Our understanding of cancer is slowly undergoing a revolution,
allowing for the development of more effective treatments. For the
first time ever, the death rate from cancer is showing a steady
decline ... but the 'War on Cancer' has hardly been won. In The
Cancer Code, Dr Jason Fung offers a revolutionary new understanding
of this invasive, often fatal disease - what it is, how it
manifests and why it is so challenging to treat. In this rousing
narrative, Dr Fung identifies the medical community's many missteps
in cancer research - in particular, its focus on genetics, or what
he terms the 'seed' of cancer, at the expense of examining the
'soil,' or the conditions under which cancer flourishes. Dr Fung -
whose ground-breaking work in the treatment of obesity and diabetes
has won him international acclaim - suggests that the primary
disease pathway of cancer is caused by the dysregulation of
insulin. In fact, obesity and type 2 diabetes significantly
increase an individual's risk of cancer. In this accessible read,
Dr Fung provides a new paradigm for dealing with cancer, with
recommendations for what we can do to create a hostile soil for
this dangerous seed. One such strategy is intermittent fasting,
which reduces blood glucose, lowering insulin levels. Another,
eliminating intake of insulin-stimulating foods, such as sugar and
refined carbohydrates. For hundreds of years, cancer has been
portrayed as a foreign invader we've been powerless to stop. By
reshaping our view of cancer as an internal uprising of our own
healthy cells, we can begin to take back control. The seed of
cancer may exist in all of us, but the power to change the soil is
in our hands.
