He’s a professor of biology, who’s studied cancer for 30+ years.
His message? Cancer isn’t bad genes or bad luck—it’s damaged mitochondria.
This flips everything you’ve been told about how to treat & prevent cancer:
1/ Cancer rates are on the rise, why?
- 1,676 people die daily from cancer in the U.S.
- Young seemingly healthy people are being diagnosed more often than ever.
- Billions spent, yet the "war on cancer" failed.
Seyfried: We're hitting the wrong target.
2/ Mainstream dogma: "Cancer is a genetic disease caused by DNA mutations.”
Seyfried: Wrong.
DNA damage is a symptom, not cause.
Real cause: Damaged mitochondria
Healthy mitochondria = NO cancer.
3/ Big idea #1: Mitochondria, not the genes, determines if a cell becomes cancerous
When cells can’t make energy with oxygen, they switch to the ancient fermentation pathway.
Cancer thrives by burning glucose & glutamine without oxygen.
Uncontrolled cell growth follows.
4/ Seyfried builds on Otto Warburg’s forgotten theory.
Warburg won the 1931 Nobel Prize in Medicine.
He observed cancer cells ferment sugar even with oxygen (Warburg Effect) and believed cancer was metabolic, not genetic.
Modern science ignored him.
Seyfried didn’t.
5/ Proof from research?
Damaged DNA + healthy mitochondria = NO cancer
Healthy DNA + damaged mitochondria = CANCER
DNA isn't the trigger, it's downstream damage
6/ Research from the visionary biologist Michael Levin supports this:
Cancer is a disease of failed bioelectric signaling, not genes.
7/ Big idea #2: All cancers are one disease: damaged mitochondria.
Yet medicine divides tumors by organs (breast, lung, brain).
We're treating symptoms, not the root cause.
8/ Dr. Jason Fung, MD, author of "The Cancer Code", agrees:
Cancer isn’t just a genetic disease, it’s a disease of bioenergetics.
Standard treatments often fail because they ignore the root cause: dysfunctional metabolism.
9/ “What about BRCA1 and other inherited cancer genes?”
They also connect back to mitochondrial dysfunction.
These genes influence mitochondrial proteins involved in the electron transport chain, which is essential for energy production.
They increase cancer risk but aren’t sufficient to cause it on their own.
10/ What damages mitochondria?
- Ultra-proccessed foods, high carb at wrong seasons
- Insulin resistance
- Chronic inflammation
- Lack of exercise & movement
- Poor sleep
- Chemical toxins, heavy metals, mold
- EMFs (Wi-Fi, 5G)
- Chronic Stress
- Viruses (HPV, Hepatitis)
- Artificial Blue Light
11/ Seyfried’s approach to cancer:
- Get body into nutritional ketosis (Glucose/Ketone Index < 2.0) via ketogenic diet or fasting
- Press glucose & pulse the glutamine with targeted drugs
- Bonus: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy
12/ Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)
Seyfried sees it as a metabolic add-on.
When used with keto + glucose restriction, HBOT floods tumors with oxygen.
Normal cells benefit from the oxygen boost.
Cancer cells can’t handle the oxidative stress, they get stressed & die.
13/ Seyfried’s bottom line:
You don’t get cancer if your mitochondria is healthy.
Period.
Cancer doesn’t happen overnight, start early, protect your mitochondria to prevent cancer.
10 Natural Remedies That Actually Work (Backed by Common Sense & Science)
1. Bad Breath
If your breath could knock out a room—try this:
Rinse your mouth with warm saltwater.
• It kills odor-causing bacteria
• It freshens your breath naturally
• And it costs basically nothing
2. Headaches
Feel that pounding behind your eyes?
Before popping painkillers, try this:
• Apply a cold or warm compress (your choice)
• Target your forehead or neck
• It relaxes tension & improves blood flow
Relief might be minutes away.
3. Hangover
Woke up wrecked after a wild night?
Hydration is your hero.
According to a study, if you ask these 36 questions to a girl, you can make her fall in love.
Here are the 36 questions:
1. Given the choice of anyone in the world, whom would you want as a dinner guest?
2. Would you like to be famous? In what way?
3. Before making a telephone call, do you ever rehearse what you are going to say? Why?
4. What would constitute a “perfect” day for you?
5. When did you last sing to yourself? To someone else?
6. If you were able to live to the age of 90 and retain either the mind or body of a 30-year-old for the last 60 years of your life, which would you want?
7. Do you have a secret hunch about how you will die?
