As a Marine, I often had to stand watch/be on duty to watch other Marines and to make sure they didn’t kill each other. Sometimes this duty took place within my unit once every few days but sometimes we had a special duty that was more infrequent. One time, late at night in Okinawa I was on front-gate duty where I was with several other Marines checking the IDs of those Marines who were coming back from liberty(leisure time) and making sure that those who were wasted got back to their barracks room safely.
Being an officer I was the lead for this group and while I was checking on IDs a few Marines from inside the base came up to me and told me how they saw a Marine getting jumped by others and getting curb stomped by them. I immediately grabbed some of my guys and sprinted over to the location where they said this jumping was occurring.
Got there to find out that none of what they said was accurate. The guy who was supposedly getting stomped on was actually being pinned to the ground. The reason he was pinned to the ground was that some Marines, seeing his body lying in the middle of the street late at night, thought he might need some help and walked over to get him up. As they tried to shake him/check on him, the man lying on the ground sprung up and proceeded to bite and try to fight those who were trying to help. In order to stop his biting attacks they had to pin him to the ground.
Why do I bring up a story about Marines not being able to accurately perceive what is occurring during a fight? Well, if it's possible for Marines to misdiagnose an altercation, is it possible that medical folks can misdiagnose a medical problem?
Disclaimer: I'm not a doctor. I’m just a guy who likes to ask questions and analyze other’s paradigms. I also have a bias that Industrial Medicine is at best, lost in the sauce/profiting from our sickness.

Intro
Last time in part 2 I covered
Cancer caused by DNA damage
Cancer growing without being signaled by the body
Cancer prevents the immune system from attacking it as well as redirecting blood toward itself
It's important that one look at something in all that it is doing from a birds-eye view in order to correctly perceive what is happening.
Look at the evidence first. What does the evidence teach us? To assert that the purpose of something is (fill in the blank) and then to look at the evidence in this framework will cause problems. Greater problems will be caused by this assertion if it goes on for decades and decades without question.
Therefore, I find it important to ask, “What is Cancer” instead of, “How to fight Cancer” The problem with Modern Industrial Medicine is that it looks at Cancer Cells, or bacteria, immediately identifies them as a target, and proceeds to try and eradicate them. Every piece of evidence that could suggest otherwise is molded into this framework.
It grows without signaling(that they can detect so far) = It’s out of control
It has immunosuppressive elements = It’s tricking the body
It redirects blood to itself = It’s highjacking the body
It uses glucose for energy = It’s using an inefficient fuel source( therefore it’s also dumb)
It pumps out lactic acid = “Acid sounds like a bad word therefore it must be all bad.”
Is cancer really just this out-of-control process? What if it’s not? What if it has a purpose?
Warburg Effect
What sets apart cancer cells from normal cells is that they run heavily on glucose1. It takes this glucose, ferments it, then it becomes lactate which I’ll cover shortly.
All our cells have a way of storing and creating energy. The main, “Currency” of our cells is Adenosine Triphosphate(ATP). There are three paths through which it can be generated.
Glycolysis (From Glucose)
Deamination (From Amino Acids)
Beta-Oxidation (From Free Fatty Acids)
Cancer cells, depending on where they are at, mainly use glycolysis or more specifically, “Aerobic Glycolysis” and it’s believed that this is the most inefficient way of producing energy.
Why cancer cells use glucose and ferment it in this Aerobic Glycolysis process for fuel is still unknown. Some beliefs state that it could be due to damaged mitochondria aka the cell’s powerhouse2. However, we must keep in mind that almost everything in cancer research over the past century has been from the standpoint that this is a disease.
If it is not a disease it would be strange that these cells use a form of energy production that is considered inefficient by the mainstream. Unless it is trying to use an alternative fuel source so as to not impair the operation of the cells that are healthy.
There is also research that cancer cells take in fats for energy as well.3 Which I found that interesting given that there are ways to determine how much of the fat in our body comes through more natural foods vs processed foods aka seed oils.
As I have explained elsewhere, seed oils contribute to cancer. If cancer is a healing mechanism, and the seed oils that folks consume lead to greater health problems, this might answer why cancer is using up fats as fuel. If it's the bad fats, then it's using up the toxic material that shouldn’t be there in the first place.
Hypoxic Conditions
Whereas healthy cells use oxygen cancer cells are in a state that is referred to as hypoxic or a lack of oxygen use4. These hypoxic conditions will remain even in the presence of sufficient oxygen. Under normal situations, the oxygen will aid in the full use of glucose for energy and then turn that into ATP. But in cancer cells the lack of oxygen causes the glucose to ferment and turn into lactic acid.
There is Hypberaic Oxygen Treatment which the intent is to flood the body with pure oxygen in order to fight cancer. However, the results of this are inconclusive5. In addition to this, it is to be used in conjunction with chemotherapy or radiation.
However, if it does truly work(even by itself) I wouldn’t be surprised at this point to find out that research on this treatment was punted into the sand on purpose. But there are other options. One of the best ways to have oxygenated blood is to be active which, if you’re reading my stuff you should already be doing or motivated to do.
If it truly doesn’t work, then this might mean that the cancer cells in the body are deciding to not use oxygen for a reason or that the lack of oxygen is not the true root of the issue.
Lactic Acid Pump
In part two of this series, I discussed how the claims of cancer being genetic occurred long before we fully mapped the human genome. Even after mapping it, there are things we still don’t understand and have changed over the past few years like the concept of Junk DNA. With Lactic Acid in the body, it's the same thing6. Over the last two decades, it has become understood that lactic acid is more than just a waste product. What are some of its functions you might ask?
Energy Regulation (Creating energy to power cells when they demand more oxygen than your body gives)7
Immune tolerance (Signaling your cells to create an immune response for injuries and infections.)
Memory formation (Brain Function Regulation)
Wound healing
Ischemic tissue injury
Cancer growth and metastasis
Some studies, looking at lactic acid are scratching their heads and looking into what mechanism in the cancer cells or the acid is stopping the immune system from stopping it8. Looking at all this from the standpoint that cancer and it’s lactic acid is a problem, there are several anomalies given that most of the things above are positive events.
But from the perspective that cancer might be a healing mechanism as some studies suggest.9
You have a complete picture. One of repair.
Therefore, if the body is trying to repair itself by transforming its cells to better combat bodily toxins then it makes sense the rest of the immune system will leave it alone.
Application
My opinion is that the way industrial medicine is dealing with cancer is ineffective. The incidence of various types of cancer is increasing for all demographics even kids. The amount of toxicity we have to deal with today is higher than in past decades and centuries. It’s not just from our food, but the stuff in our medicine, and our communications technology10 as well. From this repair paradigm the more toxins we get, even at a younger age, the quicker our body will kick into repair mode.
For myself, just because my body might go into repair mode that doesn’t mean that I’m going kick my feet up.
If the body is trying to heal itself then I help it in that healing process. Cancer has been found to have similar processes to wound healing.11 Keep in mind that healing processes can spin out of control if not addressed properly.
These suppressed cancer treatments, Essiac, B-17, Antineoplaston, and many others, the reason I believe they could worked was because they were aiding the body in its repair process. They were not damaging both “Normal” and “Cancerous” cells at the same time as established treatments.
What I’m going to do 24/7 whether my body goes into repair mode or not is…
Staying Active
Grounding
Minimizing Non-Native EMF
Minimize Seed Oils
Intermittent Fasting
I believe health is simple, as long as we live within our nature and give our bodies what it needs to repair itself there will be minimal problems.
Wrap Up
Am I a madman? Quite possibly.
But at this point in my life given all that I’ve read and experienced it is hard for me to believe that anybody with a standard industrial medicine education has the right answer. It's mostly profit at best. But where this system came from I’ll discuss in the near future for all you paid subscribers. I’ll be going down the rabbit hole of the Flexner Report.
Thank you for making it to the end and being a paid subscriber. Let me know your thoughts down below.
Until next time.
“It is better not to treat those who have internal cancers since, if treated, they die quickly; but if not treated they last a long time.” (p230 Hipporcatic Writings)
As I discovered with my wife is true more often that not...it's the TREATMENT...not the cancer...that kills most people.
was reading somewhere that there was a lower incidence of breast cancer for women who did a lot of upper body anaerobic exercise/weight lifting due to the lactic acid (not sure if I still have the link) so maybe lactic acid is helping somehow or it could be the higher muscle composition, lower fat reduction in hormones or maybe increase circulation of lymphatic fluid or combination.
at this point i would rather let nature take its course than anything from pharma.
