Inflammation is the Cause of Cancer in Young and Older Adults
Cancer Incidence in Youth:
- Dr. Nemechek notes an alarming trend of increasing cancer rates in younger adults, prompting earlier screening recommendations for diseases like colon and breast cancer.
Unified Cause of Cancer - Inflammation:
- He argues that various known cancer risk factors, including lifestyle and environmental elements, are all sources of inflammation, which he posits as a central cause of cancer.
Mechanism of Inflammation in Cancer:
- Inflammation is believed to suppress the immune system, allowing dormant cancer cells to grow and become aggressive, while also diminishing the effectiveness of chemotherapy.
Nemechekβs Protocol - Combating Inflammation:
- Dietary Changes: Replace harmful vegetable oils with olive oil, which blocks inflammation.
- Omega-3 Supplementation: Increase intake of Omega-3 Fatty Acids through high-quality fish oil to reduce inflammation.
- Gut Health: Address bacterial overgrowth in the gut, such as Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) , which can contribute to inflammation.
Broader Impact of Inflammation:
- Beyond cancer, inflammation is implicated in earlier onset of diabetes, heart disease, autoimmune disorders, and neurological issues, underscoring the need for a proactive approach against inflammation for overall health.
Dr. Nemechek urges not to overlook inflammation as the potential early cause of various health problems, including cancer, and emphasizes the importance of addressing it through lifestyle and dietary adjustments.
