Sorry for your loss and appreciate your focus on the benefits this could bring to others even though it won’t change yours. You are doing well at this being a human thing :)
Cancer prevention is like bug correction in programming. So many different ways to screw up the same thing in a very similar way, but it all takes different fixes.
Many times it's an infinite self-referential feedback loop. Sometimes a growth hormone receptor gene is damaged so only the part that signals for cell growth works, while the regulatory segment that should only activate in the presence of the hormone is missing. And so it constantly simulates the cell to grow. Later, one of those growing cells sustains some other damage that brings more cancerous characteristics, and without the ability to stop replication it won't just die from the damage.
But DNA damage would be more like an error in the code. Unless a gene gets methylated that would be like an error in the value in RAM. Overflow be be something that normally is correct, but it does to much and then gets wrong. Like auto immune stuff.
We are already doing it and have been for decades. Look up computational systems biology and its applications in cancer biology research, clinical oncology, and drug discovery and development if you want yo read more.
It’s actually the Warburg hypothesis that directly posits this, the Warburg effect is an observable phenomenon, potentially caused by the hypothesized mitochondrial dysfunction.
I'm convinced it is. In addition, it thrives in hypoxic environments and cancer patients very often have low vitamin d levels. Therefore, getting those levels up naturally with exposure to the sun when your shadow is shorter than you are and introducing oxygen with HBOT are important steps to take IMHO.
Then what you can do is write to your representatives if you are American. As a scientist, I can tell you the current funding from the Trump administration is absolutely brutal and indeed setting science back. Additionally, the concept that vaccines are bad further hinders progress, including for unrelated diseases due to this lack of funding. Write to them and tell them you demand more support for basic research. Please.
I hate to say it, but with all the laws this administration breaks and the loopholes they skirt, you could write to every representative in the country and it won’t make any difference. They weaponize science to control their dimwitted base, so I wouldn’t hold my breath praying for any representation in the near future.
I completely agree and I wish I could say you're wrong! But maybe it's just for my own satisfaction to know that regardless of whether the world burns or not, at least I didn't sit idly by. I also had to turn in a boss who was falsifying data and they did nothing. It was a hard and stressful process but at least I can look my kids in the face and tell them I did my best.
It says they are researching this in mouse models. Its not ready for human testing yet. They have to follow rules for this kind if thing, they cant just use humans as guinea pigs even if the patient wants it
Water fasting combined with strict keto. Tumors trive on glucose, so starve the cancer cells of glucose and the tumor shrinks. I'm not a doctor and this is not medical advice. I've read a bunch stories of people who healed cancer this way.
Ubiquinol (the bio available CoQ10) has been very helpful as part of my PEM (post exertion malaise) symptoms that come with chronic fatigue/long COVID.
So I think if you have healthy mitochondria and they’re getting enough of what they need to function it might not change much, but if you’re lagging you can try it and see if it helps.
This is extremely promising - I hope the treatment will yield the same result in humans (and hopefully, that treatment could be expanded to treat other forms of cancers)
Is there any actual evidence what they are doing reduces inflammation to a degree that would prevent or stop cancer? Your body is full of mitochondria taking a supplement is not a cure all. On top of that no one should be injecting their organs with peptides.
Moreover i wonder if someone did use red light therapy and already had a kind of cancer, if it wouldn't HELP the cancer grow more, not less -- if it could even reach that far which it couldn't. People seem to think you can just down an antioxidant and that it will magically do what they need it to while bypassing the cancer, but really, cancer is able to feed on the exact substances we use to prevent cancer. Once you already have a cancer growing, who knows, maybe the preventative substances end up being MORE harmful not less. Does this make any sense?
This brings up an interesting possibility, maybe a minimally invasive procedure and a way to use red light therapy internally. If it works at all. 🤷🏽♂️

Do all cancers have damaged mitochondria?

I believe so, yes.
But it appears that pancreatic cancer specifically needs this inflammation to survive. I don't believe that's true with all cancers though.
I am no expert in this and may be wrong, I admit.

Yup. That's what I meant by "overflow error" where a program keeps a number so large that it uses up all available memory and crashes.

Aah! Thanks . I didn't get the significance of the mechanism fully, but that analogy is really useful.
