I have started to write a book on cancer. I will tweet sections as I go along. I will also post them on the Generation Grounded articles page as I go along. What is cancer?

For many, the word “cancer" itself raises stress levels, revealing the whole problem in one.

Cancer is misunderstood, and it is primarily misunderstood because it is feared.

We are correct in calling it a disease, but mistreat the disease.

By writing this, I by no means claim to know the whole of cancer biology, I only write as a matter of urgency, with the knowledge I have, maybe some people can be helped.

I’ve been around cancer, I’ve smelt it in the air, I have seen what it does to the human body, to those with the disease, and those around them. I have studied it, read papers on it, and more importantly, made connections that I am confident that can stand up to a panel of both scientific and logical scrutiny.

Other than that, I have been gifted with openness, and with this openness comes three things,

One, the personal knowledge that even our scientific knowledge of cancer may never be complete.

Two, the understanding that there may be other lesser “conventional” ways of treating diseases.

Three, this is the information that I have been blessed with at this moment in time.

And four, because it just came to me like a winter robin, there will be celebrations acknowledging what is to come.

Whether I am here or not to see this come to mainstream-fruition is another thing.



Let’s say I had a machine that could erase your memories, just like the one in Men In Black, the movie, that shiny silver stick, remember? One flash, and you’ll look at me blankly, glazed, like a baby just breastfed.

Let’s say I have a machine like this and could program it, with a flash, to remove everyone in the world’s memory of cancer as even a thing, I’d push that button in a heartbeat. Double time.

If one forgets all the conditioning of that word, then what?

What is AMPK?

5' adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase is an enzyme that plays a crucial part in cellular energy balance.

Primarily it is thought largely to activate glucose and fatty acid uptake and oxidation when cellular energy is low. https://www.nature.com/articles/nrm.2017.95 But is has other functions.

The authors of this 2022 paper note, "AMPK is an inositol sensor, whose inactivation by inositol serves as a mechanism to restrict mitochondrial fission."

AMPK is an inositol sensor.

My recent digging into the grounding research and electroculture got me thinking.

We know tumour microevironments are usually acidic.

pH is an indication of charge, if there are more positively charged hydroniums than negatively charged hydroxyls, then the substance is acidic.

I believe a background infusion of Vit C and NAC should be given to all cancer patients regardless if they having conventional treatment or not.

In fact if they are having conventional treatment, it should be recommended more. " Both test drugs proved to be effective in diminishing mutagen-induced chromatid breakage in established lymphocyte cell lines"

Smoking cannabis causes the “munchies,” because the CB1 receptor binds the main active ingredient of marijuana, Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC) and mediates most of the CNS effects of Δ9-THC, including hunger. One study used a drug called rimonabant, which worked in the opposite way to marijuana by being a CB1 receptor antagonist.

A lot of people use food unknowingly to quell chronic stress without fixing root problems.

Eating whilst in fight or flight leads to inproper digestion and utilisation of nutrients.

More food is needed, and more of the wrong food is eaten at the wrong time and pace. When autonomic balance is restored, then less food is needed as the body can digest what is eaten properly.

A healthier relationship with food, and ultimately yourself, is formed.

You become bioenergetically efficient.
