Nobel Prize Winner Says Need For Cellular Adaption Causes Cancer

According to Nobel Prize Winner Otto Warburg, a normal cell deprived of four nutrients causes the cell to adapt by changing to a simpler form of the original cell. The simpler form is a cancer cell and grows out of control like yeast cells. The four nutrients are listed in red in their original context below.

In 1931 Dr. Otto Warburg was awarded the Nobel Prize in medicine for determining the role of a group of enzymes involved in aerobic respiration of healthy cells. During his research he found that the nutrient deprived cells adapt to their nutrient deprived environment by changing from complex cells (which use aerobic respiration) to cancer cells which are simpler cells (which use anaerobic respiration) and the change is irreversible.

In presenting the Nobel Prize to Warburg, hopes were very high, “The medical world expects great things from your experiments on cancer and other tumours, experiments which seem already to be sufficiently far advanced to be able to furnish an explanation for at least one cause of the destructive and unlimited growth of these tumours. “

“The Prime Cause And Prevention Of Cancer”

In June of 1966 Warburg wrote The Prime Cause and Prevention of Cancer which included this paragraph,

“To prevent cancer it is therefore proposed first to keep the speed of the blood stream so high that the venous blood still contains sufficient oxygen; second, to keep high the concentration of hemoglobin in the blood; third, to add always to the food, even of healthy people, the active groups of the respiratory enzymes (the 4 nutrients); and to increase the doses of these groups, if a precancerous state has already developed. If at the same time exogenous carcinogens are excluded rigorously, then much of the endogenous cancer may be prevented today.”

In August of the same year, Warburg revised The Prime Cause and Prevention of Cancer which includes the names of the “active groups of the respiratory enzymes” he wrote of in his original.

“ Cancer, above all other diseases, has countless secondary causes. But, even for cancer, there is only one prime cause. The prime cause of cancer is the replacement of the respiration of oxygen in normal body cells by fermentation of sugar [anaerobic respiration].

All normal body cells meet their energy needs by respiration of oxygen, whereas cancer cells meet their energy needs in great part by fermentation. All normal body cells are thus obligate aerobes, whereas all cancer cells are partial anaerobes. From the standpoint of the physics and chemistry of life this difference between normal and cancer cells is so great that one can scarcely picture a greater difference. Oxygen gas, the donor of energy in plants and animals is dethroned in the cancer cells and replaced by an energy yielding reaction of the lowest living forms, namely, a fermentation of glucose.

Of what use is it to know the prime cause of cancer? Here is an example. In Scandinavian countries there occurs a cancer of throat and esophagus whose precursor is the so-called Plummer-Vinson syndrome. This syndrome can be healed when one adds to the diet the active groups of respiratory enzymes, for example: iron salts, riboflavin (B2), pantothenic acid (B5), and nicotinamide (B3). When one can heal the precursor of a cancer, one can prevent this cancer. According to Ernest Wynder of the Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research in New York, the time has come when one can exterminate this kind of cancer with the help of the active groups of the respiratory enzymes.

It is of interest in this connection that with the help of one of these active groups of the respiratory enzymes, namely nicotinamide, tuberculosis can be healed quite as well as with streptomycin, but without the side effects of the latter. Since the sulfonamides and antibiotics, this discovery made in 1945 is the most important event in the field of chemotherapy generally, and encourages, in association with the experiences in Scandinavia, efforts to prevent cancer by dietary addition of large amounts of the active groups of the respiratory enzymes. “

Weapons Against Cancer

60 Minutes reported on possible cure for cancer – if it can be kept out of the hands of the pharmaceutical industry. John Kanzius isn’t a scientist but does know a little about how radio waves can be used to heat metal. What if you could kill a tumor by injecting it with metal particles and then heat the particles with radio waves? The metal does heat up and kill the tumor.

Nutrition (including selenium) and other methods of prevention are proactive ways to fight cancer. There are of course many reactive methods. The latest are 3 different high tech, bloodless radiation zappers that incinerate tumors. If interested research the Cyberknife, Gamma Knife, and TomoTherapy.
