The Shocking Truth about Common...

Zoey Fraisers

Common diseases have become an integral part of the modern healthcare narrative, affecting millions of people globally. Despite medical advancements, misconceptions and myths about these conditions persist, leading to confusion, fear, and misinformation. Understanding the truth about common diseases is not only empowering but also essential for making informed decisions about personal and public health. 
Historically, diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer were often seen as inevitable consequences of aging or genetics. However, emerging research has revealed a far more nuanced picture. While genetic predispositions play a role, lifestyle factors, environmental influences, and even societal systems significantly contribute to the prevalence and severity of these conditions. For instance, unhealthy dietary habits, sedentary lifestyles, and chronic stress are now recognized as major contributors to many non-communicable diseases. 
One of the biggest challenges in addressing common diseases lies in separating fact from fiction. Misinformation is rampant, fueled by sensationalized media reports, outdated medical advice, and commercial interests. Claims like "sugar causes diabetes" or "fats are the enemy of heart health" oversimplify complex issues and can lead to misguided health decisions. By critically examining these narratives, we can uncover the realities that underpin these conditions and dispel harmful myths.

Dr. Thomas Seyfried, Dr. Dominic...

25% of the royalties of this book will be donated to Dr. Seyfrieds research (See KetoforCancer.net)! This research will actually make a real impact, as it studies the real causes and treatment opportunities of cancer.
This book is an overview of Dr. Thomas Seyfrieds scientific work, regarding that Cancer is a metabolic disease. It comprisesTranscripts of his talks and interviews that summarize all his most important points, as well asA Presentation by his collegue Dr. Dominic D'Agostiono about the "Press Pulse Strategy" andA possible way of eating, that would prevent cancer from the get go: The RockSolid Diet (by J.Rockermeier)
Here the description of his scientific work:
"Cancer as a metabolic disease" addresses controversies related to the origins of cancer and provides solutions to cancer management and prevention. It expands upon Otto Warburg's well-known theory that all cancer is a disease of energy metabolism. However, Warburg did not link his theory to the "hallmarks of cancer" and thus his theory was discredited.This book aims to provide evidence, through case studies, that cancer is primarily a metabolic disease requring metabolic solutions for its management and prevention.
Brain cancer case studies are presented as a proof of principle for metabolic solutions to disease management, but similarities are drawn to other types of cancer, including breast and colon, due to the same cellular mutations that they demonstrate.
This book comprises the opinion of Dr. Thomas Seyfried regarding the metabolic nature of cancer. He states, that it is not genetic, but a mitochondrial disease.
This book is NOT a summary of his original, scientific book. It's rather a collection of video transcripts, that summarize his point. With official permission, because we donate 25% of the royalties directly to his research!
