“*A carcinogen is a substance, organism or agent capable of causing cancer*”.
“*Cancer* is *a disease in which some of the body’s cells grow uncontrollably and spread to other parts of the body*”.
How does something like alcohol or tobacco cause cancer?
In: Biology
It has nothing to do with DNA. genetic theory of cancer is dead, it’s metabolic. Cancer is basically extreme diabetes. Anything can cause cancer by knocking out a cells ability to burn sugar. Any kind of chronic stress on a cell can do it, as well as nutritional deficiencies (can’t burn sugar without enough B vitamins, for instance). The efficient burning of sugar is broken somehow, and so the cells switch to burning fat, leaving the sugars to ferment (an inefficient way of burning sugar). This is a self propelling process but it can be reversed.
Even more basic explanation: The cell is wounded and is trying to heal. Keep wounding your cells and this can happen, especially if the insults chronically add up. You have two engines for making energy from sugars and fats, a clean burning fusion engine that can burn sugar and fats (mitochondria), and an ancient dirty coal engine than can burn sugar (fermenting). If the fusion engine is broken, you use the coal engine, and it pollutes the cells with fumes (lactate). This pollution is itself a stress. If you clear the lactate and restore the mitochondria, the cells can heal or simply die off.
Georgi Dinkov explains this in more detail, and how he’s curing cancer (in mice) with aspirin and B vitamins: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXq4S2Dx_b8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXq4S2Dx_b8)
