What Professionals are Saying About The Book The Hidden Story of Cancer

I think your book The Hidden Story of Cancer is the most important book to be written in the last hundred years. I am also trained in the analytical sciences and have read much of the nonsense you so eloquently discredit. There had to be a connect-the dots formula but it was elusive until I started your book. A few pages in, I sat upright and paid attention. Sir, you

have connected the dots and should receive your own Nobel Prize for medical investigation. I, and the world at large, owe you a debt that can never be repaid in simple words of thanks. Thomas Sommerville, Singapore There is no doubt that The Hidden Story of Cancer has Pulitzer Prize qualities. I read the whole book in one night because I couldnt put it down. Sheldon Zerden, Health book author/award-winning author I had been taking high-dose fish oil for many years in an attempt to prevent C-V disease and retard inflammation. However, I noticed that my fasting blood sugars were always in the high range (100-115) and measurements of oxidative stress also reflected high levels. No one could explain it since my hemoglobin a1c always stayed low. Since switching to the parent EFAs (PEOs), as recommended in The Hidden Story of Cancer, my FBS came down to 84. My lipids also looked better than ever. I think many of our colleagues do not appreciate the dangers of high dose fish oil. Derivative EFAs like fish oil easily oxidize, and although some surrogate markers may improve, the final cost is still unknown. Thanks so very much for your book. Ira L. Goodman, M.D., Ophthalmic Surgeon (retired), Holistic Medicine

This information has transformed me, my practice and my patients. I have followed the information on essential fats for the past 25 years, but my patients did not see the results that the researchers reported. The discovery in this book makes sense and finally patients are reporting improvements. I hope other physicians will become aware of this groundbreaking information. Abram Ber, M.D., Homeopathic Physician/Preventive Medicine, Scottsdale, AZ In the last ninety-three years, there have been only two monumental works that have succeeded in explaining the actual cause and treatment of cancer: No. 1 is the Nobel Prizewinning German physician and scientist, Otto Warburg, M.D., Ph.D. work, The Metabolism of Tumours, published in Germany in1910. No. 2 is Professor Brian Scott Peskins The Hidden Story of Cancer, which details a scientific breakthrough that explains Dr. Warburgs research and introduces new science that will prevent cancer. This is undoubtedly a breakthrough of biblical proportions. Bernardo C. Majalca, N.D. Stage Four Cancer Researcher & Consultant, San Diego, CA Earth-Shattering and Historically Significant.

Book Review
The Hidden Story of Cancer
By R. Scott Peskin and A. Habib, 2009, 626 pp., Pinnacle Press Review by William Olkowski, PHD This is a proposed preventative program based on scientific papers in a relatively novel format that convinces me that cancer can be prevented, and if not too far along treated successfully outside conventional medicine. I am already leaning that way so whats new? Well, this book presents some of the scientific background papers and their studied consequences that could convince you too. And it shows that the war on cancer has failed. This could be a prophetic argument one expects before a paradigm shift occurs. I got my copy from Dr. Mathis our personal MD but I wont give it back. I must digest it further. Causes of Cancer Not Genetic, Not Toxicants, Not Microbes Peskin and Habib say the cause of cancer is low oxygen to the cells, which triggers cancerous growth. It is not due to an invader, like a virus or other microbe, and not due to genetics, and not to toxins, although all of these could make things worse. This low oxygen cause was discovered many decades ago and was forgotten, probably because it was written in German (by Dr. Otto Warburg, M.D., Ph.D., a Nobel Prize winner) and awaited translation in recent times. Cancer is produced when the oxygen level of the cell drops by 35%. Then the cell tries to survive by switching to a fermentation process compared to a respiration process to produce energy. The cells that dont die from this oxygen drop turn cancerous and depend upon a fermentation system to generate energy. These can exist on 20% of the normal cells oxygen and subsequent energy production. This later process is also called

11

anaerobic glycolysis. This is therefore a primitive defense mechanism to aid in cell survival. The trouble is that these surviving cells have no way to differentiate into tissues, but remain an undifferentiated mass we call a tumor. What causes low oxygen is not directly explained but one assumes it to be due to dietary factors particularly faulty fats (hydrogenated, = transfats), and improper ratios between essential fats in the diet. Once a cancer starts and the immune system fails to eliminate these cells we get tumors, but in each case there is an unknown lag time until detection, if ever. Cancer is not due to the many secondary sources commonly indicated such as genetic or developmental mutations, microbes or toxicants (smoking, pesticides, air pollution, etc), but a physiological syndrome, which lowers the oxygen to the cells, a sort of starvation. This does not mean these secondary causes have no influence, but to solve the cancer problem one must work on the cause and these authors say that is why the War on Cancer has failed. There is no cure for cancer and even the purported life extension from traditional treatments does only add a few years at best. Thus the choices are poor for someone diagnosed with a cancer that is growing and spreading. The basic question is: Is it worthwhile to treat the cancer or tolerate it and what does the cost/benefit equation look like? Costs for people who have medical insurance are really about what the treatments are like and whether they are tolerable. These questions are not discussed. Pesticides and Cancer? My own favorite cause was pesticide toxicants, but this is challenged by these authors. Secondary sources do not help but they are not the cause. They may stimulate a cancerous process already set in motion, however. This physiological cause can be treated with the proper supplements (essential fatty acids, 6 minerals, low carbohydrate, high protein diets). This is not a cure but a preventative strategy. Once a cell

12

turns cancerous it must be killed, ideally by our immune system. The following is their argument summarized: 1) Medicine has a long history of denial, obfuscation, wrongness and obstinacy in the face of evidence and this cancer story is another one. 2) There is no support for many of the cancer recommendations from the professional medical community and even for many of the cherished recommendations by national bodies, and certainly most physicians. 3) The cause is known to be a lack of oxygen to cells which can be untreated preventatively and curatively with supplements (depending upon the stage. A late stage cancer is difficult at best to treat successfully enough to improve quality and quantity of life). The cause was discovered years ago by a famous physiologist (a Nobel Prize winner), who wrote in German. Now his work has been translated into English. At the time of his discovery there were no good ways to treat cancers, and even now there are no cures, nor easy and cheap ways to treat the maladies under the cancer label. The authors certainly make a convincing, strong case, but without clinical studies of their recommendation, their mostly-prevention strategy is easy to implement. The War on Cancer How we love that term, war. The war on cancer, now on-going for over 30 years, has been a colossal waste in lives, money and materials. [Add this war to the wars in Iraq and the war on drugs.] All cancer rates are going up, costs of treatment are skyrocketing, no cures are evidenced, and early detection does not significantly extend life expectancies beyond what was observed in 1973. Compared to 1900 we have now only increased life expectancy of adults moderately (5-10 years) overall. The major change in life expectancy between 1900 and now is due to increasing the survival of the young, certainly not due to cancer treatments, where 2-5 yrs. at most are gained by surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy all with their problems and stresses.

13

To begin to support their argument the authors cite the following mistakes made by conventional medicine in the past (and even now). [This is a good starter list so I abstract it here with an addition or two.] Note also that corrections eventually occurred but with a variable lag of time. Conventional Medicine has Been Wrong Before Repeatedly. Some Case Histories. 1. Ulcers are caused by bacteria, easily and effectively treated. Acidic secretions do not cause them. The cause was found in 1983 but the information was rejected as being a preposterous hypothesis. It took 19 years before Marshall and associates were awarded a Nobel Prize for their discovery and proof. In the mean time a great deal of suffering and unsuccessful diet recommendations failed. 2. Penicillin use was delayed for decades after discovery. Discovered in 1928, it languished until WWII. Alexander Fleming finally got the Nobel Prize (with two others) in 1945, a delay of 27 years during which untold numbers died. 3. Washing Hands before surgery. Discovered in 1848 by the Dr. Sammelweise, a Vienna Physician who was fired from his Obstetrical clinic for going against the zeitgeist. Doctors would go from autopsy to childbirth and give infections to healthy mothers who died from childbed fever. Sammelweise was hounded out of the profession for his evidenced supported beliefs and practices. It took another 25 years to get doctors to wash before surgery. The delay costs are just hard to fathom. [For a dramatization of these types of experiences see the BBC series called Bramwell, and the movie Wives and Daughters, and the books by Ann Perry.] There were neither anesthetics nor antiseptics in the 1800s. Morphine was available back in the 1800s however. 4. Vaccine delays. Jenners first reports of the use of the smallpox vaccine he tested was rejected by the Royal Society of London,

the US equivalent now is the National Academy of Sciences. This delay caused unknown amount of pain and suffering. Fruits and vegetables are good for you and prevent cancer. Right? No!! Maybe? There is no solid scientific evidence to support this recommendation. In fact one of the basic medical texts (Basic Medical Biochemistry, by Marks and Marks 1995), states that many people dont like vegetables and prefer fruit, but about 50% cant use the fruit sugar (fructose) over 50 grams per serving. Thats about 2 pieces of fruit or 16 grapes. And note that high fructose corn syrup so evident in fruit juices is now being exposed as a metabolic poison. Fruits have been selected for high sugar content so beware recommendations for too much fruit. Fiber prevents colon cancer. NO!! Fiber turns out to be a fiction after 25 years of recommendations. And further, it makes colon cancer worse by irritating the colon. Those who eat the most fiber get the most cancer (see N. Eng. J. of Medicine 340, no. 3). Regular Mammograms are essential. Wrong! In addition to the many false positives it takes 8 years for a tumor to grow until it can be detected by a mammogram. Taking the mammogram actually helps spread the cancerous tissue; this is known from 1928. This is caused by the tight and sometimes painful compression of the breasts required to take the x-ray. Although the fact that this ineffective procedure is a profit-driven technology posing risks compounded by unreliability, just never got to the popular press. The authors go into greater details, which any women worried about breast cancer should read. The detected cancers will remain quiescent until the patient dies from another cause. Meanwhile the patient lives with the idea of cancer in their bodies. Early detection may only raise the stress level. And these cancers do not need to be treated, many of which have been discovered from the emphasis on early detection. Heart Attacks and Cholesterol. 75% of patients have normal levels of LDL and HDL cholesterol yet physicians continue to proscribe cholesterol-lowering medications, even in the face of evidence that these medications cause more problems than they

15

help. Statins are a good example. My wife was forced to take statins (2 of them) after her stroke, which seems really stupid when one knows that muscle weakness is both a major consequence of stroke and that the major side effect of statin use is muscle weakness. Statins are now the number one medicine proscribed in the world (26 million prescriptions is a lot of money). If the majority of the patients who are proscribed a medicine to lower cholesterol dont need it to prevent heart attacks why are they being used? [See the book by Taubes, Good Calories, Bad Calories for a detailed well studied refutation of the low fat hypothesis.] 9. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). The use of biochemically foreign hormones has led to no benefit to post menopausal women but increases risks of heart problems, stroke, breast cancer, and thromboembolic events. Large-scale studies show these problems but bioidentical hormones are different. [This controversy is still on-going even though bioidentical hormones do not show this pattern, nor should they. But studies of bioidentical hormones are not available, nor any comparisons. One can only argue that since the bioidenticals mimic the natural hormones and they do not cause cancer, the compounded naturals should not compared to the synthetic hormones, the molecular structures of which have been changed for patent purposes. So one should add to this list of failures to the use of patented sex hormones (not the bioidentical formulations). ] See the book Sex, Lies and Menopause. 10. Hemoglobin has now been discovered to carry nitric oxide to the surprise of everyone concerned. This was one of the most studied molecules in history. The transport of nitric oxide was discovered in 1996. This is an example of a new major discovery in a subfield where all seemed already resolved. It is an example, both of how little we really know about the body and how science can increase awareness, sometimes in surprising ways, seldom anticipated. A little humility can go a long way to dispel the know it all attitude of many doctors.

16

11. The discovery of Essential Fatty Acids having anticancer effects was known in 1929. This is another example of forgotten science, rediscovered significantly adding to what is known. The use of EFA is discussed further below. 12. Older diuretics are superior to other modern blood pressure medicines. To support this conclusion the authors cite an 8 years study of over 42,000 patients from 600 centers in the US showing that older diuretics are more effective in lowering BPs and heart attacks than the newer drugs (ACE inhibitors, and calcium channel blockers). The citation is not provided but I think its the ALLHAT study (see Houston, Handbook of Hypertension for an update on conventional treatments). 13. Avoid Nitrates in Prepared Foods? Nitrate is a preservative in hot dogs and many other prepared meats. Nitrates have long believed to be linked to stomach cancer from mice and rat studies. Human studies have never provided any causal link. In contrast newer information indicates nitrates as being beneficial. 14. Fish Oil is worthless or at worst dangerous. The authors cite specific papers going back into the early 1990s showing no effect and even deleterious effects on the immune system, and brain. 15. The low fat hypothesis. Eat low fat usually means eating high carbohydrates since protein is too costly and after reducing fats what is left is carbohydrates, which are the cheapest items in the diet. The authors do not directly mention this aspect but this is probably the worst case of current medical recommendations being false and dangerous. For a thorough exploration of this hypothesis see Taubes the investigative reporter who wrote the expose on the low fat hypothesis Good Calories, Bad Calories. A Perspective on the Scientific Process The authors build their case about cancer prevention and treatment by carefully and interestingly providing scientific documents along with their interpretation. This is a very useful format for presenting sciencebased protocols for treatment and prevention. A few of the quotes they

17

use I have collected below, high lighting the authors comments are so useful in understanding where these authors are coming from. We are suffering from a wealth of information, but a poverty of understanding what that information means. B. Peskin. This refers to the long discussions these authors provide about the extensive current research, which supports their statements. Clearly doctors are behind in accessing the research, sometimes many decades. The general physician has little time to read the literature, even if they could sort through the maze of statistics and conclusions. And why read up on recent work when the drug companies send reps to educate the doctors. Also, a lack of critical thinking skills is widespread in the industry. And the use of elaborate statistical procedures adds to the confusion, as do the interpretations of combining studies in metaanalyses with different time periods and treatment protocols. And then there are the insurance companies, which add or remove drugs from their lists without much input from patients and their doctors. The definition of madness is to do the same thing and expect a different outcome. Einstein. This refers to the war on cancer, which is a dismal failure, yet continues sucking up great amounts of money, time and equipment. And the madness continues. Discovery consists of seeing what everyone has seen and thinking what nobody else has thought Szent-Gyorgyi (discoverer of vitamin C). This refers to the discoverer of the cause of cancer, by Dr. Otto Warburg, who discovered the cause, but because he was so far ahead of his time, nobody paid attention. And then there would be a fight to introduce something new, which seems to always be resisted.

18

A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponent eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it. Max Plank (Nobel Prize winner in physics) This last quote is particularly relevant to this book as the common knowledge that eating lots of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and a minimum of red meat and fat is todays unsupported zeitgeist. There is no scientific support for this regime. [A case in point: today we are waiting for the low-fat people to die.] The Treatment Program The program recommended by these authors has three parts: 1) Use of a proper ratio of parental Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) 2) Supplementation with chelated minerals. 3) A high protein, high fat low carbohydrate diet. Supplementation with Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) from parent sources, not from derivatives. Use of EFAs (The word essential means the body cannot make them, and must get them in the diet): The two EFAs needed by the body are Linolenic acid (LA) and Alpha-Linoleic Acid (ALA). The main sources are meats, seeds, but less so from seafood. Although these parent EFAs are widely distributed in plant oils, the amounts are so small that one needs to eat an impossible number of plants to get an adequate amount. The human body has a limited ability to convert ALA into the longer-chain n-3 fatty acids Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which can also be obtained from fish, (but in low levels). (From Wikipedia, essential fatty acids, 6/2011). Further, buying supplements that are labeled as DHA or EPA commonly means they are not parent sources, being somewhat

19

processed (labels can be confusing). The best source is parent, but if the best is not possible, take the derivative supplements but these need to be in the proper proportion and not too old. The optimal ratio between the two EFAs is within the range of 1 to 1 (expressed as 1:1) up to 2:1 parent Omega-6 to parent Omega 3. A deficiency in these two EFAs is what produces the oxygen shortage and cancers. Store these oils in the fridge and be sure to buy the smallest bottles. Biochemistry Background which are opaque to exclude sunlight which degrades oils. These fatty acids (AL, ALA) form the bulk of the fat portion of the cell wall, which is about half fat and half protein. The body is composed of about 100 trillion cells. This is the main membrane across which all nutrients in the body must pass to get into the cell where the energy and structural molecules are made. This membrane has no carbohydrate structural components. The fat component is divided into saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. [Polyunsaturated fatty acids are also called PUFAs]. The saturated fat protects the highly reactive unsaturated fats in the membrane. The PUFAs in the proper ratio absorb oxygen from the blood stream like a magnet. Low oxygen causes cancerous reproduction of the cell. The gas (O2) diffuses readily thru the hydrophobic (fat) membrane portion, but not through a transfat or saturated fat part. Inside the cell these fats are also incorporated into the mitochondrial membrane, which also becomes dysfunctional. The mitochondria are the energy producers of the cell, which is the basic source for the bodys energy. Membrane dysfunction leads to oxygen depletion, which leads to cancer, which kills you slowly and miserably. Gross fatigue is a major symptom of cancer. Avoid any derivatives but get these EFAs from foods unless you cannot get adequate amounts on a daily basis. With the right ratio of

20

EFAs 1:1 to 2:1 omega 6 to omega 3 EFAs. Food sources of EFAs are primarily meats, less so from seeds and even less so in seafood. Supplementation with chelated minerals (Cu, Fe, Se, Mg, Me, Zn) (chelation means being attached to an amino acid which aids in absorption), and High protein low carbohydrate diets (and no processed foods) with the proper ratio between parent EFAs. Some Final Thoughts I continue to look into this book for further clarifications and I have started the regime they describe, as it is very close to what we were already doing with some minor changes. We already eat only grass fed meats (beef, buffalo, etc). I went to the health food stores and studied their oils and found that there are only two oils I could use to meet the proper ratios: hemp oil and flax oil. So I bought both and alternate them one day using hemp oil, the next day flax oil in our coffee and sour cream mixtures (as of 710-11). This store is very busy so the restocking rates are favorable. Both oils come in opaque containers, one in glass, which minimizes foreign substance ingestions. The best foods come in glass; avoid plastics whenever possible so as to not take in the plasticizers. Next I searched for a good supplement or more to get a steady supply of chelated minerals, but there was no single product at the local health food stores and chelated sources were not obvious except for magnesium (Mg). So now this regime hangs up temporarily until I find such sources for the reminder of the minerals. Meanwhile I am added a mineral mix to our drinking water, and using a liquid multivitamin mix in our coffee and sour cream mixes. I have ordered a product via the web called Mineral 650 from pure encapsulations which has a good range of minerals, but in low doses more like what one can get from a good multivitamin. And we frequently use nuts in our munchies diet while watching loads of absorbing movies.

21

We eat little fruit because of the sugars they contain as we eat very little carobs (=sugar) in all forms and no food that quickly converts to sugars (like grains, pastas. bread, etc). This is because of preventing type II diabetes. So this new regime is no discomfort, little change and these authors confirms again my belief that sugars and bad fats are at the basis of reduced and painful death processes. If these authors are wrong, I risk little since shifting to parent EFAs from my previous EPA-DHA supplements in pill form is not risky. Besides I like the idea of using hemp and flax oils, and they are easy to mix at low doses even though the taste is strange to our palettes.

The Hidden Story of Cancer A synopsis

Posted by Jonathan Chamberlain on May 1, 2008

The Hidden Story of Cancer By Prof. Brian Scott Peskin and Dr. Amid Habib Pinnacle Press, POB 56507, Houston, Texas 77256 See: http://www.brianpeskin.com The cancer process starts from cell wall structure damage from damaged or modified polyunsaturated oils which results in low oxygen transfer to cells by virtue of improper fatty acid composition of the cell walls slow cellular damage over a period of time by either the withholding of oxygen to the cell or a poison introduced to the cell. Most poisons in greater quantity will kill cells outright avoiding cancer by doing so. The problem is that oxidative damage over a period of time will turn on an anaerobic process in the cells whereby the cells try not to die but to go

22

into an anaerobic mode whereby they can survive and this will initiate cancer. The withholding of only 35% of oxygen will damage the cells and set this process in motion. The main way oxygen gets withheld from the cells is by a nutritional process whereby improper oils and/or improper amounts of carbohydrates are consumed over a period of time (it is a slow process). It is interesting that if a solid substance (of any type) is implanted under the skin the vasculization supplied to the cells surrounding the solid object will not support adequate oxygen to those cells and cancer will resultso much for implantable microchips & RFIDs. There again, adequate Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) may offset this inherent process of limited oxygen supply turning healthy cells to anaerobic cancerous cells. When excess carbohydrates are consumed (the body needs surprisingly few as the body can make them) the blood becomes sticky and also the speed of blood flow is reduced. Since speed of supplying oxygen to the cells is of essence such that venous blood has some oxygen this sets the cancer process in motion. Also, low amounts of iron in the body will not allow hemoglobin to transport the needed oxygen to the cells. When the cells respiration is damaged due to the above factors in order to protect themselves they enter in an anaerobic process to survive much like your muscles use both an anaerobic process for motion and also an oxidative process. Lactic acid is produced by the damaged cells for energy in a single reaction by the reduction of pyruvic acid by dihydronicotinamide to lactic acid (low efficiency energy production) and the cell burns sugar to promote this processsugar including fructose is to be avoided (try Stevia). Note that the end products of the oxidation of pyruvic acid, which are H2O and CO2, are only reached after many additional reactions. Warburg deduced that a process requiring just one step (fermentation) is much more probable than one requiring many steps (respiration). Note that impaired respiration can be easily replaced by fermentation, because both processes have a common catalyst, nicotinamide.

23

Nevertheless most cells die before becoming cancerous; its the ones that dont cause the problem. Note that it doesnt matter if the foods are high glycemic index or low glycemic index as the ultimate glucose level will be high (ultimately in time, the low GI level will be the higher of the two). The damaged cells produce lactic acid in greater amounts by far than tired muscles will produce lactic acid. The lactic acid will produce acidosis and the body pH will become lower. This can be measured by pH paper. The muscles upon working to the tired state will produce a burning sensation when the body has excess lactic acid. The damaged cells also promote angiogenesis (blood vessel formation) to supply what the cancer cells needs in this fermentation (of glucose) mode whereby an undamaged properly oxygenated cell cannot do this. The anaerobic process that the cells enter into does not support complex cell structures whereby the oxidative process does support complex structures. The anaerobic process thereby starts a primitive cell nondifferentiated, rapid cell growth known as cancer which is the equilibrium state (sugar fermentative) in life, as the forced state is the oxygen (healthy) state. Once this process has taken place for those cancerous cells those cancerous cells cannot be returned back to normal cells, they are damaged forever. Proper oxygenation of cells will ensure that those cells will not develop cancer and will prevent metastasization of the cancer cells. Cancer that does not metastasize will usually not kill the cancer victim. There are `sleeping cancer cells where they have not made the total conversion to full cancer cells. It is thought that these are vulnerable to extra oxygen (via EFAs) and to withholding sugar (via low carbohydrates). Proper oxygenation of the cells is achieved by the proper ratio of EFAs (essential fatty acids), the correct ratio of omega-6 (Linoleic Acid, LAsuch as sesame oil) to omega-3 (linolenic, ALAsuch as flax seed oilnot fish oil) which is anywhere from 2 to 1 (LA to ALA) to 1:1 (Note: 3 grams to 6 grams is considered about right for a 150 lb. personmore can be ingested as the excess will be burned off). Omega-9 oils (olive oil, high oleic oils) do not carry oxygen well enough. Saturated oils (coconut oil, etc) do not carry oxygen. Never

24

ingest Canola oil or Soy oils. Proper oxygenation is achieved by the blood delivering enough oxygen to the cells and the cells accepting that oxygen. Note that cholesterol transports EFAs to the cells and there is no such thing, practically speaking, as too much cholesterol but there is such a thing as oxidized LDL cholesterol (toxic). The speeding up of the supplied blood is accomplished by reducing the consumption of carbohydrates to what the body requires which is a surprisingly small amount. Also adequate iron must be in the diet for red blood cells to deliver oxygen to cells. Blood clots (even small clots) will also impair blood oxygen delivery to the cells. Anti-coagulants have proved to stop cancer metastasizing (even in heart attack and stroke victims). The cells may have been originally damaged by improper oils such as highly processed artificial supermarket omega-6 oils or even rancid true seed oils (as opposed to fresh seed oils) which the body incorporates into the cell just like the genuine omega-6 seed oil. The processed `supermarket oil is not oxygen transporting since it was created not to absorb oxygen so that the oil would not spoil on the supermarket shelf and also rancid oil will not transport oxygen. The proper seed oils will eventually spoil in the bottle because the proper seed oils absorb oxygen, but since undamaged seed oils can absorb oxygen they can transport oxygen in the body through the cell wall. LDL cholesterol transports the EFAs into your cells (regardless of good or bad EFAs). If you reduce your LDL with statin drugs you rob your cells of the needed EFAs assuming you were ingesting the good EFAs. The level of cholesterol in your body is relatively unimportant as long as it is high enough; the important thing is the sufficient level of good EFAs in the proper ratio is transported to the cells.

25

Some Points By Abram Ber, M.D. (Homeopathic Physician / Preventive Medicine) Omega-3 oils can be damaging if not in the proper ratios with omega-6 undamaged oils. Obviously, omega-3 oils are essential, however the popular literature has overstressed them and promoted fish oil which can be taken to extremes and become damaging to the body. The body uses omega-6/omega- 3 in different ratios depending on the particular organ. The brain uses a 1:1 ratio. Most organs use a 4:1 ratio. The muscles use a 6:1 ratio. There is very little omega-3 in skin. The oil to use is the undamaged parent omega-6 and omega-3 oils (no transfats), the original organic seed oils. The derivatives (DHA, EPA, GLA, CLA) can be made by the body from the parent oils; its only the parent oils that should be consumed. Olive oil does not transfer oxygen as efficiently as omega-6 oils. Coconut oils and palm oils are saturated oils and therefore do not transfer oxygen although those oils do have good qualities and are good for high temperature cooking. Do not attempt to cook with omega-6 or omega-3 oils as you would turn them into harmful transfats by doing so (theyre polyunsaturated). Meats have good EFAs if organically raised, grass-fed, but cooking partially destroys them. Cheese, (not low fat) organic, grassfed, non-pasteurized (get a cheese cured with sea salt) is a good way to get EFAs as they need not be cooked and the EFAs will be available. In Italy (Dr. Cavalino) they found that giving EFAs to athletes prior to games protected the muscles from lactic acid buildup and there was no muscle pain after the games. The EFAs had oxygenated the muscles sufficiently. The lactic acid buildup from cancer greatly exceeds the lactic acid buildup from overworked muscles. If you test your pH (saliva) with pH paper you can determine your pH level which is an indication of your lactic acid level. A pH of 7.4 would be optimum (in the morning the pH level will be less, i.e., more acid, and in the afternoon it will reach a maximum pH which is more basic). It is also

26

important to take in minerals (chelatednot from vegetables due to phytates in vegetables and note that minerals have been depleted in the soil), which are also known as co-enzymes, for maximum respiratory efficiency including iron salts, riboflavin, nicotinamide [niacin], and pantothenic acid. Vitamins are usually adequately supplied by properly grown meat. One should also avoid carcinogens (which damage cellular respiration).

Dr. Otto Warburg's Anti-Cancer Discovery

Ralph W. Moss, PhD, wrote about Warburg's discovery in the Townsend Letter ("War on Cancer," May 2007). Otto Warburg, MD, PhD has been referred to as the greatest biochemist of the twentieth century; the sheer number and magnitude of his discoveries qualify him as the most accomplished biochemist of all time. Despite the fact that much of his groundbreaking work on cancer has been overlooked by the large research institutes, no scientist or researcher has ever disproved the validity, correctness, or applicability of Warburg's important discoveries as they relate to the prevention and cure of cancer. The Prime Cause of Cancer We have become so accustomed to having almost every discovery in the battle to defeat cancer, after a time, be called into question that the following strains credibility. Otto Warburg discovered, then clearly and simply stated, that the prime cause of cancer is oxygen deprivation at the cellular level. "We find by experiment about 35% inhibition of oxygen respiration already suffices to bring about such a transformation during cell growth," he stated at a 1966 conference of Nobel laureates in Lindau, Germany. "... Summarized in a few words, the prime cause of cancer is the replacement of the respiration of oxygen in normal body cells by a fermentation of sugar. Because no cancer cell exists, the respiration of which is intact, it cannot be

27

disputed that cancer could be prevented if the respiration of the body cells would be kept intact.... If it is so much decreased that the oxygentransferring enzymes are no longer saturated with oxygen, respiration can decrease irreversibly, and normal cells can be transformed into facultative anaerobes". It is that simple: with just one-third less cellular oxygen than normal, you contract cancer. Based on meticulous experiments that he and many others verified numerous times, Dr. Warburg discovered the prime cause of cancer is sustaining a 35% inhibition of cellular respiration. You won't feel the decreased cellular oxygenation, and you won't know it is happening. Yet if cellular oxygen can be kept above this deprivation threshold, cancer cells will not be able to form." Exercise supplies additional oxygen to the blood; however, this doesn't address transfer of oxygen through the cell membrane. That's why elite athletes still develop cancer. Warburg stated: "To be sure, cancer development takes place even in the presence of free oxygen gas in the atmosphere, but this oxygen may not penetrate in sufficient quantity into the growing body cells, or the respiratory apoenzymes of the growing body cells may not be saturated with the active groups." Warburg addressed the danger of impaired cellular oxygen transfer even in the presence of oxygen. Dr. Warburg's discovery has been verified over and over again (never called into question), both as to how normal cells turn cancerous and in showing that cancer doesn't develop in highly oxygenated areas. Two American physicians conclusively proved this in 1953, and two more investigators confirmed this finding in 1955. Goldblatt and Cameron noted in the Journal of Experimental Medicine that once damage is too great to the cell, then no amount of oxygen will return the cell's respiration back to normal: it is forever doomed to a cancerous life. However, they confirmed that it is possible to prevent a "respiration impacted" precancerous cell from becoming permanently cancerous if oxygen deficiency is stopped early enough. In 1955, Malmgren and Flanigan confirmed the oxygen/cancer cause in an ingenious experiment with

28

tetanus spores. Consequently, prevention is the ultimate solution to conquering cancer. Greater Oxygen Deprivation = Worse Prognosis Articles in cancer journals confirm the decreased oxygen/increased cancer prognosis. "Tumor hypoxia [too little oxygen in the cell] adversely affects the prognosis of carcinoma of the head and neck". Analysis showed significantly lower survival and recurrence-free survival for patients with a median pO2 of 10 mmHg compared to those with better oxygenated tumors (median pO2 > 10 mmHg). Median pO2 and the clinical stage according to the FIGO are independent, highly significant predictors of survival and recurrence-free survival. Tumor oxygenation predicts for the likelihood of distant metastases [cancer spreading] in human soft tissue sarcoma. Greater cellular oxygen deprivation/ hypoxia is directly correlated with a worse prognosis, shorter lifespan, and greater risk of metastases. A New Hypothesis: Cancer Develops When Cell Membranes Oxygenation Capability is compromised With Warburg's observations as the basis of this hypothesis, we posed the question of what could cause cells to become oxygen-deficient to the degree (35%) that they would become cancerous, and what dietary commonalities or deficiencies might have come to exist over the last 50 years that would predispose an ever increasing number of people to develop cancer. Cell Oxygenation and Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) We focused on the primary oxygen absorption function of cells. The body requires special fats which, among other important functions, make it possible for sufficient oxygen to reach the cells via the cell membranes. These special fats are highly oxygen-absorbing entities called essential fatty acids (EFAs) and must be consumed daily, because the body can't manufacture them on its own. Consumption of

29

two primary or "parent" forms of EFAs allow the body to make whatever EFA "derivatives" it needs from them. These two primary forms are parent Omega-6, termed Linoleic acid (LA), and parent Omega-3, termed alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). Supplemental EFAderivatives like EPA and DHA, though available, are not required because the body makes them as needed.

The Hidden Story of Cancer

Prof. Brian Scott Peskin, B.S.E.E., M.I.T., Founder: LifeSystems Engineering Science with Amid Habib, M.D., F.A.A.P., F.A.C.E., Clinical Researcher (1) 2006 Brian Scott Peskin and Pinnacle Press. What makes this information different? Doesnt everyone say they have The Answer? I will tell you the hidden story of cancer. In telling this story, you will discover how cancer is contracted and how to avoid contracting cancer by making simple dietary modifications. If you already have cancer or are in remission you will learn about scientifically based recommendations to survive this heartless killer. Questions at the top of your list should be: What is the science behind this discovery? Are renowned physicians around-the-world impressed? Do real-life results overwhelmingly confirm success (an 80+% success rate)? What you are about to discover uniquely satisfies all of these anticancer requirements. America Under Siege

30

Cancer was once an uncommon disease affecting a small percentage of Americans. In 1900, only 3% of the population died of cancer (2). But now, cancer has become so common that virtually everyone knows someone afflicted with this terrible disease. In fact, for the average American, contraction of cancer isnt the exception; instead, it has become the rule (3). Weve come to accept cancer as unstoppable, incurable, and even a natural part of life. This perception is a tragedy since cancer is not a natural disease for man and is preventable. Everyones Looking In The Wrong Place For The Cure. Shocking to most people is the scientific fact that cancer is genetically recessive, not dominant. The human body is highly resistant to cancer. An amazing professor at Oxford proved previous scientists theories wrong and shook the cancer research community to its core. Professor Henry Harris took normal tissue cells and fused three types of cancer cells to them. Surely, he thought, the cancer cells would take over the normal cells and convert them into cancer. Surprisingly, they grew normally (4). In fact, contrary to popular opinion, in man, cancer takes several decades to develop (5). Given this long incubation period, science can show us the way to destroy any initial pre-cancerous cells and keep the cancerous ones from causing widespread damage. If you think cancer has a genetic basis, then think again. Regarding the huge effort to explain cancer with genetics, Dr. Robert A. Weinberg of M.I.T., discoverer of the so-called oncogene (cancercausing genes), and one of the worlds leading cancer researchers, reversed his conclusions after discovering that, [Fewer than one DNA base in a million appears to have been miscopied.] Its not enough of a defect (6)! His exact words, Something was very wrong. The notion that a cancer developed through the successive activation of a series of oncogenes [cancer-causing genes] had lost its link to reality. Dr. Weinberg reversed his opinion; calling the genetic discoveries made thus far, sterile

31

the prime cause of cancer is therefore not genetic. This was in 1998. Did you hear it? Probably not. In 2006, the heads of the worlds largest cancer research center in Houston, Texas (USA) know cancers prime cause isnt genetic: If it could have happened [solving cancer with genetics], it would have already happened with genetic mutations, said William Brinkley, a senior vice-president at Baylor who says other research should take precedence over the cancer genome project. Dr. John Mendelsohn [president of M.D. Anderson Cancer Center] states, Any claims that this [genetic research] is going to be the key to curing cancer are not appropriate (7). Thus, the prime cause of cancer is not a genetic mutation. Even if cancer runs in your family, there is real hope. Unfortunately, the geneticists have it backwards, attempting to force the facts to fit their geneticallybased theories when they dont fit the facts, because as Professor Harris demonstrated many years ago, cancer isnt genetically dominant. Perhaps because everyone is looking in the wrong area explains why M.D. Anderson Cancer Center has a department of structural engineers. Why would a hospital require this? In short, because they have to build so many more spaces for additional cancer beds that it is more cost effective than using outside builders as would be expected. Winning the war on cancer really means pitifully, to build more beds for the increasing number of cancer victims. Where does this leave us? Where can we look for solutions? What about the popular nutritional solutions to fighting cancer? The Popular Anticancer Solutions Dont Work We are all diligently following the experts recommendations in the hopes of winning the war on cancer. Unfortunately, virtually none of what we have been told is based on science. Next is a list of supposed solutions along with the date of their published failures in the worlds leading medical journals. Many of us never hear of the retractions and consequently keep following methods

32

that dont protect us from contracting cancer. How many of these outdated, ineffective anticancer solutions are you still following? (a) Fruits and vegetables, even the green leafy ones dont protect against contracting breast cancer (2001) (8). (b) Fiber worsens colon cancer rather than helping prevent it (2000) (9). The type of fiber found worthless to protect against colon cancer was the highly promoted soluble fiber. A highfiber diet actually promotes cancer because it irritates your delicate colon. We dont have the four stomachs required, like cows do, to digest cellulose. (c) In 2001, Samuel S. Epstein, M.D. (Chairman of the Cancer Prevention Coalition), Rosalie Bertell, and Barbara Seaman published an article exposing truths about mammography that most women have never been told (10) Contrary to popular belief and assurances by the U.S. media mammography is not a technique for early diagnosis. In fact, a breast cancer has usually been present for about eight (8) years before it can finally be detected. (d) Fish oil recommendations are worthless in preventing cancer and may be hazardous to your health. The International Society for the Study of Fatty Acids and Lipids (ISSFAL) 4th Congress, which met on June 4-9, 2000 in Tsukuba, Japan, reported the following: (11) Studies indicate that at the levels used, fish oil [comprised of Omega-3 derivatives] decrease a wide range of immune cell responses (natural killer cell, cytotoxic T lymphocyte activities, lymphocyte proliferation and production of IL-2 and IFN-y (1,2)), Recent studies have indicated that relatively low levels of the long chain Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA or DHA)are sufficient to bring about some of the suppressive effects , This decrease (of inhibited lymphocyte proliferation and natural killer cell activity) causes increased cellular bacteria [infection] and impaired tumor cell killing. Any substance causing impaired tumor cell killing ability is cancer-causing the opposite of what we desire. With so many of us consuming fish oil, could this be another reason that cancer contraction rates are increasing instead

33

of decreasing? Fish oil is worthless in preventing heart disease, too, and Harvard Medical School warned us years ago, but too few Americans listened (12) Consuming whole fish instead of fish oil failed, too (13) Thats why the Japanese have greater cancer rates and greater heart disease rates than Americans. Cancer has been Japans #1 cause of death since 1981 (14). The popular press doesnt often disclose these startling facts. We are misled again. In 2006 the Omega-3 anticancer fallacy was exposed: (15) A large body of literature spanning numerous cohorts from many countries and with different demographic characteristics does not provide evidence to suggest a significant association between Omega-3 fatty acids and lack of cancer incidence. Dietary supplementations with Omega-3 fatty acids are unlikely to prevent cancer. In the most comprehensive review to date, published in British Medical Journal, reviewing 96 trials, including 44 trials with supplements and 5 trials consisting of mainly ALA (parent Omega-3) from plants like flax with the remainder being fish oil, confirms anticancer failure: (16) We found no evidence that Omega 3 fats had an effect on the incidence of cancer and there was no inconsistency., This systematic review assessed the health effects of using Omega-3 fats (together or separately) on total mortality, cardiovascular events, cancer, and strokes in a wide variety of participants and found no evidence of a clear benefit of Omega-3 fats on health. Unfortunately, in spite of these facts, most physicians around-the-world still recommend fish oil to prevent both cancer and heart disease. (e) Soy wont protect you against contracting cancer, either. Every day the properties of soy are touted by nutritionists, physicians, and popular health and beauty publications. The health magazines continue to extol its virtues. None of this is based on science. There is another, hazardous side to soy, based strictly on scientific research that you need to know (warnings published 1960 onwards). For example, The New England Journal of Medicine article, Soybean Goiter: Report of Three Cases, (17) details three cases of infants developing goiter when they were consuming

34

soybean formula. The condition was rapidly eliminated in two of the infants when the soy formula was terminated. The third child was cured when iodine was added to the diet. What did soy formula have to do with thyroid (goiter) problems? Soybeans are a source of isoflavonoids, including genistein and daidzein. Contrary to popular belief and what is often reported in the media, they are both hazardous to your health. The following comes from Biochemical Pharmacology, Vol. 54, 1087- 1096, 1997: Soybeans contain compounds (genistein and daidzeinthe active ingredients) that inhibit [interfere with] thyroid peroxidase (TPO) which is essential to thyroid hormone synthesis [production]. Soybeans are NOT good for the thyroid! The popular so-called phytoestrogens genistein and daidzein are actually endocrine disruptors. Women around-the-world have been misled. What does soy formula have to do with the iodine deficiency? Soy contains phytates which magnetize out essential nutrients like iodine. Today, the FDA, Americas Food and Drug Administration, Department of Health and Human Services, lists over 270 records of soy in a database at FDA PLUS Plant Database (November 2004 Revision). Their website will shock you as you discover that soy is anything but a health food.(18) This data base contains references to the scientific literature describing studies of the toxic properties and effects of plants and plant parts. They clearly know the potential soy-cancer connection concerning goiter [enlargement of the thyroid] from soy by their statement: Feeding of soybean products and development of goiter. I thank the excellent book published in 2005 titled, The Whole Soy Story, The Dark Side of Americas Favorite Health Food, by Kaayla T. Daniel, PhD, CCN, for furnishing this website, and other exceptional harmful facts about soy. (19) You need to know that infants fed soy formula consistently experience thyroid problems. There is an 18% higher incidence of autoimmune thyroid disease in infants who are fed soy formula. (20) Soy harms your immune system, too. Back in 1975, the Canadian Journal of Biochemistry reported that

35

soybeans actually weaken your immune system: (21) Soybean trypsin inhibitor was found to inhibit transformation of human lymphocytes. Heres why this happens. Trypsin is an enzyme produced by your pancreas used in digesting protein, and is critical for antibody production. An inhibitor is something that disables. Think of it like having one foot on the gas and another on the brake of your automobile at the same time. Your cars engine would blow-up. So a trypsin inhibitor will irritate your pancreas, stressing it to produce hormones when it cant, leading to decreased oxygenation from the irritation. Soy prevents the protein you eat from being fully utilized and digested. Your immune system cant get fueled with proper antibodies and lymphocytes a double whammy. Therefore, soy is cancer-causing to your pancreas and cancer of the pancreas is typically a death sentence. Because of bad advice, many women, especially, have decreased the amount of cancer fighting animal-based protein they consume in favor of soy. Resist this incorrect advice and minimize your chances of contracting both thyroid and pancreatic cancer. Physicians are often out of date concerning the latest anticancer research. Many of my physician colleagues were shocked to discover these truths. How many of us saw these important medical journal findings reported in the popular press? Unfortunately, not enough of us. Dont despair because there is an anticancer answer; it was discovered back in 1925 by Nobel Prize-winner Otto Warburg, M.D., and Ph.D. A genius to the rescue Otto Warburg has been referred to as the greatest biochemist of the 20th century; the sheer number and magnitude of his discoveries qualify him as the most accomplished biochemist of all time. (22) Dr. Warburg ranks with Tesla, Galileo, Newton, Pauling, Feynman, and Einstein in terms of the importance of his

36

discoveries. Dr. Warburg earned his Doctor of Chemistry at Berlin University in 1906, after initially studying under the great German chemist, Emil Fischer. Warburg then studied medicine and earned his Doctor of Medicine at Heidelberg University in 1911. (23) His father was a famous physicist and university professor, and highly influenced young Warburgs analytical ability. The famous biologist (and Nobel Prize-winner), Hans Krebs, tells us in his 1981 book, (24) that Warburg had formed his lifes ambition to cure cancer (Dr. Warburgs mother died of cancer) prior to his graduation from the university, and that, ...It became his ambition to make a major contribution to research into cancer and especially to find a cure. Although he did not begin to work specifically on cancer until 1922, much of his earlier work appears in retrospect to have been a preparation for his fundamental attack on cancer. (25) In 1918, the year World War I ended, Warburg was appointed Professor at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Biology in Berlin-Dahlem. (26) In the 1920s, he carried on the research on respiratory enzymes, certain vitamins and minerals that the body requires for the utilization of oxygen in the cells, which eventually earned him the Nobel Prize in 1931. Today, these vitamins and minerals are termed coenzymes. In or about 1930, a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation was used to establish the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Cell Physiology in Dahlem, a suburb of Berlin. Dr. Warburg was appointed its director in 1931, and he remained there for the rest of his career. Recognition of the Promise of Warburgs Discoveries In his 1931 presentation speech for Dr. Warburgs Nobel Prize, Professor E. Hammarsten of the Royal Caroline Institute, member of the Nobel Committee for Physiology or Medicine, made clear what he believed to be the groundbreaking nature of Dr. Warburgs anticancer discoveries: ....The medical world expects great things from your experiments on cancer and other tumors, experiments which seem already to be sufficiently far

37

advanced to be able to furnish an explanation for at least one cause of the destructive and unlimited growth of these tumors. The Nobel Committee clearly expected the medical world to benefit through Otto Warburgs vital discoveries about cancer. Unfortunately, politics intervened and cancer wasnt eradicated. Dr. Warburg Fostered Other Nobel Prize Winners It is also worth noting that three of the scientists who studied and worked under Dr. Warburgs tutelageOtto Fritz Meyerhof, Hans Adolf Krebs and Axel Hugo Theodor Theorellwent on to win Nobel Prizes for their own discoveriesan unprecedented accomplishment. Dr. Warburg was one of the first cancer researchers and his insights and discoveries were incredible. Despite his early successes and honors, Dr. Warburg continued to make major fundamental discoveries throughout his later years as well, capping off an amazingly fruitful 60-year career in research. In addition, Dr. Warburg often created new tools for his research. For example, he discovered how to measure the pressure of oxygen in a living cell by developing a special manometer to measure the partial pressure of oxygen (pressure attributed to oxygen only)a very important development that led to his discovery that low oxygen concentration and pressure always presaged the development of cancer. His insight in the area of experimental biochemical technique was singular. Dr. Warburg never lectured students, never served on committees, and never performed administrative work. He preferred to be regarded as an artisana highly skilled technicianand selected his staff on their technical ability only. Dr. Warburgs training influenced by physicsnot medicine.

38

Dr. Warburgs father was a noted physicist and Warburg learned to solve medical problems in the manner of a physicist. His training and background were very different than his contemporaries or todays cancer researchers. Maybe this deficiency of training is the root cause of todays cancer researchers failures.

Opposition To Warburgs Research and Arbitrary Rejection By The Scientific Community One might assume that Warburg would be required study for all medical students, especially cancer physicians. But this turns out not to be true. In spite of his accomplishments, no important biochemist or scientist has met with so much controversy and resistance, nor has acceptance of his work been so long delayed. Their jealousy of him got in the way of stopping cancer cold. As any internet search will show, Otto Warburgs results in anticancer science arent well publicized and are rarely even mentioned. Even after half a century, Dr.Warburgs discoveries havent been utilized in any significant way by todays medical researchers. The majority of medical researchers and scientists simply havent heard of him or of his startling experimental results. As incredible as it may sound to someone outside the scientific and medical worlds, even the American National Cancer Institute has failed to pursue Dr. Warburgs work to its practical implementation. The importance of Dr. Warburgs achievement was that he isolated the functional prime cause of cancer. Rather than working on a theoretical level too far removed from the physiological realities of cancer to be able to provide practical therapies and preventive programs, he described the actual conditions in the cells that set up and cause cancer, and by doing this, made it possible for others to later develop functional, practical ways to inhibit the development of cancer. Dr. Warburg spent the last 50 years of his life placing a significant emphasis

39

on cancer research. It is appalling that no significant principle out of his numerous discoveries has been utilized by the U.S. medical research community for cancer prevention, treatment and remission retention. Despite the expression of opinions disputing the direction and validity of Warburgs work, no scientist or researcher has ever disproved the validity, correctness or applicability of these important discoveries to the prevention and cure of cancer. Even today, medical consensus often has little to do with science. Politics has squandered the efforts of many cancer researchers. Let me reiterate: No scientist or researcher has ever disproved the validity, correctness or applicability of Warburgs discoveries to the prevention and cure of cancer. Dr. Warburgs Staunchest Supporter The American National Cancer Institute One important cancer scientist never wavered in his support for Dr. Warburgs discoveries about the prime cause of cancer. In 1937, Dean Burk became a co-founder of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in the United States. He headed its Cytochemistry department for over three decades. From 1950 until 1969, Burk spent most of his summers in Berlin, translating Warburgs works into English. Burk himself wrote more than 250 scientific articles, and he won the American Chemical Societys Hillebrand Prize in 1953 and the Gerhard Domagk Prize in 1965 for distinguishing the differences between a normal cell and the one damaged by cancer. Dean Burk co-authored with Hans Lineweaver the most frequently cited paper in biochemistry, The determination of enzyme disassociation constants (Journal of the American Chemical Society, 1934(9). At the National Cancer Institute since 1939, Dr. Burk retired as head of cytochemistry there in 1974. Dean Burkes work was published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. (27) While other scientists became increasingly

40

focused on aberrant genes and viruses as the supposed source of cancer in man, Burk continued to give full credit and credibility to Dr. Warburgs discoveries about the formation of cancer cells. Burk never agreed with those who had replaced the search for truth with the more fashionable and fund-generating genetics research. Dr. Burk supported Dr. Warburg throughout his career and lifetime. Many universities, like Harvard, Oxford, and Heidelberg have warded Dr. Warburg honorary degrees in recognition of his accomplishments. Unfortunately, a practical anticancer solution wasnt available in Warburgs time, like it is today. The Prime Cause of Cancer as Discovered by Otto Warburg, M.D., Ph.D. Brace yourself. We have become so accustomed to being told that someday we might discover what causes cancer, and that cancer is the major medical mystery of our modern time, that you might find it hard to believe the following. Otto Warburg discovered, and clearly stated, the prime, most basic cause of cancer:

Too Little Oxygen to the Cell

We find by experiment about 35% inhibition of oxygen respiration already suffices to bring about such a transformation during cell growth.(28) Thats it! It sounds very simple, doesnt it? Just 1/3 less oxygen than normal and you contract cancer. Based on meticulous experiments that he and many others verified numerous times, Dr. Warburg discovered and stated that the prime, number one cause of cancer is simply too little oxygen in the cell (hypoxia). It gets worse because once a cell becomes cancerous; it cant return to normal, it must be destroyed. (29) When I first encountered this information, I didnt believe it. Even now, there is still no one who is more shocked than I am! Educated in highly complex mathematics, engineering and physics, along with probability and statistics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, I have also studied biochemistry and physiology. I doubted that the anticancer

41

solution could be so simple. So I spent the next three years trying to prove it wrong. The more I researched the more solid this finding appeared to be. Instead of finding evidence to prove Dr. Warburg wrong, the opposite occurred; everything I found published at the Houston Academy of Medicines library and even M.D. Anderson Cancer Centers Medical Library lent more support and proof that Dr. Warburg was correct. No one believes it at first glance and I dont expect you to believe it, either. That is, not until you see all the evidence. Then you will. Uniquely, Dr. Warburgs discovery gives us the most powerful anticancer answer ever. Todays cancer researchers know this yet cant solve the problem. To my amazement, this cancer/oxygen connection information was published numerous times in current cancer journals. For example, in 1993, it was stated that [T]hat tumor oxygenation as determined with this standardized procedure appears to be a new independent prognostic factor influencing survival in advanced cancer of the uterine cervix, and, The Cox proportional hazards model revealed that the median pO2 and the clinical stage according to the FIGO are independent, highly significant predictors of survival and recurrence-free survival, and in 1999, Tumor oxygenation affects the prognosis of head and neck cancer independently of other known prognostic variables.(30) Obviously, todays cancer researchers know lack of oxygen is related to cancer and its spread independently of any other cause, but they have no idea where to start to solve the cellular oxygenation problem. Even television producers understand the oxygen/cancer connection. The 2006 television series, House, M.D on Fox featured a cancerous child and specifically chose to tell of her low levels of oxygen just 94% in the blood. Normal blood oxygen levels are 98-99% oxygen. At 94% oxygen there is much less oxygen that can be transported into the cell. Once the

42

oxygen reaches the cell it needs to enter it and impeded tissue transfer is another potential problem, too. Just 1/3rd less cellular oxygen = cancer Just by decreasing a cells oxygen content by about one-third, cancer is automatically induced. Nothing more is required for cancer to develop. Surprisingly, you wont feel anything is wrong. This is why so many people develop cancer and are shocked because aside from having low energy, they didnt feel sick. Few modern researchers have fully understood Dr.Warburgs discovery, and none of them have discovered the practical solution to solving the oxygen deficiency probably because they dont know where to start. Ingesting hydrogen peroxide, calcium supplements, and fish oil supplements, massive amounts of Omega-3, ozone, or socalled oxygenated water wont solve the cellular oxygen deficiency. No one has been able to advance Dr. Warburgs discovery until now. This lack of understanding explains many of the misunderstood biochemical activities related to cancer that waste precious time and lead virtually nowhere. Only Dr. Warburgs anti-cancer discovery predicts so many never-beforeexplained real-life results. (31) We shall return to these discoveries later. First, lets proceed with cancer/lack of oxygen experiments. Since this cause isnt publicized outside of the medical journals, I want you to be aware of it: Dr. Warburgs discovery was verified numerous times both in turning normal cells cancerous and showing that cancer doesnt develop in highly oxygenated areas. Surprisingly, it was American physicians that conclusively proved it in 1953 and confirmed it in 1955! They also noted, on page 535 of their publication that once damage is too great to the cell, then no amount of oxygen will return the cells respiration back to normalit is forever doomed to a cancerous life. This is why prevention is the ultimate solution to never contracting cancer. (32)

** This is Wonderful NewsFinally There is Real Hope ** In 1953 American physicians confirmed it was possible to prevent a respiration-impacted precancerous cell from becoming permanently cancerous tissue IF oxygen deficiency was stopped early enough. & In 1955 American Physicians and scientists confirmed that intermittent cellular oxygen deficiency leads to cancer, utilizing a brilliant experiment with tetanus. Secondary cancer causes Virtually every supposed cause of cancer mentioned today in the health and nutritional press is a secondary cause. Secondary causes include things such as environment, chemical carcinogens, environmental and medical radiation, transfats, and food additives, the chemicals in cigarette smoke, viruses, and even genetic mutations. There are innumerable secondary causes of cancer, and minimizing them and their harmful effects can be helpful in preventing cancer. But endlessly pursuing new secondary causes, like smoking, without explaining specifically what common effect they have on the cells has never, and will never, lead researchers to a real cancer cure. Dr. Warburg cautioned us again and again about wasting precious time pursuing secondary causes. Make no mistake about this, the thing every secondary cause of cancer has in common with every other one is that it leads, directly or indirectly, to insufficient oxygen in the cells. Therefore, if we directly address the question of how to get sufficient oxygen to the cells, we will have minimized the danger from every type of secondary cause.

Great news! We can keep the tumor benign, not cancerous While researching the cancer-oxygen connection, I was bothered by the fact that I could never get a clear definition from pathologists about what differentiates a cancerous tumor from a noncancerous (benign) tumor. The cells of both tumors demonstrate essentially the same mindlessnesslost structure. Years ago, I had hypothesized that a benign tumor stays above the critical threshold of oxygen deficiency needed to become cancerousa relationship parallel to that of a normal cell remaining normal by staying in a highly oxygenated environment. Its all a matter of degree of respiration impairment. I was right: Dr. Warburg had already verified and published this fact in 1925 in, The Journal of Cancer Research; I simply had not seen it yet. Heres the important point: (33) [There has again arisen the tumor typebenign or malignant, depending upon the duration of the oxygen deficit. What an opportunity to remain cancer-free! Dr. Warburgs genius was unprecedented in making these seminal discoveries regarding the metabolism of cancer. The differences between malignant and benign tumors are differences in degree [of compromised respiration DURATION of lack of oxygen] rather than kind. How do we guarantee maximum cellular oxygenation? This is the million dollar question and today we have the answer. I know what many of you are likely thinking, I exercise a lot; therefore, I am oxygenating my blood. Ive got cancer beat! No. All that exercise didnt stop world-champion cyclist Lance Armstrong from contracting cancer. It is true that by exercising you are increasing oxygenation to your blood. However, by doing so you still havent guaranteed that this oxygen will be transferred effectively to each cell in each organ in your body. Dr. Warburg made it quite clear that oxygen alone is NOT sufficient: (34)

45

To be sure, cancer development takes place even in the presence of free oxygen gas in the atmosphere, but this oxygen may not penetrate in sufficient quantity into the growing body cells, or the respiratory apo-enzymes of the growing body cells may not be saturated with the active groups. There are many factors that promote the lack of cellular oxygen, including certain deficiencies we will talk about shortly. Exercise, by itself, is therefore not the solution to remaining cancer-free. This is apparent when we observe that many people, who exercise regularly, including athletes, still get cancer. Furthermore, a person breathes at least 17,000 times a day (12 breaths a minute). Do you really think that you arent breathing in enough oxygen with 17,000 breaths a day? You are. The problem lies elsewhere. Special fats called EFAs that food processing destroys Our bodies require special fats that make it possible, among other important functions, for sufficient oxygen to reach the cells. These special fats are highly oxygen-absorbing. Technically called essential fatty acids, or EFAs, these special fats must be supplied from outside the body every day, from foods and certain oils, because your body cant manufacture them on its own. There are 2 parent forms of EFAs that allow your body to make whatever it needs from them called EFA derivatives. Parent Omega-6 is termed linolenic acid (LA) and parent Omega-3 (ALA) is termed alpha-linolenic acid. Next is a table of EFA-containing oils, shown with their percentages arisen the tumor type benign

EFA Ratios in Your Body: Surprise! Parent Omega-6Not Omega-3is the Critical Component. We must look at the tissue content of our bodies to determine what oils contain the best anticancer EFAs. It is known from pathology studies that the brain and nervous system have a ratio of one part Omega-6 to one part Omega-3 (1:1). Some nutritionists suggest that this ratio is best, but they are wrong. Heres why: Most organs contain a 4:1 Omega-6 to 3 ratio. However, the brain, nervous system, and organs comprise only about 12% of body-weight. Skin is 100% parent Omega-6; it contains no Omega-3, 35 and comprises about 4% of bodyweight. The muscles comprise at least 50% of total bodyweight and are the prime factor to account for in determining the required parent Omega-6:3 ratio. A key fact about muscle structure is that muscle contains from 5.5 to 7.5 times more Omega-6 than Omega-3, depending on the degree of physical condition.36 We are warned of the overdosing of Omega-6 in our diets and told that we must take lots of Omega-3 containing oils to compensate. We are told that we are ingesting upwards of 20 times too much Omega-6. This is wrong and there is much more to the analysis. Scientifically, you need an organic

48

supplement with an Omega-6/3 ratio of 1:1 to 2.5:1. With this powerfully effective ratio you only require a minimum amount of 3-4 grams on a daily basis. This ratio is significantly different than your physician, health practitioner, or popular nutritional publications will likely suggest they simply dont know and understand the basis of it. Their wrong analysis consists of a significant number of errors and I hope that you will review The Scientific Calculation of the Optimal Omega-6/3 Ratio at www.BrianPeskin.com (EFA Report: The Scientific Calculation) so you will understand why so many professionals are making these errors. Today, people automatically think of fish oil (all Omega-3 derivatives) or flax oil (highly unbalanced in Omega-3 content) as the anticancer solution. Following these incorrect recommendations is a significant factor why Americas cancer rates continue to skyrocket in spite of millions of people taking these oils. Fish oil is 100% Omega derivatives and can actually be cancer-causing the opposite of what we desire. Flax oil contains far too much parent Omega-3. Most parent Omegas do not get converted to derivatives they remain in the cell membrane and tissues in original parent form. Few scientists and medical texts understand this.37 Furthermore; commercial food processing destroys a significant amount of these EFAs along with their oxygenating ability. Heres a representative listing of categories of foods containing these essential oils. It is imperative to understand that these foods MUST be grown and processed organically, with low heat, and no artificial preservatives. Otherwise, the EFAs will be ruined like the transfats /hydrogenated, cancer-causing oils youve heard about. Compare your diet and these EFA-containing foods. Are you getting enough of them? Meats (organically raised and processed): Chicken, beef (grassfed is best), (38) lamb, pork, etc. Animal-based protein is important also for obtaining anticancer vitamins, minerals and strong hemoglobin (enables oxygen transportation). Seeds: Sunflower, sesame, flax, pumpkin, etc.

49

Seafood: Shrimp, fish, lobster, crabs, clams, oysters, etc. Fruit/vegetables: NONE. Animals with multiple stomachs can extract the EFAs out of plant-based cellulose like grass, but humans, with only one stomach, cannot. Even if we could extract the EFAs, humans could never eat the volumes requiredcows eat constantly much of the day and so do billygoats. Grains/cereal: NONE. Humans cannot extract the EFAs from them. Dairy/eggs/cheese: Raw milk cheeses and organic eggs are excellent sources. Pasteurized (heated) milk will be deficient in EFAs and is detrimental to infants. Nuts: Organic, unprocessed, raw almonds, walnuts, peanuts, cashews, etc. It is important to understand that consuming lots of seafood is not the anticancer answerseafood, especially farmed fish, is overly abundant in both parent and derivative Omega-3 EFAs. Can I be a vegetarian and still obtain maximum anticancer protection? According to Robert Rowen, M.D. the answer is yes. But this is true only if you are eating a high quality vegetarian diet. Many do not. They think simply avoiding animal products means they will be healthier. Nothing could be further from the truth. If you are a vegetarian, youll have to be sure you are consuming a sufficient amount of high quality protein and natural fats (listed in the chart and tables above). Many vegetarians dont consume sufficient protein or natural fats, and therefore an insufficient amount of EFAs. Dr. Rowen strongly believes that eating a largely Living Foods Diet, as he calls it, is the way to gain maximum protection. Eating uncooked foods preserves the nutrients. It also avoids damaging the EFAsan important consideration. Robert Rowen, M.D., is editor-in-chief of Second Opinion Newsletter. Dr. Rowen is internationally known for his work in the field of complementary/alternative/integrative medicine (39).

50

My recommendation for expert advice in this area is to consider his work. The Miracle of EFA Oxygen Magnets Think of these polyunsaturated EFAs as oxygen magnets. The proof of this fact is buried in the worlds leading medical textbooks and medical journals such as Harpers Illustrated Biochemistry, 26th edition (40) and Human Nutrition Clinical Nutrition,(41) July 1984. EFAs are integral to the structure and function of cellular respiration. Without high respiration efficiency, cancer is soon to follow. These EFA oxygen magnets in the cell membrane attract the oxygen thats in your bloodstream and transfer it into the cell just like little oxygen sponges. This process is supposed to be happening in each of your 100 trillion cells. So, no matter how much you breathe or exercise, if you dont have the proper functional EFAs at the cellular level, your cells will not absorb enough oxygen from your bloodstream and you will be that much more susceptible to cancer. Without a continuing new supply of these EFAs from food, cellular oxygen transfer is significantly reduced. Imagine what would happen if you had 100 trillion cells that were all deficient in a vital substance they required to be able to absorb oxygen. Heres an example showing how these essential fats absorb oxygen. At the supermarket, fish goes bad in only a few days because the oil in the fish is highly oxygen-absorbingit reacts rapidly with the oxygen in the air. Fish spoils rapidly because the EFA-containing oil has the capacity to absorb lots of oxygen. This chemical process is called oxidation. This is also true with other types of essential fats. They do their job of absorbing oxygen, but because of it they have a limited life. They simply wont work after a short period. EFAs become spent (rancid). Thats why they need to be replaced every day from our foodNature designed us this way. There are many ways to add additional oxygen to the bloodstream, such as exercising, drinking oxygenated water, or breathing purer air. However, these partial solutions are

51

insufficient for maximum anticancer protection. When the EFA deficiency is solved, every organ becomes its own oxygen magnet, like Nature intended. Breast cancer explained Breast cancer is the #1 cancer plague to women worldwide. The growing incidence of breast cancer can, for the first time, be explained in light of Dr. Warburgs discovery about lack of oxygen to the cells. The breasts consist of an exceptionally high amount of fatty tissue. A typical cell membrane in muscle tissue is half fat and contains about one-third EFAs (oxygen transferors). Fatty tissue like the breast contains areas of 80-95% fat concentration. These fatty components of breast tissue require and should have high EFA concentrations, but because of modern food processing, they dont. Because important organs such as the brain, heart, lungs, and kidneys require EFAs on a priority basis, there may not be enough left over to ensure that breast tissue receives an adequate amount of EFAs. Therefore, oxygen deficiency in the breast tissue will be very significant. Given this premise, we can deduce that breast tissue should and would be the number one expected cancer site in women worldwideand it is. This conclusion makes so much sense in explaining the massive rise in breast cancer. Harvards Dr. Willett gives us the proof: In a large study concerning the intake of parent Omega-6 by over 80,000 nurses it was shown that the group with the lowest intake of Linoleic acid (parent Omega-6) exhibited the highest incidence of breast cancer (42). Did your ob-gyn tell you that you need this miraculous anticancer nutrient? I doubt it because he probably doesnt know it. Warning: Fish oil and overdosing on Omega-3 can kill you Surprisingly, it was known back in 1979 that diet influenced EFA composition of the cell membrane and this finding was published

52

in Cancer Research (43). In 1990, a masterpiece of research conducted by William E. Lands found that the amount of critical parent Omega-6 in the tissues was dependant on diet (44). To gain the best in scientific research, I traveled thousands of miles in 2002 to attend the worlds 1st Essential Fatty Acids and Human Nutrition & Health International Conference in Shanghai, China. There, I discovered a shocking and unexpected discovery that fish oil lowers immunity. I nearly fell out of my chair. Overdosing on fish oil supplements can significantly decrease the effectiveness of your immune system, increasing your risk of contracting cancer. The International Society for the Study of Fatty Acids and Lipids (ISSFAL) 4th Congress, which met on June 4-9, 2000 in Tsukuba, Japan, reported this startling fact (45). Dont think fish oil prevents heart disease. It doesnt. Cardiovascular Research reported that both fish oil groups and the control groups showed close to equal atherosclerotic progression (getting more clogged in spite of taking fish oil supplements) (46). Nor did fish oil stop thickening of the artery. On the contrary, the artery wall got thicker (worsened) with fish oil ingestion! A mere 1.65 grams per day of fish oil supplement was taken. This is a great enough dose to cause adverse immunity as described above and cause excessive internal bleeding, too. These results were published in 2002 showing the failure of fish oil. Did this stop guessing by experts in the nutritional and medical fields and even our government from declaring how great fish oil supplements were? No. Harvard Medical School was involved in the next study, titled Controlled Trial of Fish Oil for Regression of Human Coronary Atherosclerosis. (47). The daily dose was 6 grams of fish oil vs. 6 grams of olive oil in the control group. Their conclusion? Fish oil treatment for 2 years DOES NOT promote major FAVORABLE CHANGES in the diameter of atherosclerotic coronary arteries. That means arterial clogging was not decreased with the fish oil supplement. Eat all the fish you care to, but stay away from fish oil supplements; they can only harm you.

53

Fish oil drug is harmful and their brochure states it A drug called Omacor consists of approximately 90% active fish oil. It is used to treat high levels of triglycerides. However, according to the manufacturers 2005 medical brochure, it appears that the lowered immunity warning reported above from fish oil and overdosing on Omega-3 was confirmed:48 Under Adverse Reactions, in their brochure there were double the number of people who developed infections (proving a reduced immunity) while taking the drug compared with those not taking the drug. Users suffered more flu syndrome, indicating a lowered immune system. Four (4) times more people suffered skin rash while taking the drug. Note: You should understand why the skin rash result is expected. Recall, that there is neither parent Omega-3 nor Omega3 derivatives in the skin. This pharmacological overload of Omega-3 derivatives proves harmful. Never forget with too much Omega-3 consumption, parents or derivatives, the excess is unnaturally forced into the tissue membranes causing damage to your immune system and decreased oxygen transfer to the cells. You have been unknowingly placed on the path to cancer by those you trust. The anticancer answer = the heart disease answer, too! Dr. Warburg understood that slow blood speed allowed cancer to metastasize. Later, other researchers showed that if you can keep a localized cancer from metastasizing, your risk of dying from cancer decreases by an amazing 10-fold! Even though you may have cancer, you wont die from cancer. Blood speed and viscosity have a connection to the spread of cancer. This is a surprising, seldom-mentioned fact that was pointed out by world-renowned molecular biologist Robert Weinberg, from my alma mater, Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Professor Weinberg was a former director of the Oncology Research Laboratory at the Whitehead Institute in Cambridge, Massachusetts and stated in his

54

book: (49) Of those patients who succumb to cancer, fewer than 10% die from tumors that continue to grow at the same site where they originally took root. In the great majority of cases, the killers are the metastasescolonies of cancer cells that have left the site of the original, primary tumor and have settled elsewhere in the body. It is these migrants, or rather the new tumors that they seed, that usually cause death. What causes metastasis? Blood clots. This is known, too: (50) Dr. L. Michaels of Canada reasoned that if no clots were allowed to form, then metastasis from a primary tumor could not occur, and that people with only primary cancers would in that case be in a much safer situation. This he proved to be the case. He studied the medical histories of a large number of heart and stroke patients kept on permanent anti-coagulant drug treatment [anti-clotting] to protect their blood circulation, to ascertain the incidence of cancer deaths among them, and found the incidence to be only one-eighth of the expected number. The study covered the equivalent of 1569 patient-years and there was not a single case of death by cancer metastasis in the group. What prevents blood from sticking together and is also Natures natural blood-thinner that prevents blood clots? No, its not Omega-3 like you are constantly told. Parent Omega-6 is much more powerful. AA (arachadonic acid) is a critical Omega-6 derivative and major biochemical component which occurs in virtually every cell we have. It is the building block of the most potent anti-aggretory (helps blood thinning) agent known, termed prostacyclin. AA also inhibits platelet adhesion making it a natural blood thinner. AA even helps SOLVE vascular problems as a response to injury. (51) The real-life proof that Omega-3 isnt the answer for preventing heart disease is that in spite of consuming lots of fish, the Japanese have higher heart disease and cancer contraction rates than Americans! (52) We arent told and get misled. Dont think that a daily aspirin is the answer, it isnt. (53) In 2003, Dr. Robert Bonow, head of the American Heart Association stated: (54) Mass treatments could mean under medicating some while exposing others to unnecessary risks of

55

side effects. Aspirin, he noted, can cause bleeding complications, and, If you give aspirin to everyone, you dont save any lives at all, the lives you save by preventing heart attacks and strokes are offset by the lives you lose from bleeding. Aspirin is not the answer; more unadulterated parent Omega-6 is the answer and the cardiovascular medical textbooks know it. (55) Heart attack victims often have depleted EFA levels, especially the EFA derivatives AA from parent Omega-6 and EPA from parent Omega-3, too. (56) We need some parent Omega-3 because EPA is one of its important derivatives. The problem is that fish oil supplements overdose us with far too much.

Cholesterol and cancer: The parent Omega-6 connection explained: Its not the saturated fat. Its the adulterated parent Omega-6 that clogs arteries and impedes blood flow. Contrary to what we have heard for decades, it is not the saturated fat clogging your arteries. A groundbreaking 1994 Lancet article reported investigating the components of arterial plaques; they measured the individual components. In an aortic artery clog, they found that there are over ten different compounds in arterial plaque, but NO saturated fat. (57) There was some cholesterol in the clog. This is explained by the fact that cholesterol acts as a protective healer for arterial cuts and bruises just like a scab forms over external cuts. What is the predominant component of a clog? You probably guessed itthe adulterated Omega-6 polyunsaturated oilsthose that start out containing properly functioning EFAs but get ruined during commercial food processing. Many similar analyses showing the same result have been carried out regarding arterial clogs and published in the medical journals, but few physicians have seen them. (58) The average person has little, if any, chance of ever discovering the truth. Contrary to what we have heard for decades it is not the cholesterol itself that is clogging your arteries. But

56

with a deficiency of EFAs, cholesterol acts as a poison delivery system. EFAs are cholesterols major component. A cat, a true carnivore, consumes a diet of 100% meat; consequently, cats consume lots of cholesterol, saturated fat, and red meat. By popular wisdom cats should be suffering massive heart attacks on a regular basis, but they dont. Contrary to popular belief, humans are much closer to a wolf with a 4-pint stomach that can eat once every few days than to a cow with multiple stomachs or a sheep with an 8-gallon stomach (humans have a 4-pint stomach) that has to eat constantly. As the medical textbook, Molecular Biology of the Cell on page 481 makes clear, cholesterol is necessary for the structural integrity of the lipid bi-layer (the structure in each of our 100 trillion cell membranes). This is precisely why in 1994 the Journal of the American Medical Association, No. 272, pgs 1335-1340, published an article stating that cholesterol-lowering drugs do not work significantly to prevent heart disease. The reason? They cant lower the amount of its defective parent Omega-6 enough. In 1993, a report titled Cholesterol Screening and Treatment was released by the University of Leeds in England. Drugs for lowering high cholesterol levels were given to a studys participants. The patients whose cholesterol was artificially lowered with drugs developed heart disease just as frequently as the drug-free cholesterol group. As Current Atherosclerosis Reports stated in 2004, here is the precise reason why cholesterol drugs cant do the job: (59) LDL contains up to 80% lipid [fats and oils], including polyunsaturated fatty acids and cholesterol, mainly esters. Linoleic acid (LA), one of the most abundant fatty acids in LDL With this information, we see that it is what the cholesterol is transporting, the adulterated EFAs that is the problem. An article in Human Nutrition: Clinical Nutrition further verifies that it is parent Omega-6 that makes up most of the fatty acids in LDL and HDL cholesterol (60). Dont let anyone ever tell you that natural fats are bad. One hundred trillion cells need lots of EFA-containing natural fats; in particular, lots of parent Omega-6. If just a little of this parent Omega-6 is

57

defective, reducing its ability to absorb oxygen and perform other cellular functions, it acts as a direct cause of both cancer and heart disease, too. Hence the reason for the ineffectiveness of cholesterol-lowering drugs abovethey simply cant eliminate enough of the defective EFAs being transported in the cholesterol. This is how the 2005 medical journal article titled LDL Cholesterol: Bad cholesterol or Bad Science, explains the defective parent Omega-6 (61). The article states: No tightly controlled clinical trial has ever conclusively demonstrated that LDL cholesterol reductions can prevent cardiovascular disease or increase longevity. You now understand why the absolute LDL number is not very important if the diet contains sufficient unadulterated EFAs; in particular, an abundance of parent Omega6. Interestingly, the body has no natural cholesterol sensor in the bloodstreambut it would if its levels had to be maintained within exact limits like sodium, calcium, and blood glucose levels (62).

Danger: Dont Stop the Omegas

LDL cholesterol transports EFAs into your cells. Any drug that artificially lowers cholesterol ALSO lowers transport of cancer fighting EFAs and can increase your risk of contracting cancer! Fix the problem of too many bad fats and oils instead of blaming the messenger LDL. It has been known and published in the worlds leading medical textbooks that polyunsaturated fats (EFAs) naturally support healthy cholesterol levels (63). Has your physician told you? It has been known and published in the worlds leading medical journals that polyunsaturated fats (EFAs) are more effective than a high-carbohydrate, low-fat, and life-style. Americas top medical journal published: Diets high in polyunsaturated fat (EFAs) have been more effective than low-fat, high-carbohydrate diets in lowering cholesterol as well as the incidence of heart disease. (64) The title says it all. It was known in 1941 (65) that EFA deficiency caused a defective cholesterol

58

structure and in 1956 (66) that carbohydrates are a culprit too but the popular press never mentions these facts: Cholesterol is normally esterfied with unsaturated fatty acid [EFAs] and when as in our experiments these are extremely deficient in the body it is esterfied with much more saturated fatty acids synthesized in the body from carbohydrate. We now see the danger of a high carbohydrate diet to cancer contraction. Have you been told these startling facts by your cardiologist? Probably not. Parent Omega-6 deficiency causes decreased oxygen above the cancer-causing threshold If there is insufficient unprocessed parent Omega-6, experiment shows that the cholesterol structure will incorporate oleic acid (nonessential Omega-9) instead (67) Physical-chemical experiments show that Linoleic acid (parent Omega-6) can bind twice as much oxygen and disassociates at a much higher pressure, much closer to hemoglobin, than oleic acid does (68) Oxygen disassociation curves for oleic acid compared with Linoleic acid, Omega-6, show a 50% reduction in oxygen transfer, given EFA deficiency (69) With insufficient functional parent Omega-6, you will easily surpass the 35% cancer-causing threshold! Do Cholesterol-Lowering Drugs Cause Cancer? A dire warning was published in a 1995 study by two physicians, Thomas B. Newman and Stephen B. Hulley, at the University of California in San Francisco. They said widespread cholesterol testing for people under twenty years old should be abandoned. They were concerned that popular cholesterol-lowering drugs were being prescribed far too frequentlyand often unnecessarilyfor people who were at little risk of developing heart-related problems because they were cancer-causing. Drugs to lower cholesterol may cause cancer ... (70)

59

The early drugs, known as fibrates, (clofibrate, gemfibrozil) and the newer drugs, known as statins (Lipitor, Pravachol, Zocor), cause cancer in rodents at doses equivalent for mice to the doses used by man. Heres what physicians Newman and Hulley revealed: DATA SYNTHESIS - All members of the two most popular classes of lipid-lowering drugs (the fibrates and the statins) cause cancer in rodents, in some cases at levels of animal exposure close to those prescribed in humans. Do we care about animal studies? Yes. Rodents need and metabolize EFAs in the same manner that humans do.71 No one should require these cancercausing, cholesterol lowing drugs once their EFA deficiency is solved. Defective estrogen and testosterone come from a defective cholesterol structure Defective EFAs cause more trouble. If your cholesterol structure is incorrect because of EFA deficiency then your sexual hormones will malfunction also because the sexual hormones are made by the body from cholesterol.72 Is a defective cholesterol structure the root cause of your PMS, lack of sexual desire, or cellulite that you cant exercise, massage, or diet away? What other benefits from the correct parent Omega-6/3 ratio can I expect? Nature is wonderful. She requires just a few essentials for maximum health. With the EFA deficiency solved along with cancer and heart disease protection you also achieve: Significantly decreased appetite plus decreased cravings for sweets, softer, smoother skin, less cellulite, stronger finger nails, thicker, fuller hair, less dandruff, lessened neuropathy if you are diabetic, better blood sugar control, less arthritis, less joint pain, faster healing, fewer headaches, better pregnancies, less PMS, increased mental clarity, better focus, helps improve ADD and ADHD, more energy, greater intensity, faster recuperation (73) EFAs in the ratios

60

recommended give your body maximum anti-inflammatory protection, too. As proof, you may notice the following antiinflammation benefits: Cuts and bruises heal quicker. Quicker healing of all surgeries. Less bleeding from dental exams/brushing. Less pain of arthritis. Lowering of diastolic blood pressure (the bottom number). Lowering of systolic blood pressure (the top number). Increased blood flow to vital organs. Skin becomes smoother and more elastic. Skin inflammation symptoms may decreaserashes, skin tag warts, etc. Vision can improve regardless of age, Alzheimers symptoms can decrease, Nerve function improves, including neuropathy and retinopathy, Allergy symptoms may decrease, Fewer headaches, including fewer migraines, and Faster reaction time in athletes. The simple, 5-step program to minimize your risk of contracting cancer Step 1 To maintain maximum oxygen transfer to the cell, take sufficient parent Omega-6 (Linoleic acid-LA), parent Omega-3 (alpha Linolenic acid-LA) and essential polyunsaturated oils (EFAs) daily. Take a daily minimum of 3 grams of a blend of parent Omega-6 and 3 in the proportions given below about 1 teaspoon of blended oil each day. This translates to approximately 3/4 gram oil per every 35 pounds of bodyweight. Proper Proportion to Take: Based on my research, (Reference: The Scientific Calculation of the Optimal Omega-6/3 Ratio at

61

www. BrianPeskin.com (EFA Report: The Scientific Calculation)) for very strong anticancer protection, the EFA oils should be blended in a proportion between 1:1 to 2.5 parent Omega-6 to parent Omega-3. In other words, use anywhere from one part Omega-6 to one part Omega-3, to two and one-half parts Omega-6 to one part Omega-3. (For example, dont use ten parts Omega-6 to one part Omega-3). The oils MUST be organic or wild-crafted, processed with little heat, and not contain fish oil. With reference to our suggested proportions of parent Omega-6 to 3, note that health practitioners often suggest you use no additional parent Omega-6 and that instead you use supplements exclusively with parent Omega-3. This is incorrect because the Omega-6 we do consume in our foods is highly processed, harmful and often loaded with cancer-causing transfats. You need the additional pure parent Omega-6 to compensate for this (74). Because the parent EFAs are so much more effective than EFA derivatives, you need a much lower total quantity than other formulations. Step 2 Get enough copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, selenium, and zinc, in a truly chelated bioavailable form. These are the minerals that Dr. Warburg would use because they influence and maximize the respiratory (co)enzymes for maximum oxygen transfer to occur. They help EFAs do their job. Make sure they are in bioavailable form (truly chelated meaning chemically bonded to an amino acid) or they wont be maximally effective. The essential anticancer minerals and their minimum amounts are: Minerals Copper Iron Magnesium Amount 1 mg 10 mg 100 mg % age Of RDA 50% 56% 25%

Given the widespread nutrient deficient soil caused by overfarming the land, even eating as well as possible, it is difficult to guarantee obtaining enough of the cancer-fighting minerals without supplementation. Step 3 Make certain you eat sufficient animal-based protein from organic or natural, free-range sources free of antibiotics, pesticides, and hormones each day. Organic eggs and cheese (cottage cheese, sour cream, etc. included) are great sources of protein. Raw milk and cream are excellent sources, too. Avoid all low-fat varieties. Eat a minimum of 8 oz. a day for a 150 lb. person. My research with clients around the world makes clear that animal-based protein should be your number one anticancer food choice after the EFAcontaining oils. Once the EFA deficiency is solved, your appetite will work correctly and will guide you as to the correct amount of protein to eat without your having to count calories or amounts. On a physiological basis you cant eat too much protein, contrary to popular belief. The majority of the protein that you eat (60-70%) is used to fuel its own digestion (75).Only 30% or so is bio-available to your body. Anyone suggesting that a few ounces of protein per day are sufficient is incorrect, for maximum anticancer protection. Eating sufficient protein will help the hemoglobin in your blood carry enough iron, which directly leads to maximum oxygen in the blood and the ideal oxygen pressure in the tissues. Furthermore, eating protein automatically helps provide the vitamins that assist absorption of the minerals. Growing children need lots of protein along with its natural fat to fuel their high degree of biochemical reactions during growth. Let them eat as much as they desire. If

63

you wish, you may use these general guidelines for adult minimum daily amounts of protein:

Weight 100-120 lbs. 130-140 lbs. 150-160 lbs. 170-180 lbs 190-200 lbs. 110-220 lbs.

Minimum Amount of Protein 6 oz. 7 oz. 8 oz. 9 oz. 10 oz. 11 oz.

Note: Red meat is not required for maximum anticancer protection. You can be a vegetarian and still have excellent anticancer resistance with this program. For guidance in following a vegetarian diet, my recommendation for expert advice is Robert Rowen, M.D. (referenced above). Step 4 Make sure you minimize the number of carbohydrates you eat daily. Carbohydrates decrease blood speed and increase clotting both cancer-causing conditions. Cut back on sugars, sweet desserts, breads, pastas, cereals, fruit juices, grains, and starchy vegetables such as potatoes, corn, and beans. An adult weighing 160 lbs. should consume at most 60 grams (A gram is a small unit of weight; 454 grams = 1 lb.) of carbohydrates per day (approximately 240 calories of carbohydrates, or 12 teaspoons of sugar or starch). Note: Every teaspoon of sugar equals approximately 20 calories of carbohydrates.

64

Step 5 Make sure you take an herbal detoxifier every day to help minimize the effect of any carcinogens and harmful additives in your food. I recommend the original Canadian Ojibwa Indian formulation made popular by Nurse Rene Caisse over 50 years ago, containing Sheep Sorrel, Burdock Root, Slippery Elm Bark, and Turkish Rhubarb Root. I suggest the addition of a South American herb called Cats Claw, but no additional herbs. Special information for those with cancer and those who are in remission. Following my 5-step Program of scientifically-based nutritional guidelines will make the cells far healthier and more resistant to cancer. But if you are already ill, a coordinated approach of the medical treatments recommended by your doctors along with this program will serve you best. Speed is often important in addressing cancer medically. Consult with your doctor for assistance in implementing these guidelines in conjunction with your medical treatment. If you had cancer and are in remission, all of Steps 1-5 can and should be applied in consultation with your physician or clinical nutritionist. Doing so can markedly increase your chances of preventing a recurrence. Of course, it is particularly important that you would want to both take supplements and eat protein from organic sources. Note: It is important to understand that cancer cells use carbohydrate as their primary source of fuel (76) For cancer, insulin [a response from carbohydrate consumption] is like pouring gasoline on a fire, says Pamela Goodwin, director of the Marvelle Koffler Breast Center at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto. Therefore, reducing consumption of sugar/carbohydrates significantly will deprive existing cancer cells of their food and help strengthen your bodys immune system.

In science, any new theory must allow for more out of it than you put into it. The theory must have predictive value. If I input one thing, the theory must lead to the explanation of many things, and the cancer explanation based on Dr. Warburgs research uniquely meets this criteria. 32. For example, in 1947, Dr. F. Windesch of Germany demonstrated that by intermittent withholding of oxygen, normal body cells could be changed into cancer cells. Dr. H.A. Schweigart, another German, also found that cancerous tissue is always deficient in oxygen. However, the first notable long-term experimental induction of cancer by oxygen deficiency was described in 1953 by an American physician, Dr. Goldblatt (Journal of

68

Experimental Medicine, Vol. 97, 1953, pages 525-552). Dr. Warburg references this important finding in his On the Origin of Cancer Cells publication: [Goldblatt, an M.D. and Cameron] exposed heart fibroblasts in tissue culture to intermittent oxygen deficiency for long periods and finally obtained transplantable cancer cells. In the control cultures that they maintained without any oxygen deficiency, no cancer cells resulted. This experiment was conducted over a 2-year timeframe. The results were meticulously tabulated, and the conclusions rock solid. Dr. Warburgs work was extensively referenced in their paper (Warburgs findings were very well-known at that time). Goldblatt and Cameron also verified Dr. Warburgs finding (published in 1925) that a respirationimpacted, destined-to-become cancerous cell could be STOPPED if it was oxygenated early enough. On page 527 of Goldblatt and Camerons journal paper, they reported: The length and frequency of exposure of the different [normal] cultures to nitrogen [cutting off oxygen] were varied greatly at first, in order to determine the periods that would prove definitely injurious in greater or less degree, but from which most of the cultures RECOVERED readily after the return to aerobic [oxygenated] conditions were 15 minutes of nitrogen twice in 24 hours, for 3 successive days with an interval of 11 hours between successive exposures. It was found that even after exposure to nitrogen for hour, 3 times in every 24 hours, for 7 consecutive days, with an interval of 7 hours between successive exposures, recovery could still occur, although the injury was great; but recovery was slower and less certain after such long periods of anaerobiosis [oxygen deprivation]; and some of the cultures did NOT recover. They also noted, on page 535 of their publication that once damage is too great to the cell, then no amount of oxygen will return the cells respiration back to normalit is forever doomed to a cancerous life. This is why prevention is the ultimate solution to never contracting cancer. In 1955, two American scientists and physicians, R.A. Malmgren and C.C. Flanigan, again confirmed these findings, publishing them in the medical journal, Cancer Research. (Localization of the vegetative form of clostridium-tetani in mouse tumors following intravenous spore administration, Vol. 15(7), 1955, pages 473-478). An especially clever and convincing experiment added to the long list of experiments clearly demonstrating that oxygen deficiency is always present when cancer develops. These physicians referenced Dr. Warburgs work on page 478 of their publication. This is how Dr. Warburg explained their accomplishments in his 1966 Prime Cause and Prevention of Cancer lecture: However, if one injects tetanus spores into the blood of tumor-bearing mice, the mice sicken with tetanus, because

69

the oxygen pressure in the tumors can be so low that the spores can germinate. These experiments demonstrate in a unique way the anaerobiosis [low oxygen] of cancer cells and the non-anaerobiosis [normal oxygen] of normal cells, in particular the non-anaerobiosis of growing embryos. Note: Rats and mice have much shorter lives than humans, so results, both good and bad, occur much faster, making them very useful in medical experiments. 33. The Metabolism of Carcinoma Cells, The Journal of Cancer Research, Vol. 9, 1925, pages 148-163; in particular pages 152, 154, 159, and 163. Dr. Warburgs paper makes it quite clear: Thus the quantitative difference between malignant and benign tumors becomes a qualitative one, when we pass from benign tumors to normal growth. The respiration of normally growing tissues suffices to bring about the disappearance of the glycolysis-products, whereas in tumors the respiration is too small [low] for this. This, then, is the difference between ordered [intelligent] and disordered growth. , From the embryonal type of metabolism there has again arisen the tumor type benign or malignant, depending on the duration of the oxygen deficit., In this manner [adding higher degrees of cyanide to curtail respiration] we obtain from the embryonic type of metabolism the tumor typethe benign tumor type when the concentration of cyanide is low [less impacted respiration]; the malignant type, when it is high [highly impacted cellular respiration]. [There has again or malignant, depending upon the duration of the oxygen deficit. 34.

With all the hoopla about olive oil, I want you to know that it is not listed above because olive oil is mainly Omega-9, a non-essential oil that your body makes itself. Extra virgin olive oil is traditionally unprocessed and therefore not cancer-causing; however, it wont protect you against contracting cancer in the least. Avoid margarine. It wont go bad even when left out. This is the proof of hydrogenated oils failure to oxygenate. If it still could oxygenate when eaten it would turn rancid when left unrefrigerated just like fish does. 35.
