The Broken Promise: The Conventional Theory of Cancer

In the 1970s, the world received a bold promise from President Nixon: the "war on cancer" would end in ten years. This confidence was based on a new and seemingly revolutionary discovery: "oncogenes."

The theory, which became the central dogma of oncology, is deceptively simple. It posits that cancer results from errors or mutations in specific segments of our DNA (genes) that regulate cell division. A damaged "tumor suppressor" or an overactive "enabler gene" could, according to this theory, trigger uncontrolled and chaotic cell growth, leading to a tumor. The mission, therefore, was clear and straightforward: to identify these faulty genes and develop therapies to correct or neutralize them.

The House of Cards: Why the Oncogene Theory Fails

More than fifty years and trillions of dollars later, that promise seems further away than ever. Dr. Cowan exposes a brutal reality: there is not a single first-line cancer therapy based on gene correction . The three pillars of conventional treatment—surgery (removal), chemotherapy (poisoning), and radiation (burning)—are indiscriminate methods that kill cells, with no connection to genetics.

"Fifty years later, there is not a single therapy based on the oncogene theory. They spent, I would venture to say, between five and ten billion dollars and obtained nothing."

Dr. Cowan argues that genetic theory falls apart under basic scrutiny:

• The arithmetic problem of genes: The "one gene, one protein" dogma was refuted by the Human Genome Project. With only about 20,000 genes to code for more than 100,000 proteins, it is clear that the model is incorrect. The codes are simply missing.
• The physical impossibility of DNA packaging: The idea that DNA, which is enormously long, coils neatly inside a chromosome is, according to practical demonstrations, physically implausible. It's like trying to fit kilometers of thread into a thimble; it simply won't fit. This calls into question our fundamental understanding of chromosome structure.
• Chromosomal abnormality as an effect, not a cause: Pathologists diagnose cancer by observing the appearance of chromosomes. Cells with disordered and incorrectly numbered chromosomes (aneuploidy) are considered cancerous. However, Dr. Cowan argues that this is not the cause, but the consequence. It is the result of a disease process that has wrecked the cellular machinery. "It's like blowing up a building and blaming the broken chairs for the explosion," he explains.

The Ignored Experiment: The Cytoplasm Holds the Key

The most compelling evidence that dismantles the genetic theory and that has been systematically ignored by the mainstream comes from a series of elegant nuclear transfer experiments conducted decades ago.

• When scientists take the nucleus of a cancer cell (which contains all the genetic material and the supposedly defective oncogenes) and implant it into a healthy cytoplasm (the watery part of the cell), the new cell is completely healthy and does not produce cancer.
• Conversely, when they take the nucleus of a healthy cell and place it in a cancerous cytoplasm , the resulting cell and its offspring are cancerous .

The implication is profound and inescapable: the location of the error that causes cancer is not in the genes of the nucleus, but in the environment of the cytoplasm .

A Paradigm Shift: Cancer as an Intelligent Response of the Body

If cancer isn't a genetic error, what is it? Dr. Cowan proposes a radical view: every action the body takes, even those we call "disease," is an attempt to heal and survive. Cancer, from this perspective, is not a suicidal attack, but a containment strategy.

Imagine your body as a house. We continually introduce "garbage": processed foods, polluted air, chlorinated and fluoridated water, pesticides, heavy metals, pharmaceuticals, vaccines, and even toxic thoughts and emotions. Initially, the body eliminates this garbage. But when the load becomes excessive, the elimination system is overwhelmed.

"The body says: I'm going to put this in a bag to keep it out of general circulation. We call that a tumor. It's a garbage bag so at least it's not all over the place."

In its wisdom, the body begins to package these toxins in the cytoplasm of cells, creating a localized "dump"—a tumor—to protect the rest of the organism from systemic toxicity that would be fatal. The tumor is a solution, not the original problem.

Redefining Metastasis: It's Not a Journey, It's an Overflow

This new understanding transforms our view of metastasis. Conventional theory describes a process in which malignant cells escape from the original tumor, travel through the bloodstream, and colonize new organs. However, Dr. Cowan points out that evidence for these "circulating tumor cells" is, at best, scant and controversial.

His explanation, following the house analogy, is much simpler and more logical. Metastasis occurs when the first dump (the original tumor in the breast, for example) becomes completely full. With the continuous influx of waste, the body is forced to find a new place to store it. It looks for another tissue or organ, often one with an already compromised energy flow (such as the liver or bones), and begins to create a new dump there. It's not cells that travel; it's the problem of toxicity that spreads.

It is revealing that the heart, the organ with the most powerful electromagnetic field and the greatest energy flow, is virtually immune to cancer and metastasis. The body, in its infinite intelligence, protects it as the sanctuary it is.

The Secret of Life: Electrical Charge, Structured Water, and the Origin of Tumors

To understand why a tumor forms, we must delve into the level of the cytoplasm and the biophysics of water. The health of a tissue depends on its cells maintaining a negative electrical charge on their exterior, which causes them to repel each other and maintain their organization. This charge is generated by a higher concentration of potassium inside the cell and sodium outside.

Dr. Cowan, following the work of scientists like Gilbert Ling, argues that this ionic distribution is not due to a mythical "sodium-potassium pump," but rather to the properties of water itself. The water inside a healthy cell is not liquid H₂O, but a coherent, structured gel . This network of water, similar to a three-dimensional mesh, is the perfect size to attract and retain potassium ions, while excluding the larger sodium ions.

"As long as you have clear, structured, and healthy water in your cytoplasm, you will maintain this distribution of sodium and potassium. You will have a charge and you will be healthy. If you impair the structure of the water, you cannot retain potassium, you lose the charge, and then you have a tumor."

Toxins—the "garbage"—act as disruptors of this delicate gel structure. By damaging the water network, it loses its ability to retain potassium. The ions become unbalanced, the electrical charge dissipates, and the cells become "sticky," losing their natural repulsion and beginning to clump together in a disorganized fashion. This is the physical birth of a tumor.

Clearing the Ground: Practical Strategies for Cancer Prevention and Control

If the problem is a toxic "terrain" (cytoplasm) with unstructured water, the logical solution is twofold: stop contaminating the terrain and start deep cleaning processes .

Diet as a Cleansing Tool: Keto, Carnivore, and Vegan

Why do such different diets seem to work? Because they all, in their own way, address the problem of toxicity.

• Ketogenic and carnivore diets: These diets are effective not only because they restrict sugar, but also because they are inherently low in deuterium , a key toxin discussed below. Fats, due to their molecular structure, contain very little deuterium.
• Vegan or raw food diets: Dr. Cowan describes them as a form of "cleansing." By eliminating heavy, processed foods and focusing on nutrient-rich plants and water, the overall toxic load is drastically reduced, allowing the body to detoxify.

The Water We Drink: The Hidden Poison of Deuterium

One of the most profound and least known toxins is deuterium , a heavy isotope of hydrogen. Unlike ordinary hydrogen (one proton, one electron), deuterium also has one neutron, making it twice as heavy. Water containing deuterium ("heavy water") is harmful to biological systems because its extra weight interferes with delicate cellular processes and prevents the formation of a healthy, structured water network in the cytoplasm.

Reducing the body's deuterium load is a fundamental therapeutic strategy. This is achieved through:

1. A diet low in carbohydrates and high in healthy fats.
2. Drinking Deuterium-Depleted Water (DDW) , which has been processed to remove this heavy isotope, can help. Studies have shown that adding DDW to treatment can double or triple survival times for certain types of cancer. You can make this water at home; contact us for more information.

An Arsenal of Coherent Natural Therapies

All effective natural therapies share the same logic: they help to mobilize and eliminate "waste" and restore the body's energy and structure.

Prolonged Fasting: The Ultimate "Reboot"

Water-only fasting for extended periods is perhaps the most powerful cleansing tool available. It forces the body into a state of autophagy, where it actively digests and recycles damaged cells and proteins, stored toxins, and tumor tissue. It's a metabolic "reset" and a profound journey of emotional healing.

The Healing Power of Fever: Coley and Mistletoe Toxins

Fever is the body's natural way of "melting" congested cytoplasmic gel. By raising the temperature, the water becomes more fluid, allowing trapped toxins to be released and eliminated. Therapies like Coley's Toxins (which induced high fevers with bacteria) achieved astonishing cure rates in terminal cancers. Mistletoe works similarly, creating a localized inflammatory and feverish reaction that stimulates the body to cleanse itself.

Restoring Cellular Charge: The Gerson Protocol and Quinton Plasma

The Gerson Protocol focuses directly on restoring cellular water structure by re-establishing the sodium-potassium balance. It does this through a high-potassium (fresh juices) and low-sodium diet, combined with coffee enemas to accelerate liver detoxification. Similarly, Quinton Plasma , extracted from ocean vortices, provides the body with the full spectrum of minerals and electrolytes in a perfectly bioavailable form, essential for creating and maintaining cellular electrical charge.

Digestion and Elimination: The Gonzalez Protocol

This protocol uses massive doses of pancreatic enzymes, based on the theory that they help "digest" the protein coating of cancer cells and toxic waste. This internal "digestion" is combined with aggressive detoxification, primarily through coffee enemas, to eliminate the mobilized waste.

Nature's Wisdom: Mushrooms and Herbs like Chaga and Turmeric

Nature offers powerful tools. The chaga mushroom , a black growth on birch trees, contains betulinic acid, which has been shown to have a specific affinity for destroying melanoma cells. Burdock is a traditional blood purifier, and turmeric powerfully stimulates bile flow, the body's primary pathway for excreting fat-soluble toxins.

The Illusion of Early Detection: The Danger of Cancer Screening

The idea that "early detection saves lives" is a cornerstone of modern oncology. However, Dr. Cowan, citing epidemiologist Gilbert Welch, argues that cancer screening in healthy individuals (mammograms, colonoscopies, PSA tests) is a harmful practice.

The main reason is overdiagnosis . These tests are so sensitive that they detect cellular abnormalities that would never have progressed into a dangerous clinical disease. However, once diagnosed, they are treated aggressively. The result is that healthy people are turned into cancer patients, suffering the toxic effects of treatments they never needed. Screening has not been shown to prolong life or improve its quality; it simply brings forward the time of diagnosis, creating the illusion of greater survival while subjecting the patient to additional years of fear and treatment.

The "War on Cancer": Scientific Failure or Economic Success?

If the theory is incorrect and the treatments are so ineffective, why does the system persist? Dr. Cowan suggests that the "war on cancer" has been a scientific failure but a resounding economic and social control success.

The system perpetuates itself through a cycle of fear, misguided research, and economic dependence. Researchers, even well-intentioned ones, are trapped in a paradigm upon which their careers and funding depend. Questioning genetic dogma is professional suicide. Meanwhile, the fear of cancer drives people toward a system that profits enormously from expensive and ineffective diagnoses and treatments.
