Causes of Cancer

Causes of cancer & the biological changes that take place which set the stage for cancer

It was Nobel Prize winner, Otto Warburg, who first identified that cancer cells have an altered metabolism. In 1931, this was a breakthrough and has led to a greater understanding of how cancer may be prevented and how the outcome in cancer patients can be improved. What Warburg discovered is that a long-term lack of oxygen allows for normal healthy cells to turn into cancer cells. With this discovery we had our first insights into factors and causes of cancer. But how does this occur?

Healthy cells function by the respiration of oxygen but when cells are deprived of oxygen they survive on the fermentation of sugar. This means low energy (ATP) levels inside of cells.

A healthy cell has a resting membrane voltage of about 70 millivolts. A cancer cell has a resting membrane potential of only around 30 millivolts. A healthy cell is continuously pulling in potassium and pushing out sodium in order to function properly but when the energy of the cell is diminished it can no longer do this which leads to a build-up of acid in the cell. This excess of acid means that oxygen cannot enter the cell, and so the cell has to look elsewhere for a source of energy, which it finds in the fermentation of sugar. The metabolism of cancer cells is approximately eight times greater than the metabolism of normal cells, hence they crave sugar so much in their quest to survive.

With this identification of such a drastic metabolic change, we start to unlock factors and causes of cancer. It becomes clear that boosting oxygen supply is essential in order to prevent cancer occurring, or as part of its treatment. Cancer cells are traditionally unpredictable, often appearing to have vanished after treatment, only to resurface later on. One reason for this is that conventional cancer treatments usually fail to address either the underlying causes of cancer or the conditions that cancer cells thrive in – e.g., lack of oxygen.

Many people think that when you increase oxygen supply to cancer cells it helps them grow, but actually oxygenating the cell with a better blood supply strengthens blood vessels in cancer cells, making cancer treatments more effective.

How to Treat the Causes of Cancer

At LifeWorks Wellness Center, we use a test called the Cancer Metabolic Profile to see how much anaerobic metabolism is occurring in the body. This metabolic change precedes actual development of cancer.

If levels are found to be low, we offer a protocol which combines PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy) with IV Vitamin C, Ozone, Glutathione, Kaqun water, diet and detoxification to help restore cell health before any Cancer can take hold.

Pulsed Electromagnetic Field treatments are unique. They recharge the cell membrane to normal, increase oxygen delivery to cells, increase potassium influx into cells, remove cell toxins and improve cell alkalinity.

When working with patients who already have cancer, we complement Insulin Potentiation Therapy (IPT) with various ozone therapies for cancer to flood the cancer cells with an oxygen-rich environment. The ozone therapy also energizes the healthy cells and helps them to fight back against the cancer itself and the underlying causes of cancer. We also strengthen the patient’s immune system with IV and oral nutritional protocols which maximize the potential for recovery.
