
00:00:46,719 --> 00:00:50,640
on this will be will have major
20
00:00:48,719 --> 00:00:51,679
implications for how we approach and
21
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,359
manage
22
00:00:51,679 --> 00:00:55,840
uh the disease
23
00:00:53,359 --> 00:00:55,839
so let me
24
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,740
trying to move this thing forward here
25
00:01:00,399 --> 00:01:02,079
uh
26
00:01:00,740 --> 00:01:04,239
[Music]
27
00:01:02,079 --> 00:01:06,478
i'm not sure
28
00:01:04,239 --> 00:01:06,478
uh
29
00:01:07,118 --> 00:01:11,519
you may have to um so try um and then
30
00:01:10,079 --> 00:01:12,879
your slideshow and share it again one
31
00:01:11,519 --> 00:01:13,920
more time
32
00:01:12,879 --> 00:01:15,438
uh
33
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:18,079
let's see
34
00:01:15,438 --> 00:01:21,359
share it again
35
00:01:18,079 --> 00:01:24,319
no exit exit um your slideshow
36
00:01:21,359 --> 00:01:25,560
so right click on your slideshow
37
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:28,679
and hit and
38
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,680
[Music]
39
00:01:28,799 --> 00:01:33,439
yeah
40
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:36,320
okay and then start one more time
41
00:01:33,438 --> 00:01:40,399
okay let's see here if it works
42
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:43,199
i wasn't able to move forward okay share
43
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:45,040
okay try moving forward now
44
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,320
all right
45
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,640
still
46
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:51,919
still a little uh
47
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:53,280
not able to move forward here let's see
48
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,680
because it was moving forward just a
49
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:57,359
minute ago i don't know here we go all
50
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,320
right i have to hit the the button on
51
00:01:57,359 --> 00:02:00,399
the bottom
52
00:01:58,319 --> 00:02:02,959
okay it should be fine yeah i'll hit the
53
00:02:00,399 --> 00:02:05,680
button not the one on my computer uh my
54
00:02:02,959 --> 00:02:07,280
my keypad here all right so so anyway i
55
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:10,560
mean getting back
56
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:15,120
i gave you the title and now um
57
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:17,439
this this first or this next slide here
58
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:19,680
shows the data now i collect this data
59
00:02:17,439 --> 00:02:22,000
from this is all published information
60
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,439
from the american cancer society every
61
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,680
year
62
00:02:23,439 --> 00:02:28,000
american cancer society comes out with
63
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,200
their so-called statistics cancer
64
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:32,800
statistics
65
00:02:29,199 --> 00:02:35,199
and anyone can go back and
66
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:38,719
and get these dr siegel
67
00:02:35,199 --> 00:02:40,479
uh is the most recent person cataloging
68
00:02:38,719 --> 00:02:42,318
the number of cases
69
00:02:40,479 --> 00:02:44,399
and deaths per year
70
00:02:42,318 --> 00:02:47,518
um and then to figure out debts per day
71
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,879
you simply divide debts per year by 365
72
00:02:47,519 --> 00:02:50,080
and you have an estimate
73
00:02:48,878 --> 00:02:51,840
of
74
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,440
how many people are dying each day from
75
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:57,840
cancer so
76
00:02:53,439 --> 00:02:58,719
these are the numbers from 2013 to 2021
77
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,959
um
78
00:02:58,719 --> 00:03:02,719
and you can see there's a four point uh
79
00:03:00,959 --> 00:03:04,640
well twelve percent increase in new
80
00:03:02,719 --> 00:03:07,199
cases but also about a
81
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,079
4.6 percent increase in deaths per day
82
00:03:07,199 --> 00:03:10,238
and
83
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:12,000
deaths per uh year
84
00:03:10,239 --> 00:03:14,158
which is parallel to the
85
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,878
approximate increase in the population
86
00:03:14,158 --> 00:03:20,000
u.s population size during these same
87
00:03:16,878 --> 00:03:22,158
over the same period so so the bottom
88
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,479
line here is that we're not making any
89
00:03:22,158 --> 00:03:26,878
major drop um
90
00:03:24,479 --> 00:03:28,719
you know it's it's stagnating
91
00:03:26,878 --> 00:03:30,560
uh you know you hear about all this
92
00:03:28,719 --> 00:03:32,878
stuff and i'll talk about some of the
93
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:34,959
stuff that we hear about on tv and all
94
00:03:32,878 --> 00:03:36,000
these kinds of things all the great
95
00:03:34,959 --> 00:03:37,598
progress
96
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:40,799
that we are making
97
00:03:37,598 --> 00:03:42,719
in keeping people alive longer happier
98
00:03:40,799 --> 00:03:45,200
and all this kind of stuff you hear
99
00:03:42,719 --> 00:03:49,039
advertised on television but when you
100
00:03:45,199 --> 00:03:51,199
look at at the uh statistics
101
00:03:49,039 --> 00:03:53,598
um we don't see that
102
00:03:51,199 --> 00:03:56,959
okay we don't see major drops it's just
103
00:03:53,598 --> 00:03:59,039
a continual gradual increase
104
00:03:56,959 --> 00:04:01,519
year in and year out
105
00:03:59,039 --> 00:04:02,639
so um
106
00:04:01,519 --> 00:04:04,080
uh
107
00:04:02,639 --> 00:04:06,559
and and this is a paper that was
108
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:09,200
published a couple of years ago uh that
109
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:12,158
evaluated all the drugs
110
00:04:09,199 --> 00:04:14,158
that have been fda approved 92 different
111
00:04:12,158 --> 00:04:17,358
drugs for cancer that have been approved
112
00:04:14,158 --> 00:04:18,319
from 2000 to 2016.
113
00:04:17,358 --> 00:04:21,358
um
114
00:04:18,319 --> 00:04:23,918
and you know it's very interesting
115
00:04:21,358 --> 00:04:25,599
these novel cancer therapies they are
116
00:04:23,918 --> 00:04:28,560
associated with
117
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:31,280
substantial tumor responses
118
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:35,040
but the median overall survival
119
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:36,559
was increased by only about 2.4 months
120
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,080
this is very interesting so in other
121
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,839
words when you take these drugs it looks
122
00:04:38,079 --> 00:04:40,879
like your tumor is responding but your
123
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:44,000
overall
124
00:04:40,879 --> 00:04:46,319
survival is not that greatly increased
125
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,680
and many of these drugs are extremely
126
00:04:46,319 --> 00:04:48,959
expensive
127
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,680
and
128
00:04:48,959 --> 00:04:54,079
not only are they associated with
129
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,840
physical toxicities but they can also be
130
00:04:54,079 --> 00:04:58,079
associated with
131
00:04:55,839 --> 00:05:00,159
financial toxicity and trying to pay for
132
00:04:58,079 --> 00:05:02,639
them now you wouldn't mind paying the
133
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:04,639
money if if you could get a substantial
134
00:05:02,639 --> 00:05:07,840
impact in quality of life and overall
135
00:05:04,639 --> 00:05:09,759
survival but that's not the case
136
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:12,239
so the question we ask ourselves is why
137
00:05:09,759 --> 00:05:15,520
are we not making the kind of progress
138
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:18,160
in managing cancer that we should be
139
00:05:15,519 --> 00:05:20,560
making considering the enormous
140
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,600
monies that have been devoted to this
141
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,439
disease
142
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,439
through not only federal research
143
00:05:23,439 --> 00:05:27,439
funding but also through all of these
144
00:05:25,439 --> 00:05:30,800
private foundations
145
00:05:27,439 --> 00:05:32,800
so uh we'll we'll address that um
146
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:35,199
you know and and here's here's a paper
147
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,720
that was published some years ago a
148
00:05:35,199 --> 00:05:39,360
couple of years ago
149
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:42,160
uh hyper progressive disease in patients
150
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:45,600
with advanced non-small cell cancer
151
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:47,439
treated with pd1 slash pdl1 inhibitors
152
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:51,120
the the names of these you hear on tv
153
00:05:47,439 --> 00:05:53,439
this is your opdivo and kutruda uh and
154
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:57,280
these are the names of the of the pd1
155
00:05:53,439 --> 00:05:58,240
pd1 and pdl1 drugs now it's interesting
156
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,839
um
157
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:02,639
there are some and you can see the poor
158
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:04,959
overall survival that you have here for
159
00:06:02,639 --> 00:06:06,478
uh lung cancer you know you're up to 20
160
00:06:04,959 --> 00:06:08,478
for two years as the most you can see
161
00:06:06,478 --> 00:06:11,519
the patients start 138.
162
00:06:08,478 --> 00:06:14,719
um 138 patients and you can see how fast
163
00:06:11,519 --> 00:06:16,719
they drop off um now the
164
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,759
standard of care the toxic drugs that
165
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,720
they use
166
00:06:17,759 --> 00:06:19,919
um
167
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,720
you know you don't get a really good
168
00:06:19,918 --> 00:06:24,240
long-term survival for for lung cancer
169
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:27,039
but with um
170
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:30,319
uh opdivo and protruding you can get
171
00:06:27,038 --> 00:06:32,800
some patients can in fact do do well
172
00:06:30,319 --> 00:06:35,280
um the majority of pa of patients don't
173
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:37,199
show any any therapeutic benefit but
174
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:39,918
what's most disturbing
175
00:06:37,199 --> 00:06:41,600
is that there is a about 15 to 16
176
00:06:39,918 --> 00:06:44,959
percent of the patients treated with
177
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:47,759
these drugs actually die much faster
178
00:06:44,959 --> 00:06:49,680
it's called hyper progressive disease
179
00:06:47,759 --> 00:06:51,919
and this is seen now more and more
180
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,680
papers are coming out not only for lung
181
00:06:51,918 --> 00:06:55,680
cancer but for for a variety of
182
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:58,879
different cancers the treatments
183
00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:00,720
themselves accelerate the speed with
184
00:06:58,879 --> 00:07:04,000
which the patients die
185
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:06,400
and you often don't hear that when uh
186
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,079
when these drugs are are are discussed
187
00:07:06,399 --> 00:07:10,079
but anyway this there's a number of this
188
00:07:08,079 --> 00:07:13,120
is a paper you can read it uh all the
189
00:07:10,079 --> 00:07:15,120
references are here from jama oncology
190
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:17,598
that discuss this and there's many many
191
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:20,399
more papers that discuss this concept of
192
00:07:17,598 --> 00:07:21,759
hyper progressive disease
193
00:07:20,399 --> 00:07:23,439
right so
194
00:07:21,759 --> 00:07:25,120
so um
195
00:07:23,439 --> 00:07:28,399
now what's the problem why are we not
196
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:31,360
making any progress major progress
197
00:07:28,399 --> 00:07:33,679
in cancer management and that's because
198
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:36,000
we have misunderstood the nature of of
199
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:38,400
what cancer actually is
200
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:40,720
so this paper we just recently published
201
00:07:38,399 --> 00:07:43,359
with my colleague dr christos
202
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,400
shinopoulos from semmelweis university
203
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:47,759
in hungary
204
00:07:44,399 --> 00:07:50,478
world expert on mitochondria can the
205
00:07:47,759 --> 00:07:52,879
mitochondrial metabolic theory
206
00:07:50,478 --> 00:07:55,918
explain better the origin and management
207
00:07:52,879 --> 00:07:57,759
of cancer than can the somatic mutation
208
00:07:55,918 --> 00:08:00,159
theory and i'm gonna i'll be discussing
209
00:07:57,759 --> 00:08:03,520
these concepts uh so that you have a
210
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:04,560
clear idea about both of these of these
211
00:08:03,519 --> 00:08:08,240
theories
212
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:11,598
so what causes a growth regulated normal
213
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:13,759
cell to become a growth dysregulated
214
00:08:11,598 --> 00:08:16,560
cancer cell so this
215
00:08:13,759 --> 00:08:18,560
cartoon here of a of a cell
216
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:21,918
shows you the organelles this is the
217
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:25,038
nucleus uh this large section here
218
00:08:21,918 --> 00:08:26,478
um endoplasmic reticulum golgi apparatus
219
00:08:25,038 --> 00:08:29,038
all these different organelles but the
220
00:08:26,478 --> 00:08:30,639
organelle the mitochondrion here
221
00:08:29,038 --> 00:08:33,120
this is a cross-section it's like a
222
00:08:30,639 --> 00:08:35,839
spaghetti network through the cytoplasm
223
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:38,000
this is the organelle the mitochondrion
224
00:08:35,839 --> 00:08:41,120
that's responsible for the generation of
225
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:42,399
most of the energy in our cells uh we
226
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:45,440
breathe air
227
00:08:42,399 --> 00:08:47,839
we get we call oxidative respiration and
228
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,720
the uh and the oxygen in the air that we
229
00:08:47,839 --> 00:08:51,440
breathe
230
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,839
uh serves as an acceptor of electrons to
231
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:56,320
generate
232
00:08:52,839 --> 00:09:00,000
atp adenosine triphosphate which is the
233
00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:02,480
gold currency for energy without atp
234
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:05,600
nothing in our lives in our brain in our
235
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:09,360
any of our organs can work without atp
236
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:10,800
atp is life atp is energy without atp
237
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,800
nothing can grow
238
00:09:10,799 --> 00:09:14,879
so the atp in our cells was largely
239
00:09:12,799 --> 00:09:16,559
produced in this organelle the
240
00:09:14,879 --> 00:09:19,519
mitochondria
241
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:21,278
mitochondrial respiratory damage is the
242
00:09:19,519 --> 00:09:22,959
origin of cancer and i'll present the
243
00:09:21,278 --> 00:09:25,200
evidence for this
244
00:09:22,958 --> 00:09:26,879
so the uh uh
245
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,640
what happens this organelle and i'll
246
00:09:26,879 --> 00:09:30,559
show you how it can become damaged and
247
00:09:28,639 --> 00:09:33,120
once it becomes damaged it releases
248
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:36,479
these reactive radicals that cause the
249
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:38,320
mutations in the nucleus so the somatic
250
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,720
dna mutations
251
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:43,040
and most other abnormalities
252
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:46,800
seen in cancer cells
253
00:09:43,039 --> 00:09:50,399
are downstream effects of mitochondrial
254
00:09:46,799 --> 00:09:51,759
respiratory damage so the mutations
255
00:09:50,399 --> 00:09:52,639
and the cancer and i'll show you why
256
00:09:51,759 --> 00:09:54,480
cancer
257
00:09:52,639 --> 00:09:57,600
is not a genetic disease all of these
258
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:59,839
mutations that people seem to focus on
259
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,440
um are all downstream effects they're
260
00:09:59,839 --> 00:10:02,959
not the cause they're the effects the
261
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:05,040
cause of cancer
262
00:10:02,958 --> 00:10:08,000
is a mitochondrial disruption of
263
00:10:05,039 --> 00:10:11,199
oxidative phosphorylation respiration
264
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:14,159
they mutations are effects not causes
265
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:16,879
this is this is underlies the the reason
266
00:10:14,159 --> 00:10:20,000
why we're not making any major advances
267
00:10:16,879 --> 00:10:21,278
in cancer because the field focuses on
268
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,600
mutations
269
00:10:21,278 --> 00:10:26,159
and if you focus on a downstream effect
270
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,680
as as as your primary attention you're
271
00:10:26,159 --> 00:10:29,039
not going to make the advances that you
272
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,719
should make and i'll show you the
273
00:10:29,039 --> 00:10:34,000
evidence for that
274
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:37,680
so in order to you have to understand
275
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:39,360
scientific theories these theories um
276
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:42,159
are simply an attempt to explain the
277
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:44,240
facts of nature we as a as a species we
278
00:10:42,159 --> 00:10:47,439
examine things we look at things and
279
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:49,759
then we try to explain things of nature
280
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:53,200
in the context of a theory
281
00:10:49,759 --> 00:10:56,000
so reality is based on replicated facts
282
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:58,879
whereas the interpretation of the facts
283
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:01,360
is based on a credible theory so if we
284
00:10:58,879 --> 00:11:03,759
go back in history and we can look at
285
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:07,039
different uh theories to explain the
286
00:11:03,759 --> 00:11:10,078
phenomenon of nature so the heliocentric
287
00:11:07,039 --> 00:11:11,120
theory that that the heliocentric theory
288
00:11:10,078 --> 00:11:13,919
is where
289
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:16,560
the sun is the center of the solar
290
00:11:13,919 --> 00:11:18,559
system this could uh theory could
291
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:20,239
explain better the movements of the
292
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:23,518
celestial bodies than could the
293
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:25,919
geocentric theory the geocentric theory
294
00:11:23,519 --> 00:11:29,120
stated that the uh earth was the center
295
00:11:25,919 --> 00:11:31,679
of the solar system so it was copernicus
296
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:34,959
galileo and kepler
297
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:36,799
that uh identified the heliocentric
298
00:11:34,958 --> 00:11:39,199
theory and most people accept that today
299
00:11:36,799 --> 00:11:42,479
we all know that the uh earth revolves
300
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:43,600
around the sun but for centuries um
301
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:48,000
talemy
302
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:50,879
uh uh uh the scientists of of of of of
303
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:53,120
of of centuries ago uh said no no the
304
00:11:50,879 --> 00:11:55,679
earth was the center of the uh of
305
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:58,720
of the universe and you ha uh you have
306
00:11:55,679 --> 00:12:01,838
to recognize that guillermo bruno
307
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:04,720
an italian uh was burned at the stake
308
00:12:01,839 --> 00:12:07,839
for us trying to support uh the
309
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:10,560
copernican galileo theory so you have to
310
00:12:07,839 --> 00:12:13,600
realize that challenging challenging
311
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:16,239
these theories can can sometimes
312
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:18,879
be met with uh severe penalties
313
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:21,200
the germ theory of louis pasteur could
314
00:12:18,879 --> 00:12:22,399
explain better the origin of contagious
315
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:25,759
diseases
316
00:12:22,399 --> 00:12:28,159
than could the uh miasma or bad air
317
00:12:25,759 --> 00:12:31,278
theory of of galen
318
00:12:28,159 --> 00:12:33,120
so um uh we now know germs germs cause
319
00:12:31,278 --> 00:12:35,360
contagious diseases these could be
320
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:37,360
viruses bacteria or whatever but for
321
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:39,440
many centuries it was thought to be bad
322
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,639
air
323
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:43,760
the
324
00:12:40,639 --> 00:12:46,320
darwin wallace theory of evolution by
325
00:12:43,759 --> 00:12:48,799
natural selection could explain better
326
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:51,278
the origin of species than could the
327
00:12:48,799 --> 00:12:53,278
theory of special creation and nothing
328
00:12:51,278 --> 00:12:55,519
in biology makes sense except in the
329
00:12:53,278 --> 00:12:57,360
light of evolution so the question that
330
00:12:55,519 --> 00:12:59,759
i'm going to address today
331
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:02,320
is can the mitochondrial metabolic
332
00:12:59,759 --> 00:13:05,360
theory explain better the origin and
333
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:07,760
management of cancer than can the
334
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:10,000
somatic mutation theory so this is what
335
00:13:07,759 --> 00:13:12,240
we're going to be focusing on today
336
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:14,399
uh the concept of cancer is a genetic
337
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:17,360
disease or is cancer a mitochondrial
338
00:13:14,399 --> 00:13:19,360
metabolic disease
339
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,720
all right so right now today in our
340
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,720
world
341
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,959
the current dogma is that cancer is a
342
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,560
genetic disease
343
00:13:24,958 --> 00:13:29,278
this paper by
344
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:31,039
dr hanahan and weinberg is the most
345
00:13:29,278 --> 00:13:34,480
highly cited paper in all of the
346
00:13:31,039 --> 00:13:36,319
biological literature over 75 000 times
347
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:39,199
this paper has been cited in all these
348
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:41,278
various research uh papers cancer cells
349
00:13:39,198 --> 00:13:43,838
carry the oncogenic and tumor suppressor
350
00:13:41,278 --> 00:13:45,759
mutations that define cancer as a
351
00:13:43,839 --> 00:13:48,240
genetic disease
352
00:13:45,759 --> 00:13:49,838
and this concept now if you go to
353
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,039
freshman biology
354
00:13:49,839 --> 00:13:52,560
in college
355
00:13:51,039 --> 00:13:54,480
medical school
356
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:56,319
this is what is discussed cancer is a
357
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,519
genetic disease there is no other
358
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,760
discussion
359
00:13:57,519 --> 00:14:00,959
of alternative
360
00:13:59,759 --> 00:14:03,039
theories
361
00:14:00,958 --> 00:14:05,278
on cancer and everybody's looking for
362
00:14:03,039 --> 00:14:06,719
cancer mutations and all this kind of
363
00:14:05,278 --> 00:14:08,799
kind of things that you read about and
364
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:11,839
hear about and it's also supported by
365
00:14:08,799 --> 00:14:14,479
the national cancer institute
366
00:14:11,839 --> 00:14:17,199
how cancer arises this is if you go on
367
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:18,639
to the national cancer institute
368
00:14:17,198 --> 00:14:19,759
website
369
00:14:18,639 --> 00:14:22,399
web page
370
00:14:19,759 --> 00:14:25,278
how cancer arises it says right here
371
00:14:22,399 --> 00:14:27,759
cancer is a genetic disease that it is
372
00:14:25,278 --> 00:14:30,240
caused by changes in genes that control
373
00:14:27,759 --> 00:14:32,240
the way our cells function especially
374
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:34,799
how they grow and divide
375
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:36,720
cancer is caused by certain changes to
376
00:14:34,799 --> 00:14:39,039
genes the basic physical units of
377
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:41,278
inheritance genes are arranged in long
378
00:14:39,039 --> 00:14:44,000
strands and dna called chromosomes so
379
00:14:41,278 --> 00:14:46,480
the national cancer institute a branch
380
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:48,879
of the national institutes of health
381
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:51,199
clearly says that cancer is a genetic
382
00:14:48,879 --> 00:14:53,679
disease so obviously if all the medical
383
00:14:51,198 --> 00:14:55,919
schools and all the universities in the
384
00:14:53,679 --> 00:14:57,838
classrooms and the national cancer
385
00:14:55,919 --> 00:14:59,439
institute are saying the same thing this
386
00:14:57,839 --> 00:15:01,680
becomes a dogma it becomes an
387
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,560
irrefutable truth that no one begins to
388
00:15:01,679 --> 00:15:04,319
question
389
00:15:02,559 --> 00:15:06,159
so this is uh
390
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:08,879
the importance of what we're looking at
391
00:15:06,159 --> 00:15:10,559
here and then you know the hallmarks of
392
00:15:08,879 --> 00:15:12,320
cancer
393
00:15:10,559 --> 00:15:15,119
this was put out by by hannah and
394
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:17,440
weinberg uh sustaining proliferative
395
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,879
signaling okay evading growth
396
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:21,920
suppressors and i'll go into a little
397
00:15:18,879 --> 00:15:24,399
bit more of this uh activating invasion
398
00:15:21,919 --> 00:15:28,159
and metastasis i'll be speaking about
399
00:15:24,399 --> 00:15:30,720
this enabling replicative immortality
400
00:15:28,159 --> 00:15:32,958
inducing angiogenesis which is abnormal
401
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:36,000
blood vessel growth in the tumors and
402
00:15:32,958 --> 00:15:37,278
the tumor tissue and resisting
403
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,159
cell death
404
00:15:37,278 --> 00:15:41,039
so
405
00:15:38,159 --> 00:15:43,600
all of this is controlled by gene
406
00:15:41,039 --> 00:15:45,278
mutations according to the somatic
407
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:47,680
mutation there and it's also important
408
00:15:45,278 --> 00:15:49,919
to recognize these are random random
409
00:15:47,679 --> 00:15:51,198
gene mutations are controlling all these
410
00:15:49,919 --> 00:15:53,919
hallmarks
411
00:15:51,198 --> 00:15:56,479
and then to solidify the dogmatic view
412
00:15:53,919 --> 00:15:57,679
of the somatic mutation theory we
413
00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:01,039
present
414
00:15:57,679 --> 00:16:03,359
these little figures and diagrams
415
00:16:01,039 --> 00:16:04,799
a car speeding out of control because it
416
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:07,440
has genes
417
00:16:04,799 --> 00:16:08,399
that accelerate the rate of cell
418
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,639
division
419
00:16:08,399 --> 00:16:12,240
and we have mutations in tumor
420
00:16:10,639 --> 00:16:15,039
suppressor genes in other words you
421
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:16,480
cannot stop cell division out of control
422
00:16:15,039 --> 00:16:18,719
and people if you want to know what
423
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:21,839
cancer is people say what is cancer the
424
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:24,720
definition of cancer is cell division
425
00:16:21,839 --> 00:16:27,360
out of control okay cell division out of
426
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:29,839
control is the definition of cancer
427
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:31,120
according to the somatic mutation theory
428
00:16:29,839 --> 00:16:32,000
these are
429
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:35,679
uh
430
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:38,240
uh mutations in proto-oncogenes
431
00:16:35,679 --> 00:16:40,319
or tumor suppressor genes
432
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,360
this is the definition and then here's
433
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,320
another
434
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:45,278
um
435
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:46,399
image that is often used in biology
436
00:16:45,278 --> 00:16:49,919
textbooks
437
00:16:46,399 --> 00:16:51,919
uh the accumulation of random somatic
438
00:16:49,919 --> 00:16:54,639
mutations cause
439
00:16:51,919 --> 00:16:57,120
the development of a cancer cell so a
440
00:16:54,639 --> 00:16:59,120
normal cell is here then you collect one
441
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:00,799
two three four i don't know it could be
442
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,959
hundreds of mutations one meter nobody
443
00:17:00,799 --> 00:17:04,879
nobody really knows and and then you
444
00:17:02,958 --> 00:17:08,159
move this cell from normal growth
445
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:10,799
regulation to a dysmorphic looking cell
446
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:13,038
that is uh dysregulated in cell growth
447
00:17:10,798 --> 00:17:15,279
and here's a comment from dr
448
00:17:13,038 --> 00:17:18,160
vogelstein from the na from a johns
449
00:17:15,279 --> 00:17:20,639
hopkins medical school we now know
450
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:22,480
precisely what causes cancer a
451
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:25,280
sequential series
452
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:27,919
of alterations in well-defined
453
00:17:25,279 --> 00:17:29,440
driver genes okay so you have a lot of
454
00:17:27,919 --> 00:17:32,000
different kinds of mutations that you
455
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:34,160
see in cancer cells but only the driver
456
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:37,599
genes are the most important
457
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:41,519
for driving the dysregulated growth uh
458
00:17:37,599 --> 00:17:42,399
uh of of of these cells
459
00:17:41,519 --> 00:17:44,480
here
460
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:46,559
and as a consequence you hear about you
461
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:49,759
know personalized therapy precision
462
00:17:46,558 --> 00:17:53,119
medicine these are the terms that have
463
00:17:49,759 --> 00:17:56,640
been derived from uh the view of cancer
464
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:59,839
as a genetic disease so we take biopsy
465
00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:02,320
material from tissue and then we look uh
466
00:17:59,839 --> 00:18:05,519
this individual here is looking at
467
00:18:02,319 --> 00:18:07,918
cancer cells from a biopsy material of
468
00:18:05,519 --> 00:18:10,000
of a person's breast tissue
469
00:18:07,919 --> 00:18:13,038
and looking for
470
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:16,079
extra copies of a particular gene
471
00:18:13,038 --> 00:18:18,558
um and that information then will tell
472
00:18:16,079 --> 00:18:21,759
you whether or not you should do this or
473
00:18:18,558 --> 00:18:23,519
that for diagnosis and possible therapy
474
00:18:21,759 --> 00:18:27,359
and here's the situations observer
475
00:18:23,519 --> 00:18:28,480
effect when you take a biopsy of a
476
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:31,839
particular
477
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:35,120
tissue you have you run the possibility
478
00:18:31,839 --> 00:18:37,119
of creating inflammatory oncotaxis and
479
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:39,279
what that means is that you disturb the
480
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:42,639
micro environment of the tissue
481
00:18:39,279 --> 00:18:46,000
which can increase the risk of spreading
482
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:48,240
the tumor cells uh uh further through
483
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:50,400
the tissue or even throughout the body
484
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:53,679
we call that an observer effect it's as
485
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:55,759
if you were to approach a wasp hive
486
00:18:53,679 --> 00:18:58,480
uh in the middle of the day and stick it
487
00:18:55,759 --> 00:19:00,319
there's a possibility that the wasps
488
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:03,519
will come out of the hive and sting you
489
00:19:00,319 --> 00:19:06,240
all right so you've uh uh you've changed
490
00:19:03,519 --> 00:19:09,038
the environment and and this now we now
491
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:11,359
know can also uh contribute to the
492
00:19:09,038 --> 00:19:13,599
spread uh it's a risk factor for the
493
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:16,079
spread of some cancer something to keep
494
00:19:13,599 --> 00:19:16,079
in mind
495
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:20,720
okay so we're gonna challenge the
496
00:19:18,079 --> 00:19:24,558
somatic mutation theory with uh
497
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:25,839
significant information that seems to be
498
00:19:24,558 --> 00:19:28,000
either
499
00:19:25,839 --> 00:19:28,000
not
500
00:19:29,679 --> 00:19:33,919
or
501
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:37,279
don't hear it so these are the the the
502
00:19:33,919 --> 00:19:38,720
nico monkeys um uh and uh you know they
503
00:19:37,279 --> 00:19:42,399
don't want they when you come up with a
504
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:43,519
new idea challenging a dogmatic view uh
505
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,720
most people in the field they don't want
506
00:19:43,519 --> 00:19:46,000
to look at the information they don't
507
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:48,400
want to talk about they don't want to
508
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:50,480
hear about it okay this is the kind of
509
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:53,360
basically you ignore it when something
510
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:54,720
is against your your your your dogmatic
511
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:57,279
view on anything
512
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:58,720
uh oftentimes it's it's not possible to
513
00:19:57,279 --> 00:20:01,359
accept this
514
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:02,400
so i'm going to go through with you now
515
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,639
and
516
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:07,679
show evidence published papers
517
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:08,960
uh challenge the somatic mutation theory
518
00:20:07,679 --> 00:20:10,960
of cancer
519
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:12,720
so how did the idea come about that
520
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,720
cancer was a genetic disease in the
521
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:17,919
first place well this
522
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:19,360
scientist theodore bovary in 1914
523
00:20:17,919 --> 00:20:22,080
published a paper
524
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:24,639
uh suggesting the possibility that the
525
00:20:22,079 --> 00:20:26,720
dysregulated growth of cancer cells
526
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:28,320
could be due to abnormalities in
527
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:30,640
chromosomes
528
00:20:28,319 --> 00:20:32,000
the genetic material in the cell however
529
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,280
it was very interesting if you read this
530
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:36,558
paper
531
00:20:33,279 --> 00:20:38,319
bovary uh uh came into this field with
532
00:20:36,558 --> 00:20:39,839
no knowledge of cancer and he was very
533
00:20:38,319 --> 00:20:41,839
apologetic
534
00:20:39,839 --> 00:20:44,319
he said that you know i know nothing
535
00:20:41,839 --> 00:20:46,000
about cancer i just have this idea maybe
536
00:20:44,319 --> 00:20:48,240
it's right maybe it's not right i don't
537
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:50,640
know but let me just write it anyway
538
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:52,558
well the field embraced uh bovary many
539
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:55,679
years later and anointed him as the
540
00:20:52,558 --> 00:20:57,839
founding father of the somatic mutation
541
00:20:55,679 --> 00:20:59,679
theory and i'm sure bobbery would be
542
00:20:57,839 --> 00:21:01,439
very displeased by this because he knew
543
00:20:59,679 --> 00:21:03,519
nothing he was completely ignorant of
544
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,640
cancer he says that he says i'm an
545
00:21:03,519 --> 00:21:06,319
interloper and i don't really know
546
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:08,960
anything about cancer
547
00:21:06,319 --> 00:21:11,918
um and now you know with more and more
548
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:15,038
analysis of tumors we're finding some
549
00:21:11,919 --> 00:21:16,480
not all very very few but they're there
550
00:21:15,038 --> 00:21:17,679
where some cancer cells have no
551
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:20,079
mutations
552
00:21:17,679 --> 00:21:22,000
and um how is it possible now this
553
00:21:20,079 --> 00:21:24,000
doesn't happen a lot most cancers do in
554
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,679
fact have all kinds of mutations and
555
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,839
i'll talk about that but there are some
556
00:21:25,679 --> 00:21:30,559
cancers that don't have any mutations
557
00:21:27,839 --> 00:21:32,399
and they've been looked for and uh you
558
00:21:30,558 --> 00:21:34,079
can't find them so how can you have a
559
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:36,159
disease caused by mutations if there are
560
00:21:34,079 --> 00:21:38,000
some tumors that have no mutations and
561
00:21:36,159 --> 00:21:39,679
this is published and most of the people
562
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,960
in the field either ignore it or don't
563
00:21:39,679 --> 00:21:42,798
discuss it
564
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,319
um now the driver this is new
565
00:21:42,798 --> 00:21:45,759
information over the last couple of
566
00:21:44,319 --> 00:21:47,759
years
567
00:21:45,759 --> 00:21:49,679
cancer driver genes found in normal
568
00:21:47,759 --> 00:21:51,119
cells what does that mean
569
00:21:49,679 --> 00:21:53,600
i was just telling you from the work of
570
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:55,759
vogelstein that the driver genes are the
571
00:21:53,599 --> 00:21:58,000
are the genes that make and drive the
572
00:21:55,759 --> 00:22:00,158
dysregulated cell growth well now with
573
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,279
deep sequencing we're looking at tissues
574
00:22:00,159 --> 00:22:03,679
in people
575
00:22:01,279 --> 00:22:06,399
in all kinds of tissues in normal people
576
00:22:03,679 --> 00:22:07,919
that never develop cancer yet they have
577
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,440
expression of these so-called driver
578
00:22:07,919 --> 00:22:11,840
genes how can you have driver genes in
579
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:13,919
normal tissues that don't form cancer so
580
00:22:11,839 --> 00:22:16,480
there's no discussion about tumors that
581
00:22:13,919 --> 00:22:18,080
have no mutations or normal tissues that
582
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:20,798
have the driver genes that never form
583
00:22:18,079 --> 00:22:22,240
cancer not discussed not but yet it's in
584
00:22:20,798 --> 00:22:24,400
these papers
585
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:26,319
and we know some carcinogens cause do
586
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:28,240
not cause mutations like asbestos
587
00:22:26,319 --> 00:22:32,480
asbestos doesn't cause mutations but
588
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:32,480
asbestos is a powerful carcinogen
589
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:36,960
and then the rarity of cancer in
590
00:22:34,159 --> 00:22:39,200
chimpanzees is very is very perplexing
591
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:41,440
in light of the somatic mutation theory
592
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:43,840
because the chimpanzee and the human
593
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:46,558
arose from a common ancestor
594
00:22:43,839 --> 00:22:49,199
and um they're our closest biological
595
00:22:46,558 --> 00:22:52,079
relatives uh a 98
596
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:53,279
similar in genetic and protein sequence
597
00:22:52,079 --> 00:22:56,158
structure
598
00:22:53,279 --> 00:22:57,759
yet cancer is extremely rare in
599
00:22:56,159 --> 00:22:59,760
chimpanzees
600
00:22:57,759 --> 00:23:02,480
in fact there's never been a documented
601
00:22:59,759 --> 00:23:05,200
case of breast cancer in a female
602
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:07,120
chimpanzee despite the fact that over 30
603
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,400
000 american women each year die from
604
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:10,479
breast cancer
605
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:12,720
so what's going on well it's
606
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:14,880
predominantly diet and lifestyle the
607
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:17,600
chimps are eating
608
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:19,440
the diet and they have a lifestyle uh
609
00:23:17,599 --> 00:23:22,678
very similar to the way it was when they
610
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,679
first emerged
611
00:23:23,919 --> 00:23:28,000
on the other hand have marketed
612
00:23:25,759 --> 00:23:29,599
dramatically from the diet lifestyle
613
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:32,000
that we had when we first emerged as a
614
00:23:29,599 --> 00:23:33,599
species uh there's a non-eugenic origin
615
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,038
of metastatic behavior i'll talk about
616
00:23:33,599 --> 00:23:37,759
i'll talk about that
617
00:23:35,038 --> 00:23:40,000
metastasis is the most
618
00:23:37,759 --> 00:23:41,519
deadly aspect of cancer and now i'm
619
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:44,640
going to talk about the nuclear transfer
620
00:23:41,519 --> 00:23:47,679
experiments uh which are another fact
621
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:49,919
that completely
622
00:23:47,679 --> 00:23:52,240
undermines the somatic mutation theory
623
00:23:49,919 --> 00:23:56,240
of cancer and i as i said before i
624
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:57,839
published this paper in 2015 very highly
625
00:23:56,240 --> 00:24:00,798
uh
626
00:23:57,839 --> 00:24:03,038
cited and acknowledged and read paper
627
00:24:00,798 --> 00:24:05,599
but again it's very difficult pill to
628
00:24:03,038 --> 00:24:07,599
swallow if you think cancer is a genetic
629
00:24:05,599 --> 00:24:09,599
disease and you read this paper and you
630
00:24:07,599 --> 00:24:12,719
look at the repeated evidence
631
00:24:09,599 --> 00:24:15,759
that it cannot be a genetic disease and
632
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:17,759
this is the summary of many replicated
633
00:24:15,759 --> 00:24:20,079
experiments using different kinds of
634
00:24:17,759 --> 00:24:23,038
cancers different experimental pro
635
00:24:20,079 --> 00:24:25,519
protocols yet coming to a similar
636
00:24:23,038 --> 00:24:27,759
conclusion so let's look we have a
637
00:24:25,519 --> 00:24:30,000
normal cell in the green we have a nice
638
00:24:27,759 --> 00:24:31,599
nucleus no mutations we have a little
639
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,519
these little bean-shaped mitochondria
640
00:24:31,599 --> 00:24:35,918
are very healthy producing energy
641
00:24:33,519 --> 00:24:38,000
through oxidative phosphorylation
642
00:24:35,919 --> 00:24:40,080
normal cells to get normal cells and if
643
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,599
they divide the growth
644
00:24:40,079 --> 00:24:43,918
they have regulated
645
00:24:41,599 --> 00:24:46,158
division regulated growth
646
00:24:43,919 --> 00:24:48,559
cancer cells beget cancer cells they
647
00:24:46,159 --> 00:24:50,720
have most cancer cells yes have a lot of
648
00:24:48,558 --> 00:24:53,440
mutations in the nucleus they also have
649
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:56,319
defects in the mitochondria oxidative
650
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:58,558
phosphorylation respiration is defective
651
00:24:56,319 --> 00:25:00,879
cancer cells beget cancer cells and
652
00:24:58,558 --> 00:25:03,038
these cells have dysregulated growth
653
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:05,440
right they have growth growth uh out of
654
00:25:03,038 --> 00:25:07,038
control this rig is the origin of cancer
655
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:10,558
so the question is
656
00:25:07,038 --> 00:25:12,400
what is responsible for the dysregulated
657
00:25:10,558 --> 00:25:14,798
growth is it the mutations in the
658
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:17,600
nucleus or is it the abnormalities in
659
00:25:14,798 --> 00:25:21,278
the cytoplasm in these mitochondria so
660
00:25:17,599 --> 00:25:23,359
this was clearly addressed by asking
661
00:25:21,278 --> 00:25:25,599
what happens when you move the nucleus
662
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:27,678
from a tumor cell and now place it into
663
00:25:25,599 --> 00:25:30,240
a normal cytoplasm with normal
664
00:25:27,679 --> 00:25:31,360
mitochondria and the cells that you got
665
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,038
were
666
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,399
regulated in growth in other words they
667
00:25:33,038 --> 00:25:36,558
had they were like normal cells they
668
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:38,480
didn't have dysregulated growth
669
00:25:36,558 --> 00:25:41,519
despite the presence of the cancer
670
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:44,079
nucleus okay on the other hand
671
00:25:41,519 --> 00:25:46,400
if the nucleus of an of a normal cell
672
00:25:44,079 --> 00:25:48,639
was to be placed into the cytoplasm of a
673
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:50,798
tumor cell with abnormal mitochondria
674
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:54,080
the cells either died or the ones that
675
00:25:50,798 --> 00:25:55,519
didn't die had dysregulated cell growth
676
00:25:54,079 --> 00:25:57,678
just the opposite of what you would have
677
00:25:55,519 --> 00:25:59,200
expected here this should have had the
678
00:25:57,679 --> 00:26:01,200
dysregulated growth and this should have
679
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:03,440
been the normal growth just the opposite
680
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:05,679
newer experiments are showing that if
681
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:07,360
you replace the abnormal mitochondria
682
00:26:05,679 --> 00:26:10,159
with normal mitochondria you can get
683
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:13,038
regulated growth all of this information
684
00:26:10,159 --> 00:26:16,320
clearly and profoundly says that cancer
685
00:26:13,038 --> 00:26:17,440
cannot be due to the mutations in the
686
00:26:16,319 --> 00:26:20,319
nucleus
687
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:22,960
they are due primarily cancer is due to
688
00:26:20,319 --> 00:26:25,439
abnormalities in the mitochondria in the
689
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:27,640
cytoplasm that's what this all of this
690
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:30,720
information points to so there's a
691
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:33,679
fundamental profound misunderstanding
692
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:36,240
in the scientific cancer field that
693
00:26:33,679 --> 00:26:38,320
on the origin of the disease so somatic
694
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:40,558
mutations are not the origin of cancer
695
00:26:38,319 --> 00:26:42,639
how do we get cancer how does it arise
696
00:26:40,558 --> 00:26:45,678
well this goes back as as was said in
697
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:46,799
the intro that warburg the german uh
698
00:26:45,679 --> 00:26:50,159
scientist
699
00:26:46,798 --> 00:26:52,480
uh from the 1920s 30s uh he passed away
700
00:26:50,159 --> 00:26:55,360
in 1970 actually
701
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:57,038
but he clearly showed that cancer arises
702
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,798
from chronic damage to cellular
703
00:26:57,038 --> 00:27:00,079
respiration the way we get energy from
704
00:26:58,798 --> 00:27:02,079
oxygen
705
00:27:00,079 --> 00:27:04,480
energy through fermentation gradually
706
00:27:02,079 --> 00:27:06,399
compensates for insufficient respiration
707
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:08,480
fermentation is energy without oxygen
708
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:10,240
it's a very primitive ancient form of
709
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:12,480
generating energy
710
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:14,640
cancer cells continue to ferment glucose
711
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:16,960
in the presence of oxygen which is
712
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:19,278
referred to as the warburg effect and we
713
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:22,000
call this aerobic fermentation cells
714
00:27:19,278 --> 00:27:24,000
should not ferment
715
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,759
in the presence of oxygen cancer cells
716
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,200
continue to ferment in the presence of
717
00:27:25,759 --> 00:27:29,440
oxygen
718
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:31,440
very abnormal
719
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:34,000
now there was a lot of controversy about
720
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:37,600
warburg's finest but we filled in we
721
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:39,759
discovered that uh uh cancer cells also
722
00:27:37,599 --> 00:27:41,439
ferment an amino acid glutamine
723
00:27:39,759 --> 00:27:42,960
glutamine is the most abundant amino
724
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,798
acid in our bloodstream the most
725
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:48,558
abundant amino acid in our body it's an
726
00:27:44,798 --> 00:27:50,720
amino acid glutamine and this uh cancer
727
00:27:48,558 --> 00:27:52,639
cells will ferment glutamine they can
728
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:55,120
burn glutamine in the absence of oxygen
729
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:56,640
for energy and we call this the q effect
730
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:59,359
to make make sure it's different from
731
00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:01,440
the warburg effect q is the singular
732
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:03,918
letter that identifies glutamine in the
733
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:06,080
biochemistry
734
00:28:03,919 --> 00:28:08,880
profile so this is the missing link in
735
00:28:06,079 --> 00:28:11,119
otto warburg central theory
736
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:13,679
that we now know that cancer cells
737
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,719
survive on fermentation but they will
738
00:28:13,679 --> 00:28:17,759
ferment
739
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:20,159
lactic acid from glucose and they'll
740
00:28:17,759 --> 00:28:21,679
ferment succinic acid from glutamine so
741
00:28:20,159 --> 00:28:23,919
the cancer cells are deriving their
742
00:28:21,679 --> 00:28:26,480
energy from fermentation rather than
743
00:28:23,919 --> 00:28:28,559
from uh oxidative respiration now the
744
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:31,120
important issue here is that enhanced
745
00:28:28,558 --> 00:28:33,119
fermentation is the signature metabolic
746
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:35,278
malady of all cancer cells we've looked
747
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:36,479
into this so if you look at cancer all
748
00:28:35,278 --> 00:28:38,720
these cancer cells have different
749
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:40,640
mutations there's different cell types
750
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:42,720
all these kind of heterogeneity but
751
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:45,600
they're all fermenting so the signature
752
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:48,798
metabolic malady is fermentation driven
753
00:28:45,599 --> 00:28:50,240
by glucose and glutamine
754
00:28:48,798 --> 00:28:51,679
and you'll come to realize that if we
755
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:54,240
target glucose and glutamine we can
756
00:28:51,679 --> 00:28:56,960
manage the majority of cancers
757
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:59,440
so let's look at the evidence to support
758
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:01,600
warburg's central theory that cancer is
759
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:03,919
damage respiration so this is an
760
00:29:01,599 --> 00:29:06,000
electron micrograph of a mitochondria
761
00:29:03,919 --> 00:29:07,840
because these are tiny tiny organelles
762
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:10,480
in the cytoplasm of the cell and you
763
00:29:07,839 --> 00:29:12,480
need to use electron microscopy to
764
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:14,720
really see the structure of the
765
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:17,360
organelle so you can see these nice
766
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:19,839
stripes you see here through the normal
767
00:29:17,359 --> 00:29:22,240
mitochondrion and
768
00:29:19,839 --> 00:29:24,798
these are called cristae and they
769
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:27,359
contain the lipids and proteins of the
770
00:29:24,798 --> 00:29:30,480
electron transport chain that allows us
771
00:29:27,359 --> 00:29:32,398
to generate atp energy from the oxygen
772
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:34,159
that we breathe okay
773
00:29:32,398 --> 00:29:35,519
so the cristae see how beautiful the
774
00:29:34,159 --> 00:29:38,399
structure is
775
00:29:35,519 --> 00:29:40,398
these are very sophisticated organelles
776
00:29:38,398 --> 00:29:42,719
they can generate tremendous amounts of
777
00:29:40,398 --> 00:29:44,959
energy in the presence of oxygen to keep
778
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:46,159
all of our tissues alive and our cell
779
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:48,079
our brain
780
00:29:46,159 --> 00:29:51,600
and our cells uh
781
00:29:48,079 --> 00:29:53,759
participatory in metabolic homeostasis
782
00:29:51,599 --> 00:29:55,278
now this is a glioblastoma a very deadly
783
00:29:53,759 --> 00:29:57,519
brain cancer i'll talk more about that
784
00:29:55,278 --> 00:29:59,919
later but you can see it's hollow it's
785
00:29:57,519 --> 00:30:02,158
crystallisis there's a breakdown there's
786
00:29:59,919 --> 00:30:05,038
no cristae so this organelle is not
787
00:30:02,159 --> 00:30:08,080
going to be able to generate energy
788
00:30:05,038 --> 00:30:10,079
because the structure is abnormal and
789
00:30:08,079 --> 00:30:13,038
i'll show you more evidence for this not
790
00:30:10,079 --> 00:30:15,278
just brain cancer here's a an example of
791
00:30:13,038 --> 00:30:16,879
breast cancer this is a
792
00:30:15,278 --> 00:30:18,079
these are breast tumor cells and these
793
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:20,480
are normal
794
00:30:18,079 --> 00:30:21,918
breast epithelial cells and you can see
795
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:24,240
the normal cell here has the nice
796
00:30:21,919 --> 00:30:26,080
stripes to cristae whereas the the
797
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:28,960
mitochondrion and the breast tumor has
798
00:30:26,079 --> 00:30:32,079
these big holes these uh crystallisis
799
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:34,000
abnormal cristae um this here crc is
800
00:30:32,079 --> 00:30:36,960
colorectal cancer
801
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:40,159
uh you can see the the uh crystal the
802
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:43,120
these ghost mitochondria so structure in
803
00:30:40,159 --> 00:30:45,840
biology the fundamental evolutionary
804
00:30:43,119 --> 00:30:48,000
concept of biology that you can all that
805
00:30:45,839 --> 00:30:50,720
everyone should be able to appreciate is
806
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:53,440
structure determines function structure
807
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:56,159
determines function if the structure of
808
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:59,200
the organelle is abnormal the function
809
00:30:56,159 --> 00:31:00,159
of the organelle will be abnormal
810
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,960
okay
811
00:31:00,159 --> 00:31:05,278
so what i did and i don't expect people
812
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:07,919
to see this because it's quite dense but
813
00:31:05,278 --> 00:31:09,679
these are all of the major cancers that
814
00:31:07,919 --> 00:31:11,679
we know of lung cancer neuroblast
815
00:31:09,679 --> 00:31:14,320
pancreatic ovarian
816
00:31:11,679 --> 00:31:16,880
colorectal breast whatever and i went
817
00:31:14,319 --> 00:31:18,960
through the literature and detailed in
818
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:21,679
all of these major cancers that
819
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:22,798
mitochondria were abnormal in structure
820
00:31:21,679 --> 00:31:25,038
and function
821
00:31:22,798 --> 00:31:26,960
structure determines function
822
00:31:25,038 --> 00:31:28,798
if the structure is abnormal the
823
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:31,038
function will be abnormal if the
824
00:31:28,798 --> 00:31:32,480
mitochondria structure is abnormal the
825
00:31:31,038 --> 00:31:34,798
function of that organelle will be
826
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:36,399
abnormal that the role of that organelle
827
00:31:34,798 --> 00:31:38,558
is to generate energy through
828
00:31:36,398 --> 00:31:40,639
respiration so if you can't generate
829
00:31:38,558 --> 00:31:44,240
energy through respiration in order to
830
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:46,080
survive the the cell must ferment
831
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:48,960
so let's look at energy a little bit
832
00:31:46,079 --> 00:31:50,639
here this is energy metabolism in normal
833
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:53,600
cells
834
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:56,559
the glycolysis pathway breaks glucose
835
00:31:53,599 --> 00:31:59,199
down to pyruvic acid or pyruvate a
836
00:31:56,558 --> 00:32:02,079
10-step this is an ancient pathway that
837
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:05,278
existed in all cells before oxygen came
838
00:32:02,079 --> 00:32:07,678
into the atmosphere 2.5 billion years
839
00:32:05,278 --> 00:32:10,558
ago so this is an ancient ancient
840
00:32:07,679 --> 00:32:13,120
pathway but it presents uh breaks down
841
00:32:10,558 --> 00:32:14,480
the sugar glucose the pyruvate enters
842
00:32:13,119 --> 00:32:17,439
the mitochondria
843
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:21,038
and is fully oxidized in the krebs cycle
844
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:23,038
named for hans krebs also the tca cycle
845
00:32:21,038 --> 00:32:24,879
citric acid cycle the same names for the
846
00:32:23,038 --> 00:32:27,599
same thing and what it does is it
847
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:30,320
collects the energy from the sun that
848
00:32:27,599 --> 00:32:32,240
was in pla in the bonds of the glucose
849
00:32:30,319 --> 00:32:33,038
molecule breaks the end of these bonds
850
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:35,839
down
851
00:32:33,038 --> 00:32:38,558
captures the energy of the sun in these
852
00:32:35,839 --> 00:32:40,720
uh reducing equivalents which then
853
00:32:38,558 --> 00:32:43,918
deliver their electrons to the proteins
854
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:46,399
in the cristae electron transport chain
855
00:32:43,919 --> 00:32:49,679
oxidative phosphorylation and you see
856
00:32:46,398 --> 00:32:51,678
this large star burst here atp so the
857
00:32:49,679 --> 00:32:54,559
most of the energy coming in our cells
858
00:32:51,679 --> 00:32:57,038
89 to 90 percent energy
859
00:32:54,558 --> 00:33:00,079
is coming from the full oxidation of
860
00:32:57,038 --> 00:33:03,200
glucose down and the waste products are
861
00:33:00,079 --> 00:33:05,599
co2 and water okay so this is the way
862
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:07,278
most of all healthy cells in our body
863
00:33:05,599 --> 00:33:10,000
get majority of their energy we all
864
00:33:07,278 --> 00:33:12,079
breathe air uh we generate energy from
865
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:14,798
the foods that we eat we break it down
866
00:33:12,079 --> 00:33:17,278
the foods that we eat embody the biology
867
00:33:14,798 --> 00:33:20,000
of the sun the sun the sun actually
868
00:33:17,278 --> 00:33:22,398
creates this we break those bonds down
869
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:24,000
recapture the energy of the sun in
870
00:33:22,398 --> 00:33:26,158
respiration and we get the majority of
871
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:28,000
our energy here now you don't see these
872
00:33:26,159 --> 00:33:30,799
small star bursts here
873
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:32,480
these um this is the way all cells got
874
00:33:30,798 --> 00:33:34,879
energy before oxygen came into the
875
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:36,399
atmosphere these little ancient pathways
876
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:38,320
you can get they still they're still
877
00:33:36,398 --> 00:33:40,719
there they're still present in modern
878
00:33:38,319 --> 00:33:43,278
cells it's just that they're very very
879
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:46,000
much less energy most of the energy now
880
00:33:43,278 --> 00:33:47,759
is coming from respiration now let's
881
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:50,319
compare this with what we see in a
882
00:33:47,759 --> 00:33:51,759
cancer cell so now immediately the first
883
00:33:50,319 --> 00:33:54,319
thing you see is the starburst is
884
00:33:51,759 --> 00:33:56,398
somewhere else it's here it's here from
885
00:33:54,319 --> 00:33:58,240
a different source and it's also here in
886
00:33:56,398 --> 00:34:00,398
the cytoplasm
887
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:02,319
so the ancient pathways
888
00:34:00,398 --> 00:34:05,038
are now producing the majority of the
889
00:34:02,319 --> 00:34:06,879
energy the oxidative phosphorylation is
890
00:34:05,038 --> 00:34:08,559
not producing the energy because the
891
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:10,480
organelle the cristae are gone so you're
892
00:34:08,559 --> 00:34:12,559
not going to get the energy here so the
893
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:15,918
cell the cancer cell
894
00:34:12,559 --> 00:34:18,000
falls back on these ancient pathways
895
00:34:15,918 --> 00:34:20,239
that existed before oxygen came into the
896
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:21,918
atmosphere the interesting thing is when
897
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:24,078
they do that they become completely
898
00:34:21,918 --> 00:34:27,279
growth dysregulated and the waste
899
00:34:24,079 --> 00:34:30,000
products lactic acid and succinic acid
900
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:31,200
acidify the micro environment of the
901
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:33,280
tumor cell
902
00:34:31,199 --> 00:34:36,000
making the spread of the tumor cell
903
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:38,240
through the tissues uh much greater
904
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:40,639
because of all the waste that's now
905
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:42,319
creating acidification which doesn't
906
00:34:40,639 --> 00:34:44,480
occur in the normal cells you don't get
907
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:47,119
any of this so the cancer cell is simply
908
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:49,039
falling back on ancient pathways
909
00:34:47,119 --> 00:34:50,480
acidifying the micro environment and
910
00:34:49,039 --> 00:34:52,559
this is driven
911
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:55,039
these fuels are driven here's glucose
912
00:34:52,559 --> 00:34:57,519
and what's driving here is the glutamine
913
00:34:55,039 --> 00:35:00,960
the glutamine the amino acid glutamine
914
00:34:57,519 --> 00:35:03,679
is driving this part apart and the uh
915
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:06,159
sugar glucose is driving this part so
916
00:35:03,679 --> 00:35:09,919
the abnormal energy of the cancer cell
917
00:35:06,159 --> 00:35:12,000
is being driven by glucose and glutamine
918
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:14,000
not by oxygen
919
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:16,400
because they lost that ability now this
920
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,599
is more complicated but this is the
921
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,760
uh
922
00:35:17,599 --> 00:35:22,320
structural uh example of what we're
923
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:24,079
talking about uh here's glycolysis the
924
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:26,559
ancient pathway of glycolysis and
925
00:35:24,079 --> 00:35:27,359
glutamineolysis
926
00:35:26,559 --> 00:35:29,679
and
927
00:35:27,358 --> 00:35:32,000
uh what's happening here
928
00:35:29,679 --> 00:35:35,199
glucose is metabolized to lactic acid
929
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:38,480
which acidifies the microenvironment
930
00:35:35,199 --> 00:35:40,078
but very little atp is coming here i i
931
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:42,000
can explain if anybody's interested
932
00:35:40,079 --> 00:35:44,400
here's the glutamine the amino acid it
933
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:46,559
comes through a series of pathways
934
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:49,039
and right here boom here's the energy
935
00:35:46,559 --> 00:35:51,358
coming from glutamine so glutamine is
936
00:35:49,039 --> 00:35:53,440
generating the majority of the energy
937
00:35:51,358 --> 00:35:55,920
the oxygen cancer cells do take in
938
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:58,079
oxygen but they're not linked to atp
939
00:35:55,920 --> 00:36:02,079
production but rather to the production
940
00:35:58,079 --> 00:36:04,480
of ros ross which are reactive radicals
941
00:36:02,079 --> 00:36:07,280
that damage dna and rna and actually
942
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:09,119
cause a tremendous amount of damage so
943
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:10,960
uh and then succinate is dumped out to
944
00:36:09,119 --> 00:36:13,280
acidify the micro environment lactic
945
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:15,679
acid is dumped out so the cancer cell is
946
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:17,920
driven by by glucose and glutamine
947
00:36:15,679 --> 00:36:20,399
producing energy by an ancient pathway
948
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:22,800
also producing reactive oxygen species
949
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:24,720
uh causing a tremendous amount of damage
950
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:26,560
in the micro environment
951
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:29,759
so here's our diagram
952
00:36:26,559 --> 00:36:32,400
uh to encapsulate how we link the
953
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:34,960
hallmarks of cancer according to the
954
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:37,280
gene theory and hanahan and weinberg all
955
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:39,280
of these hallmarks here on the right can
956
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:42,480
all be linked back
957
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:45,280
to damage to the mitochondria so let's
958
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:47,920
look carefully at the origin of cancer
959
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:50,720
so everyone we call certain chemicals as
960
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:52,800
carcinogens like in smoke uh there's a
961
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:56,078
lot of carcinogens in
962
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:58,320
in cigarette tobacco smoke then we know
963
00:36:56,079 --> 00:37:01,440
that that can damage mitochondria
964
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:04,079
carcinogens damage the mitochondria
965
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:06,079
people fear radiation because radiation
966
00:37:04,079 --> 00:37:08,720
can cause cancer
967
00:37:06,079 --> 00:37:12,000
by damaging uh mitochondria
968
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:14,078
intermittent hypoxia like sleep apnea
969
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:16,559
and occlusion of a blood vessel or
970
00:37:14,079 --> 00:37:18,480
something can create intermittent
971
00:37:16,559 --> 00:37:21,759
hypoxia
972
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:25,039
which will damage the mitochondria okay
973
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:29,040
systemic inflammation
974
00:37:25,039 --> 00:37:32,880
can damage the mitochondria um obesity
975
00:37:29,039 --> 00:37:34,559
uh is linked to systemic inflammation um
976
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:36,559
obesity
977
00:37:34,559 --> 00:37:38,639
excuse me it's the second most
978
00:37:36,559 --> 00:37:41,759
uh behind the cigarette smoke is the
979
00:37:38,639 --> 00:37:44,159
most uh provocative agent for damaging
980
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:46,560
uh mitochondria
981
00:37:44,159 --> 00:37:48,078
uh rare rare inherited mutations like
982
00:37:46,559 --> 00:37:50,639
the braco one gene you heard about
983
00:37:48,079 --> 00:37:52,880
angelina jolie with the bracha one
984
00:37:50,639 --> 00:37:54,239
having you know breasts and ovaries
985
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,358
removed or what have you a lot of women
986
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:57,358
a lot of people
987
00:37:55,358 --> 00:37:58,799
many not everyone but some people do
988
00:37:57,358 --> 00:38:01,759
this um
989
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:03,519
so these mutations are risk factors they
990
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:05,839
they are risk factors because they
991
00:38:03,519 --> 00:38:08,639
damage the respiration all of these
992
00:38:05,838 --> 00:38:10,880
provocative agents are risk factors
993
00:38:08,639 --> 00:38:12,639
oncogenic viruses like papilloma and
994
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:14,640
hepatitis they've damaged the
995
00:38:12,639 --> 00:38:16,719
respiration and also age the older you
996
00:38:14,639 --> 00:38:18,639
get the more likely you can have a
997
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:20,000
damage to your respiration
998
00:38:18,639 --> 00:38:21,679
leading to
999
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:24,239
um
1000
00:38:21,679 --> 00:38:25,759
disruption of oxidative phosphorylation
1001
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:27,919
and this had been known for many years
1002
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:30,240
this was called the oncogenic paradox
1003
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:32,559
because no one could figure out how all
1004
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:34,479
of these disparate risk factors
1005
00:38:32,559 --> 00:38:37,358
could cause cancer
1006
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:39,358
through a common pathophysiological
1007
00:38:37,358 --> 00:38:41,920
mechanism and if those of you who read
1008
00:38:39,358 --> 00:38:43,519
the book emperor of all maladies by sid
1009
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:46,079
mukherjee which was on the new york
1010
00:38:43,519 --> 00:38:49,280
times bestseller list for many years and
1011
00:38:46,079 --> 00:38:51,680
was the uh received the pulitzer prize
1012
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:54,560
uh for the for the book
1013
00:38:51,679 --> 00:38:56,719
um he struggles with this he had no idea
1014
00:38:54,559 --> 00:38:58,880
as mukherjee in the book how all these
1015
00:38:56,719 --> 00:39:01,078
different provocative agents could could
1016
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:03,519
cause cancer through a common
1017
00:39:01,079 --> 00:39:05,119
pathophysiological mechanism and we we
1018
00:39:03,519 --> 00:39:06,639
define we we solved the power the
1019
00:39:05,119 --> 00:39:08,720
paradox
1020
00:39:06,639 --> 00:39:11,039
we know that all of these provocative
1021
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:12,838
agents will cause reactive oxygen
1022
00:39:11,039 --> 00:39:17,679
species r o
1023
00:39:12,838 --> 00:39:20,559
s and this these ros are carcinogenic
1024
00:39:17,679 --> 00:39:23,279
and mutagenic so the ros caused the
1025
00:39:20,559 --> 00:39:26,000
mutations in the nucleus all right so
1026
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:27,920
the mutations are an effect they're not
1027
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:30,159
the cause they're a downstream effect of
1028
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:32,639
mitochondrial damage but when the
1029
00:39:30,159 --> 00:39:35,118
mitochondria can't produce energy
1030
00:39:32,639 --> 00:39:37,519
through oxidative phosphorylation they
1031
00:39:35,119 --> 00:39:40,160
upregulate fermentation through
1032
00:39:37,519 --> 00:39:44,559
substrate level phosphorylation and what
1033
00:39:40,159 --> 00:39:47,440
happens is what is up regulating slp
1034
00:39:44,559 --> 00:39:50,320
fermentation and it is the oncogenes so
1035
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:52,800
the oncogenes are facilitators
1036
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:54,800
of the fermentation process they allow
1037
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:58,320
the cell to take in more glucose and
1038
00:39:54,800 --> 00:40:00,560
glutamine so um when you can't breathe
1039
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:02,240
that this if a cell doesn't die right
1040
00:40:00,559 --> 00:40:04,880
away but it's chronic it's a chronic
1041
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:06,559
progression over time the cell gradually
1042
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:08,400
upregulates fermentation you get the
1043
00:40:06,559 --> 00:40:09,599
warburg effect and mitochondrial
1044
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:10,400
fermentation
1045
00:40:09,599 --> 00:40:12,318
okay
1046
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:14,639
and now you can link all the hallmarks
1047
00:40:12,318 --> 00:40:16,639
of cancer that people think are are
1048
00:40:14,639 --> 00:40:18,799
really important are all downstream
1049
00:40:16,639 --> 00:40:21,199
effects of damage to the mitochondria so
1050
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:23,119
we're spending millions of dollars
1051
00:40:21,199 --> 00:40:25,519
and spending massive amounts of
1052
00:40:23,119 --> 00:40:27,599
scientific research on on these
1053
00:40:25,519 --> 00:40:29,599
hallmarks that all can be linked back to
1054
00:40:27,599 --> 00:40:31,519
damage to the respiration and now that
1055
00:40:29,599 --> 00:40:33,519
we know this we there are very clear
1056
00:40:31,519 --> 00:40:36,079
ways by which we can solve this cancer
1057
00:40:33,519 --> 00:40:38,400
problem quite effectively
1058
00:40:36,079 --> 00:40:41,280
and here as i said we published this
1059
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:43,280
paper uh on the origin of atp synthesis
1060
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:45,200
in cancer because without atp cancer
1061
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:46,800
cells can't grow without atp none of the
1062
00:40:45,199 --> 00:40:48,559
cells can grow so the first thing you
1063
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:50,560
want to do is where does the energy come
1064
00:40:48,559 --> 00:40:53,279
from that drives the beast which is the
1065
00:40:50,559 --> 00:40:55,039
cancer and it's coming from fermentation
1066
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:56,800
so again normal mitochondria have the
1067
00:40:55,039 --> 00:40:58,719
nice stripes the cristae we get most of
1068
00:40:56,800 --> 00:41:01,039
our energy by breathing air we have very
1069
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:03,118
little risk of cancer however as the
1070
00:41:01,039 --> 00:41:05,279
damage this to this organelle occurs
1071
00:41:03,119 --> 00:41:07,760
over time uh you can see here is the
1072
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:11,440
final result which is a complete damage
1073
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:14,160
to the mitochondria and you get uh the
1074
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:16,400
transformation from respiration energy
1075
00:41:14,159 --> 00:41:18,480
in the green to red a substrate level
1076
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:20,240
phosphorylation which is directly
1077
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:22,000
correlated with malignancy the more
1078
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:24,399
malignant the cancer is the more it
1079
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:26,559
ferments the more malignant the more it
1080
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:29,039
ferments the more malignant it is right
1081
00:41:26,559 --> 00:41:31,279
what's driving the fermentation glucose
1082
00:41:29,039 --> 00:41:33,519
and glutamy are driving the fermentation
1083
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:35,599
so this malignancy is directly related
1084
00:41:33,519 --> 00:41:37,440
to fermentation driven by glucose and
1085
00:41:35,599 --> 00:41:39,440
gluten
1086
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:41,280
now let's look at metastasis all right
1087
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:43,440
because this is the most fearsome at
1088
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:46,319
fearful absent as they say fearsome
1089
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:48,559
aspect of cancer 90 of all cancer deaths
1090
00:41:46,318 --> 00:41:50,559
are due to the fact that the cancer
1091
00:41:48,559 --> 00:41:52,400
cells which start in some tissue or
1092
00:41:50,559 --> 00:41:54,400
organ now begin to spread through your
1093
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:56,160
body and that's what's referred to as
1094
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:58,318
when someone says i have stage four
1095
00:41:56,159 --> 00:42:01,358
cancer stage four cancer means it's
1096
00:41:58,318 --> 00:42:03,440
already spread it has metastasized it
1097
00:42:01,358 --> 00:42:04,400
has spread to different organs the and
1098
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:05,358
the first
1099
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:08,000
uh
1100
00:42:05,358 --> 00:42:10,078
linkage of of a metastasis to a
1101
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:14,000
non-random it's actually a non-random
1102
00:42:10,079 --> 00:42:16,000
process 1889 this person stephen padgett
1103
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:18,960
was studying breast cancer showed that
1104
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:21,599
breast cells uh spread to organs in in a
1105
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:24,559
non-random way he referred to the cancer
1106
00:42:21,599 --> 00:42:26,720
cells as seeds and and the where they go
1107
00:42:24,559 --> 00:42:28,960
the soil to what the soil is like you
1108
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:32,078
know liver kidney spleen these other
1109
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:34,400
organs and um the seed soil we solve
1110
00:42:32,079 --> 00:42:37,519
this seed soil hypothesis by showing
1111
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:39,200
that the seeds are like mitochondria uh
1112
00:42:37,519 --> 00:42:40,559
a correction macrophage is a different
1113
00:42:39,199 --> 00:42:42,719
kind of cell and i'll discuss this in a
1114
00:42:40,559 --> 00:42:45,759
minute and they do they do a non-random
1115
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:47,118
dish spread through the body
1116
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:49,760
so here's the here's a picture of
1117
00:42:47,119 --> 00:42:52,559
metastasis uh an artwork
1118
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:54,079
uh that was produced the green cells
1119
00:42:52,559 --> 00:42:56,000
here are
1120
00:42:54,079 --> 00:42:57,440
the cancer cells okay so these are the
1121
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,800
green the green cells are your cancer
1122
00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:01,280
cells
1123
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:05,039
and this is the non-random metastatic
1124
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:07,280
cascade a non-random metastatic cascade
1125
00:43:05,039 --> 00:43:09,119
because if you have colon cancer breast
1126
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:12,800
cancer
1127
00:43:09,119 --> 00:43:14,960
ovarian cancer the process is it follows
1128
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:16,960
this cascade the first thing that
1129
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:19,679
happens is the cancer cells bust through
1130
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:22,480
the basement membrane and they start to
1131
00:43:19,679 --> 00:43:25,440
locally invade uh the tissue from where
1132
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:28,400
they started a local invasion the second
1133
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:30,079
step is imtravisation which means they
1134
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:32,559
enter into the bloodstream they go
1135
00:43:30,079 --> 00:43:34,960
through the blood vessel wall and enter
1136
00:43:32,559 --> 00:43:36,639
into the bloodstream they are not killed
1137
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:38,880
by the immune system
1138
00:43:36,639 --> 00:43:40,879
because as i will show you they are part
1139
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:42,960
of the immune system so they're immune
1140
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:44,960
not only are they not uh killed by the
1141
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:47,760
immune system they actually suppress our
1142
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:49,199
immune system to be dysfunctional that's
1143
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:50,960
because these cells and i'll show you
1144
00:43:49,199 --> 00:43:53,039
they are part of the immune system
1145
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:54,159
they're macrophages actually and then
1146
00:43:53,039 --> 00:43:56,079
what happens they get into the
1147
00:43:54,159 --> 00:43:58,000
bloodstream
1148
00:43:56,079 --> 00:44:00,000
and they spread through and it's called
1149
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:01,838
extravazation they exit the blood
1150
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:04,159
vessels these are all extremely
1151
00:44:01,838 --> 00:44:06,559
sophisticated biological processes that
1152
00:44:04,159 --> 00:44:08,318
cannot occur through random mutations
1153
00:44:06,559 --> 00:44:10,159
the randomness makes no sense when
1154
00:44:08,318 --> 00:44:12,639
you're looking at a non-random uh
1155
00:44:10,159 --> 00:44:15,199
cascade so they extrapolate and they set
1156
00:44:12,639 --> 00:44:16,719
up secondary to tumor formation so if
1157
00:44:15,199 --> 00:44:18,239
this were a breast tumor breaks through
1158
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:19,838
the basal membrane gets into the
1159
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:22,399
bloodstream and then you'll get the
1160
00:44:19,838 --> 00:44:24,000
tumor cells in the lung the spleen
1161
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:25,760
sometimes the brain different different
1162
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:28,239
organs so the question how can
1163
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:30,480
accumulation of random somatic mutations
1164
00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:32,799
according to the somatic mutation theory
1165
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:34,639
cause a non-random medicine none of this
1166
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:35,359
when you start to understand what cancer
1167
00:44:34,639 --> 00:44:37,199
is
1168
00:44:35,358 --> 00:44:39,519
everything associated with the somatic
1169
00:44:37,199 --> 00:44:41,279
mutation theory makes no sense yet the
1170
00:44:39,519 --> 00:44:43,280
field continues to embrace the somatic
1171
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:45,119
mutation theory
1172
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:48,000
now here's the way we get metastatic
1173
00:44:45,119 --> 00:44:49,519
cancer so here's uh normal epithelial
1174
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:51,440
cells could be in the breast it could be
1175
00:44:49,519 --> 00:44:53,599
in the lung it could be somewhere
1176
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:56,159
one of the provocative agents
1177
00:44:53,599 --> 00:44:58,800
risk factors causes a
1178
00:44:56,159 --> 00:45:00,879
abnormality in the mitochondria leading
1179
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:02,800
to dysregulated cell growth but these
1180
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:05,920
cells can't spread anywhere they are
1181
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:07,920
cancer cells stem cells they by growing
1182
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:08,960
they create abnormality in the micro
1183
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:10,480
environment
1184
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:13,119
which our body
1185
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:15,679
recognizes as a wound cancer is
1186
00:45:13,119 --> 00:45:18,480
recognized as a unhealed wound now the
1187
00:45:15,679 --> 00:45:20,960
red cells are are wound healing cells
1188
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:23,519
they're called macrophages their job in
1189
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:27,358
our body is to kill bacteria and heal
1190
00:45:23,519 --> 00:45:29,759
wounds so they see these blue cells as a
1191
00:45:27,358 --> 00:45:32,639
wound so they come in and they throw out
1192
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:34,800
various growth factors that will try to
1193
00:45:32,639 --> 00:45:37,279
to heal wounds but that's the wrong
1194
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:40,400
context those growth factors cause these
1195
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:42,480
blue cells uh incipient cancer cells to
1196
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:43,519
become even more destabilized in their
1197
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:46,639
growth
1198
00:45:43,519 --> 00:45:48,400
and these macrophages have a capacity if
1199
00:45:46,639 --> 00:45:51,039
the wound doesn't heal right away they
1200
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:52,559
have a very powerful fusagenic property
1201
00:45:51,039 --> 00:45:54,800
where they actually fused with other
1202
00:45:52,559 --> 00:45:56,880
cells to facilitate wound healing so
1203
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:58,640
what happens now is the macrophage that
1204
00:45:56,880 --> 00:46:01,599
was designed in our by our body to heal
1205
00:45:58,639 --> 00:46:04,639
the wound fuses with these cancer cells
1206
00:46:01,599 --> 00:46:07,920
diluting the mitochondria in these cells
1207
00:46:04,639 --> 00:46:10,960
to become abnormal now these macrophages
1208
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:13,200
already have the capacity to intravisit
1209
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:17,358
extravazate suppress the immune system
1210
00:46:13,199 --> 00:46:19,919
this is the origin of of our metastatic
1211
00:46:17,358 --> 00:46:21,598
cells it's a fusion hybridization
1212
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:23,680
between one of the normal cells in our
1213
00:46:21,599 --> 00:46:25,680
body with one of these abnormally
1214
00:46:23,679 --> 00:46:28,559
dysregulated cells that cannot
1215
00:46:25,679 --> 00:46:30,639
metastasize this is a local event but to
1216
00:46:28,559 --> 00:46:32,239
get this the local event to become
1217
00:46:30,639 --> 00:46:34,559
systemic there's this fusion
1218
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:36,318
hybridization and these cells now enter
1219
00:46:34,559 --> 00:46:38,239
and exit the nerve so you get rogue
1220
00:46:36,318 --> 00:46:41,599
macrophages spreading all around your
1221
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:43,358
body driven by glucose and glutamine
1222
00:46:41,599 --> 00:46:45,280
these cells are absolutely dependent on
1223
00:46:43,358 --> 00:46:46,880
glucose and glutamine for their survival
1224
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:48,880
to make atp
1225
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:51,119
right so you don't need new mutations so
1226
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:53,680
all this mutation stuff is just a
1227
00:46:51,119 --> 00:46:55,599
deviation so if most cancer cells obtain
1228
00:46:53,679 --> 00:46:57,199
energy through fermentation you know
1229
00:46:55,599 --> 00:46:59,039
what therapies might be effective from
1230
00:46:57,199 --> 00:47:00,318
managing and preventing tumors well one
1231
00:46:59,039 --> 00:47:02,559
approach is to reduce levels of
1232
00:47:00,318 --> 00:47:05,199
fermentable fuels while elevating levels
1233
00:47:02,559 --> 00:47:07,199
of non-fermentable fuels not complicated
1234
00:47:05,199 --> 00:47:08,879
so what we do here
1235
00:47:07,199 --> 00:47:10,639
if the tumor cell absolutely needs
1236
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:13,200
glucose for its rapid growth you've got
1237
00:47:10,639 --> 00:47:16,239
a lower systemic glucose you've got to
1238
00:47:13,199 --> 00:47:18,000
reduce the sugar and you elevate fuels
1239
00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:20,239
that the tumor cells can't use so our
1240
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:22,318
normal cells are great at using fatty
1241
00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:24,078
acids and ketone bodies the tumor cells
1242
00:47:22,318 --> 00:47:26,000
cannot use these fuels because they
1243
00:47:24,079 --> 00:47:28,079
cannot be fermented they have to be
1244
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:30,800
respired so the tumor cell becomes at a
1245
00:47:28,079 --> 00:47:32,720
competitive disadvantage when you lower
1246
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:35,519
the fuels that are absolutely needed
1247
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:38,078
water only fasting calorie restriction
1248
00:47:35,519 --> 00:47:40,159
or ketogenic diets all will lower blood
1249
00:47:38,079 --> 00:47:43,039
sugar levels elevating ketones which the
1250
00:47:40,159 --> 00:47:46,000
tumor cells can't use
1251
00:47:43,039 --> 00:47:49,119
okay so we developed the glucose ketone
1252
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:50,960
index uh calculator it's just a simple
1253
00:47:49,119 --> 00:47:53,119
tool to monitor now this was for brain
1254
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:55,760
cancer monitor monitor therapeutic
1255
00:47:53,119 --> 00:47:58,160
efficacy for brain cancer but we now
1256
00:47:55,760 --> 00:48:00,640
know all all of the major cancers suffer
1257
00:47:58,159 --> 00:48:03,440
the same problem all the major cancers
1258
00:48:00,639 --> 00:48:06,239
need glucose and glutamine so but for
1259
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:08,318
lowering glucose and elevating ketones
1260
00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:11,039
which puts most cancer cells in a
1261
00:48:08,318 --> 00:48:13,440
defensive position we we built this
1262
00:48:11,039 --> 00:48:16,318
little simple calculator and you keto
1263
00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:19,519
mojo is it is the meter that you can buy
1264
00:48:16,318 --> 00:48:22,000
from uh amazon and it will measure blood
1265
00:48:19,519 --> 00:48:23,440
sugar and blood ketones and if you can
1266
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:27,519
get a ratio
1267
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:30,159
uh the gki ratio of 2.0 or below you are
1268
00:48:27,519 --> 00:48:33,119
now putting your body the body into a
1269
00:48:30,159 --> 00:48:35,279
state of nutritional ketosis which is
1270
00:48:33,119 --> 00:48:38,000
depriving the tumor cell of the of the
1271
00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:40,160
glucose needed to grow uh it doesn't
1272
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:42,400
target the glutamine but it certainly
1273
00:48:40,159 --> 00:48:44,480
can tell you what stage you're in for
1274
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:46,000
targeting or reducing the glucose to the
1275
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:48,079
tumor growth
1276
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:51,039
now what we've done is we produced this
1277
00:48:48,079 --> 00:48:53,519
press pulse uh concept it's a novel
1278
00:48:51,039 --> 00:48:55,279
therapeutic strategy from metabolic
1279
00:48:53,519 --> 00:48:56,880
management of cancer
1280
00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:58,960
and um
1281
00:48:56,880 --> 00:49:00,640
when patients enter the clinic
1282
00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:03,039
not only do they have cancer but many
1283
00:49:00,639 --> 00:49:05,279
cancer patients not all but many have
1284
00:49:03,039 --> 00:49:07,519
comorbidities hypertension high blood
1285
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:10,480
pressure type 2 diabetes they have all
1286
00:49:07,519 --> 00:49:13,519
of these other maladies so in order to
1287
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:17,039
move the patient from a a very critical
1288
00:49:13,519 --> 00:49:19,599
stage to a less critical stage we
1289
00:49:17,039 --> 00:49:22,079
introduce restricted ketogenic diet
1290
00:49:19,599 --> 00:49:25,280
therapy ketone supplementation
1291
00:49:22,079 --> 00:49:27,599
attempts to press down the availability
1292
00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:28,960
of the glucose we also use stress
1293
00:49:27,599 --> 00:49:31,119
management
1294
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:33,039
when people are diagnosed with cancer
1295
00:49:31,119 --> 00:49:35,440
they have this impending
1296
00:49:33,039 --> 00:49:36,880
doom uh a feeling that they're all going
1297
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:37,920
to be dead and they're going to die and
1298
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:39,920
they're going to suffer and all this
1299
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:42,639
kind of stuff and that raises blood
1300
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:45,119
sugar anxiety raises blood sugar so what
1301
00:49:42,639 --> 00:49:48,239
we do is stress management together with
1302
00:49:45,119 --> 00:49:50,640
a diet therapeutic approach to lower the
1303
00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:52,879
glucose and elevate the ketones and once
1304
00:49:50,639 --> 00:49:54,239
the patient is in a state of nutritional
1305
00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:56,400
ketosis
1306
00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:58,879
then we do pulse therapies we don't ever
1307
00:49:56,400 --> 00:50:01,920
want to treat patients with toxic levels
1308
00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:03,680
of drugs uh it's you pulse them you you
1309
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:06,480
once the patient is in this you begin to
1310
00:50:03,679 --> 00:50:09,039
pulse glucose drugs that target glucose
1311
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:12,159
like embendazole the parasite medication
1312
00:50:09,039 --> 00:50:14,800
and fenbendazole glutamine and targeting
1313
00:50:12,159 --> 00:50:16,639
with dawn and glutamine uh um i'll talk
1314
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:19,119
about that in a minute and hyperbaric
1315
00:50:16,639 --> 00:50:21,118
oxygen which creates oxidative stress
1316
00:50:19,119 --> 00:50:23,358
without toxicity i mean you can you can
1317
00:50:21,119 --> 00:50:25,200
use radiation to create oxidative stress
1318
00:50:23,358 --> 00:50:27,039
but that radiation also damages your
1319
00:50:25,199 --> 00:50:28,719
normal tissue we don't want that we want
1320
00:50:27,039 --> 00:50:30,719
to use therapies that will achieve the
1321
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:33,199
same goal without damaging your normal
1322
00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:34,799
tissues there should be no reason why
1323
00:50:33,199 --> 00:50:36,239
people should ever be exposed to all
1324
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:38,960
kinds of toxic therapies to make
1325
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:41,598
themselves healthy so what happens now
1326
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:43,119
is we bring the patient into a state of
1327
00:50:41,599 --> 00:50:45,039
management
1328
00:50:43,119 --> 00:50:47,519
the patient still has tumors but we
1329
00:50:45,039 --> 00:50:48,800
gradually remove comorbidities like i've
1330
00:50:47,519 --> 00:50:50,159
mentioned
1331
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:52,079
and then through
1332
00:50:50,159 --> 00:50:54,480
perfections of dosage timing and
1333
00:50:52,079 --> 00:50:55,680
scheduling with these press pulse
1334
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:57,440
therapies
1335
00:50:55,679 --> 00:50:59,440
we can then move the patient from a
1336
00:50:57,440 --> 00:51:01,760
state of management either it's a very
1337
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:03,838
long term management or even possible uh
1338
00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:09,240
resolution and this is the cutting edge
1339
00:51:03,838 --> 00:51:09,239
right now what is the best status timing
1340
00:51:11,838 --> 00:51:15,920
that can achieve long-term management
1341
00:51:13,599 --> 00:51:18,240
high quality of life and possible uh
1342
00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:19,680
resolution this is a work in progress
1343
00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:20,959
it's the cutting edge and this will be
1344
00:51:19,679 --> 00:51:22,719
the future of how we're going to manage
1345
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:24,559
the majority of cancers
1346
00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:27,279
now i'm going to talk specifically about
1347
00:51:24,559 --> 00:51:29,680
one type of cancer glioblastoma
1348
00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:34,400
which is among the most aggressive
1349
00:51:29,679 --> 00:51:34,399
primary brain tumors very poor prognosis
1350
00:51:34,559 --> 00:51:37,760
median survival is only about 10 to 15
1351
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:40,400
months
1352
00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:42,559
uh composed of many different cell types
1353
00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:44,318
neoplastic stem cells neoplastic
1354
00:51:42,559 --> 00:51:46,880
mesenchymal cells with macrophage
1355
00:51:44,318 --> 00:51:48,719
characteristics as i said this is the
1356
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:50,800
rogue macrophage the most deadly and
1357
00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:53,598
difficult aspect responsible for
1358
00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:55,200
metastasis and they can also metastasize
1359
00:51:53,599 --> 00:51:57,200
outside the nervous system
1360
00:51:55,199 --> 00:52:00,639
in some people so we're really dealing
1361
00:51:57,199 --> 00:52:02,838
with a very difficult disease um usually
1362
00:52:00,639 --> 00:52:05,440
it's always considered terminal
1363
00:52:02,838 --> 00:52:07,119
incurable uh all of these kinds of terms
1364
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:09,440
you hopeless you hear all these kinds of
1365
00:52:07,119 --> 00:52:11,200
terms when you discuss this so here's a
1366
00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:12,480
gross section of a
1367
00:52:11,199 --> 00:52:14,879
person's brain who died from
1368
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:16,880
glioblastoma you can see the massive
1369
00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:19,280
discoloration cystic
1370
00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:20,880
regions you see that here's the midline
1371
00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:22,640
the midline of the brain is shifted to
1372
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:24,400
the left should be nice and straight
1373
00:52:22,639 --> 00:52:26,558
that as the tumor grew
1374
00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:28,800
uh what happens to these poor folks is
1375
00:52:26,559 --> 00:52:30,800
that the intracranial pressure from the
1376
00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:32,960
expanding tumor
1377
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:34,079
will eventually cause unconsciousness
1378
00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:36,720
and death
1379
00:52:34,079 --> 00:52:38,880
um this tumor was irradiated this
1380
00:52:36,719 --> 00:52:40,558
massive discoloration here
1381
00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:43,039
and what happened why you can't cure
1382
00:52:40,559 --> 00:52:44,640
these things with uh surgery um is
1383
00:52:43,039 --> 00:52:46,400
because the tumor cells have already
1384
00:52:44,639 --> 00:52:48,239
spread through the whole brain and these
1385
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:50,318
dark purple cells that you see on the
1386
00:52:48,239 --> 00:52:52,879
right here in this image these are the
1387
00:52:50,318 --> 00:52:55,119
tumor cells around blood vessels and
1388
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:57,599
they use the blood vessels as a railway
1389
00:52:55,119 --> 00:52:59,280
system to move through the entire brain
1390
00:52:57,599 --> 00:53:01,200
so even the surgeon could take see well
1391
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:02,720
we got night we get most of it of course
1392
00:53:01,199 --> 00:53:04,159
but you didn't get all of it and the
1393
00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:05,118
olive and the rest of it is out through
1394
00:53:04,159 --> 00:53:08,159
the brain
1395
00:53:05,119 --> 00:53:09,599
and um and then it'll come back
1396
00:53:08,159 --> 00:53:10,719
uh always
1397
00:53:09,599 --> 00:53:13,200
um
1398
00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:15,598
and here's the survival statistics
1399
00:53:13,199 --> 00:53:18,480
of glioblastoma patients
1400
00:53:15,599 --> 00:53:20,480
um under current standards of care from
1401
00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:22,559
five canadians canadian surgical
1402
00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:24,240
institutions but i want to tell you this
1403
00:53:22,559 --> 00:53:27,920
is not unique for these five
1404
00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:30,159
institutions it's seen in every major
1405
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:33,280
oncology clinic throughout the world the
1406
00:53:30,159 --> 00:53:34,960
survival is abysmal this is 40 months
1407
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:37,680
and you can see most of the patients in
1408
00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:40,318
these institutions have expired uh
1409
00:53:37,679 --> 00:53:42,960
before 40 months
1410
00:53:40,318 --> 00:53:45,679
this one institution i i don't know this
1411
00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:48,000
seems to be if the patients die faster
1412
00:53:45,679 --> 00:53:49,440
in that institution but the other four
1413
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:50,800
but this is pretty much similar all
1414
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:53,358
throughout the world in all different
1415
00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:56,240
clinics um
1416
00:53:53,358 --> 00:53:59,119
you know this there's no improvement in
1417
00:53:56,239 --> 00:54:03,118
in survival for glioblastoma in almost
1418
00:53:59,119 --> 00:54:05,680
100 years 1926 they they they had the
1419
00:54:03,119 --> 00:54:08,559
same survival for glioblastoma as we
1420
00:54:05,679 --> 00:54:11,039
have now in 20 and 20 22. now think
1421
00:54:08,559 --> 00:54:14,400
about it for a minute think of all of
1422
00:54:11,039 --> 00:54:17,119
the advances in science and technology
1423
00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:18,720
that have occurred over the last 100
1424
00:54:17,119 --> 00:54:21,039
years okay
1425
00:54:18,719 --> 00:54:23,279
so we have the web telescope which is
1426
00:54:21,039 --> 00:54:25,599
now orbiting one million miles from
1427
00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:28,480
earth uh uh
1428
00:54:25,599 --> 00:54:31,760
uh which is looking now at the origin of
1429
00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:33,920
the universe uh with this new type of
1430
00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:35,839
telescope the science and technology
1431
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:38,720
over the last 100 years in almost all
1432
00:54:35,838 --> 00:54:41,279
aspects of our of our society has has
1433
00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:43,919
improved significantly yet
1434
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:46,960
no advance in the survival of gbm and
1435
00:54:43,920 --> 00:54:50,240
what is going on what can account for
1436
00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:52,000
the lack of progress in managing glio in
1437
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:54,000
fact many of the metastatic cancers
1438
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:55,838
we've done a very poor job
1439
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:58,639
and and one of the reasons at least for
1440
00:54:55,838 --> 00:55:01,358
glioblastoma and for others as well
1441
00:54:58,639 --> 00:55:03,519
is the uh the way we treat the tumor
1442
00:55:01,358 --> 00:55:05,519
okay so the patient is diagnosed they do
1443
00:55:03,519 --> 00:55:06,559
surgical debulking and right after
1444
00:55:05,519 --> 00:55:09,199
surgical
1445
00:55:06,559 --> 00:55:10,960
debulking radiotherapy
1446
00:55:09,199 --> 00:55:13,279
is given to the patients and
1447
00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:16,639
radiotherapy breaks apart glucose and
1448
00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:19,599
glutamine um metabolism in the brain
1449
00:55:16,639 --> 00:55:22,400
uh creates massive inflammation uh from
1450
00:55:19,599 --> 00:55:24,318
the surgery as well as the radiation
1451
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:26,000
especially the radiation as when the
1452
00:55:24,318 --> 00:55:28,239
brain is irradiated
1453
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:30,239
the uh head swells your head gets hot
1454
00:55:28,239 --> 00:55:32,000
your brain gets hot you swell so in
1455
00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:35,000
order to reduce the swelling from the
1456
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:35,000
radiation
1457
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:39,760
the stone is steroid which creates
1458
00:55:38,079 --> 00:55:41,839
hyperglycemia
1459
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:43,440
uh hyperglycemia is high blood sugar as
1460
00:55:41,838 --> 00:55:45,519
i said the cancer cell cannot live
1461
00:55:43,440 --> 00:55:47,440
without without sugar so the very
1462
00:55:45,519 --> 00:55:48,639
treatment creates the radiation itself
1463
00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:50,159
creates a high
1464
00:55:48,639 --> 00:55:51,920
increase in blood sugar the
1465
00:55:50,159 --> 00:55:53,838
dexamethasone used to reduce the
1466
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:55,680
swelling creates high blood sugar the
1467
00:55:53,838 --> 00:55:57,358
radiation breaks apart the glutamine
1468
00:55:55,679 --> 00:55:59,519
glutamate cycle freeing up massive
1469
00:55:57,358 --> 00:56:01,440
amounts of glutamine so the two fuels
1470
00:55:59,519 --> 00:56:04,239
that are driving cancer glutamine and
1471
00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:06,159
glucose are produced in large quantities
1472
00:56:04,239 --> 00:56:08,078
by the very procedures used to manage
1473
00:56:06,159 --> 00:56:10,960
the disease not only that these tumor
1474
00:56:08,079 --> 00:56:12,880
cells the glioblastoma tumor cells are
1475
00:56:10,960 --> 00:56:14,400
many patients are infected with human
1476
00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:17,119
cytomegalovirus
1477
00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:19,838
human cytomegalovirus which is acts as a
1478
00:56:17,119 --> 00:56:21,838
turbo charger in the tumor cells to use
1479
00:56:19,838 --> 00:56:24,480
glutamine and glucose
1480
00:56:21,838 --> 00:56:25,358
so the two fuels driving the cancer
1481
00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:26,559
cells
1482
00:56:25,358 --> 00:56:28,719
are
1483
00:56:26,559 --> 00:56:31,839
massively produced by the very therapy
1484
00:56:28,719 --> 00:56:31,838
that's used to treat the disease
1485
00:56:32,318 --> 00:56:35,358
okay
1486
00:56:33,599 --> 00:56:36,480
which can which now can which now
1487
00:56:35,358 --> 00:56:40,000
explains
1488
00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:41,358
uh the problem so um you don't survive
1489
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:43,039
but there's two reasons first of all the
1490
00:56:41,358 --> 00:56:44,719
tumor is bad by itself there's no
1491
00:56:43,039 --> 00:56:47,039
question about that and second of all
1492
00:56:44,719 --> 00:56:49,439
the very treatment used to to manage the
1493
00:56:47,039 --> 00:56:51,838
tumor contributes to the rapid demise
1494
00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:54,400
and the rapid acceleration of uh
1495
00:56:51,838 --> 00:56:57,440
patients uh reduced survival
1496
00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:59,680
and um so it's clear why we haven't made
1497
00:56:57,440 --> 00:57:00,880
any progress number one the tumor is bad
1498
00:56:59,679 --> 00:57:02,798
they don't understand that it's a
1499
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:04,318
metabolic disease not a genetic disease
1500
00:57:02,798 --> 00:57:05,920
and the very treatment that we're using
1501
00:57:04,318 --> 00:57:08,000
contributes to the rapid recurrence and
1502
00:57:05,920 --> 00:57:09,760
demise of the patients and as einstein
1503
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:11,599
said insanity is doing the same thing
1504
00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:13,920
over and over and expecting a different
1505
00:57:11,599 --> 00:57:15,519
result as long as we continue to treat
1506
00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:18,240
the patients in the clinic the way we
1507
00:57:15,519 --> 00:57:20,480
are treating them this survival curve
1508
00:57:18,239 --> 00:57:22,798
will not change this will be the way it
1509
00:57:20,480 --> 00:57:25,358
is for well into the future as long as
1510
00:57:22,798 --> 00:57:27,920
we can continue to do what we're doing
1511
00:57:25,358 --> 00:57:31,119
in the way we try to manage the disease
1512
00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:33,280
so um to give you an idea of how we use
1513
00:57:31,119 --> 00:57:35,440
press pulse therapy to manage um
1514
00:57:33,280 --> 00:57:37,200
pre-clinical glioblastoma
1515
00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:38,960
we have this tumor that we have in the
1516
00:57:37,199 --> 00:57:40,879
mouse that replicates all of the
1517
00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:43,358
invasive characteristics of the human
1518
00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:46,318
glioblastoma powerful tool
1519
00:57:43,358 --> 00:57:49,199
um we've tested our hypothesis that they
1520
00:57:46,318 --> 00:57:51,838
come that the the that the targeting of
1521
00:57:49,199 --> 00:57:54,399
glutamine and glucose together will
1522
00:57:51,838 --> 00:57:57,119
provide a rational approach for the
1523
00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:58,960
long-term management of the disease and
1524
00:57:57,119 --> 00:58:01,440
we published this paper in commun
1525
00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:03,679
communications biology this is the first
1526
00:58:01,440 --> 00:58:06,838
paper study showing how we can use a
1527
00:58:03,679 --> 00:58:09,519
diet and a drug together to target
1528
00:58:06,838 --> 00:58:11,920
simultaneously the availability of the
1529
00:58:09,519 --> 00:58:14,400
glucose and glutamine the two fuels
1530
00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:16,318
absolutely essential for the growth of
1531
00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:18,639
the tumor cells okay
1532
00:58:16,318 --> 00:58:21,679
so here's the histology
1533
00:58:18,639 --> 00:58:25,358
just so you can see how powerful this is
1534
00:58:21,679 --> 00:58:28,239
a standard diet unrestricted sdur
1535
00:58:25,358 --> 00:58:30,880
is the mice that ate a high carbohydrate
1536
00:58:28,239 --> 00:58:33,199
standard diet the ketogenic diet
1537
00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:36,318
restricted is the high fat low
1538
00:58:33,199 --> 00:58:39,039
carbohydrate diet presented and fed in
1539
00:58:36,318 --> 00:58:41,679
restrict amounts and the ketogenic diet
1540
00:58:39,039 --> 00:58:44,079
restricted plus don and that's the the
1541
00:58:41,679 --> 00:58:46,879
the previous drug that i want to show
1542
00:58:44,079 --> 00:58:49,519
you here it is six diazo
1543
00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:52,000
nor leucine this drug was used in the
1544
00:58:49,519 --> 00:58:53,759
cancer clinic years ago it wasn't
1545
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:55,519
considered it was really good in
1546
00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:57,440
children with leukemia
1547
00:58:55,519 --> 00:58:58,559
but it wasn't so good in other
1548
00:58:57,440 --> 00:59:00,720
cancers
1549
00:58:58,559 --> 00:59:02,720
they said it had toxicity
1550
00:59:00,719 --> 00:59:04,719
um and it wasn't able to resolve cancer
1551
00:59:02,719 --> 00:59:06,318
well you never targeted the glucose and
1552
00:59:04,719 --> 00:59:08,239
they gave the drug in very high
1553
00:59:06,318 --> 00:59:10,079
concentrations so you have to know what
1554
00:59:08,239 --> 00:59:12,479
to do you can't just do stuff without
1555
00:59:10,079 --> 00:59:14,720
understanding the biology of the disease
1556
00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:17,039
so we combined the glutamine inhibitor
1557
00:59:14,719 --> 00:59:21,279
together with the ketogenic restricted
1558
00:59:17,039 --> 00:59:25,039
diet uh to achieve uh remarkable success
1559
00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:26,480
in managing uh this glioblastoma so here
1560
00:59:25,039 --> 00:59:28,239
now if you look at here you see this
1561
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:31,199
dark blue on the left those are the
1562
00:59:28,239 --> 00:59:33,759
rapidly growing uh glioblastoma cells
1563
00:59:31,199 --> 00:59:36,399
and they're coming migrating invading
1564
00:59:33,760 --> 00:59:38,480
they're invading deeply into the white
1565
00:59:36,400 --> 00:59:40,400
part of the normal part of the brain and
1566
00:59:38,480 --> 00:59:42,240
when you look at them at a higher power
1567
00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:44,079
you can see the cells are piled on top
1568
00:59:42,239 --> 00:59:45,838
of each other they can't they can't
1569
00:59:44,079 --> 00:59:47,119
gross they can't grow any faster than
1570
00:59:45,838 --> 00:59:49,039
they are growing
1571
00:59:47,119 --> 00:59:51,200
now you give them the ketogenic diet by
1572
00:59:49,039 --> 00:59:54,318
itself and you see the white that
1573
00:59:51,199 --> 00:59:56,480
there's much less density and they're
1574
00:59:54,318 --> 00:59:58,798
not invading as much into the normal
1575
00:59:56,480 --> 01:00:01,838
part of the brain this is the the wider
1576
00:59:58,798 --> 01:00:03,838
area and you'll see spacing so the cells
1577
01:00:01,838 --> 01:00:06,078
are there they're dividing they're still
1578
01:00:03,838 --> 01:00:08,000
growing but they're not growing as fast
1579
01:00:06,079 --> 01:00:10,318
so the restricted ketogenic diet which
1580
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:13,280
is targeting glucose is causing the
1581
01:00:10,318 --> 01:00:15,599
cells to grow less aggressively
1582
01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:18,240
but now when you combine the diet with
1583
01:00:15,599 --> 01:00:20,400
the drug oh this is all dead cells these
1584
01:00:18,239 --> 01:00:21,199
are all the tumor cells that are now
1585
01:00:20,400 --> 01:00:24,240
dead
1586
01:00:21,199 --> 01:00:26,318
um massive death of the tumor cells so
1587
01:00:24,239 --> 01:00:28,719
you slaughtered these tumor cells so
1588
01:00:26,318 --> 01:00:30,960
they cannot survive without the glucose
1589
01:00:28,719 --> 01:00:33,358
and the glutamine the diet targets the
1590
01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:36,000
glucose the drug don targets the
1591
01:00:33,358 --> 01:00:38,318
glutamine and together you can slaughter
1592
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:39,519
and and remove these tumor cells get rid
1593
01:00:38,318 --> 01:00:41,279
of them
1594
01:00:39,519 --> 01:00:43,519
and here the most important thing if any
1595
01:00:41,280 --> 01:00:44,319
cancer therapy and treatment is two
1596
01:00:43,519 --> 01:00:47,280
things
1597
01:00:44,318 --> 01:00:49,279
quality of life and overall survival
1598
01:00:47,280 --> 01:00:51,839
that's the that's how you determine
1599
01:00:49,280 --> 01:00:53,280
whether or not something is working if
1600
01:00:51,838 --> 01:00:55,119
you take drugs and things and you say
1601
01:00:53,280 --> 01:00:57,119
well my tumor is shrinking but i feel
1602
01:00:55,119 --> 01:00:59,519
i'm sick all the time and they feel
1603
01:00:57,119 --> 01:00:59,519
horrible
1604
01:01:02,239 --> 01:01:07,439
you really want quality
1605
01:01:04,719 --> 01:01:09,598
and overall survival so this is what we
1606
01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:11,519
have demonstrated by using press pulse
1607
01:01:09,599 --> 01:01:13,519
uh diet drug combination so this blue
1608
01:01:11,519 --> 01:01:15,440
line here look how fast the mice will
1609
01:01:13,519 --> 01:01:18,559
die if just allowed to eat the high
1610
01:01:15,440 --> 01:01:20,159
carbohydrate diet so you can see uh very
1611
01:01:18,559 --> 01:01:22,240
quickly just like that of course the
1612
01:01:20,159 --> 01:01:24,000
most metabolic rate is seven times
1613
01:01:22,239 --> 01:01:25,838
faster than that of a human so you can
1614
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:27,838
see them they die very quickly over a
1615
01:01:25,838 --> 01:01:30,239
few days whereas the humans you saw they
1616
01:01:27,838 --> 01:01:31,838
they don't survive much beyond um you
1617
01:01:30,239 --> 01:01:33,358
know three in the case of humans three
1618
01:01:31,838 --> 01:01:36,239
years in the gbm
1619
01:01:33,358 --> 01:01:38,400
um but now you take okay so the the guys
1620
01:01:36,239 --> 01:01:39,519
eating high carb diets die quick because
1621
01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:41,680
they have plenty of glucose and
1622
01:01:39,519 --> 01:01:43,358
glutamine the guys getting the ketogenic
1623
01:01:41,679 --> 01:01:44,960
diet restricted live a little bit longer
1624
01:01:43,358 --> 01:01:46,239
but they all die too
1625
01:01:44,960 --> 01:01:47,920
so you're you're shutting down the
1626
01:01:46,239 --> 01:01:49,838
glucose but not the gluten
1627
01:01:47,920 --> 01:01:51,599
then you use the high carbohydrate with
1628
01:01:49,838 --> 01:01:52,880
don the glutamine inhibitor they survive
1629
01:01:51,599 --> 01:01:54,000
a little bit better but they're all dead
1630
01:01:52,880 --> 01:01:55,838
as well
1631
01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:57,358
now you paint you take the diet and the
1632
01:01:55,838 --> 01:01:59,358
drug together and you get long-term
1633
01:01:57,358 --> 01:02:01,598
survival the qual these guys look very
1634
01:01:59,358 --> 01:02:03,358
healthy and now with dosas timing and
1635
01:02:01,599 --> 01:02:05,440
scheduling we're keeping these guys
1636
01:02:03,358 --> 01:02:08,000
alive much longer and it really works
1637
01:02:05,440 --> 01:02:10,400
well against pediatric glioblastoma
1638
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:12,318
these very deadly childhood brain tumors
1639
01:02:10,400 --> 01:02:15,280
i'm telling you this diet drug
1640
01:02:12,318 --> 01:02:17,358
combination is really very effective
1641
01:02:15,280 --> 01:02:18,960
non-toxic and can keep the why because
1642
01:02:17,358 --> 01:02:21,279
we're targeting the very
1643
01:02:18,960 --> 01:02:23,199
the nature of what the tumors need
1644
01:02:21,280 --> 01:02:25,200
so and the other uh remarkable
1645
01:02:23,199 --> 01:02:26,719
phenomenon that we found is that when
1646
01:02:25,199 --> 01:02:29,358
you deliver
1647
01:02:26,719 --> 01:02:32,239
the drug don together with the ketogenic
1648
01:02:29,358 --> 01:02:34,159
diet this is electro
1649
01:02:32,239 --> 01:02:37,038
liquid chromatography mass spectral
1650
01:02:34,159 --> 01:02:39,440
analysis of the drug in the in the in
1651
01:02:37,039 --> 01:02:41,839
the brain uh near the tumor and what you
1652
01:02:39,440 --> 01:02:44,159
see here is that uh you get much more
1653
01:02:41,838 --> 01:02:46,318
drug on target when you deliver the drug
1654
01:02:44,159 --> 01:02:48,960
with the ketogenic diet restricted so
1655
01:02:46,318 --> 01:02:51,119
this is really uh really remarkable so
1656
01:02:48,960 --> 01:02:54,400
the the ketogenic diet
1657
01:02:51,119 --> 01:02:55,838
facilitates drug delivery to the tumor
1658
01:02:54,400 --> 01:02:57,680
now let's see what happens when we try
1659
01:02:55,838 --> 01:03:00,480
it on human okay let's see let's do
1660
01:02:57,679 --> 01:03:03,358
press pulse therapy uh for the metabolic
1661
01:03:00,480 --> 01:03:05,760
management of glioblastoma in a patient
1662
01:03:03,358 --> 01:03:06,480
so this young man came into the clinic
1663
01:03:05,760 --> 01:03:09,200
and
1664
01:03:06,480 --> 01:03:11,440
my colleague dr elsaka from alexandria
1665
01:03:09,199 --> 01:03:13,838
egypt uh read our work and said oh we
1666
01:03:11,440 --> 01:03:16,960
have to definitely do metabolic therapy
1667
01:03:13,838 --> 01:03:19,199
for uh patients in the clinic so he said
1668
01:03:16,960 --> 01:03:21,199
uh uh okay so we looked at this young
1669
01:03:19,199 --> 01:03:22,719
man he was a corn farmer he came in to
1670
01:03:21,199 --> 01:03:24,239
the clinic and his whole left side of
1671
01:03:22,719 --> 01:03:26,719
his body was
1672
01:03:24,239 --> 01:03:28,318
paralyzed his leg didn't work his left
1673
01:03:26,719 --> 01:03:30,879
leg and his arm and he had a
1674
01:03:28,318 --> 01:03:33,440
glioblastoma on mri
1675
01:03:30,880 --> 01:03:35,599
imaging analysis so the patient was
1676
01:03:33,440 --> 01:03:37,519
fasted water only for three days and
1677
01:03:35,599 --> 01:03:41,359
then for 21 days given a very low
1678
01:03:37,519 --> 01:03:44,000
carbohydrate diet uh 900 kilocalories
1679
01:03:41,358 --> 01:03:46,719
and then the tumor was so we had three
1680
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:49,039
weeks of a little over three weeks of of
1681
01:03:46,719 --> 01:03:52,399
metabolic treatment and then his tumor
1682
01:03:49,039 --> 01:03:55,119
was removed in an awake cradiotomy and
1683
01:03:52,400 --> 01:03:57,519
when he was when he recovered
1684
01:03:55,119 --> 01:04:00,000
um he was continued to
1685
01:03:57,519 --> 01:04:02,880
give intermittent fasting uh restricted
1686
01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:05,199
diets with hyperbaric oxygen therapy
1687
01:04:02,880 --> 01:04:06,798
um uh for
1688
01:04:05,199 --> 01:04:08,719
for three months
1689
01:04:06,798 --> 01:04:10,559
he was doing remarkably well i mean he
1690
01:04:08,719 --> 01:04:13,038
was back walking you know he was up and
1691
01:04:10,559 --> 01:04:16,160
around he was back home
1692
01:04:13,039 --> 01:04:18,559
then he had to go do this radiation
1693
01:04:16,159 --> 01:04:20,558
so i said to dr elsaka why are we doing
1694
01:04:18,559 --> 01:04:22,640
radiation on this patient
1695
01:04:20,559 --> 01:04:24,160
when he's doing so well and he said well
1696
01:04:22,639 --> 01:04:26,239
this is the standard of care we have to
1697
01:04:24,159 --> 01:04:27,759
do this we have no choice uh whether
1698
01:04:26,239 --> 01:04:29,679
whether you're in any clinic in the
1699
01:04:27,760 --> 01:04:32,319
united states or
1700
01:04:29,679 --> 01:04:34,159
anywhere in the world they do radiation
1701
01:04:32,318 --> 01:04:37,838
and chemo and the chemo is tendozolamide
1702
01:04:34,159 --> 01:04:39,679
tnz a toxic alkylating agent so we get
1703
01:04:37,838 --> 01:04:41,440
but we still kept them on the diet did
1704
01:04:39,679 --> 01:04:44,399
hyperbaric oxygen radiation and
1705
01:04:41,440 --> 01:04:46,480
temozolomide um for nine months over a
1706
01:04:44,400 --> 01:04:48,000
nine month period
1707
01:04:46,480 --> 01:04:49,920
and then he went back after the
1708
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:52,079
treatment uh three months on a low
1709
01:04:49,920 --> 01:04:53,680
carbohydrate he was doing great mris
1710
01:04:52,079 --> 01:04:56,160
everything looked everything looked
1711
01:04:53,679 --> 01:04:58,318
pretty good he he handled all of these
1712
01:04:56,159 --> 01:05:00,558
treatments uh really well
1713
01:04:58,318 --> 01:05:02,880
um and as you can see here the glucose
1714
01:05:00,559 --> 01:05:05,519
ketone index we brought it down into the
1715
01:05:02,880 --> 01:05:07,358
therapeutic zone 15 months he was doing
1716
01:05:05,519 --> 01:05:08,639
really well here's the tumor in his
1717
01:05:07,358 --> 01:05:10,400
brain
1718
01:05:08,639 --> 01:05:12,558
um you can see the tumor here this white
1719
01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:14,720
part and you can see the big shift to
1720
01:05:12,559 --> 01:05:16,480
the right the midline shift the red line
1721
01:05:14,719 --> 01:05:18,318
is shifted from the tumor but as the
1722
01:05:16,480 --> 01:05:20,400
tumor begins to shrink from the
1723
01:05:18,318 --> 01:05:22,719
treatment the midline shift straightens
1724
01:05:20,400 --> 01:05:24,798
out uh yeah he went back the guy was
1725
01:05:22,719 --> 01:05:27,199
doing really well he was back out in the
1726
01:05:24,798 --> 01:05:28,960
farm uh doing his uh
1727
01:05:27,199 --> 01:05:32,399
work in the in the corn he was a corn
1728
01:05:28,960 --> 01:05:34,798
farmer and then at about um i think it
1729
01:05:32,400 --> 01:05:37,599
was 28 29 months
1730
01:05:34,798 --> 01:05:38,480
uh he started to complain of headaches
1731
01:05:37,599 --> 01:05:41,039
um
1732
01:05:38,480 --> 01:05:43,358
and then unfortunately at 30 months the
1733
01:05:41,039 --> 01:05:44,799
patient uh expired
1734
01:05:43,358 --> 01:05:48,000
and uh
1735
01:05:44,798 --> 01:05:50,639
they did a an autopsy and and they found
1736
01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:53,679
that his brain uh it was called uh
1737
01:05:50,639 --> 01:05:56,318
radiation uh radiation necrosis
1738
01:05:53,679 --> 01:05:58,318
liquefication so he seemed to died from
1739
01:05:56,318 --> 01:06:00,480
liquefaction of his brain from the
1740
01:05:58,318 --> 01:06:02,239
radiation treatment uh the pathologist
1741
01:06:00,480 --> 01:06:04,719
said he didn't see tumor cells so it
1742
01:06:02,239 --> 01:06:07,919
looked like it was all radiation damage
1743
01:06:04,719 --> 01:06:08,798
um so that's when we decided to
1744
01:06:07,920 --> 01:06:10,159
uh
1745
01:06:08,798 --> 01:06:12,400
uh
1746
01:06:10,159 --> 01:06:12,399
uh
1747
01:06:13,599 --> 01:06:16,880
maybe
1748
01:06:15,199 --> 01:06:18,480
therapy should become the standard of
1749
01:06:16,880 --> 01:06:20,559
care for glioblastoma
1750
01:06:18,480 --> 01:06:22,480
rather than toxic radiation and what
1751
01:06:20,559 --> 01:06:24,798
they're presently doing and i published
1752
01:06:22,480 --> 01:06:26,639
this paper with my colleagues uh clearly
1753
01:06:24,798 --> 01:06:28,719
clearly documenting how the standard of
1754
01:06:26,639 --> 01:06:30,960
care is actually contributing to the
1755
01:06:28,719 --> 01:06:33,038
rapid recurrence and growth of the tumor
1756
01:06:30,960 --> 01:06:34,880
leading to the demise of the patients
1757
01:06:33,039 --> 01:06:37,359
and why we're not making any major
1758
01:06:34,880 --> 01:06:39,920
progress in managing glioblastoma
1759
01:06:37,358 --> 01:06:43,920
because we continue to use the same uh
1760
01:06:39,920 --> 01:06:45,920
treatment that uh facilitates the re uh
1761
01:06:43,920 --> 01:06:47,440
that facilitates the presence of glucose
1762
01:06:45,920 --> 01:06:49,039
and glutamine and if you don't target
1763
01:06:47,440 --> 01:06:51,358
glucose and glutamine these tumor cells
1764
01:06:49,039 --> 01:06:53,039
will grow will always grow very rapidly
1765
01:06:51,358 --> 01:06:54,239
so it's my opinion that the replacement
1766
01:06:53,039 --> 01:06:56,240
of the current standard of care
1767
01:06:54,239 --> 01:06:58,159
radiation and chemo with ketogenic
1768
01:06:56,239 --> 01:07:01,358
metabolic therapy will improve quality
1769
01:06:58,159 --> 01:07:02,318
of life and overall survival of most gbm
1770
01:07:01,358 --> 01:07:03,759
patients
1771
01:07:02,318 --> 01:07:05,759
okay
1772
01:07:03,760 --> 01:07:07,520
and now we'll look at individual uh
1773
01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:09,839
pictures i've shown this before uh
1774
01:07:07,519 --> 01:07:11,920
brittany maynard uh interestingly enough
1775
01:07:09,838 --> 01:07:15,038
she was diagnosed with glioblastoma in
1776
01:07:11,920 --> 01:07:17,039
january uh 14 2014
1777
01:07:15,039 --> 01:07:19,359
she also at first when they did the
1778
01:07:17,039 --> 01:07:20,400
biopsy that said so she had a low-grade
1779
01:07:19,358 --> 01:07:21,598
tumor
1780
01:07:20,400 --> 01:07:23,599
that's really good because you're
1781
01:07:21,599 --> 01:07:26,880
supposed to live much longer with a
1782
01:07:23,599 --> 01:07:28,960
low-grade stage two but they uh
1783
01:07:26,880 --> 01:07:32,400
one month after they did the biopsy the
1784
01:07:28,960 --> 01:07:34,240
tumor exploded into a glioblastoma um
1785
01:07:32,400 --> 01:07:37,358
and that's what i call uh the influence
1786
01:07:34,239 --> 01:07:39,118
of inflammatory oncotaxis you disturb
1787
01:07:37,358 --> 01:07:42,480
the microenvironment causing the tumor
1788
01:07:39,119 --> 01:07:43,280
to explode into a glioblastoma
1789
01:07:42,480 --> 01:07:44,880
um
1790
01:07:43,280 --> 01:07:46,880
you know she here here's her picture
1791
01:07:44,880 --> 01:07:48,880
right after she got married she was a
1792
01:07:46,880 --> 01:07:50,318
big article in people magazine my
1793
01:07:48,880 --> 01:07:53,039
decision to die
1794
01:07:50,318 --> 01:07:55,199
uh she was from california she oregon
1795
01:07:53,039 --> 01:07:57,760
this no the state the next state up
1796
01:07:55,199 --> 01:07:59,919
north um has a right to die death with
1797
01:07:57,760 --> 01:08:03,039
dignity so you're allowed to take your
1798
01:07:59,920 --> 01:08:05,039
own life uh if you are confronted with a
1799
01:08:03,039 --> 01:08:08,400
terminal uh disease
1800
01:08:05,039 --> 01:08:11,119
uh like she was with glioblastoma so
1801
01:08:08,400 --> 01:08:13,838
here she is uh uh
1802
01:08:11,119 --> 01:08:15,599
before she died and you can see her face
1803
01:08:13,838 --> 01:08:17,920
doesn't look like it looks here this
1804
01:08:15,599 --> 01:08:19,759
swollenness is from high dose steroids
1805
01:08:17,920 --> 01:08:22,239
it's called moon face and that's a
1806
01:08:19,759 --> 01:08:24,719
characteristic that this young lady was
1807
01:08:22,238 --> 01:08:27,039
given high-dose steroids to try to
1808
01:08:24,719 --> 01:08:28,798
reduce the inflammation in her brain and
1809
01:08:27,039 --> 01:08:31,119
we know that high-dose steroids will
1810
01:08:28,798 --> 01:08:33,679
increase the level of glucose so that
1811
01:08:31,119 --> 01:08:36,880
it's actually driving the growth of her
1812
01:08:33,679 --> 01:08:39,359
tumor uh in an attempt to reduce the
1813
01:08:36,880 --> 01:08:41,679
inflammation and this is another
1814
01:08:39,359 --> 01:08:44,719
tragic case danny sheehan he just
1815
01:08:41,679 --> 01:08:47,520
recently passed away in 2021 he was a
1816
01:08:44,719 --> 01:08:49,920
young man from here near boston and uh
1817
01:08:47,520 --> 01:08:53,199
he had a pineal blastoma
1818
01:08:49,920 --> 01:08:55,279
which is similar to adult glioblastoma
1819
01:08:53,198 --> 01:08:57,678
but it occurs in kids and he was
1820
01:08:55,279 --> 01:09:00,000
diagnosed in 2017
1821
01:08:57,679 --> 01:09:02,480
uh with this tumor and you can see him
1822
01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:04,798
shortly before he died his face is
1823
01:09:02,479 --> 01:09:06,479
completely swollen from the steroids the
1824
01:09:04,798 --> 01:09:07,920
high dose steroids that they gave to
1825
01:09:06,479 --> 01:09:10,158
this little guy
1826
01:09:07,920 --> 01:09:11,759
in an attempt to reduce the inflammation
1827
01:09:10,158 --> 01:09:14,158
and we know that the high dose steroids
1828
01:09:11,759 --> 01:09:15,838
will contribute to the rapid uh tumor
1829
01:09:14,158 --> 01:09:18,479
growth
1830
01:09:15,838 --> 01:09:21,838
now here's another case this is pablo
1831
01:09:18,479 --> 01:09:22,879
kelly we published this paper last year
1832
01:09:21,838 --> 01:09:24,960
pablo
1833
01:09:22,880 --> 01:09:28,000
uh contact he also was diagnosed with
1834
01:09:24,960 --> 01:09:30,399
terminal glioblastoma in 2014 just like
1835
01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:30,399
brittany
1836
01:09:30,560 --> 01:09:34,798
he he went to the clinic he was having
1837
01:09:33,198 --> 01:09:35,678
seizures and headaches and things like
1838
01:09:34,798 --> 01:09:37,679
this
1839
01:09:35,679 --> 01:09:40,079
and they said uh they did the histology
1840
01:09:37,679 --> 01:09:41,759
and said you have a glioblastoma a
1841
01:09:40,079 --> 01:09:46,079
terminal uh
1842
01:09:41,759 --> 01:09:48,640
cancer and um but he himself he resisted
1843
01:09:46,079 --> 01:09:50,479
the strong arm tactics of his clinical
1844
01:09:48,640 --> 01:09:51,279
team to do radiation and chemo he said
1845
01:09:50,479 --> 01:09:52,718
no
1846
01:09:51,279 --> 01:09:53,759
i don't want to do that and he said well
1847
01:09:52,719 --> 01:09:56,399
you're going to be dead in nine months
1848
01:09:53,759 --> 01:10:00,479
if you don't do that so no radiation no
1849
01:09:56,399 --> 01:10:02,479
chemo no steroids um so pablo contacted
1850
01:10:00,479 --> 01:10:04,158
me and i said you know i just told him i
1851
01:10:02,479 --> 01:10:07,039
said well you know you can try metabolic
1852
01:10:04,158 --> 01:10:09,279
therapy see what happens um so he he
1853
01:10:07,039 --> 01:10:11,119
shifted he didn't do radiation chemo and
1854
01:10:09,279 --> 01:10:13,679
he went on a very low carb zero
1855
01:10:11,119 --> 01:10:15,359
carbohydrate diet more like a carnivore
1856
01:10:13,679 --> 01:10:18,079
diet actually but it was still quite
1857
01:10:15,359 --> 01:10:20,399
quite low on carbs and now he's still
1858
01:10:18,079 --> 01:10:22,399
living i i he has a webs a web page you
1859
01:10:20,399 --> 01:10:24,799
can talk to pablo and ask him questions
1860
01:10:22,399 --> 01:10:25,920
about you know his his story and what
1861
01:10:24,800 --> 01:10:28,800
he's done
1862
01:10:25,920 --> 01:10:30,560
um he's out now almost 90 months eight
1863
01:10:28,800 --> 01:10:32,960
years i guess will be august he'll be
1864
01:10:30,560 --> 01:10:35,360
out eight year survival um but there's a
1865
01:10:32,960 --> 01:10:38,560
bigger story behind why he's why he's
1866
01:10:35,359 --> 01:10:40,799
alive and uh uh let me tell you about
1867
01:10:38,560 --> 01:10:43,600
this oh so so what pablo did and we have
1868
01:10:40,800 --> 01:10:45,360
five years of detailed uh information on
1869
01:10:43,600 --> 01:10:46,719
how he measured his blood glucose and
1870
01:10:45,359 --> 01:10:48,158
ketones
1871
01:10:46,719 --> 01:10:50,079
many times a day
1872
01:10:48,158 --> 01:10:51,509
several times a week depending on the
1873
01:10:50,079 --> 01:10:53,439
situation
1874
01:10:51,510 --> 01:10:54,320
[Music]
1875
01:10:53,439 --> 01:10:56,639
his
1876
01:10:54,319 --> 01:11:00,238
blood glucose and ketones were managed
1877
01:10:56,640 --> 01:11:02,400
well his gki was 2.0 or below look at he
1878
01:11:00,238 --> 01:11:04,479
was very aggressive now then three years
1879
01:11:02,399 --> 01:11:06,000
after initiating the metabolic therapy
1880
01:11:04,479 --> 01:11:07,839
he decided his tumor continued to grow
1881
01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:10,319
he didn't cure his cancer what we did
1882
01:11:07,840 --> 01:11:13,199
was slow down his the rate of growth and
1883
01:11:10,319 --> 01:11:16,960
by three years after his diagnosis in
1884
01:11:13,198 --> 01:11:18,158
2017 uh he decides to have a debulking
1885
01:11:16,960 --> 01:11:20,560
surgery
1886
01:11:18,158 --> 01:11:23,039
he never had surgery at the beginning
1887
01:11:20,560 --> 01:11:25,120
um he just did metabolic therapy so
1888
01:11:23,039 --> 01:11:27,198
after three years he he reduced the size
1889
01:11:25,119 --> 01:11:28,800
of his tumor he thought he was cured but
1890
01:11:27,198 --> 01:11:30,960
then the tumor started growing again
1891
01:11:28,800 --> 01:11:31,920
slowly and he went back onto metabolic
1892
01:11:30,960 --> 01:11:33,600
therapy
1893
01:11:31,920 --> 01:11:35,279
a carnivore kind of that's not so
1894
01:11:33,600 --> 01:11:36,560
debilitating you know he's eating steaks
1895
01:11:35,279 --> 01:11:38,639
and lamb with butter on it and things
1896
01:11:36,560 --> 01:11:41,520
like this you can talk to him on his web
1897
01:11:38,640 --> 01:11:43,199
page um and then uh the tumor was
1898
01:11:41,520 --> 01:11:45,199
managed and just recently last year he
1899
01:11:43,198 --> 01:11:47,839
had a second debulking surgery
1900
01:11:45,198 --> 01:11:50,399
and um you know he's going through these
1901
01:11:47,840 --> 01:11:52,880
procedures uh but he's still alive and
1902
01:11:50,399 --> 01:11:56,079
he has a good quali generally a good
1903
01:11:52,880 --> 01:11:58,079
quality of life and uh he did metabolic
1904
01:11:56,079 --> 01:12:01,679
therapy alone now the here's the
1905
01:11:58,079 --> 01:12:03,198
situation and i know this is complicated
1906
01:12:01,679 --> 01:12:05,279
but there's several reasons for why
1907
01:12:03,198 --> 01:12:07,759
pablo is still alive with the terminal
1908
01:12:05,279 --> 01:12:09,759
glioblastoma number one he rejected
1909
01:12:07,760 --> 01:12:11,440
standard of care okay that's number one
1910
01:12:09,760 --> 01:12:14,239
number two he went on a metabolic
1911
01:12:11,439 --> 01:12:17,439
therapy uh number three his tumor had
1912
01:12:14,238 --> 01:12:20,079
this mutation called idh1 mutation
1913
01:12:17,439 --> 01:12:23,279
this is a uh i call it a gift from god
1914
01:12:20,079 --> 01:12:26,000
uh it's a it's just a a
1915
01:12:23,279 --> 01:12:29,359
a random mutation but the mutation acts
1916
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:31,920
as a drug that targets the glycolysis
1917
01:12:29,359 --> 01:12:33,679
and glutaminolysis pathways so it's a
1918
01:12:31,920 --> 01:12:34,960
therapeutic
1919
01:12:33,679 --> 01:12:36,800
mutation that some people with
1920
01:12:34,960 --> 01:12:38,640
glioblastomas get
1921
01:12:36,800 --> 01:12:41,039
uh it's not known
1922
01:12:38,640 --> 01:12:43,360
how or why but the but the ass but the
1923
01:12:41,039 --> 01:12:44,719
answer is is that we know that that
1924
01:12:43,359 --> 01:12:48,000
mutation
1925
01:12:44,719 --> 01:12:50,880
uh uh restricts the glycolytic pathway
1926
01:12:48,000 --> 01:12:52,560
and the glutamineolysis pathway thereby
1927
01:12:50,880 --> 01:12:55,279
shutting down the availability of
1928
01:12:52,560 --> 01:12:56,719
glucose and glutamine to the tumor this
1929
01:12:55,279 --> 01:12:59,359
together with his young age this
1930
01:12:56,719 --> 01:13:02,960
together with his metabolic therapy
1931
01:12:59,359 --> 01:13:05,039
altogether are keeping him alive um for
1932
01:13:02,960 --> 01:13:07,439
all these different reasons so
1933
01:13:05,039 --> 01:13:10,399
our bodies naturally can can randomly
1934
01:13:07,439 --> 01:13:11,839
produce or acquire acquire a mutation
1935
01:13:10,399 --> 01:13:13,839
that actually acts as a drug and
1936
01:13:11,840 --> 01:13:15,360
together with the diet i mean we put it
1937
01:13:13,840 --> 01:13:18,079
all together and this guy is just very
1938
01:13:15,359 --> 01:13:20,639
fortunate to not take radiation to chemo
1939
01:13:18,079 --> 01:13:22,238
and to be very fortunate in acquiring a
1940
01:13:20,640 --> 01:13:23,600
mutation that acts as a drug targeting
1941
01:13:22,238 --> 01:13:26,158
glucose and glutamine if you can believe
1942
01:13:23,600 --> 01:13:27,679
it so uh gbm and other stage four
1943
01:13:26,158 --> 01:13:29,839
cancers should not be considered
1944
01:13:27,679 --> 01:13:31,520
terminal if treated with ketogenic
1945
01:13:29,840 --> 01:13:32,960
metabolic therapy this gives the
1946
01:13:31,520 --> 01:13:35,840
opportunity
1947
01:13:32,960 --> 01:13:35,840
for patients to
1948
01:13:37,760 --> 01:13:41,280
uh
1949
01:13:38,960 --> 01:13:43,119
and and overall potentially overall
1950
01:13:41,279 --> 01:13:45,198
better survival
1951
01:13:43,119 --> 01:13:46,559
so i might the paper that we wrote can
1952
01:13:45,198 --> 01:13:47,839
the mitochondrial metabolic theory
1953
01:13:46,560 --> 01:13:49,440
explain better the origin of management
1954
01:13:47,840 --> 01:13:51,840
of cancer than the somatic mutation
1955
01:13:49,439 --> 01:13:52,879
theory absolutely uh you read this paper
1956
01:13:51,840 --> 01:13:54,239
i understand it could be kind of
1957
01:13:52,880 --> 01:13:56,880
difficult there's some scientific
1958
01:13:54,238 --> 01:13:57,919
literacy that's required but we set up
1959
01:13:56,880 --> 01:14:00,800
the thing
1960
01:13:57,920 --> 01:14:02,960
so the geocentric theory says that the
1961
01:14:00,800 --> 01:14:05,039
earth is the center of the solar system
1962
01:14:02,960 --> 01:14:06,560
the sun and all the planets revolve
1963
01:14:05,039 --> 01:14:09,039
around the earth
1964
01:14:06,560 --> 01:14:12,159
um as you can see this was complicated
1965
01:14:09,039 --> 01:14:14,719
for centuries the the orbitals were
1966
01:14:12,158 --> 01:14:16,879
there were very confusing
1967
01:14:14,719 --> 01:14:19,279
but when the sun was placed in the
1968
01:14:16,880 --> 01:14:21,600
center of the solar system the orbits of
1969
01:14:19,279 --> 01:14:23,679
all the planets made a much greater
1970
01:14:21,600 --> 01:14:27,039
amount of sense and could be much more
1971
01:14:23,679 --> 01:14:29,359
easily explained so we we consider the
1972
01:14:27,039 --> 01:14:32,238
geocentric theory comparable to the
1973
01:14:29,359 --> 01:14:34,719
somatic mutation theory a real mess of
1974
01:14:32,238 --> 01:14:37,439
confusion in trying to manage cancer
1975
01:14:34,719 --> 01:14:39,198
because instead of putting the here's
1976
01:14:37,439 --> 01:14:40,399
where the nucleus is the center of the
1977
01:14:39,198 --> 01:14:42,238
disease and here's where the
1978
01:14:40,399 --> 01:14:44,399
mitochondria becomes the center of the
1979
01:14:42,238 --> 01:14:46,879
disease the mitochondrial metabolic
1980
01:14:44,399 --> 01:14:48,639
theory it can explain better the origin
1981
01:14:46,880 --> 01:14:50,960
and management of cancer than can the
1982
01:14:48,640 --> 01:14:53,920
somatic mutation theory so it is not
1983
01:14:50,960 --> 01:14:56,399
clear how many years or decades it will
1984
01:14:53,920 --> 01:14:58,640
take for the cancer field to recognize
1985
01:14:56,399 --> 01:15:00,960
that the mitochondrial metabolic theory
1986
01:14:58,640 --> 01:15:02,320
can explain better the origin and
1987
01:15:00,960 --> 01:15:04,158
management of cancer i don't know how
1988
01:15:02,319 --> 01:15:06,479
long it's going to take
1989
01:15:04,158 --> 01:15:08,479
people just have to know about it
1990
01:15:06,479 --> 01:15:10,559
so the conclusions most cancers
1991
01:15:08,479 --> 01:15:12,319
including glioblastoma and i didn't get
1992
01:15:10,560 --> 01:15:14,560
a chance to talk about breast cancer
1993
01:15:12,319 --> 01:15:16,960
lung cancer colon cancer but they're all
1994
01:15:14,560 --> 01:15:19,120
the cancers are very similar
1995
01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:21,920
they all depend on glucose and glutamine
1996
01:15:19,119 --> 01:15:23,920
cancer is not a genetic disease so you
1997
01:15:21,920 --> 01:15:25,840
have to realize this it's not a genetic
1998
01:15:23,920 --> 01:15:28,000
disease it's a mitochondrial metabolic
1999
01:15:25,840 --> 01:15:29,520
disease relying on substrate-level
2000
01:15:28,000 --> 01:15:32,158
phosphorylation
2001
01:15:29,520 --> 01:15:34,400
for energy this is the whole mark of all
2002
01:15:32,158 --> 01:15:36,319
the major cancers the simultaneous
2003
01:15:34,399 --> 01:15:38,319
restriction of glucose and glutamine
2004
01:15:36,319 --> 01:15:40,719
will help manage most cancers this will
2005
01:15:38,319 --> 01:15:42,319
be the way we manage the press pulse
2006
01:15:40,719 --> 01:15:44,640
metabolic therapy
2007
01:15:42,319 --> 01:15:45,439
is a non-toxic cost-effective strategy
2008
01:15:44,640 --> 01:15:47,119
for the
2009
01:15:45,439 --> 01:15:50,479
uh management possible management of
2010
01:15:47,119 --> 01:15:54,000
most cancers especially uh glioblastoma
2011
01:15:50,479 --> 01:15:56,399
so we now we now have a a pathway
2012
01:15:54,000 --> 01:15:58,158
uh by which we can move forward i don't
2013
01:15:56,399 --> 01:16:00,559
know how long it's going to take for the
2014
01:15:58,158 --> 01:16:04,000
for the field to come to realize this
2015
01:16:00,560 --> 01:16:07,520
um but the takeaways you can uh start
2016
01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:11,039
immediately was recommended by um
2017
01:16:07,520 --> 01:16:13,199
to put as our final slide uh so cancer
2018
01:16:11,039 --> 01:16:14,880
patients and their family members should
2019
01:16:13,198 --> 01:16:17,359
ask these three simple questions of
2020
01:16:14,880 --> 01:16:20,319
their oncologists if anyone is is
2021
01:16:17,359 --> 01:16:23,439
diagnosed with cancer number one is the
2022
01:16:20,319 --> 01:16:25,840
treatment you are proposing for me based
2023
01:16:23,439 --> 01:16:28,479
on is it based on the somatic mutation
2024
01:16:25,840 --> 01:16:30,640
theory or on the mitochondrial metabolic
2025
01:16:28,479 --> 01:16:32,319
theory the oncologist should know this
2026
01:16:30,640 --> 01:16:34,800
will the treatment you are proposing for
2027
01:16:32,319 --> 01:16:36,960
me be able to reduce the availability of
2028
01:16:34,800 --> 01:16:38,880
the two fuels glucose and glutamine that
2029
01:16:36,960 --> 01:16:40,640
are driving the dysregulated growth of
2030
01:16:38,880 --> 01:16:42,480
my cancer
2031
01:16:40,640 --> 01:16:44,880
will the treatment you propose for me be
2032
01:16:42,479 --> 01:16:47,198
able to target my cancer cells while
2033
01:16:44,880 --> 01:16:50,239
enhancing the health and vitality of the
2034
01:16:47,198 --> 01:16:52,319
normal cells and tissues of my body so
2035
01:16:50,238 --> 01:16:54,559
these three questions all cancer
2036
01:16:52,319 --> 01:16:56,079
patients have the opportunity to ask
2037
01:16:54,560 --> 01:16:58,640
their their oncologist because the
2038
01:16:56,079 --> 01:17:01,359
answers to these questions could predict
2039
01:16:58,640 --> 01:17:03,760
the ultimate destiny of the patient
2040
01:17:01,359 --> 01:17:05,279
so i like to acknowledge the many uh
2041
01:17:03,760 --> 01:17:07,679
physicians and scientists who have been
2042
01:17:05,279 --> 01:17:10,479
working with me over the years
2043
01:17:07,679 --> 01:17:10,480
we are attempting
2044
01:17:11,920 --> 01:17:14,399
from metabolic
2045
01:17:13,679 --> 01:17:16,560
uh
2046
01:17:14,399 --> 01:17:19,920
i'm the chinese in china they're very
2047
01:17:16,560 --> 01:17:22,159
excited about this um in venezuela in in
2048
01:17:19,920 --> 01:17:23,679
brazil and many european countries are
2049
01:17:22,158 --> 01:17:25,599
we getting to realize now that cancer is
2050
01:17:23,679 --> 01:17:28,079
a metabolic disease with metabolic
2051
01:17:25,600 --> 01:17:30,719
solutions that can reduce significantly
2052
01:17:28,079 --> 01:17:33,359
toxicity and improve quality of life and
2053
01:17:30,719 --> 01:17:35,520
overall survival and of course you know
2054
01:17:33,359 --> 01:17:37,519
to do our fundamental research we need
2055
01:17:35,520 --> 01:17:40,320
support and the funding we get comes
2056
01:17:37,520 --> 01:17:42,800
from a number of private foundations and
2057
01:17:40,319 --> 01:17:45,679
and and the good the good of individual

um also before we start the q a um if
2083
01:18:43,679 --> 01:18:47,039
anyone wants to follow up with you or
2084
01:18:45,520 --> 01:18:48,400

2085
01:18:47,039 --> 01:18:51,198
to do that
2086
01:18:48,399 --> 01:18:53,198

further information that you might have
2089
01:18:56,238 --> 01:19:00,000
so okay great and we have your your book
2090
01:18:58,158 --> 01:19:00,799
up here too they want to check out our
2091
01:19:00,000 --> 01:19:02,960
site
2092
01:19:00,800 --> 01:19:04,640
um okay
2093
01:19:02,960 --> 01:19:06,399
all right so um
2094
01:19:04,640 --> 01:19:08,880
before we get the q a i just wanted to
2095
01:19:06,399 --> 01:19:10,719
explain to everyone um
2096
01:19:08,880 --> 01:19:12,719
basically how we do this we don't take
2097
01:19:10,719 --> 01:19:14,800
questions from the chat normally instead
2098
01:19:12,719 --> 01:19:16,399
we actually want to virtually raise your
2099
01:19:14,800 --> 01:19:19,119
hand um if you're not sure how to do
2100
01:19:16,399 --> 01:19:20,960
this you go to the bottom portion of
2101
01:19:19,119 --> 01:19:23,439
your zoom window and hit the reactions
2102
01:19:20,960 --> 01:19:26,000
tab um from there another window should
2103
01:19:23,439 --> 01:19:29,039
pop up that will have a raised hand eye
2104
01:19:26,000 --> 01:19:30,399
icon you click that and then we will see
2105
01:19:29,039 --> 01:19:32,560
that you have a raised hand in our
2106
01:19:30,399 --> 01:19:34,238
participants window um
2107
01:19:32,560 --> 01:19:35,920
we will take then the questions in the
2108
01:19:34,238 --> 01:19:38,079
order and we should receive them when
2109
01:19:35,920 --> 01:19:39,920
it's your turn we will unmute you and
2110
01:19:38,079 --> 01:19:42,880
prompt you to ask your question
2111
01:19:39,920 --> 01:19:44,319
and uh with that are you ready to start
2112
01:19:42,880 --> 01:19:47,119
the questions doctor
2113
01:19:44,319 --> 01:19:48,840
yeah go ahead great
2114
01:19:47,119 --> 01:19:52,238
okay first we
2115
01:19:48,840 --> 01:19:52,239
have okay
2116
01:19:52,479 --> 01:19:57,678
we have steve
2117
01:19:55,439 --> 01:19:58,799
okay
2118
01:19:57,679 --> 01:20:01,600
yes
2119
01:19:58,800 --> 01:20:04,239
uh hi dr seifried um
2120
01:20:01,600 --> 01:20:05,440
are you you're saying to it that glucose
2121
01:20:04,238 --> 01:20:08,158
is feeding
2122
01:20:05,439 --> 01:20:11,519
cancer so does that mean what does that
2123
01:20:08,158 --> 01:20:14,000
mean in terms of one should we eat fruit
2124
01:20:11,520 --> 01:20:16,560
two should we eat beans because do they
2125
01:20:14,000 --> 01:20:20,479
turn to sugar and three what about whole
2126
01:20:16,560 --> 01:20:20,480
grains because do they turn to sugar
2127
01:20:20,719 --> 01:20:24,800
well they can and some people uh more
2128
01:20:23,119 --> 01:20:26,800
than others i mean you measure your
2129
01:20:24,800 --> 01:20:29,360
glucose ketone index will tell you what
2130
01:20:26,800 --> 01:20:31,119
you can and cannot eat it's very simple
2131
01:20:29,359 --> 01:20:33,279
you get the meter you take your blood
2132
01:20:31,119 --> 01:20:34,960
measurements and if it says that beans
2133
01:20:33,279 --> 01:20:37,198
make your blood sugar go high don't eat
2134
01:20:34,960 --> 01:20:38,480
beans i mean if you can make every
2135
01:20:37,198 --> 01:20:40,879
person can make the decision for
2136
01:20:38,479 --> 01:20:43,119
themselves they got based on their gki
2137
01:20:40,880 --> 01:20:44,800
the glucose ketone index
2138
01:20:43,119 --> 01:20:46,238
what about fruit though
2139
01:20:44,800 --> 01:20:48,880
i don't measure your gki and see what
2140
01:20:46,238 --> 01:20:52,079
happens uh you know uh grapefruit is
2141
01:20:48,880 --> 01:20:53,520
very low glycemic uh uh an orange could
2142
01:20:52,079 --> 01:20:55,519
be much higher
2143
01:20:53,520 --> 01:20:58,239
again measure your gki your answer will
2144
01:20:55,520 --> 01:21:00,239
be given to you by your your gki which
2145
01:20:58,238 --> 01:21:03,039
could vary from one person to the next
2146
01:21:00,238 --> 01:21:03,039
it's not constant
2147
01:21:03,760 --> 01:21:06,800
it won't
2148
01:21:04,960 --> 01:21:08,239
may not be whatever
2149
01:21:06,800 --> 01:21:11,199
so you need to know what you can or
2150
01:21:08,238 --> 01:21:13,039
cannot eat you measure your gki
2151
01:21:11,198 --> 01:21:15,759
thank you
2152
01:21:13,039 --> 01:21:18,479
okay next we have deborah deborah what
2153
01:21:15,760 --> 01:21:21,600
is your question for dr seaford
2154
01:21:18,479 --> 01:21:23,359
hi yes good morning i wanted to ask um i
2155
01:21:21,600 --> 01:21:25,039
understand the difference between when
2156
01:21:23,359 --> 01:21:26,960
you have cancer and don't have cancer
2157
01:21:25,039 --> 01:21:29,600
maybe different protocols but at this
2158
01:21:26,960 --> 01:21:31,439
conference there's of course a lot of
2159
01:21:29,600 --> 01:21:33,440
adoption of
2160
01:21:31,439 --> 01:21:36,399
plant-based um
2161
01:21:33,439 --> 01:21:39,359
and vegans and vegetarian and then
2162
01:21:36,399 --> 01:21:41,279
um today in this talk having someone who
2163
01:21:39,359 --> 01:21:42,799
has cancer and you're promoting or
2164
01:21:41,279 --> 01:21:44,559
saying that part of the treatment would
2165
01:21:42,800 --> 01:21:47,039
be the keto
2166
01:21:44,560 --> 01:21:49,360
and achieving ketosis
2167
01:21:47,039 --> 01:21:51,840
quite often ketosis and keto is
2168
01:21:49,359 --> 01:21:54,839
associated with eating lots of meat and
2169
01:21:51,840 --> 01:21:57,920
vegetable protein so i guess i have two
2170
01:21:54,840 --> 01:21:57,920
questions um
2171
01:21:58,560 --> 01:22:03,039
what i wanted to know i guess is is
2172
01:22:00,560 --> 01:22:06,080
there a way to achieve the ketosis and
2173
01:22:03,039 --> 01:22:08,079
the good results still not eating meat
2174
01:22:06,079 --> 01:22:10,319
or in the event that you get cancer
2175
01:22:08,079 --> 01:22:11,920
forget the vegan stuff just go have a
2176
01:22:10,319 --> 01:22:13,439
hamburger
2177
01:22:11,920 --> 01:22:16,158
no no
2178
01:22:13,439 --> 01:22:18,879
again it's the gki um you can be in
2179
01:22:16,158 --> 01:22:21,679
ketosis on a completely vegan diet or on
2180
01:22:18,880 --> 01:22:23,359
a carnivore diet so again like pablo
2181
01:22:21,679 --> 01:22:25,440
kelly did he was measuring his glucose
2182
01:22:23,359 --> 01:22:28,319
ketone index and he was able to keep it
2183
01:22:25,439 --> 01:22:29,839
2.0 or below someone on a vegan diet
2184
01:22:28,319 --> 01:22:31,359
could do the same thing it's just that
2185
01:22:29,840 --> 01:22:34,159
the food items that will keep you in
2186
01:22:31,359 --> 01:22:35,519
ketosis vary differ
2187
01:22:34,158 --> 01:22:37,599
again it's mostly due to low
2188
01:22:35,520 --> 01:22:38,800
carbohydrate the lower the carbohydrate
2189
01:22:37,600 --> 01:22:41,039
you have in the diet the better you're
2190
01:22:38,800 --> 01:22:43,440
going to have a gki value and again this
2191
01:22:41,039 --> 01:22:45,279
is like the last question uh we can't
2192
01:22:43,439 --> 01:22:47,359
know that for each person unless they do
2193
01:22:45,279 --> 01:22:49,198
their own measurements and we find it
2194
01:22:47,359 --> 01:22:51,279
varies tremendously what one person can
2195
01:22:49,198 --> 01:22:52,960
eat what the other person cannot eat and
2196
01:22:51,279 --> 01:22:54,800
it's all comes down to so if you're
2197
01:22:52,960 --> 01:22:56,639
going to be a vegan or a carnivore or
2198
01:22:54,800 --> 01:22:57,920
whatever as long as you can keep a low
2199
01:22:56,639 --> 01:23:01,520
gki
2200
01:22:57,920 --> 01:23:02,800
uh then that is one way to
2201
01:23:01,520 --> 01:23:07,239
reduce
2202
01:23:02,800 --> 01:23:07,239
the rate of tumor growth
2203
01:23:10,079 --> 01:23:14,399
okay great next we have jaron everyone
2204
01:23:12,479 --> 01:23:15,919
what is your question
2205
01:23:14,399 --> 01:23:18,638

research show that the press false
2209
01:23:24,158 --> 01:23:26,559
metabolic
2210
01:23:25,520 --> 01:23:28,480
therapy
2211
01:23:26,560 --> 01:23:30,480
help also for
2212
01:23:28,479 --> 01:23:33,039
small cell cancer
2213
01:23:30,479 --> 01:23:35,759
and my second question if a patient
2214
01:23:33,039 --> 01:23:37,760
wants to get this treatment of breast
2215
01:23:35,760 --> 01:23:40,480
pulse metabolic therapy
2216
01:23:37,760 --> 01:23:43,920
where he can find it and is it available
2217
01:23:40,479 --> 01:23:46,638

2219
01:23:46,639 --> 01:23:50,800
yeah it works it it all the cancers all
2220
01:23:49,039 --> 01:23:53,600
the mate all the major cancers have the
2221
01:23:50,800 --> 01:23:55,360
same problem so small cell cancer is the
2222
01:23:53,600 --> 01:23:56,800
has the is dependent on glucose and
2223
01:23:55,359 --> 01:23:59,279
glutamine as well
2224
01:23:56,800 --> 01:24:01,760
um colon or rectal all the major cancers
2225
01:23:59,279 --> 01:24:04,079
they if you look at our science paper we
2226
01:24:01,760 --> 01:24:05,840
we went through all the major cancers
2227
01:24:04,079 --> 01:24:07,119
so they all need glucose and glutamine
2228
01:24:05,840 --> 01:24:08,480
for the most part
2229
01:24:07,119 --> 01:24:11,039
um
2230
01:24:08,479 --> 01:24:13,359
there are clinics that are opening up uh
2231
01:24:11,039 --> 01:24:16,639
slowly um
2232
01:24:13,359 --> 01:24:18,799
around the world and even in israel uh
2233
01:24:16,639 --> 01:24:21,359
there are some folks you you just have
2234
01:24:18,800 --> 01:24:23,679
to take those three questions that i put
2235
01:24:21,359 --> 01:24:25,198
at the end and go to the oncologists and
2236
01:24:23,679 --> 01:24:26,560
see how they answer those questions and
2237
01:24:25,198 --> 01:24:28,638
then you'll know whether or not you can
2238
01:24:26,560 --> 01:24:31,039
use meta are they if they're familiar
2239
01:24:28,639 --> 01:24:32,560
with metabolic therapy for cancer they
2240
01:24:31,039 --> 01:24:34,479
should be able to provide you with
2241
01:24:32,560 --> 01:24:36,960
accurate answers to those to those
2242
01:24:34,479 --> 01:24:38,879
questions if they have never heard of
2243
01:24:36,960 --> 01:24:41,119
metabolic therapy they never know about
2244
01:24:38,880 --> 01:24:42,800
otto warburg they didn't know this
2245
01:24:41,119 --> 01:24:44,559
then you have to recognize that these
2246
01:24:42,800 --> 01:24:47,119
people probably don't understand the
2247
01:24:44,560 --> 01:24:48,560
biology of the disease and then you you
2248
01:24:47,119 --> 01:24:49,679
have to make decisions based on that
2249
01:24:48,560 --> 01:24:51,600
information
2250
01:24:49,679 --> 01:24:54,560
so yeah i mean different countries the
2251
01:24:51,600 --> 01:24:56,639
turkish group in istanbul turkey
2252
01:24:54,560 --> 01:24:58,719
is embracing metabolic therapy and
2253
01:24:56,639 --> 01:25:01,520
they're getting quite quite good success
2254
01:24:58,719 --> 01:25:04,000
on advanced uh terminal cancers
2255
01:25:01,520 --> 01:25:05,440
so uh again a lot of people are going to
2256
01:25:04,000 --> 01:25:06,960
the istanbul clinic there are certain
2257
01:25:05,439 --> 01:25:08,079
clinics that are opening up
2258
01:25:06,960 --> 01:25:10,560
in
2259
01:25:08,079 --> 01:25:12,399
in united states but it's they're few
2260
01:25:10,560 --> 01:25:14,639
and far between because most people go
2261
01:25:12,399 --> 01:25:17,198
to their major oncology centers
2262
01:25:14,639 --> 01:25:20,159
um for information and most of the
2263
01:25:17,198 --> 01:25:22,158
ecology centers uh uh either don't know
2264
01:25:20,158 --> 01:25:24,479
about it or don't accept it or whatever
2265
01:25:22,158 --> 01:25:27,839
so you just have to you know do your own
2266
01:25:24,479 --> 01:25:27,839
investigation on that
2267
01:25:28,238 --> 01:25:31,919
all right thank you yeah everyone for
2268
01:25:29,679 --> 01:25:35,840
that question thank you doctor next we
2269
01:25:31,920 --> 01:25:38,399
have wendy wendy what is your question
2270
01:25:35,840 --> 01:25:41,119
yeah hi thank you so much
2271
01:25:38,399 --> 01:25:43,679
my question regarding press pulse
2272
01:25:41,119 --> 01:25:45,599
therapy are there any devices that one
2273
01:25:43,679 --> 01:25:48,000
can afford to buy
2274
01:25:45,600 --> 01:25:50,880
to have for their self
2275
01:25:48,000 --> 01:25:55,840
and otherwise how do you find doctors
2276
01:25:50,880 --> 01:25:59,199
that uh use press pulse therapy and the
2277
01:25:55,840 --> 01:26:00,480
dom or whatever that drug therapy is
2278
01:25:59,198 --> 01:26:02,399
thank you
2279
01:26:00,479 --> 01:26:04,718
yeah well the device would be the the
2280
01:26:02,399 --> 01:26:06,638
keto mojo um
2281
01:26:04,719 --> 01:26:09,679
blood glucose ketone meter you can get
2282
01:26:06,639 --> 01:26:11,520
it from amazon um
2283
01:26:09,679 --> 01:26:13,119
and the consumables i mean the meter
2284
01:26:11,520 --> 01:26:14,960
itself is not that expensive i don't
2285
01:26:13,119 --> 01:26:17,039
know maybe 60 dollars
2286
01:26:14,960 --> 01:26:18,880
uh but the consumables the glucose the
2287
01:26:17,039 --> 01:26:20,800
glucose strips are cheap
2288
01:26:18,880 --> 01:26:22,159
the glutamine or the correction the the
2289
01:26:20,800 --> 01:26:23,279
ketone strips are a little bit more
2290
01:26:22,158 --> 01:26:26,399
expensive
2291
01:26:23,279 --> 01:26:28,238
um but you can use urine urine uh ketone
2292
01:26:26,399 --> 01:26:30,638
strips in between the blood strips for
2293
01:26:28,238 --> 01:26:33,599
for ketone measurement um
2294
01:26:30,639 --> 01:26:35,760
whether like again unfortunately
2295
01:26:33,600 --> 01:26:37,440
uh what i've outlined is the future of
2296
01:26:35,760 --> 01:26:40,880
cancer meta
2297
01:26:37,439 --> 01:26:43,599
management um you don't you don't
2298
01:26:40,880 --> 01:26:45,679
see this in all the major clinics
2299
01:26:43,600 --> 01:26:49,400
i'm surprised they some of the
2300
01:26:45,679 --> 01:26:49,399
physicians hear about
2301
01:26:50,158 --> 01:26:55,599
oncologist a lot of them don't um know
2302
01:26:53,279 --> 01:26:57,519
about it and i think it's important
2303
01:26:55,600 --> 01:26:59,840
who's who's going to tell the oncology
2304
01:26:57,520 --> 01:27:01,440
clinics that they want press pulse
2305
01:26:59,840 --> 01:27:03,199
if you go and say listen i i breast
2306
01:27:01,439 --> 01:27:05,439
cancer colon cancer whatever i'd like i
2307
01:27:03,198 --> 01:27:08,319
like press pulse metabolic therapy
2308
01:27:05,439 --> 01:27:09,439
um rather than radiation and chemo
2309
01:27:08,319 --> 01:27:10,639
uh
2310
01:27:09,439 --> 01:27:12,158
well then you have to see what kind of
2311
01:27:10,639 --> 01:27:13,920
response you get ask those three
2312
01:27:12,158 --> 01:27:15,279
questions that i put at the end and then
2313
01:27:13,920 --> 01:27:16,800
you'll know right off the bat whether
2314
01:27:15,279 --> 01:27:19,840
they can do that or not whether they
2315
01:27:16,800 --> 01:27:19,840
want to do that or not
2316
01:27:19,920 --> 01:27:22,639
brain cancer but not for the other
2317
01:27:21,279 --> 01:27:25,519
cancers
2318
01:27:22,639 --> 01:27:28,239
i'm sorry i'm not clear the met i have
2319
01:27:25,520 --> 01:27:29,920
the keto mojo but the press pulse
2320
01:27:28,238 --> 01:27:32,479
therapy i don't know what you mean by
2321
01:27:29,920 --> 01:27:35,199
that exactly are there any things that
2322
01:27:32,479 --> 01:27:38,959
we can buy ourselves i think we're going
2323
01:27:35,198 --> 01:27:41,279
to provide that yeah yeah okay so once
2324
01:27:38,960 --> 01:27:42,480
what the way the clinics work
2325
01:27:41,279 --> 01:27:44,000
um
2326
01:27:42,479 --> 01:27:48,000
is that once the patient is in
2327
01:27:44,000 --> 01:27:49,119
nutritional ketosis with a gki of 2.0 or
2328
01:27:48,000 --> 01:27:52,238
below
2329
01:27:49,119 --> 01:27:54,960
is when the patient would then be
2330
01:27:52,238 --> 01:27:56,158
given by a professional
2331
01:27:54,960 --> 01:27:57,520
physician
2332
01:27:56,158 --> 01:27:59,599
dosages of
2333
01:27:57,520 --> 01:28:01,840
of different drugs
2334
01:27:59,600 --> 01:28:03,199
that will target glucose and glutamine
2335
01:28:01,840 --> 01:28:05,360
so you need to
2336
01:28:03,198 --> 01:28:06,799
be aligned with a physician that can
2337
01:28:05,359 --> 01:28:09,198
prescribe
2338
01:28:06,800 --> 01:28:11,679
uh these different approaches
2339
01:28:09,198 --> 01:28:12,719
and access to a hyperbaric oxygen
2340
01:28:11,679 --> 01:28:14,800
chamber
2341
01:28:12,719 --> 01:28:18,719
is also part of this and you will need
2342
01:28:14,800 --> 01:28:20,719
to this is unfortunately uh there's no
2343
01:28:18,719 --> 01:28:22,480
very few if any clinics that really put
2344
01:28:20,719 --> 01:28:24,960
this package together
2345
01:28:22,479 --> 01:28:28,238
um for helping the patients
2346
01:28:24,960 --> 01:28:29,520
and uh it's going to be uh on the part
2347
01:28:28,238 --> 01:28:32,399
of the patients
2348
01:28:29,520 --> 01:28:33,760
to demand this if they if they want this
2349
01:28:32,399 --> 01:28:35,759
they're going to have to tell the
2350
01:28:33,760 --> 01:28:38,159
oncologists or the
2351
01:28:35,760 --> 01:28:40,320
the treating facility that uh press
2352
01:28:38,158 --> 01:28:42,799
pulse we've clearly outlined what is
2353
01:28:40,319 --> 01:28:44,639
needed to be done how to do it so it's a
2354
01:28:42,800 --> 01:28:46,239
depart on the part of the oncologist to
2355
01:28:44,639 --> 01:28:47,760
read this information
2356
01:28:46,238 --> 01:28:50,718
and adapt it into their into their
2357
01:28:47,760 --> 01:28:52,560
clinics so um once this happens i think
2358
01:28:50,719 --> 01:28:55,679
we're going to start seeing much greater
2359
01:28:52,560 --> 01:28:57,440
uh improvement but you're right i mean
2360
01:28:55,679 --> 01:28:59,440
right now you say well what can i do can
2361
01:28:57,439 --> 01:29:01,519
i go and buy my own hyperbaric oxygen
2362
01:28:59,439 --> 01:29:03,198
chamber you're very expensive i i
2363
01:29:01,520 --> 01:29:04,960
wouldn't do this i would find a place
2364
01:29:03,198 --> 01:29:07,678
where you could and the other the other
2365
01:29:04,960 --> 01:29:10,399
problem is the insurance companies uh
2366
01:29:07,679 --> 01:29:12,079
will cover the cost of hyperbaric oxygen
2367
01:29:10,399 --> 01:29:13,439
to improve your body after you've been
2368
01:29:12,079 --> 01:29:15,439
irradiated
2369
01:29:13,439 --> 01:29:17,439
but they don't approve it uh for
2370
01:29:15,439 --> 01:29:19,519
managing the cancer itself so you have
2371
01:29:17,439 --> 01:29:21,678
this insurance issue problem that also
2372
01:29:19,520 --> 01:29:25,040
has to be resolved so there is a number
2373
01:29:21,679 --> 01:29:26,800
of of situations that must be resolved
2374
01:29:25,039 --> 01:29:29,359
even though the concepts
2375
01:29:26,800 --> 01:29:31,119
and the strategy is clear for helping
2376
01:29:29,359 --> 01:29:33,679
people live longer with cancer at a
2377
01:29:31,119 --> 01:29:36,399
higher quality of life the application
2378
01:29:33,679 --> 01:29:38,800
of this is in its infancy and has not
2379
01:29:36,399 --> 01:29:40,799
yet been fully recognized or adapted in
2380
01:29:38,800 --> 01:29:42,480
the in the rarest cancer clinics and
2381
01:29:40,800 --> 01:29:44,480
that's what will have to come from the
2382
01:29:42,479 --> 01:29:47,678
pressure of the cancer patients to make
2383
01:29:44,479 --> 01:29:47,678
sure those changes occur
2384
01:29:48,880 --> 01:29:52,719
thank you
2385
01:29:50,880 --> 01:29:55,840
all right thank you for that wendy thank
2386
01:29:52,719 --> 01:29:57,198
you doctor um next we have anne and what
2387
01:29:55,840 --> 01:30:00,000
is your question
2388
01:29:57,198 --> 01:30:03,439
hi dr seafried thank you for taking my
2389
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:06,639
call i'm listening to you from toronto
2390
01:30:03,439 --> 01:30:07,519
i was diagnosed two years ago with stage
2391
01:30:06,639 --> 01:30:11,119
four
2392
01:30:07,520 --> 01:30:14,159
high serous ovarian cancer
2393
01:30:11,119 --> 01:30:16,800
they did a 10 hour surgery followed by
2394
01:30:14,158 --> 01:30:18,000
five months of iv ip
2395
01:30:16,800 --> 01:30:21,360
chemo
2396
01:30:18,000 --> 01:30:22,679
i was on a very strict keto diet
2397
01:30:21,359 --> 01:30:26,158
and my
2398
01:30:22,679 --> 01:30:29,440
ca-125 numbers have remained very low
2399
01:30:26,158 --> 01:30:31,679
um around 10 11 11 12.
2400
01:30:29,439 --> 01:30:34,238
um and then gradually the last six
2401
01:30:31,679 --> 01:30:37,279
months i've gone a little bit more
2402
01:30:34,238 --> 01:30:38,559
plant-based introducing more beans and
2403
01:30:37,279 --> 01:30:41,359
more
2404
01:30:38,560 --> 01:30:43,280
um grains and listening to you today
2405
01:30:41,359 --> 01:30:45,279
obviously i think you've answered my
2406
01:30:43,279 --> 01:30:47,359
question um
2407
01:30:45,279 --> 01:30:51,119
the uh gk
2408
01:30:47,359 --> 01:30:53,439
um i will indicate whether um
2409
01:30:51,119 --> 01:30:56,238
i'm in ketosis or not anymore i think
2410
01:30:53,439 --> 01:30:57,678
that was my question
2411
01:30:56,238 --> 01:30:59,519
yeah well um
2412
01:30:57,679 --> 01:31:02,480
you know just like what when i showed
2413
01:30:59,520 --> 01:31:04,159
with pablo kelly uh in his managing of
2414
01:31:02,479 --> 01:31:06,399
his glioblastoma
2415
01:31:04,158 --> 01:31:09,119
um you know there is there is some um
2416
01:31:06,399 --> 01:31:11,279
slippage a little bit but uh he he has
2417
01:31:09,119 --> 01:31:13,599
come into a new diet lifestyle that kind
2418
01:31:11,279 --> 01:31:15,519
of maintains and i think maintains that
2419
01:31:13,600 --> 01:31:17,039
slow growth let's put it that way again
2420
01:31:15,520 --> 01:31:20,880
he's not cured
2421
01:31:17,039 --> 01:31:23,519
um but he's and like yourself uh
2422
01:31:20,880 --> 01:31:25,600
uh you know at some point if if if you
2423
01:31:23,520 --> 01:31:26,800
can get access to the other parts of the
2424
01:31:25,600 --> 01:31:27,760
press pulse
2425
01:31:26,800 --> 01:31:29,440
um
2426
01:31:27,760 --> 01:31:31,280
uh strategy
2427
01:31:29,439 --> 01:31:33,279
you could you could you can discuss this
2428
01:31:31,279 --> 01:31:35,119
with your oncologist if you if you now
2429
01:31:33,279 --> 01:31:36,399
that you have this information you can
2430
01:31:35,119 --> 01:31:39,119
discuss this
2431
01:31:36,399 --> 01:31:40,238
uh and discuss options that may help you
2432
01:31:39,119 --> 01:31:41,519
maintain
2433
01:31:40,238 --> 01:31:43,919
um
2434
01:31:41,520 --> 01:31:45,600
a quality of life and a management of
2435
01:31:43,920 --> 01:31:47,520
the tumor so i think these
2436
01:31:45,600 --> 01:31:49,440
you you have that you have the what i
2437
01:31:47,520 --> 01:31:51,920
gave you and now you can discuss this to
2438
01:31:49,439 --> 01:31:54,559
see if you can continue to maintain a
2439
01:31:51,920 --> 01:31:56,319
very very slow if maybe a resolution of
2440
01:31:54,560 --> 01:31:57,360
your tumor i don't know but
2441
01:31:56,319 --> 01:31:59,198
um
2442
01:31:57,359 --> 01:32:02,639
at least that's what you can do
2443
01:31:59,198 --> 01:32:02,638
thank you thank you very much
2444
01:32:02,960 --> 01:32:07,520
all right thanks ann for that and now
2445
01:32:05,119 --> 01:32:08,559
next we have tony tony what is your
2446
01:32:07,520 --> 01:32:11,199
question
2447
01:32:08,560 --> 01:32:13,920
uh yes uh last july i was diagnosed with
2448
01:32:11,198 --> 01:32:15,839
uh low-grade b-cell follicular
2449
01:32:13,920 --> 01:32:17,119
which progressed to moderate diffuse
2450
01:32:15,840 --> 01:32:18,960
large b-cell
2451
01:32:17,119 --> 01:32:22,800
non-hodgkin's lymphoma
2452
01:32:18,960 --> 01:32:24,840
and i've been on chop r for four cycles
2453
01:32:22,800 --> 01:32:27,440
i've got two more to go obviously
2454
01:32:24,840 --> 01:32:30,079
prednisone and curious if this metabolic
2455
01:32:27,439 --> 01:32:31,678
theory also applies to lymphomas i see
2456
01:32:30,079 --> 01:32:33,760
most of the most of the lectures about
2457
01:32:31,679 --> 01:32:35,840
solid tumors
2458
01:32:33,760 --> 01:32:38,239
yeah lymphomas are the same as the
2459
01:32:35,840 --> 01:32:40,560
others um they're bathed in glutamine
2460
01:32:38,238 --> 01:32:42,799
because they're in the blood um
2461
01:32:40,560 --> 01:32:44,960
and when you look into the scientific
2462
01:32:42,800 --> 01:32:47,840
literature you'll see the ma the the
2463
01:32:44,960 --> 01:32:50,079
mitochondria and lymphomas
2464
01:32:47,840 --> 01:32:52,960
all the different blood cancers have
2465
01:32:50,079 --> 01:32:54,800
defective respiratory capacity
2466
01:32:52,960 --> 01:32:56,719
therefore they're based on fermentation
2467
01:32:54,800 --> 01:32:59,520
just like the solid tumors are
2468
01:32:56,719 --> 01:33:01,439
so um yeah i i mean it's remarkable when
2469
01:32:59,520 --> 01:33:02,719
i looked into the scientific literature
2470
01:33:01,439 --> 01:33:04,559
and looked at the mitochondrion all
2471
01:33:02,719 --> 01:33:06,079
these cancers they're all defective
2472
01:33:04,560 --> 01:33:09,360
and what that means is they have to use
2473
01:33:06,079 --> 01:33:11,760
glucose and glutamine so lymphomas
2474
01:33:09,359 --> 01:33:14,319
non-hodgkin's lymphoma
2475
01:33:11,760 --> 01:33:16,159
or even hodgkin's lymphoma uh they they
2476
01:33:14,319 --> 01:33:19,279
require glucose and glutamine
2477
01:33:16,158 --> 01:33:22,319
so again that's the common problem uh
2478
01:33:19,279 --> 01:33:25,039
and if you look at your treatment chop i
2479
01:33:22,319 --> 01:33:28,000
mean chop will will is a cocktail of
2480
01:33:25,039 --> 01:33:29,519
toxic drugs that will break dna you know
2481
01:33:28,000 --> 01:33:31,760
stop uh
2482
01:33:29,520 --> 01:33:34,080
replication uh yeah you can get
2483
01:33:31,760 --> 01:33:35,280
effective treatment for that but also
2484
01:33:34,079 --> 01:33:37,359
pulling the plug on the glucose and
2485
01:33:35,279 --> 01:33:39,519
glutamine can do it without toxicity i
2486
01:33:37,359 --> 01:33:42,960
mean you can manage cancer with toxic
2487
01:33:39,520 --> 01:33:44,800
really radical toxicity of course but at
2488
01:33:42,960 --> 01:33:46,880
the same time you put normal cells in
2489
01:33:44,800 --> 01:33:48,880
your body at risk
2490
01:33:46,880 --> 01:33:50,480
for damage from radiation and chemo
2491
01:33:48,880 --> 01:33:52,400
which is not healthy
2492
01:33:50,479 --> 01:33:53,599
uh on the other hand you can manage the
2493
01:33:52,399 --> 01:33:55,439
cancer by
2494
01:33:53,600 --> 01:33:57,280
selectively targeting glucose and
2495
01:33:55,439 --> 01:33:59,439
glutamine using press pulse metabolic
2496
01:33:57,279 --> 01:34:00,960
therapy but as the questions i've said
2497
01:33:59,439 --> 01:34:02,559
most oncology bring it up to your
2498
01:34:00,960 --> 01:34:04,239
oncologist and say can you can you can i
2499
01:34:02,560 --> 01:34:05,280
do press pulse metabolic therapy and see
2500
01:34:04,238 --> 01:34:07,039
what they say
2501
01:34:05,279 --> 01:34:09,679
um and then you'll you know the answer
2502
01:34:07,039 --> 01:34:11,600
to your to your question
2503
01:34:09,679 --> 01:34:14,239
thank you
2504
01:34:11,600 --> 01:34:16,960
all right thanks tony next we have
2505
01:34:14,238 --> 01:34:20,879
cheryl cheryl what is your question
2506
01:34:16,960 --> 01:34:21,840
hi dr seifried well um tony just asked
2507
01:34:20,880 --> 01:34:23,840
my
2508
01:34:21,840 --> 01:34:25,679
main question and
2509
01:34:23,840 --> 01:34:27,440
i have a second question but first i
2510
01:34:25,679 --> 01:34:29,520
just want to thank you so much for your
2511
01:34:27,439 --> 01:34:30,879
work and your commitment to finding the
2512
01:34:29,520 --> 01:34:34,320
real truth
2513
01:34:30,880 --> 01:34:37,600
so my question is if someone has
2514
01:34:34,319 --> 01:34:41,439
a watery cancer like specifically double
2515
01:34:37,600 --> 01:34:43,520
hit non-hodgkin's lymphoma and he's been
2516
01:34:41,439 --> 01:34:45,919
doing conventional
2517
01:34:43,520 --> 01:34:48,480
standard of care treatment for over a
2518
01:34:45,920 --> 01:34:51,600
year i think it's mainly
2519
01:34:48,479 --> 01:34:52,879
experimental chemo and he survived so
2520
01:34:51,600 --> 01:34:56,560
far
2521
01:34:52,880 --> 01:34:59,199
can he benefit by switching to the
2522
01:34:56,560 --> 01:35:01,600
metabolic therapy or does it ever become
2523
01:34:59,198 --> 01:35:03,919
too late
2524
01:35:01,600 --> 01:35:06,480
well i don't i don't think anything
2525
01:35:03,920 --> 01:35:09,359
for the most part becomes too late
2526
01:35:06,479 --> 01:35:10,718
if the patient is still cognitive
2527
01:35:09,359 --> 01:35:13,839
and
2528
01:35:10,719 --> 01:35:16,319
still functional um you can always uh
2529
01:35:13,840 --> 01:35:17,760
integrate metabolic therapy
2530
01:35:16,319 --> 01:35:19,198
and i don't want to say that metabolic
2531
01:35:17,760 --> 01:35:21,600
therapy alone
2532
01:35:19,198 --> 01:35:23,439
uh it should be used i mean there are
2533
01:35:21,600 --> 01:35:24,960
many people who do conventional
2534
01:35:23,439 --> 01:35:27,599
standards of care
2535
01:35:24,960 --> 01:35:28,800
and they combine it with um metabolic
2536
01:35:27,600 --> 01:35:31,039
therapy
2537
01:35:28,800 --> 01:35:32,960
uh because because in general when
2538
01:35:31,039 --> 01:35:35,760
you're into a state of water fasting or
2539
01:35:32,960 --> 01:35:38,319
ketosis the normal cells of your body
2540
01:35:35,760 --> 01:35:39,520
get healthier so you're always going to
2541
01:35:38,319 --> 01:35:42,799
be
2542
01:35:39,520 --> 01:35:44,080
helping the normal cells do this and can
2543
01:35:42,800 --> 01:35:46,560
reduce
2544
01:35:44,079 --> 01:35:49,920
uh some of the toxicities of these
2545
01:35:46,560 --> 01:35:52,639
powerful uh toxic chemicals the work of
2546
01:35:49,920 --> 01:35:53,520
longo um has shown that people who are
2547
01:35:52,639 --> 01:35:56,079
taking
2548
01:35:53,520 --> 01:35:58,000
uh who are on water only fasting do have
2549
01:35:56,079 --> 01:36:00,800
much less toxic effects from the
2550
01:35:58,000 --> 01:36:03,359
standards of care so so i always think
2551
01:36:00,800 --> 01:36:05,520
that yeah you know it can be used
2552
01:36:03,359 --> 01:36:06,399
together with standards of care
2553
01:36:05,520 --> 01:36:08,880
um
2554
01:36:06,399 --> 01:36:10,960
you know whether it's better that way or
2555
01:36:08,880 --> 01:36:12,960
is it better by itself
2556
01:36:10,960 --> 01:36:14,000
um you know we're still working out the
2557
01:36:12,960 --> 01:36:16,800
details
2558
01:36:14,000 --> 01:36:18,479
but um yeah i think it can be it could
2559
01:36:16,800 --> 01:36:20,079
be done with standards of care and you
2560
01:36:18,479 --> 01:36:21,919
discuss this with your oncologist and
2561
01:36:20,079 --> 01:36:24,880
see what they think
2562
01:36:21,920 --> 01:36:27,440
thank you so much
2563
01:36:24,880 --> 01:36:29,440
okay thank you michelle for that next we
2564
01:36:27,439 --> 01:36:30,960
have kaylee kelly
2565
01:36:29,439 --> 01:36:32,079
what's your question
2566
01:36:30,960 --> 01:36:34,560
thank you
2567
01:36:32,079 --> 01:36:37,039
please have studies been done uh
2568
01:36:34,560 --> 01:36:39,840
correlating the advent and increase of
2569
01:36:37,039 --> 01:36:43,760
the use of cell phones along with the
2570
01:36:39,840 --> 01:36:46,000
rise of the the glioblastomas and is
2571
01:36:43,760 --> 01:36:48,079
there also a study being done or has
2572
01:36:46,000 --> 01:36:50,719
been done of where the tumors in the
2573
01:36:48,079 --> 01:36:54,238
brain occur and correlating that where
2574
01:36:50,719 --> 01:36:56,480
the cell phones are held to the head
2575
01:36:54,238 --> 01:36:59,118
yeah that's a good question
2576
01:36:56,479 --> 01:37:01,599
well i uh went to england a couple years
2577
01:36:59,118 --> 01:37:04,079
ago where they were looking at um
2578
01:37:01,600 --> 01:37:07,119
the kinds of magnetic uh pulses that
2579
01:37:04,079 --> 01:37:08,880
come out of a cell phone um
2580
01:37:07,118 --> 01:37:11,439
i think the risk is probably more for
2581
01:37:08,880 --> 01:37:13,199
young people uh young kids where their
2582
01:37:11,439 --> 01:37:16,079
skull is less thick
2583
01:37:13,198 --> 01:37:17,599
um and they really penetrate deep
2584
01:37:16,079 --> 01:37:20,000
they are the arguments were that you
2585
01:37:17,600 --> 01:37:22,800
know cell phone electromagnetic
2586
01:37:20,000 --> 01:37:24,960
waves don't cause mutations
2587
01:37:22,800 --> 01:37:26,960
and therefore uh they would say that
2588
01:37:24,960 --> 01:37:28,960
they that the cell phones don't have any
2589
01:37:26,960 --> 01:37:31,359
impact on brain cancer but the whole
2590
01:37:28,960 --> 01:37:33,920
thing mutations are irrelevant anyway
2591
01:37:31,359 --> 01:37:36,399
so uh um what's important is how how
2592
01:37:33,920 --> 01:37:39,440
would electromagnetic uh pulses
2593
01:37:36,399 --> 01:37:41,839
potentially initiate a tumor and what
2594
01:37:39,439 --> 01:37:44,079
happens is heat the heat from the cell
2595
01:37:41,840 --> 01:37:45,760
phones can actually cause inflammation
2596
01:37:44,079 --> 01:37:47,439
in the microenvironment and it's
2597
01:37:45,760 --> 01:37:49,280
inflammation in the microenvironment of
2598
01:37:47,439 --> 01:37:50,960
the cells that ultimately leads to
2599
01:37:49,279 --> 01:37:53,039
mitochondrial damage in the origin of
2600
01:37:50,960 --> 01:37:54,079
cancer the mutations are largely
2601
01:37:53,039 --> 01:37:56,639
irrelevant
2602
01:37:54,079 --> 01:37:58,479
so um the question then should become is
2603
01:37:56,639 --> 01:38:00,560
it possible that cell phones could
2604
01:37:58,479 --> 01:38:02,399
create an abnormality in the
2605
01:38:00,560 --> 01:38:04,800
micro environment of the brain that
2606
01:38:02,399 --> 01:38:06,960
could elicit a brain tumor and the
2607
01:38:04,800 --> 01:38:09,600
answer is probably more likely in young
2608
01:38:06,960 --> 01:38:11,600
people than in older people um only
2609
01:38:09,600 --> 01:38:13,119
because of the as i said the skull
2610
01:38:11,600 --> 01:38:16,560
thickness so
2611
01:38:13,118 --> 01:38:18,319
the it's an important question uh and
2612
01:38:16,560 --> 01:38:20,239
considering how widely used the cell
2613
01:38:18,319 --> 01:38:22,319
phones are computers and a lot of
2614
01:38:20,238 --> 01:38:24,718
different kinds of things they probably
2615
01:38:22,319 --> 01:38:26,559
do represent a risk factor it's very
2616
01:38:24,719 --> 01:38:28,840
hard to quantify
2617
01:38:26,560 --> 01:38:30,639
that risk factor but
2618
01:38:28,840 --> 01:38:33,119
obviously uh
2619
01:38:30,639 --> 01:38:34,800
knowing you know 5g networks and all
2620
01:38:33,118 --> 01:38:37,679
these kinds of things electromagnetic
2621
01:38:34,800 --> 01:38:39,039
radiation it's it's it's probably a risk
2622
01:38:37,679 --> 01:38:41,359
factor it's been very hard to
2623
01:38:39,039 --> 01:38:44,079
specifically say that someone's tumor
2624
01:38:41,359 --> 01:38:45,439
was caused by cell phone use usually
2625
01:38:44,079 --> 01:38:46,960
it's a combination of a number of
2626
01:38:45,439 --> 01:38:48,719
different things that would probably
2627
01:38:46,960 --> 01:38:51,760
elicit something like that but we
2628
01:38:48,719 --> 01:38:54,719
certainly cannot rule out uh completely
2629
01:38:51,760 --> 01:38:56,719
that cell phone use is com is innocuous
2630
01:38:54,719 --> 01:38:59,118
and has no relationship to the origin of
2631
01:38:56,719 --> 01:39:00,960
cancer so i think there's a possibility
2632
01:38:59,118 --> 01:39:02,799
there but i i don't do that kind of
2633
01:39:00,960 --> 01:39:05,039
research and i'll let i'll leave that to
2634
01:39:02,800 --> 01:39:05,039
others
2635
01:39:05,760 --> 01:39:08,159
thank you
2636
01:39:10,319 --> 01:39:15,039
okay next we have gretchen gretchen what
2637
01:39:12,880 --> 01:39:18,079
is your question
2638
01:39:15,039 --> 01:39:20,399
thank you very much for your input um
2639
01:39:18,079 --> 01:39:21,840
as you reject the standards of care for
2640
01:39:20,399 --> 01:39:24,158
cancer and it would appear that you
2641
01:39:21,840 --> 01:39:26,319
respect and have done an extensive
2642
01:39:24,158 --> 01:39:28,319
amount of research and publishing have
2643
01:39:26,319 --> 01:39:29,759
you respectfully
2644
01:39:28,319 --> 01:39:32,559
researched the cancer work of
2645
01:39:29,760 --> 01:39:34,560
nishiokushi and macrobiotics part of the
2646
01:39:32,560 --> 01:39:35,679
collection of the smithsonian's national
2647
01:39:34,560 --> 01:39:38,080
archives
2648
01:39:35,679 --> 01:39:40,639
macrobiotics deals a lot with the acid
2649
01:39:38,079 --> 01:39:42,880
alkaline balance for one aspect and as
2650
01:39:40,639 --> 01:39:44,960
far back as the 60s had far reaching
2651
01:39:42,880 --> 01:39:46,800
best in dealing with cancer
2652
01:39:44,960 --> 01:39:48,319
and other melanies i've been involved
2653
01:39:46,800 --> 01:39:50,000
with the macrobiotic community since
2654
01:39:48,319 --> 01:39:52,559
2003
2655
01:39:50,000 --> 01:39:55,118
and i have equated macrobiotics to
2656
01:39:52,560 --> 01:39:57,600
plant-based eating for mensa level feet
2657
01:39:55,118 --> 01:39:57,599
fingers
2658
01:39:57,760 --> 01:40:02,480
yeah well i mean certainly um
2659
01:40:00,639 --> 01:40:03,920
well we did some research on this
2660
01:40:02,479 --> 01:40:05,678
actually i'm right in fact i'm working
2661
01:40:03,920 --> 01:40:07,359
on a big paper right now for the
2662
01:40:05,679 --> 01:40:11,279
alkalinization
2663
01:40:07,359 --> 01:40:13,359
thing the the uh acid the acidity
2664
01:40:11,279 --> 01:40:16,238
is caused by the fermentation metabolism
2665
01:40:13,359 --> 01:40:18,559
of the tumor cells so that creates local
2666
01:40:16,238 --> 01:40:20,238
local inflammation and acidification of
2667
01:40:18,560 --> 01:40:21,840
the micro environment from the waste
2668
01:40:20,238 --> 01:40:24,799
products of the tumor cells which
2669
01:40:21,840 --> 01:40:28,960
facilitates the spread
2670
01:40:24,800 --> 01:40:28,960
we try to stop metastatic cancer by
2671
01:40:30,479 --> 01:40:36,000
using alkaline
2672
01:40:33,198 --> 01:40:38,079
materials
2673
01:40:36,000 --> 01:40:39,760
what is it sodium hydroxide one of these
2674
01:40:38,079 --> 01:40:41,519
things we couldn't get any therapeutic
2675
01:40:39,760 --> 01:40:42,480
benefit from it at all
2676
01:40:41,520 --> 01:40:45,280
um
2677
01:40:42,479 --> 01:40:47,198
the uh so the best way to stop
2678
01:40:45,279 --> 01:40:49,439
acidification is pull the plug on the
2679
01:40:47,198 --> 01:40:51,919
fermentation metabolism if you do that
2680
01:40:49,439 --> 01:40:53,118
you're going to stop local acidification
2681
01:40:51,920 --> 01:40:54,960
as i said
2682
01:40:53,118 --> 01:40:56,559
you know it can do a lot of different
2683
01:40:54,960 --> 01:40:58,079
kinds of things if you know what's
2684
01:40:56,560 --> 01:40:59,280
causing the cancer to grow then just
2685
01:40:58,079 --> 01:41:02,319
pull the plug on that and see what
2686
01:40:59,279 --> 01:41:03,279
happens if macrobiotics can do that then
2687
01:41:02,319 --> 01:41:05,599
do that
2688
01:41:03,279 --> 01:41:07,439
you know it's just uh
2689
01:41:05,600 --> 01:41:09,440
you know
2690
01:41:07,439 --> 01:41:11,839
sodium boro what is it what is that
2691
01:41:09,439 --> 01:41:13,678
baking soda we tried that to try to
2692
01:41:11,840 --> 01:41:16,400
alkaline it didn't work at all
2693
01:41:13,679 --> 01:41:18,000
so um it didn't stop our metastatic
2694
01:41:16,399 --> 01:41:18,719
cancer maybe to stop somebody's i don't
2695
01:41:18,000 --> 01:41:21,118
know
2696
01:41:18,719 --> 01:41:23,039
but uh you know we know what the problem
2697
01:41:21,118 --> 01:41:24,719
is and we know how to go after the
2698
01:41:23,039 --> 01:41:26,079
problem just people just have to know
2699
01:41:24,719 --> 01:41:27,920
that they can do it or not do it you
2700
01:41:26,079 --> 01:41:31,519
know it's whatever they want to do
2701
01:41:27,920 --> 01:41:34,800
well my my real question was and i i if
2702
01:41:31,520 --> 01:41:37,760
you haven't uh researched uh the
2703
01:41:34,800 --> 01:41:39,520
workings of nishiokushi on cancer i
2704
01:41:37,760 --> 01:41:42,800
respectfully suggest that you might be
2705
01:41:39,520 --> 01:41:47,320
fascinated by what you find
2706
01:41:42,800 --> 01:41:47,320
okay i'll look into that thank you
2707
01:41:48,319 --> 01:41:53,039
thank you um hi i'm filling in for john
2708
01:41:51,279 --> 01:41:55,519
we had to step away on to do some
2709
01:41:53,039 --> 01:41:58,639
technical stuff so my name's nancy and
2710
01:41:55,520 --> 01:42:01,119
the next question is from aaron aaron
2711
01:41:58,639 --> 01:42:03,600
i'm going to un unmute you if you could
2712
01:42:01,118 --> 01:42:06,399
ask your question
2713
01:42:03,600 --> 01:42:10,000
hi so as a follow-up to the answer you
2714
01:42:06,399 --> 01:42:12,000
gave steve about what food should we eat
2715
01:42:10,000 --> 01:42:13,039
or how they affect
2716
01:42:12,000 --> 01:42:15,920
our
2717
01:42:13,039 --> 01:42:18,399
our uh sugar intake
2718
01:42:15,920 --> 01:42:20,880
and and and ketosis
2719
01:42:18,399 --> 01:42:21,759
so you you suggested to use a device and
2720
01:42:20,880 --> 01:42:24,239
check
2721
01:42:21,760 --> 01:42:26,400
so my question would be how much time
2722
01:42:24,238 --> 01:42:29,519
after you eat the food you should test
2723
01:42:26,399 --> 01:42:30,799
yourself and see how does the food
2724
01:42:29,520 --> 01:42:34,000
affect you
2725
01:42:30,800 --> 01:42:36,079
and my second question is
2726
01:42:34,000 --> 01:42:38,158
about what are your thoughts about
2727
01:42:36,079 --> 01:42:40,158
immunotherapy do you think that this is
2728
01:42:38,158 --> 01:42:42,879
also toxic
2729
01:42:40,158 --> 01:42:43,920
treatment thank you yeah well that's a
2730
01:42:42,880 --> 01:42:46,560
good question
2731
01:42:43,920 --> 01:42:49,440
um you can try it which we we we did
2732
01:42:46,560 --> 01:42:50,560
these experiments on on ourselves and
2733
01:42:49,439 --> 01:42:51,919
students
2734
01:42:50,560 --> 01:42:55,280
um
2735
01:42:51,920 --> 01:42:57,520
we gave coca-cola right uh and we tested
2736
01:42:55,279 --> 01:42:59,359
red wine as well um
2737
01:42:57,520 --> 01:43:01,760
so we have uh you you
2738
01:42:59,359 --> 01:43:04,719
the the way we did this was we we we had
2739
01:43:01,760 --> 01:43:07,440
the the person or the student um not eat
2740
01:43:04,719 --> 01:43:09,279
anything for like uh 36 hours
2741
01:43:07,439 --> 01:43:11,439
so you kind of burn up your glycogen in
2742
01:43:09,279 --> 01:43:15,198
the in the liver you got kind of a nice
2743
01:43:11,439 --> 01:43:17,719
uh baseline and then drink a coca-cola
2744
01:43:15,198 --> 01:43:19,599
um you know standard high
2745
01:43:17,719 --> 01:43:22,960
carbohydrate coke
2746
01:43:19,600 --> 01:43:25,760
so uh my associate did this um
2747
01:43:22,960 --> 01:43:27,520
and the blood sugar uh we measured the
2748
01:43:25,760 --> 01:43:28,880
blood sugar just before they drink the
2749
01:43:27,520 --> 01:43:32,239
coca-cola
2750
01:43:28,880 --> 01:43:34,639
and it was about uh 89 milligrams per
2751
01:43:32,238 --> 01:43:36,559
deca liter okay which is which is good
2752
01:43:34,639 --> 01:43:39,199
you know it's with a normal normal in
2753
01:43:36,560 --> 01:43:42,400
the normal range and then we she drank
2754
01:43:39,198 --> 01:43:44,559
the coca-cola and we waited 15 minutes
2755
01:43:42,399 --> 01:43:47,599
and we measured the blood sugar again
2756
01:43:44,560 --> 01:43:49,119
and it was 165 milligrams per deca liter
2757
01:43:47,600 --> 01:43:50,960
in 15 minutes
2758
01:43:49,118 --> 01:43:52,960
now of course insulin surge will will
2759
01:43:50,960 --> 01:43:53,840
gradually reduce the sugar
2760
01:43:52,960 --> 01:43:56,239
um
2761
01:43:53,840 --> 01:43:58,239
but it takes in coca-cola and then one
2762
01:43:56,238 --> 01:44:00,959
of my other students uh went on a
2763
01:43:58,238 --> 01:44:06,319
three-day water-only fast and then drank
2764
01:44:00,960 --> 01:44:07,118
a a a glass of of red wine a cabernet um
2765
01:44:06,319 --> 01:44:10,319
um
2766
01:44:07,118 --> 01:44:11,599
uh you know low low uh a thick red wine
2767
01:44:10,319 --> 01:44:13,759
i guess you could say
2768
01:44:11,600 --> 01:44:15,920
and the blood sugar didn't change at all
2769
01:44:13,760 --> 01:44:18,079
it was shown that the cabernet did not
2770
01:44:15,920 --> 01:44:20,880
raise the blood sugar in striking
2771
01:44:18,079 --> 01:44:21,760
comparison to coca-cola so
2772
01:44:20,880 --> 01:44:23,440
you know
2773
01:44:21,760 --> 01:44:25,520
these kinds of experiments everyone
2774
01:44:23,439 --> 01:44:26,879
should or people can do on their on
2775
01:44:25,520 --> 01:44:29,040
their own like the answer to your
2776
01:44:26,880 --> 01:44:31,920
question you can get the answer to your
2777
01:44:29,039 --> 01:44:34,479
question by measuring your gki
2778
01:44:31,920 --> 01:44:37,039
uh certain periods of time after you eat
2779
01:44:34,479 --> 01:44:39,599
certain things and that's what i said so
2780
01:44:37,039 --> 01:44:42,000
eat a banana and see how high it goes uh
2781
01:44:39,600 --> 01:44:43,440
versus taking in grapefruit uh all of
2782
01:44:42,000 --> 01:44:44,880
these things can be done you have to
2783
01:44:43,439 --> 01:44:47,118
measure before
2784
01:44:44,880 --> 01:44:50,480
get to get the number and then and then
2785
01:44:47,118 --> 01:44:52,158
after uh a certain period of time after
2786
01:44:50,479 --> 01:44:55,759
you know you can do it at 15 minutes an
2787
01:44:52,158 --> 01:44:55,759
hour and you can see your blood
2788
01:44:56,719 --> 01:45:01,118
you see gradually
2789
01:44:58,639 --> 01:45:03,199
if greg declines that means your insulin
2790
01:45:01,118 --> 01:45:04,158
is working if the blood sugar stays up
2791
01:45:03,198 --> 01:45:06,158
and it doesn't go down you've got an
2792
01:45:04,158 --> 01:45:07,839
insulin problem so uh insulin
2793
01:45:06,158 --> 01:45:10,000
insensitivity this is what underlies
2794
01:45:07,840 --> 01:45:11,679
type 2 diabetes and a lot of type 2
2795
01:45:10,000 --> 01:45:13,039
diabetics are at high risk for cancer
2796
01:45:11,679 --> 01:45:14,560
because they can't clear the glucose out
2797
01:45:13,039 --> 01:45:16,079
of the system after they eat this thing
2798
01:45:14,560 --> 01:45:17,760
so a lot of these things can be done by
2799
01:45:16,079 --> 01:45:19,840
the individual themselves what was the
2800
01:45:17,760 --> 01:45:22,000
other part of your question about
2801
01:45:19,840 --> 01:45:24,480
immunotherapy oh yeah it's something
2802
01:45:22,000 --> 01:45:26,158
that you know been offered lately and
2803
01:45:24,479 --> 01:45:26,879
what are your thoughts about this type
2804
01:45:26,158 --> 01:45:28,000
of
2805
01:45:26,880 --> 01:45:30,719
treatment
2806
01:45:28,000 --> 01:45:32,719
yeah well it's very expensive um
2807
01:45:30,719 --> 01:45:34,480
it has the probability of giving you
2808
01:45:32,719 --> 01:45:35,920
some therapeutic advantage like that
2809
01:45:34,479 --> 01:45:38,718
paper i just showed at the beginning of
2810
01:45:35,920 --> 01:45:40,960
the lecture on the non-small cell cancer
2811
01:45:38,719 --> 01:45:43,359
um but it also can accelerate how fast
2812
01:45:40,960 --> 01:45:45,600
you the tumor can grow so it's a mixed
2813
01:45:43,359 --> 01:45:48,479
bag it's not really clear some people do
2814
01:45:45,600 --> 01:45:50,400
really well in immunotherapy and uh it's
2815
01:45:48,479 --> 01:45:53,599
funny an interesting paper came out not
2816
01:45:50,399 --> 01:45:56,238
long ago and they call lactic acid um a
2817
01:45:53,600 --> 01:45:58,480
checkpoint inhibitor block lactic acid
2818
01:45:56,238 --> 01:46:00,879
blocks the they think will block the
2819
01:45:58,479 --> 01:46:03,359
effects of immunotherapy well the lactic
2820
01:46:00,880 --> 01:46:05,760
acid is coming from the the tumor's use
2821
01:46:03,359 --> 01:46:07,679
of glucose dumping out the lactic acid
2822
01:46:05,760 --> 01:46:09,280
so again immunotherapies will probably
2823
01:46:07,679 --> 01:46:11,679
work a lot better if the patient is in
2824
01:46:09,279 --> 01:46:13,759
nutritional ketosis i mean this is it
2825
01:46:11,679 --> 01:46:15,359
becomes very very clear as a matter of
2826
01:46:13,760 --> 01:46:17,119
fact they think all of these cancer
2827
01:46:15,359 --> 01:46:19,359
treatments will work much better if the
2828
01:46:17,118 --> 01:46:22,399
patient is in nutritional ketosis before
2829
01:46:19,359 --> 01:46:23,920
they take the therapy so um and that's
2830
01:46:22,399 --> 01:46:25,599
becoming more this number of papers
2831
01:46:23,920 --> 01:46:26,880
coming out saying that immunotherapies
2832
01:46:25,600 --> 01:46:29,039
can work better
2833
01:46:26,880 --> 01:46:30,880
if the patient is in nutritional ketosis
2834
01:46:29,039 --> 01:46:32,800
then the question becomes if you do
2835
01:46:30,880 --> 01:46:34,159
nutritional ketosis with pressed pulse
2836
01:46:32,800 --> 01:46:36,400
why are you taking immunotherapy in the
2837
01:46:34,158 --> 01:46:38,319
first place doesn't make any sense
2838
01:46:36,399 --> 01:46:40,079
so and it's also immunotherapies that
2839
01:46:38,319 --> 01:46:41,279
based on the somatic mutation theory of
2840
01:46:40,079 --> 01:46:43,118
disease
2841
01:46:41,279 --> 01:46:44,559
so if cancer is not a genetic disease
2842
01:46:43,118 --> 01:46:46,238
why are you using immunotherapies in the
2843
01:46:44,560 --> 01:46:47,840
first place but you know they do it
2844
01:46:46,238 --> 01:46:50,399
because they they don't understand the
2845
01:46:47,840 --> 01:46:51,440
rest of the biology of the disease so um
2846
01:46:50,399 --> 01:46:54,000
but you know it's going to be a
2847
01:46:51,439 --> 01:46:55,919
transition uh period before the field
2848
01:46:54,000 --> 01:46:58,399
comes to realize what how how the best
2849
01:46:55,920 --> 01:47:01,600
way to manage this disease is
2850
01:46:58,399 --> 01:47:01,599
thank you so much doctor
2851
01:47:03,198 --> 01:47:08,479
thank you very much aaron okay so the
2852
01:47:06,079 --> 01:47:09,840
next person up is uh
2853
01:47:08,479 --> 01:47:11,759
deborah
2854
01:47:09,840 --> 01:47:14,159
i'm going to unmute you if you could ask
2855
01:47:11,760 --> 01:47:16,960
your question please
2856
01:47:14,158 --> 01:47:19,519
hi um thank you for taking me again i
2857
01:47:16,960 --> 01:47:21,039
just i have like two things to ask one
2858
01:47:19,520 --> 01:47:23,360
was um
2859
01:47:21,039 --> 01:47:25,600
we've talked a lot about treating cancer
2860
01:47:23,359 --> 01:47:28,079
and these all these kind of programs and
2861
01:47:25,600 --> 01:47:30,400
thoughts and ketosis and
2862
01:47:28,079 --> 01:47:32,719
different treatments for cancer are
2863
01:47:30,399 --> 01:47:34,238
there any things at this point that you
2864
01:47:32,719 --> 01:47:36,158
recommend
2865
01:47:34,238 --> 01:47:38,718
along these lines where you've studied
2866
01:47:36,158 --> 01:47:39,599
that helps those of us without cancer
2867
01:47:38,719 --> 01:47:41,760
um
2868
01:47:39,600 --> 01:47:44,000
to beat the odds of you know our doctors
2869
01:47:41,760 --> 01:47:45,679
who told us you're gonna get it anyhow
2870
01:47:44,000 --> 01:47:48,158
just no matter which one because it's
2871
01:47:45,679 --> 01:47:50,639
genetic um just how to be more
2872
01:47:48,158 --> 01:47:52,719
preventative i know ridiculous and then
2873
01:47:50,639 --> 01:47:55,600
another thing i just wanted to ask quick
2874
01:47:52,719 --> 01:47:58,158
only because i was exposed to it in um
2875
01:47:55,600 --> 01:48:00,239
in south africa was the use of
2876
01:47:58,158 --> 01:48:02,238
ozone treatment
2877
01:48:00,238 --> 01:48:04,479
um and what your thoughts were about
2878
01:48:02,238 --> 01:48:05,678
ozone if it's just hocus pocus or if
2879
01:48:04,479 --> 01:48:07,519
it's actually something that's
2880
01:48:05,679 --> 01:48:09,520
beneficial in it because it was prevent
2881
01:48:07,520 --> 01:48:11,199
it was in a preventative nature you know
2882
01:48:09,520 --> 01:48:13,760
at a health spa thing
2883
01:48:11,198 --> 01:48:16,079
so those are my questions thank you yeah
2884
01:48:13,760 --> 01:48:17,360
um well the ozone
2885
01:48:16,079 --> 01:48:18,960
uh
2886
01:48:17,359 --> 01:48:21,519
part of this
2887
01:48:18,960 --> 01:48:23,118
is we tried that and there are some
2888
01:48:21,520 --> 01:48:25,520
examples i think in the literature it's
2889
01:48:23,118 --> 01:48:27,759
not like many publications on that
2890
01:48:25,520 --> 01:48:28,960
uh it didn't work for us in the in the
2891
01:48:27,760 --> 01:48:31,039
pre-clinical
2892
01:48:28,960 --> 01:48:32,399
in the pre-clinical system
2893
01:48:31,039 --> 01:48:34,960
um
2894
01:48:32,399 --> 01:48:36,479
uh but so i i mean to focus i was
2895
01:48:34,960 --> 01:48:38,800
thinking more about the the ozone
2896
01:48:36,479 --> 01:48:41,439
because we did try that um
2897
01:48:38,800 --> 01:48:43,039
we we didn't publish it because
2898
01:48:41,439 --> 01:48:44,079
we we had a couple of students that were
2899
01:48:43,039 --> 01:48:46,719
doing it
2900
01:48:44,079 --> 01:48:48,238
uh you know how
2901
01:48:46,719 --> 01:48:51,439
uh
2902
01:48:48,238 --> 01:48:53,118
the ozone is nice and we were looking at
2903
01:48:51,439 --> 01:48:56,158
this kind of thing i'm not gonna say
2904
01:48:53,118 --> 01:48:58,639
that ozone doesn't doesn't uh help um
2905
01:48:56,158 --> 01:48:59,839
it's just that it's not as profound
2906
01:48:58,639 --> 01:49:01,118
as what we see when we target the
2907
01:48:59,840 --> 01:49:02,639
glucose and glutamine and what was the
2908
01:49:01,118 --> 01:49:03,920
first part of your question again
2909
01:49:02,639 --> 01:49:05,600
i just
2910
01:49:03,920 --> 01:49:08,480
as i said i was doing those oh yeah
2911
01:49:05,600 --> 01:49:10,320
prevention yes prevention okay
2912
01:49:08,479 --> 01:49:13,039
yeah uh prevention okay well that's a
2913
01:49:10,319 --> 01:49:14,639
different uh okay so if if here's the
2914
01:49:13,039 --> 01:49:18,238
situation
2915
01:49:14,639 --> 01:49:20,880
if the origin of cancer is the result of
2916
01:49:18,238 --> 01:49:23,678
damage to the oxidative phosphorylation
2917
01:49:20,880 --> 01:49:25,599
system in a cell in a particular organ
2918
01:49:23,679 --> 01:49:28,560
that's the origin of cancer
2919
01:49:25,599 --> 01:49:31,039
so it's hard to get cancer if your
2920
01:49:28,560 --> 01:49:33,520
mitochondria remain healthy
2921
01:49:31,039 --> 01:49:34,800
okay so as long as you have a diet and
2922
01:49:33,520 --> 01:49:37,599
lifestyle
2923
01:49:34,800 --> 01:49:39,119
that reduce inflammation and maintain
2924
01:49:37,599 --> 01:49:41,599
the health and vitality of your
2925
01:49:39,118 --> 01:49:42,639
mitochondria the probability of getting
2926
01:49:41,599 --> 01:49:44,480
cancer
2927
01:49:42,639 --> 01:49:46,560
is very rare
2928
01:49:44,479 --> 01:49:49,359
uh primitive tribe like the great uh
2929
01:49:46,560 --> 01:49:51,599
humanitarian physician albert schweitzer
2930
01:49:49,359 --> 01:49:54,079
uh which studied primitive peoples in
2931
01:49:51,599 --> 01:49:56,880
different continents and cancer was very
2932
01:49:54,079 --> 01:49:59,118
very rare in humans that uh were in a
2933
01:49:56,880 --> 01:50:00,639
diet lifestyle similar similar to that
2934
01:49:59,118 --> 01:50:04,479
that we evolved in
2935
01:50:00,639 --> 01:50:07,599
uh eskimos uh inuits of of of the cold
2936
01:50:04,479 --> 01:50:09,118
climates uh had no term for cancer um
2937
01:50:07,599 --> 01:50:11,760
and they're eating you know blubber and
2938
01:50:09,118 --> 01:50:13,920
fat in that in their environment as long
2939
01:50:11,760 --> 01:50:15,440
as you have a diet and lifestyle that
2940
01:50:13,920 --> 01:50:17,359
does not cause
2941
01:50:15,439 --> 01:50:19,359
systemic inflammation
2942
01:50:17,359 --> 01:50:22,319
uh the probability of getting cancer is
2943
01:50:19,359 --> 01:50:24,799
very rare so why why is our societies
2944
01:50:22,319 --> 01:50:26,559
throughout the world where cancer now is
2945
01:50:24,800 --> 01:50:27,599
overtaking heart disease
2946
01:50:26,560 --> 01:50:30,520
uh
2947
01:50:27,599 --> 01:50:34,480
why we have this problem it's
2948
01:50:30,520 --> 01:50:37,040
99 of this diet and lifestyle we did not
2949
