Reddit mentions of Tripping over the Truth: How the Metabolic Theory of Cancer Is Overturning One of Medicine's Most Entrenched Paradigms

Good morning,

Its Friday and today is especially good for TWO reasons.

1. Yesterday my boss walked by and said "Hey why dont you plan on leaving at 12 tomorrow if you are caught up" and I totally will be doing that. AND getting chipotle on the way home. 3 and a half day weekend is so very close to me.
   
   
2. I got into another farmers market for this Sunday! This one is more local and more structured, I had to apply and I will be going as a guest vendor. They don't normally allow people such late notice, but they really liked my stuff and want me there. They are even going to setup an easy up tent that I can borrow for the day. They love my dog, so probably why I got in. I hope I do well! I have some more super cute fall prints to work on when I get home today and tomorrow.
   
   I finished my book reading August goal! It was a pretty short book, it was a reprint of the Hiroshima article but it was a powerful read. If anyone is interested, it has my highest recommendation. A disturbing read, informative, and unlike anything Ive known prior about this historic tragedy.
   
   My next book for September is all ready to go. I am reading Tripping over the Truth which explores cancer as a metablic theory. I like sciency things and learning and I find the information around this theory highly fascinating :)
   
   Helping one of my friends get started on keto, with the approach of giving her resources and answering specific questions only. Been burnt too many times otherwise :P
   
   My morning goal is to post the haus-keeping before I leave work, so keep an eye out for that!
   
   Happy Friday all <3

Best to you and your brother-- I have 2 people close to me with cancer, and have been doing research as well. This material may of interest, although I'm not sure it would relate to that exact type of cancer, I found this to be very interesting even just for background info on cancer in general and possible new prevention/treatment ideas:

That's a great book. The government is killing us, and they don't give a fuck.

Another recommendation is "Tripping over the Truth" by Travis Christofferson. It's about the entire cancer industry and how the government, researchers, etc. are all participating in groupthink (among other things) and are completely wrong about the causes of cancer, and there's an alternative theory (the metabolic theory) that has been ignored for decades but is proving to be correct, and free. Because it's free, no industry who profits from health care is remotely interested in studying it or promoting it. It ties in nicely with Denise Minger's book, in that the "smart" people in charge are fucking up our health.

If you really wanna geek out you can also find and look into the actual cancer genome project results once you have access to it.

If you don't like Atkins and if you're gonna use a variant of the "everything in moderation" argument you're not gonna like what these people have to say about how to treat cancer (but you do have the right attitude to pass medical school: you're repeating conventional wisdom talking points so you won't piss off your professors. Just don't go all Robb Wolf on us; he was about to get a medical license but then decided to go into biochemistry instead after being disillusioned with the medical industry).

​

" You say that medicine is not intellectual, and you are wrong. " What I mean is that it is not a minimum requirement to be a doctor, and most doctors are time-starved, so they're not gonna be looking too hard at the data that's being presented to them by medical researchers. Example Seriously if you think being a doctor will be like living the life of an intellectual you will be very disappointed.

​

Michael Eades mentioned in another blog post about how he just had to accept that his colleagues were used to having such low standards for what was an acceptable fasting blood glucose level in diabetic patients that their patients would end up as leg/foot amputees and blind from the mildly but constantly elevated blood glucose levels, while he himself didn't have this problem with his patients (because he actually knew what he was doing). The fact that his colleagues might learn something from him never occurred to his colleagues. This is what I mean when I say being a doctor is not an intellectual job. He takes an intellectual approach to the job but his colleagues don't; yet they are still allowed to practice medicine. In fact you are literally defending the mindset that his colleagues have in these posts, you just don't know it yet (and hopefully this will change but if it does, expect some people to hate you)

​

By the way you might as well check out this book by what might very well be the oldest living type 1 diabetic. The author was well on his way to dying from diabetes when he figured it out with the help of his physician wife who had access to a glycometer (back then patients weren't allowed to monitor their blood glucose so only a doctor could buy a glucometer). He tried to tell others about how he recovered from certain death but nobody listened so he switched careers and became a doctor. Unfortunately he's also considered a quack by the mainstream because he promotes low carb, which, like I said before, is politically incorrect.

​

Also, Terry Wahls - a medical researcher who got MS, got put in a wheelchair and managed to heal herself enough to no longer need it. Seriosuly. She's also somebody that got labelled a quack and they tried to tell her she "didn't have MS after all" because until her nobody ever reversed MS symptoms (therefore, if she did do it, it must mean she didn't really have it). But unlike Dr. Richard K. Bernstein the label of quack isn't quite sticking to her; she's becoming popular in MS circles as more ppl w/ MS try out her protocol and it worked. And lucky for us she's a medical researcher; last time I checked she's going to be doing some research on her modified paleo / low carb diet
