Ray mentions him. Dr. Rubin is a veterinarian who researches and still seems active. He must be 90 years old.
I think he should have gotten a Nobel.
He found that some viruses cause cancer. He found out how some viruses BLOCK these cancer-causing viruses similar to how cowpox apparently blocks smallpox. And he found out how cancer tissues in contact with healthy tissues become non-cancerous, and vice versa.
He has recently been studying how magnesium deficiency contributes to carcinogenesis.
I think his idea of cancer is quite epigenetic. Inflammation causes many epigenetic changes in a given organ's cells, and some of these changes are bad ones. These bad changes can eventually overwhelm the healthy cells ability to keep the bad cells in check, and the bad cells eventually become a tumor.
Dr. Gershon Zajicek also has influenced Dr. Peat.
Dr. Zajiceck believes cancer starts with a virus, chronic inflammation and viremia, and this leads to the "cancer field".
Both researchers believe similarly but Zajicek believes more that the virus can be stopped, and that will stop cancer's progression.
However, Zajicek says that the longer we live with a tumor, the more our host defences keep it under control, and that cancer is just another type of cell in the body that we learn to live with. Cancer is a "new life" for us but we don't try to get rid of it, we just live with it, and try to be strong.
People seldom die of cancer but often die from cancer TREATMENTs and their death is not attributed correctly.
Most of the cancer treatments nowadays are very expensive and not proven to work, but they are allowed to be offered because they somehow satisfy the desire for a positive "surrogate endpoint" prior to death.
