    Great lecture, excellent process. Detractors can poke holes in anything, especially sitting in front of their PCs in their underwear while those fighting the fight put their work on the line. Is Seyfried's work the end all? Probably not, but at least he's out there cutting a new path with structured and repeatable methodologies while others keep beating the proverbial dead horse. If you think you can do better, go get your PhD and government grants and get to work.

    It's very relevant to me. My mom had breast cancer (52 yrs after starting an active lifestyle - from sedentary) and actually died of brain glioblastoma (60). I had breast cancer (45 yrs, after I started to train for a 1/2 marathon). No "genetic" link. You keep speaking about cell respiratory affect on cell, but I'm not sure I get it. After Bx I needed up with lung MAC. I was told by Dr's that they don't know why I got MAC. Both of us had and no "risk" factors and not genetic. WTF is going on? Would love to understand what you are proposing.

    The embryo development have selective propriety for the blasto cells. Mytochondria and cel metabolism have linked feedback. The problem may be is not conspiration theory, but more than one or two evidences. If you remove a mytochondria of a cel, is probable that new one replace it, hierarchy. Some proteines used for mytochondria is from traduction of nucleous gens.

      If you have any alteration on mytochondial metabolism, then you can induce the result on experiment that you trasnsplant a mytochondria on normal cell. But the gen of mytochondia have so many less gens to fail on a replication. To the basics, mathematics.

  • @Rene-uz3eb
    @Rene-uz3eb Рік тому

    Summarizing where he goes wrong I think I’m still on the same page:
    23:00 the cells don’t go to a ‘more primitive state’ when they run out of oxygen. Hypoxia is a controlled state just like any other state human cells have seen before in evolution, and hypoxia or Ros is certainly nothing new, rather it is extremely common in old people. Sure you get a different phenotype, but you are just as wrong as the genetic people because you assume it’s not controlled by the body.
    He recognizes that the phenotype is an indirect result of mitochondrial energy bottlenecks, which obviously points to one should address what causes the energy deficit, NOT try to further put the freaking cells into even more energy reduced state by cutting off glucose (cancer still uses energy from the mitochondria so that’s futile from the start anyway)

  • @mikepict9011
    @mikepict9011 2 роки тому

    Ok so I think the metabolic solution ( no pun intended ) is hydrogen. It reacts with ROS in the mitochondria producing energy and water . Hopefully revitalizing and detoxifying. Hydrogen is the metabolic solution

      Going vegan is not the total answer. Eating organic in season veg and no sugar to include certain fruits in the diet is key and eating organic no hormone free range chicken, beef and wild salmon is key to improving health when diagnosed with cancer . Eliminating fast food, junk food to include processed breads, chips and sugared cereals. Intermittent fasting also promotes death in cancer cells and everything green and calciferous vegetables not a favorable environment for cancer cells to multiply. Chemo and surgery is not the entire answer in killing the reproduction of cancer cells. Eat clean and illuminate alcohol. Illuminate stress and negative thinking. Be grateful everyday for something.

      @daleg5380 4 роки тому +1

      i think autophagy isnt quite emphasized in the lecture, but he mentioned that cancers cannot really survive in a ketone body because cancer cant metabolize fat to convert into energy like normal cells. That causes cancer to starve and die by itself. As for autophagy, I think it also plays a part but the emphasis is on the metabolic hijack.
