Winning the fight against cancer - Jim Collins story

When a routine medical check becomes a life-or-death wake-up call, one family's unconventional approach to pancreatic cancer challenges everything we think we know about treatment.

In May 2024, Jim Collins discovered more than just a kidney tumor during what should have been a simple bladder check. Surgery to remove the tumor led to a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. Jim refused chemotherapy and his son assembled a dedicated team including Keith Tenhundfeld and assistance from Professor Seyfried to tackle the metabolic approach to cancer. The focus? Starving cancer by reducing glucose, since cancer feeds on sugar. Eighteen months into this journey, the cancer is disappearing and even Jim's oncologist supports the non-conventional metabloic approach.

Key Takeaways:

• Cancer feeds on glucose
  • Dr. Seyfried's research suggests cancer thrives in high-sugar, inflammatory environments rather than being an inevitable genetic fate, challenging the conventional oncology narrative.
• Hyperbaric oxygen therapy showed measurable benefits
  • Installing hyperbaric chambers to force oxygen into the body reportedly helped starve cancer cells and dramatically improved breathing and overall vitality in these cases.
• Low-dose chemotherapy microdosing combined with holistic protocols produced better outcomes than full-dose chemo
  • Patients tolerated this integrated approach with minimal side effects while achieving cancer-free status or remission within just a few months.

Discussion of Cancer as a Metabolic Disease

Cancer might not be the genetic death sentence we've been told it is. Keith Tenhundfeld, Jimbo Collins, and George Brunemann unpack Dr. Thomas Seyfried's research revealing cancer as a metabolic disease—one that thrives on sugar and inflammatory states but can be starved through strategic dietary changes.

The foundation lies in mitochondrial health. Our mitochondria evolved to burn ketones from fats and proteins, not the refined carbohydrates flooding modern diets. By reducing sugar intake, incorporating resistance training (especially for those crucial quadriceps), and utilizing simple therapies like heat exposure, people can restore cellular function and combat chronic diseases from diabetes to dementia to cancer itself.

The core message emphasizes personal responsibility: move regularly, reduce carbohydrates, hydrate. (No doctor's visit required to start.) This isn't about expensive interventions but discipline and education about how dietary choices directly impact health outcomes.

Key Takeaways:

• Cancer may be primarily a metabolic disease, not a genetic one
  • Dr. Seyfried's research suggests cancer thrives in high-sugar, inflammatory environments rather than being an inevitable genetic fate, challenging the conventional oncology narrative.
• Human mitochondria are optimized for ketones, not carbohydrates.
  • Our cellular energy factories evolved to burn ketones, meaning modern refined carbohydrate diets represent a fundamental mismatch with our biology that fuels chronic disease.
• Lifestyle interventions (diet, fasting, heat exposure) may rival or exceed conventional medical treatments.
  • Personal discipline around metabolic health could prevent and potentially reverse cancer more effectively than expensive pharmaceutical interventions, according to this perspective.

Dr. Thomas Seyfried on Cancer as a Metabolic Disease: Rethinking Treatment Through Ketogenic Therapy

What if everything we thought we knew about cancer was fundamentally wrong? Dr. Thomas Seyfried's unexpected journey from epilepsy research to cancer metabolism reveals a startling possibility—that cancer might be a metabolic disease rather than a genetic one.

Dr. Thomas Seyfried, a geneticist and pioneer in metabolic cancer research, challenging conventional oncology with groundbreaking evidence that cancer is fundamentally a mitochondrial metabolic disorder, not a genetic disease.

Dr. Seyfried reveals how dysfunctional mitochondria force cancer cells into ancient fermentation pathways, making them dependent on glucose and glutamine while starving them of oxygen-based energy. His research demonstrates that nutritional ketosis—lowering blood glucose while increasing ketone bodies—can selectively restrict tumor growth without harming healthy cells.

Key Takeaways:

• Cancer may be primarily a metabolic disease, not a genetic one
  • Seyfried's research challenges the dominant genetic theory of cancer, suggesting dysfunctional mitochondria and altered metabolism are the root cause rather than genetic mutations.
• Ancestral diet patterns hold modern cancer solutions
  • Ketosis and paleolithic-style metabolism may be therapeutic tools for cancer because they starve tumors of their preferred fuel (glucose) while keeping healthy cells intact.

Key Takeaways:

• Cancer may be primarily a mitochondrial energy dysfunction rather than a genetic disease, meaning dietary intervention targeting cellular energy production could be more effective than traditional genetic-focused treatments.
• Intermittent and extended fasting trigger autophagy—a cellular "cleanup" process that eliminates dysfunctional cells, offering a potential preventive mechanism against cancer and other diseases without pharmaceutical intervention.
• Modern processed foods are fundamentally incompatible with human mitochondria evolved over millennia, causing metabolic dysfunction that can be reversed through ketogenic diets and fasting rather than requiring lifelong medical management.
