These 6 Habits May Help 'Reverse Cancer', Claims US Expert After 30 Years Of Research
According to Dr Seyfried, these steps aren't a substitute for treatment but may aid the body alongside therapy by creating an internal environment where cancer struggles to survive
US-based biology professor Dr. Thomas Seyfried has claimed that cancer may be reversible through certain lifestyle and dietary interventions. His assertions present a controversial and unconventional perspective on the disease.
Dr. Seyfried, who has spent nearly three decades studying cancer, argues that the growth of cancer cells can be influenced by relatively simple changes to daily habits. He maintains that these approaches are not intended as replacements for medical treatments but could be considered complementary.
A report by The Economic Times quotes Dr. Seyfried as suggesting that cancer should be viewed not only as a genetic condition but also as a metabolic disorder. His research claims that cancer cells rely heavily on glucose for survival, and therefore, strategies that limit glucose availability might help control their growth.
He further asserts that changes to diet and lifestyle could create an internal environment that is less conducive to cancer cell proliferation. According to him, these changes might also reduce the risk of cancer in otherwise healthy individuals.
Dr. Seyfried has reiterated that these lifestyle measures are not cures or alternatives to established medical treatments. He advises that any such changes should be made in consultation with qualified healthcare professionals.
His views have sparked interest and debate, especially regarding the idea that daily habits—such as managing stress, staying active, and maintaining a specific diet—could play a role in the body's resistance to cancer. However, medical experts caution that such claims should be approached with critical scrutiny and evaluated within the broader context of peer-reviewed scientific research.
