This is Dr. Otto Warburg.

He won the Nobel Prize for discovering how cancer cells feed.

Then found a way to prevent cancer, diabetes & obesity but when he revealed it, the medical system destroyed him.

Here are his 7 suppressed findings that Big Pharma hopes you never learn:🧵

They didn’t just ignore his research.

They erased him from the story of cancer for 90 years.

Here’s the story…

In 1931, Warburg won the Nobel Prize for Medicine for identifying the “prime cause” of cancer.

He showed cancer cells switch from oxygen-based energy (respiration) to sugar fermentation even when oxygen is present.

This is now called the Warburg Effect.

Here’s why it shook the industry:

· Normal cells use oxygen in the mitochondria to make energy.

· Cancer cells bypass mitochondria & live off glucose fermentation.

· This makes them dependent on sugar.

Now let’s talk about his 7 finding that got suppressed (next tweet)

1) Oxygen is central to health.

He argued most chronic diseases, cancer, diabetes, & obesity begin with impaired cellular respiration.

It was a metabolic problem first.

2) Cancer thrives on sugar.

Warburg’s experiments showed that when deprived of glucose, cancer cells struggled to survive.

This insight fueled decades of ignored research into low-carb & ketogenic diets as adjuncts for cancer therapy.

3) Toxins suffocate cells.

Warburg observed environmental toxins, smoking, and pollution block oxygen use in cells.

He believed rising industrial pollution directly fueled chronic disease epidemics.

4) Acidic environments feed disease.

By fermenting glucose, cancer cells pump out lactic acid, lowering pH.

Warburg argued that an acidic, low-oxygen environment was the perfect breeding ground for tumors.

5) The mitochondria matter most.

Long before modern “longevity science,” Warburg showed damaged mitochondria are the starting point of disease.

6) Prevention was possible.

Warburg said: keep cells oxygen-rich, avoid excess sugar, and reduce toxins.

Simple. Inexpensive. Not profitable.

That’s why his ideas faced relentless opposition from the pharmaceutical industry.

7) Lifestyle is medicine.

He promoted daily movement, deep breathing, clean foods, and sunlight exposure as ways to keep oxygen flow high.

Decades later, research confirms these habits support mitochondrial function and reduce disease risk.

Warburg’s ideas were too disruptive:

They threatened billion-dollar industries built on treating symptoms, not fixing root causes.

Please consider retweeting this to help remind others of a truth modern medicine often forgets:

Health begins with energy at the cellular level.
