1931 Discovery

In 1931 Otto Warburg won the Nobel Prize for discovering that cancer could not live in a highly oxygenated body. Basically cancer hates oxygen. So how do we drive oxygen out of our bodies? This is how Dr. Brantley outlines it in The Cure:
  1. Incomplete metabolism of sugar created fermentation.
  2. Fermentation forced oxygen out of the cell, causing cellular asphyxiation.
  3. Cellular asphyxiation led to havoc and death at a cellular level.
  4. Oxygen starvation at the cellular level created a fertile ground for cancer to grow.
So what foods are we unable to completely metabolize ... for one refined grains.

Brantley summarizes as "When a person eats too many refined grains or sugars that are not completely metabolized (used) in the cell, fermentation occurs, creating an anaerobic environment, forcing oxygen out. And when there is a lack of oxygen, it enables cancer to grow. Always remember, highly refined sugars and cooked meats contribute to creating an acidic environment, which forces oxygen out, leaving behind it an unbalanced environment, a virtual breeding ground for cancer and most other kinds of diseases."

Now how does this apply to my family ... that is the question?
