Avoid mammograms. Switch off birth control drugs-and progestin menopausal drugs, too. Lose your excess fat NOW! Stop holding onto those highly stressful jobs and relationships. Counterintuitive as these may seem, each is among Busting Breast Cancer's Five Simple Steps, documented to effectively prevent breast cancer, thanks to recent developments in our metabolic understanding of cancer. Each reduces your risk of breast cancer by 30 to 80 percent! Dr. Susan Wadia-Ells' shocking new book questions the presumed wisdom of most so-called authorities: National Academy of Medicine, American Cancer Society, Susan G. Komen, and mainstream cancer centers. And why wouldn't we question their wisdom? At least 30 percent of women treated for early-stage breast cancer go on to develop metastatic breast cancer-practically guaranteeing their early death. Physicians must report each recurrence to state registries. But you may be surprised to learn the industry and its federal partners keep these numbers hidden. Perhaps they're just too embarrassing to share. Dr. Wadia-Ells does not pussyfoot around. A journalist with graduate degrees in political economy and women's studies, she aims to change US culture on women's behalf. Reviewing thousands of studies while researching this book, she discovered the 2012 landmark text, Cancer as a Metabolic Disease, by Boston College biologist Thomas N. Seyfried, PhD who lays out the complete biological explanation of how a person's first cancer cell develops. Effective prevention is now possible! Take off the pink ribbons. Stop running for the cure. Keep vitamin D3 above 60 ng/ml. Get rid of the carbs. Practice meditation. Stop suffocating your breast cells' "batteries"-your fragile mitochondria. Take charge; stop that first breast cancer cell before it's ever born. Busting Breast Cancer also proposes political actions: demand the FDA allow affordable $30 hormone-free IUDs; promote breast self-exams; mandate equal insurance coverage for ultrasound screenings and early-prevention thermography. Against a multibillion-dollar industry with too much financial incentive to abandon its failing direction, who can change the course of breast cancer prevention and treatment? YOU can! Only women have the self-interest to do it. And now, with Busting Breast Cancer, you'll have the knowledge, too. Over 900 citations; advance praise from the growing worldwide metabolic oncology community, the DCIS 411 blog, breast cancer survivors and the functional medicine community. Written by an investigative journalist for the general public.

Why the War on Cancer Has Failed and What That Means for More Effective Prevention and Treatment A groundbreaking look at the role of water in living organisms that ultimately brings us closer to answering the riddle of the etiology of, and therapy and treatment for, cancer When President Nixon launched the War on Cancer with the signing of the National Cancer Act of 1971 and the allocation of billions of research dollars, it was amidst a flurry of promises that a cure was within reach. The research establishment was trumpeting the discovery of oncogenes, the genes that supposedly cause cancer. As soon as we identified them and treated cancer patients accordingly, cancer would become a thing of the past. Fifty years later it’s clear that the War on Cancer has failed―despite what the cancer industry wants us to believe. New diagnoses have continued to climb; one in three people in the United States can now expect to battle cancer during their lifetime. For the majority of common cancers, the search for oncogenes has not changed the treatment: We’re still treating with the same old triad of removing (surgery), burning out (radiation), or poisoning (chemotherapy). In Cancer and the New Biology of Water, Thomas Cowan, MD, argues that this failure was inevitable because the oncogene theory is incorrect―or at least incomplete―and based on a flawed concept of biology in which DNA controls our cellular function and therefore our health. Instead, Dr. Cowan tells us, the somatic mutations seen in cancer cells are the result of a cellular deterioration that has little to do with oncogenes, DNA, or even the nucleus. The root cause is metabolic dysfunction that deteriorates the structured water that forms the basis of cytoplasmic―and therefore, cellular―health. Despite mainstream medicine’s failure to bring an end to suffering or deliver on its promises, it remains illegal for physicians to prescribe anything other than the “standard of care” for their cancer patients―no matter how dangerous and ineffective that standard may be―and despite the fact that gentler, more effective, and more promising treatments exist. While Dr. Cowan acknowledges that all of these treatments need more research, Cancer and the New Biology of Water is an impassioned plea from a long-time physician that these promising treatments merit our attention and research dollars and that patients have the right to information, options, and medical freedom in matters of their own life and death.

"Read this important book to learn how cancer is an environmental, metabolic disease with many small causes that stack up―and what you can do to prevent or even reverse it."―Dave Asprey, New York Times bestselling author of The Bulletproof Diet The Optimal Terrain Ten Protocol to Reboot Cellular Health! The Metabolic Approach to Cancer offers an innovative, metabolic-focused nutrition protocol that works. Naturopathic, integrative oncologist and cancer survivor Dr. Nasha Winters and nutrition therapist Jess Higgins Kelley have identified the ten key elements of a person’s “terrain” (think of it as a topographical map of our body) that are crucial to preventing and managing cancer. Each of the terrain ten elements―including epigenetics, the microbiome, the immune system, toxin exposures, and blood sugar balance―is illuminated as it relates to the cancer process, then given a heavily researched and tested, non-toxic and metabolic, focused nutrition prescription. The ketogenic diet―which relies on the body’s production of ketones as fuel―is the centerpiece of The Metabolic Approach to Cancer. Further, Winters and Kelley explain how to harness the anticancer potential of phytonutrients abundant in low-glycemic plant and animal foods to address the 10 hallmarks of cancer―an approach Western medicine does with drug-based therapies. The optimized, genetically-tuned diet shuns: GrainsLegumesSugarGenetically modified foodsPesticidesSynthetic ingredientsThe optimized, genetically-tuned diet emphasizes: Whole, wild foodsLocalOrganicFermentsHeirloomLow-glycemicOther components of their approach include harm-reductive herbal therapies like mistletoe (considered the original immunotherapy and common in European cancer care centers) and cannabinoids (which shrink tumors and increase quality of life, yet are illegal in more than half of the United States). Through addressing the ten root causes of cancer and approaching the disease from a nutrition-focused standpoint, we can slow cancer’s endemic spread and live optimized lives. "The Metabolic Approach to Cancer is a powerhouse of detailed information on how to prevent, manage, and treat cancer. . . . It is written in an intimate conversation style that comes from decades of deep personal experience, research, and genuine passion."―Travis Christofferson, author of Tripping over the Truth
