In the early 20th century, the German physician, Dr. Otto H. Warburg investigated the metabolism of tumors and the respiration of cells, particularly cancer cells, and in 1931 was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his “discovery of the nature and mode of action of the respiratory enzyme.”

Dr. Warburg also wrote about oxygen’s relationship to the pH of cancer cells internal environment. Since fermentation was a major metabolic pathway of cancer cells, Dr. Warburg reported that cancer cells maintain a lower pH, as low as 6.0, due to lactic acid production and elevated CO2. He firmly believed that there was a direct relationship between pH and oxygen. Higher pH means higher concentration of oxygen molecules or alkalinity while lower pH means lower concentrations of oxygen or acidity.

In his work “The Metabolism of Tumours,” Dr. Warburg demonstrated that all forms of cancer are characterized by two basic conditions: acidosis and hypoxia (lack of oxygen). Dr. Warburg has made it clear that the root cause of cancer is oxygen deficiency, which creates an acidic state in the human body. He also discovered that cancer cells are anaerobic (do not breathe oxygen) and cannot survive in the presence of high levels of oxygen, as found in an alkaline state. It’s important to note here that the words toxic and acidic are interchangeable.

The ideal pH level for the venous blood is 7.36 and if the body maintains this level, cancer cells simply cannot grow according to Dr. Leonard Coldwell, a holistic physician who is called by many authorities the world’s leading expert on cancer. Having cured his own mother from terminal liver cancer over 30 years ago, Dr. Coldwell believes that 86% of all cancer cases are caused from mental and emotional stress and that the remaining 14% is caused from toxic chemicals from the tap water such as chlorine and fluoride, heavy metals from vaccines and dental fillings such as mercury, and exposure to harmful radiation.

The body cures itself of cancer all the time. From birth, cancer cells are killed by the body’s natural immune system, over and over and over again until one day, it is not capable of doing it anymore (because of the aforementioned reasons) and that’s when cancer remains “unchecked” and develops into malignant tumors. And then the medical association calls this “getting cancer,” which is an inaccurate statement because we all “get cancer” all the time. If the body remains healthy, i.e. free of stress, toxins, and radiation, it will be easy to keep it in the proper pH alkaline state of 7.36 so that cancer cells cannot become tumors.

Most people are malnourished. I’m not talking about people living in impoverished, third-world nations either. I’m talking about middle-class Americans. Because their diet consists mainly of starch, sugar, and GMO’s (genetically modified organisms), the body is disallowed from its needed intake of trace minerals, essential fatty acids, and anti-oxidants that it requires to rebuild and repair tissue, and to maintain a slightly alkaline state.

The average American is consuming about one-third of a pound of sugar every day. Most of this sugar comes from high fructose corn syrup which is the primary ingredient in processed foods such as chips, crackers, cereals, breads, pastries, cakes, cookies, and candy. Besides sucrose and fructose intake, lactose, the sugar found in dairy products such as milk, cheese, and yogurt, is the third most common form of sugar consumed.

The so-called “health drinks,” such as fruit juice, contains a concentrated amount of pure sugar. And just because it’s “all natural”, it doesn’t mean it’s good for you. Your body can’t tell the difference between sugar from cane, sugar from fruit, sugar from milk, sugar from maple syrup, or sugar from honey. To the body, it’s all sugar! In addition to all of this, complex carbohydrate foods such as bread, pasta, soy, legumes, whole grains, and potatoes, all get converted to sugar in the bloodstream. As a result of this ever-increasing sugar addiction in the U.S., we have seen the rates of diabetes, cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, and A.D.H.D. skyrocket to epidemic proportions in the last fifty years.

So, what’s wrong with sugar? Well, cancer loves it. Sugar is acidic-forming in the body because is lowers the pH. This creates the ideal environment for cancer to thrive. Cancer forms in your body all the time, and has been forming and dying since you were born. If the body is healthy and maintains a pH level that is slightly alkaline (7.35 – 7.45), then it will be able to defend itself against the proliferation of cancer cells. If, however, the environment is perfect for cancer to thrive, as in an acidic, toxic, low-oxygen state, then cancer cells can multiply rapidly and form tumors.

The best way to give the body the nutrients it needs for optimal health and maintaining an alkaline state is through diet. This means consuming as many sugar-free, nutrient-dense, anti-oxidant rich foods as you can eat. Throw out the grape nuts and begin consuming mushrooms, squash, broccoli, kale, artichokes, and peppers. And stop drowning yourself in sugary coffee drinks and begin drinking tea instead. A cup of tea (both black and green) contains about ten times the anti-oxidants found in a single serving of cauliflower.

Approximately 4 billion years ago, before the earth contained an oxygen-based atmosphere, the very first forms of life on earth fed on just two nutrients: sugar and protein. Stored within the DNA of every living organism today lies the memory of this biological fact. The very fist living cells lacked a nucleus (prokaryotic cells) and fed anaerobically on sugars and proteins.

Later, after the development of an oxygen-based atmosphere, higher organisms developed from cells containing a nucleus (eukaryotic cells) and the use of fat became a nutrient source for the first time. These aerobic-feeding cells use fatty acids and ketones for fuel, just as most mammalian and human cells do today. Because fat is an aerobic nutrient, it forms the basis of aerobic metabolism in our human bodies. This is the distinction between aerobic and anaerobic energy sources.

A Nobel Prize in Medicine was awarded to Dr. Otto H. Warburg in 1931 for his research on the relationship of oxygen to the pH of cancer cells. His research showed that cancer cells were anaerobic and therefore maintained more acidic pH levels. Because of the high CO2 and lactic acid production, the pH could be as low as 6.0 in a cancerous environment. He proved that there was a direct relationship between oxygen, blood Ph levels, and growing cancer cells.

There is a current theory that is becoming popularized by alternative nutritionists and holistic health providers. It involves how cancer cells proliferate in the body. The theory posits that cancer forms in a fermentative, acidic, sugar-dense, anaerobic environment which emulates our earliest primordial environment, reversing some cells to their prokaryotic, nucleus-lacking, state. This theory further postulates that cancerous tumors are masses of these identical cells that contain a weak protein matrix that feeds only on sugars.

Cancer cells form periodically in the body from birth. A healthy immune system will prevent the proliferation of them. But when the body becomes so overloaded with toxins — such as from the air we breathe, the EMF radiation we’re exposed to, the fluoride and chlorine we drink and bathe in from our water, the toxic vaccines we inject into our children, and the carcinogens, GMOs, and the dumpster-full of sugar that we consume in a lifetime — these life-giving, healthy aerobic, oxygen-feeding, eukaryotic cells are not able to properly perform their immune system duties. And this leads to the thriving of deadly cancer tumors.

The only cure for cancer is prevention. By adhering to a strict diet that is sugar-, starch-, and gluten-free, we prevent sugar from entering our bodies that were designed to feed exclusively on oxygen. This will help to create a slightly alkaline pH level of 7.35 to 7.45, ensuring that cancer cells won’t be able to form in the first place — and if by some slim chance they do form — they would be overtaken by a healthy, aerobic-feeding, anti-oxidant-based immune system.
