Chronic stress can cause/drive liver cancer (HCC) by affecting tryptophan metabolism
Little by little, we are seeing new studies call (timidly) for a “paradigm shift” (read: euphemism for…
Vitamin K deficiency or antagonism (e.g. warfarin) can cause/promote liver cancer (HCC)
It is rate that we get medicine to admit that a “primitive” vitamin deficiency can directly cause…

Wasting syndrome (cachexia) driven by low metabolism/NAD+; can be blocked/reversed
One of those articles that fully corroborates Ray’s views that metabolism is central not only to “function”,…
Magnesium has anti-cancer effects by increasing vitamin D synthesis (in the gut)
A very interesting study, which may shed some light on the known anti-cancer properties of magnesium, which…
The benefits of sunlight outweigh the risks of skin cancer
Several years ago I did a post on a study showing that, when it comes to overall…
Glutathione (GSH) drives cancer metastasis by promoting cell survival under hypoxia
In many of the podcasts I have done over the years, as well as many of my…
ROS (elevated by fat oxidation) drive immune dysfunction in cancer; vitamin E may help
Yet another study demonstrating that metabolism controls an aspect of physiology so far considered largely independent of…
Reactive oxygen species, derived mostly from fat oxidation, drive cancer growth/metastases
In several of the interviews with Dr. Mercola, we touched upon the role of reactive oxygen species…
