In 1971, Nixon declared a War on Cancer. Cancer deaths have increased 9% since 1950.
The average survival benefit from all new cancer therapies over the past fifteen years is 2.4 months.
That is not the record of a field that found the right answer.
The Cancer Genome Atlas spent billions sequencing cancer cells to confirm the somatic mutation theory of cancer. Instead it found no consistent founding mutation, tumors with no mutations at all, and random genetic chaos everywhere. Seven hundred targeted drugs were then tested over a decade. Zero produced a year of additional survival.
Meanwhile, in 1980, researchers transplanted the mitochondria of cancerous cells into a normal cell with a perfectly healthy nucleus.
97% of the mice developed cancer.
The cause of cancer isn't found in the nucleus. It's found in the mitochondria. Otto Warburg proved this in 1927. Oncologists use the Warburg Effect to find your cancer, then tell you diet doesn't matter.
When you understand cancer as a metabolic disease, treatment looks different. And the clinical trial data on repurposed drug combinations is more compelling than anything targeted therapy has produced.
