The Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Otto H. Warburg, had devoted his life to the study of and cause of cancer.

 

Dr. Warburg was one of the 20th centuries leading biologists, and he discovered that the root cause of cancer is too much acidity in the body, meaning that the pH in the body is below the normal level of 7.365, which constitutes an “acidic” state. Warburg investigated the metabolism of tumours and the respiration of cells and discovered that cancer cells maintain and thrive in a lower pH, as low as 6.0, due to lactic acid production and elevated CO2. He firmly believed that there was a direct relationship between pH and oxygen. Higher pH, which is Alkaline, means higher concentration of oxygen molecules, while lower pH, which is acidic, means lower concentrations of oxygen…the same oxygen that is needed to maintain healthy cells.

 

In 1931 Dr. Warburg was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine for this important discovery. He stated, “Cancerous tissues are acidic, whereas healthy tissues are alkaline. Water splits into H+ and OH- ions, if there is and excess of H+, it is acidic; if there is an excess of OH- ions, then it is alkaline”.

In his work The Metabolism of Tumours Warburg demonstrated that “all forms of cancer are characterized by two basic conditions: acidosis and hypoxia (lack of oxygen). Lack of oxygen and acidosis are two sides of the same coin: where you have one, you have the other.” “All normal cells have an absolute requirement for oxygen, but cancer cells can live without oxygen – a rule without exception. Deprive a cell 35% of its oxygen for 48 hours and it may become cancerous.”

Dr. Warburg has made it clear that the root cause of cancer is oxygen deficiency, which creates an acidic state in the human body. Dr. Warburg also discovered that cancer cells are anaerobic (do not breathe oxygen) and cannot survive in the presence of high levels of oxygen, as found in an alkaline state.

this article points out the importance of the breath.  People take it for granted every day.  Take a moment and enjoy Active breathing.  It's amazing.

Good call gary..

 

a clear breath is amazing...as a 5 year non smoker i can attest to the truth..

 

thank you for the reminder.

[mibrains]

truth be told i don't really know if any of these articles i repost have total validity.. i review them...however i repost them in blind ignorance of possible truth in the hopes of starting a conversation about the information..

 

right or wrong....

 

we need to talk about cannabis.

So according to this people with emphysema and COPD and asthma should have a lot higher incidence of cancer because their blood oxygen level is consistently lower than average.

 

Yeah ut uh. An interesting hypothesis from over 80 years ago but it never went anywhere.

[garyfisher]

You cannot draw that conclusion from what is stated by the author.  The author claims acidic is the cause but maybe it's just an effect.  What is important though is the correlation between acidic pH and cancer.  This is still at best only a correlation.

 

What you can hypothesize is that those disease sufferers are at higher risk to develop certain types of cancers. 

[garyfisher]

 

We conclude that COPD is both a common and important independent risk factor for lung cancer.

So yes, according to this theory, people with cancer have a high rate of COPD, this article states 40-70% of lung cancer sufferers have COPD.

i had heard of all of these people talking about alkaline diets and acidic ph balances, but i never heard where it all came from.

 

also never heard of the oxygen thing. cancer cells are anaerobic ? i had no idea.

very interesting stuff.

thanks.

Yo gary bro the article say that the lung cancer and copd can merely be caused by shared smoking exposure. Does't say copd is a cancer cause. Plus if copd from decreased oxygen caused cancer you'd expect to see copd coexisting at a high rate with other cancers not just lung cancer becuz obviously decreased oxygen levels affects the whole body not just the lungs.

 

I don't see any reliable source in my search that indicates that cancer cells are exclusively anaerobic. Google it and you come up with a bunch of conspiracy websites but nothing reliable.

 

Allexperts.com has an article by a Dana Krempels PhD. She says all cells undergo both aerobic and anaerobic metabolism.

 

Seems like the oxygen factor leads to a dead end trail. What we need are studies on different cancers and cannabinoids and see if there is any hope there. That is prolly more promising than this oxygen stuff.

Abstract

Robust anaerobic metabolism plays a causative role in the origin of cancer cells; however, the oncogenic metabolic genes, factors, pathways, and networks in genesis of tumor-initiating cells (TICs) have not yet been systematically summarized. In addition, the mechanisms of oncogenic metabolism in the genesis of TICs are enigmatic. In this review, we discussed multiple cancer metabolism-related genes (MRGs) that are overexpressed in TICs and are responsible for inducing pluripotent stem cells. Moreover, we summarized that oncogenic metabolic genes and onco-metabolites induce metabolic reprogramming, which switches normal mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation to cancer anaerobic metabolism, triggers epigenetic, genetic, and environmental alterations, drives the generation of TICs, and boosts the development of cancer. Importantly, cancer metabolism is controlled by positive and negative metabolic regulators. Positive oncogenic metabolic regulators, including key oncogenic metabolic genes, onco-metabolites, hypoxia, and an acidic environment, promote oncogenic metabolic reprogramming and anaerobic metabolism. However, dysfunction of negative metabolic regulators, including defects in p53, PTEN, and LKB1-AMPK-mTOR pathways, enhances cancer metabolism. Loss of the metabolic balance results in oncogenic metabolic reprogramming, genesis of TICs, and tumorigenesis. Collectively, this review provides new insight into the role and mechanism of these oncogenic metabolisms in the genesis of TICs and tumorigenesis. Accordingly, targeting key oncogenic genes, onco-metabolites, pathways, networks, and the acidic cancer microenvironment appears to be an attractive strategy for novel anti-tumor treatment.
