The Deadliest Cause of Cancer

It has been a full decade now since I began my ascent out of a near death experience with cancer…although I would come to find out years later it wasn’t really cancer that nearly killed me, but the fact that I also had cystic fibrosis which is a disease that affects immunity and electrolyte transport and increases the risk of getting also both cancer and diabetes (it really is a wonder I am still alive, but this is not the deadliest cause mentioned in the title…keep reading), and I was able with the help of the work of Dr. Ray Peat to recover from all the symptoms associated with having cancer and once again find good health. In the interim I then began helping others who needed it, relating to them information I had learned about cancer biology and my own personal experience struggling with it (I had thyroid and skin cancer, but also probably had leukemia as discussed in my book).

In my early work I never coached anyone with cancer directly, but many used my book to inform their medical decisions and treatment to repeat the strategies I had used for my own. One woman with stage-4 breast cancer who did chemotherapy still had cancer in her bones, and her family was preparing for her to die, but used my work and got a ‘no-evidence-of-disease’ diagnosis several months later. Another woman with breast cancer but no health insurance and thus options for treatment used my work to improve her health and stay alive and is still also alive to this day. A few years ago I thought I lost my first person to cancer after they went for chemotherapy treatment (against my recommendations) for advanced lymphoma so bad they could not even swallow when we first started working together. The doctors said they were “doing so well” (because of my work) they gave the person an ‘extra’ dose of chemotherapy which nearly killed them. Because they were busy with chemotherapy I stopped charging them for coaching and told them to keep me updated and we could resume formal coaching once they were done with treatment, but I never heard from them again after and thought they had died…until two years later when they finally contacted me again and for some reason thought to let me think they were dead for two years, even writing in my book that someone I knew had died when in truth they only almost died, and thankfully had not.

One person I met who did die never even read my book, let alone started coaching, after they were referred to me by their cousin who had used my work for quite a while. After giving them my book, briefly giving instructions (including to read the chapter on cancer, then start at the beginning and read all the way through), and telling them to keep me informed to their progress (mind you this was again also not formal coaching, but me offering my time and work without compensation), I did not hear from them for several months when, one day out of the blue they asked if I would post their go-fund-me cancer treatment fundraiser to my social media. I was confused, partly because I do not have a large social media following but also because I had given them my book and instructions and never gotten an update to their progress or efforts (I also would never post a fundraiser for someone I don’t personally know). I asked what they had learned from my book and had been using in their recovery, and the person replied that they had not even read the chapter on cancer. I implored them to read it, but they didn’t and died a few months later.

The first person to die of cancer who signed up for coaching was an older man who only showed up to one coaching session, and after spending several hours discussing cancer and my research and suggestions didn’t show up to the next meeting and then ducked out of the remaining two that were subscribed. For some time after I thought they just disapproved of my work, but then I solved the Warburg Effect a while afterward and tried to share it with them, since I wasn’t interested in anyone dying, and was told by their family member they had since died, but also the reason they hadn’t shown up to our other sessions was because they were hurt that I asked them to inform me beforehand if they couldn’t make a meeting instead of just not showing up. I have no idea what they did for treatment, but they didn’t appear to have integrated my strategies (which includes not pursuing chemotherapy if using the guides I recommend).

The one person who died even after trying to integrate my suggestions (I assume they’re dead because I haven’t heard from them for a while) had advanced gastrointestinal cancer with about a half-dozen obstructing tumors in their intestine. The person had lived on a fast-food diet most of their adult life (or longer) and had absolutely no basic dietary knowledge, so the consultation was long and exhausting, which I wrote the very night they signed up because I was sure they were afraid and definitely needed to get to work immediately or they would not survive. But instead of replying to my consultation they quietly unsubscribed from coaching. It was unfortunate, but people can make their own choices and I can’t convince anyone to do what they are unwilling—but then nearly three months later they contacted me again and signed up once more, saying they were sorry and had freaked out because of everything, and had spent the last few months in denial and avoiding any treatment whatsoever. But they had signed up again because they had gotten chemotherapy (against my advice, because I did not think they were well enough to survive it) and were now bleeding profusely every time they went to the bathroom. Although worried about their survival I tried to help, especially to stop the bleeding by getting vitamin K, which did slow the bleeding, and advised them to go to the hospital if it got worse, but stopped hearing from them after just two weeks.

Boy—that’s depressing isn’t it? Recently, however, an old friend from high school was diagnosed with stage-3 HER2 positive breast cancer (spring of 2024). Observing those who both did and didn’t survive cancer I had begun to recognize the deadliest contributor to cancer mortality, which turns out is not any one nutrient or even a pathogenic factor but good old fashioned state of denial. Getting cancer can be very scary, and what’s worse is that all your friends and family demand that you do treatment their way, so that you can defeat death to reassure their own personal fears of mortality, which also adds to the stress and is not helpful for survival. I was not about to let my friend die from denial, so I tempted her to my apartment with promises of homemade pasta and then ambushed her with a long and laborious lecture on my personal experience, subsequent research, and all these examples of people who survived and who did not, seeing how their attitudes and mindset toward mortality, health, and disease was actually the most significant contributing factor, and insisted she follow my advice—the most important of which was to take care of her health daily in ways that fed and nurtured her body, not starved it as is so common an errant suggestion these days. My friend followed every bit of my advice and within a month had recovered a great deal of her energy and vitality—but she decided to get chemotherapy against my recommendation, but though she immediately lost progress in her wellness the cancer did start to shrink. She decided to compromise between my advice and her medical professional’s and only did 3/4 of the dose at each session and only 4 sessions instead of the usual 6 (so half the normal dosage). I was very confident from her progress that she didn’t need to lose her breasts, and so she refused mastectomy, instead choosing lumpectomy. Wonderfully (and not surprisingly) the biopsies came back completely cancer free just 6-7 months after her original diagnosis.

Those who ignored their health, diet, and recovery when presented with cancer died, while those who actively did something about it lived, whether it was through my work or conventional treatment—although conventional treatment still has high rates of mortality, having cancer is absolutely the end of life if the reaction to is denial and acquiescence to fear—because the state of cancer represents one of the absolute worst states of human health that absolutely must be rescued if survival is expected. But part of my work surrounding cancer recovery is the emphasis also that much conventional treatment also ignores the harms that chemotherapy and radiation cause the body—for instance, xenobiotics like chemotherapy require massive amounts of sulfate to detoxify through the liver, but cancer also consumes sulfur proteins at a rapid rate, so most deaths which occur during cancer treatment are due to total exhaustion of sulfate by both the cancer and the treatment which then causes the body to die of poisoning due to impaired liver detoxification.

The thing about cancer is that it is not a disease that stops trying to kill you once you recover—there is a still a small bit of scar tissue where my skin cancer was, and it would again become cancerous if I did not continue eating healthy and taking care of my body every single day. When I am very much older I may yet still die from it. We are still mortal after we get well from any disease, and until the day we die there is always yet future risk of any disease that affect human beings. Many people who consume my work (and that of others like Dr. Peat) desire liberation from the laws of cause and consequence, or saved from mortality altogether—Such an attitude is completely psychotic, and no matter how well we ever understand the human body can we be liberated from mortality, except through death. My book is not 500 pages of telling people they can sit on their ass and not take care of their body—It’s that long because that is the amount of information that is required just to not die young, as I nearly did, as human biology is massively complex and dependent on hundreds and hundreds of dietary and environmental factors. I have heard people complain that my work is overcomplicated, but there are over 4,000 documented enyzmes in the human body alone, with about 75,000 suspected, and my work probably discusses 50 at most. In truth, my work simplifies biology, and thinking biology is more simple than what can be covered in 500 pages is the same delusional desire to avoid complex problems and triggering of fears as what motivates people to avoid dealing with their cancer at diagnosis. Life and reality do not work the way we want them to—we must work the way life and reality want of us.

My work often includes psychotherapy because attitudes and trauma about our bodies, health, disease, and mortality are the greatest plague to anyone’s wellbeing, with those of us whom delusionally engage in destructive dieting behaviors or neglect of our bodies being the most at risk of experiencing catastrophic health crises, and getting cancer is often met by a state of denial, fear, and confusion which is also exacerbated by friends and family members all insisting that you get chemotherapy to prove to them that death can be beaten. This problem is made worse by the cancer state itself in which high circulating ammonia also clouds the mind and makes thinking difficult, but there is no reality in which we can, as humans, simply do what we want or ignore our problems and expect to be well—the body operates on finite laws of nature and biology, and they MUST be fulfilled otherwise they will not function, and our biology also does not give one flying fuck what you think about that, if you have personal preferences for appearance, or are bothered by the inconvenience. The upside is that while reading my book is long and laborious its recommendations are not really that hard and mostly involve eating foods you are already familiar with. If you refuse to take care of your body, you will die, but that is okay in the end because we all do die eventually. If you want to live a little longer, however, the first and foremost requirement is to get to work and start doing the things required to take care of your health and wellbeing.

If you haven’t seen my 7-step recovery guide for cancer go give it a read, or visit my article about solving the Warburg Effect (which is the underlying cause of cancer). Lots of misinformation on cancer also circulates on the internet, such as there being “superfoods" and supplements you can buy to cure it, but there is in fact no such thing as a superfood.
