About my book, Cancer and Broccoli
What causes cancer at the cellular level?
What you believe causes cancer at the cellular level shapes everything that follows from it.
The book sets out competing theories and follows them to a single conclusion: metabolic health is key.
Carbohydrates, oils and fats, and protein are each analysed in detail from a metabolic perspective.
What do we mean by metabolic health?
Much of it comes down to how efficiently the food we eat is turned into energy by tiny “power batteries”, called mitochondria.
The book presents the evidence for the metabolic theory of cancer, linking the evolution of mitochondria both to the evolution of our planet and to the cause of cancer, and links food choices to that theory and to the possibilities it opens up.
This leads us to Integrative Medicine, an area not widely known about or covered in the media.
The book explores mitochondria, which, according to Nobel prize winner Dr Warburg, are intrinsically linked to cancer. And it looks at what can be done from a practical point of view.
Why I wrote Cancer and Broccoli
I am well qualified to be the author of Cancer and Broccoli, the first book in a trilogy, as I am:
- a cancer researcher since 2005
- formerly a Lecturer with the College of Naturopathic (natural) Medicine, where I specialised in cancer support using natural means to support the immune system
- registered with the GNC as a Nutritional Therapist
- a DNA certified health practitioner
- a Functional Medicine certified Health Coach, graduated from the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy
I first became involved in cancer research in 2005, when my mother Rosie was diagnosed with cancer. I do not diagnose or treat cancer.
I have made it my life’s mission to examine cancer theories and ask what causes cancer at the cellular level. The first book in the trilogy, Cancer and Broccoli, explores food choices.
