    Most cancers overproduce cortisol, and it accelerates their growth

    This post is right on the heels of the one I just did on cortisol stimulating its own production and driving cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes, etc. The study below demonstrates that most tumor types known to medicine overexpress the rate-limiting enzyme for cortisol synthesis known as...

    Fasting/exercise/lowcarb/keto may promote cancer (melanoma) metastasis

    Quite the title for this post, but I think the evidence from the study below is clear. Namely, chronic activation of the so-called "master metabolic sensor" AMPK is a key mechanism through which melanoma cells rewire their metabolism from higher into lower OXPHOS, change their physical structure...

    Blocking Cystine, And Thus Glutathione (GSH) Synthesis, Kills Cancer Stem Cells

    Yet another study that adds to the evidence that cancer is a metabolic disease, driven by excessive reductive stress. I posted a few other threads on the role of glutathione precursors in cancer, and specifically on the role of cysteine in melanoma. In the body, cysteine gets converted into...

    SIRT1 Is A Key Promoter Of Leukemia And Other Blood Cancers

    SIRT1 (one of the sirtuin genes) is currently one of the stars in the nutritional/medical blogosphere. As far as back as 2004, SIRT1 was promoted as a key regulator of longevity and activating this gene was marketed as one of the most reliable ways of increasing lifespan. Resveratrol was lauded...

    Cancer Transmitted By Organ Transplant, Curable If Immune System Is Intact

    This is a fascinating study that shows organ donation from a person with undiagnosed breast cancer resulted in cancer developing in the organ recipients. This suggests that even in the case of localized tumors, the rest of the body is already in "cancer mode" and seemingly healthy...

    Fatty Acid Oxidation (FAO) Makes Cancer Therapy-resistant, Niacinamide May Help

    Yet another study that shows FAO playing a crucial role in cancer progression. As many forum users know, anti-angiogenic therapies are one of the cornerstones of current cancer treatments. This therapy typically uses the so-called VEGF inhibitors to block the formation of new blood vessels in...

    It's Official - Cancer Surgery Drives Metastasis, Aspirin Can Prevent Them

    The appearance of metastases has long been considered one of the most mysterious and important aspects of cancer due to the fact that metastases can occur even in organisms where the primary tumor has been completely removed and the rest of the organism has been completely isolated form the...

    Dietary Fat And Its Oxidation Drives Cancer Metastasis

    Yet another study that discover cancer cells love for fat. As I posted in a few other threads, cancer cells actually need fat (preferably PUFA) for metastasis and survival, and use sugar for ATP generation. Achilles Heel Of Cancer Found - Its Addiction To Fat Cancer Cells Addicted To Fat And Use...

    Niacinamide Fully Prevents Breast Cancer Metastasis

    In yet another winning day (as Trump likes to say) for niacinamide, this study shows that the metastatic process of breast cancer is controlled by the NAD/NADH ratio, and NAD precursors like niacinamide can be effective chemotherapeutic agents. The human equivalent dose was 3g - 3.5g daily for a...
