“Cancer is not a genetic disease, it’s a metabolic disease,” Thomas N. Seyfried , a well-known scholar in cancer research and a Professor of Biology at Boston College, told The Epoch Times. “Once people understand that cancer is a metabolic disease, then you will begin to see a very big reduction in death and greatly improved quality of life and survival.” Cancer Has Remained High for Decades According to the statistics of the American Cancer Society, although the incidence of cancer in the United States has been declining slowly since the beginning of the 21st century, if we look at it over an extended period of time, we will find that the incidence of cancer is actually increasing, not decreasing. Research suggests that cancer may not be a genetic disorder. (Health 1+1 / The Epoch Times) ...

The common denominator for overall health—including longevity, brain health, gut health, liver health, immune health, and kidney health—is mitochondrial health. Many chronic diseases can be traced to mitochondrial dysfunction. Seemingly diverse conditions—including  diabetes ,  hypertension ,  heart disease ,  cancer , allergies, autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, and even various mental illnesses—can be understood through a “unified theory” of mitochondrial imbalance. Mitochondria are involved in many vital processes in human cells, including energy production, fatty-acid oxidation, and the Tricarboxylic Acid (TCA) cycle, calcium signaling, apoptosis (cellular death), and heat production. However to simplify things let’s talk about energy and longevity which is what their function translates to for practical purposes. And to help this occur, we can review the health practices, along with the best supplements to improve mitocho...
