What if everything we thought we knew about cancer was wrong? For decades, scientists have debated what really causes cancer. Is it genetic mutations, as the Somatic Mutation Theory suggests? Is it a metabolic dysfunction, as the Metabolic Theory argues? Or is there a deeper, overlooked truth—one that could redefine cancer treatment as we know it? In this episode, Dr. Ralph Moss and Ben Moss break down the battle between competing cancer theories, why conventional wisdom is being challenged, and what the latest research is uncovering about cancer stem cells, metabolism, and the Warburg Effect. 🔥 Are we on the verge of a breakthrough—or have we been on the wrong path all along? 📌 Subscribe for more in-depth discussions on cancer research and integrative medicine. 🔬 Resources & Further Reading: 📖 The Moss Method: Fight Cancer Naturally – Dr. Ralph Moss’s groundbreaking guide to integrative cancer care.  🔗 Buy on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3XVn9ra 🧬 “To Fight Cancer, Know the Enemy” – A thought-provoking article by James D.

While early studies indicate that ivermectin has potential anticancer properties, more clinical trials are needed to establish its safety and efficacy in humans. Patients interested in alternative treatments should always consult with their healthcare provider before considering off-label uses.

In this pivotal episode, Dr. Moss and his son, Ben, shed light on new insights into Vitamin D's role in cancer prevention, based on data from a study published in 2019. While the original research concluded that Vitamin D had no significant impact on cancer incidence, a meticulous reevaluation of the same data has revealed something crucial: Body Mass Index (BMI) plays a significant role in the effectiveness of Vitamin D supplementation for cancer prevention. Specifically, those with a 'normal' BMI showed a significant reduction in the incidence of advanced and metastatic cancers. Dr. Moss and Ben explore why these game-changing results haven't received the media attention they deserve and what this could mean for natural cancer prevention strategies.
