A masterful synchronization of history and cutting-edge science
shines new light on humanity's darkest diagnosis. Over 50,000
copies sold! "Tripping over the Truth will have
profound consequences for how cancer is managed and
prevented."—Thomas N. Seyfried, author of Cancer as a
Metabolic Disease In the wake of the Cancer Genome Atlas project's
failure to provide a legible roadmap to a cure for cancer, science
writer Travis Christofferson illuminates a promising blend of old
and new perspectives on the disease. Tripping over the Truth
follows the story of cancer’s proposed metabolic origin from the
vaunted halls of the German scientific golden age to modern
laboratories around the world. The reader is taken on a journey
through time and science that results in an unlikely connecting of
the dots with profound therapeutic implications. Transporting us on
a rich narrative of humanity’s struggle to understand the
cellular events that conspire to form malignancy, Tripping over the
Truth reads like a detective novel, full of twists and cover-ups,
blind-alleys and striking moments of discovery by men and women
with uncommon vision, grit, and fortitude. Ultimately,
Christofferson arrives at a conclusion that challenges everything
we thought we knew about the disease, suggesting the reason for the
failed war against cancer stems from a flawed paradigm that
categorizes cancer as an exclusively genetic disease. For anyone
affected by this terrifying disease and the physicians who struggle
to treat it, this book provides a fresh and hopeful perspective. It
explores the new and exciting non-toxic therapies born from the
emerging metabolic theory of cancer. These therapies may one day
prove to be a turning point in the struggle against our ancient
enemy. We are shown how the metabolic theory redraws the battle
map, directing researchers to approach cancer treatment from a
different angle, framing it more like a gentle rehabilitation
rather than all-out combat. In a sharp departure from the current
“targeted” revolution occurring in cancer pharmaceuticals, the
metabolic therapies highlighted have one striking feature that sets
them apart—the potential to treat all types of cancer because
they exploit the one weakness that is common to every cancer cell:
dysfunctional metabolism. With a foreword by Dr. Dominic
D'Agostino, PhD and contributions from Thomas Seyfried, PhD, author
of Cancer as a Metabolic Disease; Miriam Kalamian, EdM, MS, CNS,
author of Keto for Cancer; and Beth Zupec Kania, consultant
nutritionist of The Charlie Foundation. "Brilliant, timely, and
expertly consolidated . . . It reads like a novel and is easy to
comprehend for everyone interested in the new conversation around
cancer and cancer care. Â I recommend it to patients, family,
friends, and colleagues and refer back to it often.”—Dr. Nasha
