Understanding Copper's Dual Role in Our Bodies and Its Link to Cancer

Written by Keith Bishop, Clinical Nutritionist, Cancer Coach, and Retired Pharmacist

The Benefits and Needs of Copper:

Copper is essential in the human body. Copper is a vital trace mineral necessary for survival. It plays a crucial role in forming red blood cells, maintaining nerve cells, and supporting the immune system. It also aids in the absorption of iron and the development of healthy connective tissue. However, like many things, balance is key.

Copper is essential for cardiovascular health, bone strength, and aiding antioxidant defenses. Copper is integral in various enzymatic reactions and energy production within mitochondria.

High Levels of Copper and Cancer Risk:

Excessive copper can lead to oxidative stress and DNA damage, potentially increasing the risk of cancer development. Copper plays a significant role in this process due to its involvement in redox reactions, which are chemical reactions that...

Sauerkraut, a traditional fermented cabbage dish, contains lactic acid bacteria and cabbage compounds that can help prevent cancer by promoting detoxification, reducing inflammation, and enhancing the immune system.

Sauerkraut is extremely low in carbohydrates, so it is Kancer Keto Approved!

However, it’s essential to enjoy sauerkraut in moderate amounts due to its high salt content, which has been associated with an increased risk of laryngeal, esophageal and stomach cancers. To reap the benefits without overdoing it, add a tablespoon or two to your meals a few times a week. My preference is sauerkraut in a jar to reduce exposure to estrogenic plastic exposure.

Processed food’s carbohydrates and fats increase your body’s production of cancerous Methylglyoxal.

Written by Keith Bishop, Clinical Nutritionist, Cancer Coach, and Retired Pharmacist

Processed foods are a staple in many diets but have hidden dangers that could significantly impact your health. One such danger is methylglyoxal, a by-product of glucose metabolism. Recent research has uncovered a concerning link between methylglyoxal and an increased risk of cancer.

What is Methylglyoxal?

Methylglyoxal is produced when our cells break glucose down to release energy. While it's a natural by-product, excessive levels can be harmful. Diets high in processed foods, often rich in carbohydrates and unhealthy fats, can lead to increased methylglyoxal production.

The Cancer Connection Studies have shown that high levels of methylglyoxal can inhibit genes that protect against cancer, such as BRCA2. This inhibition can damage DNA and increase the likelihood of...

Learn about cancer's use of L-Glutamine and how certain herbs can decrease its availability. 

Written by Keith Bishop, Clinical Nutritionist, Cancer Coach, and Retired Pharmacist. 

Cancer cells are notorious for their rapid growth and proliferation. They rely heavily on specific nutrients, particularly L-glutamine and glucose, to sustain this. These cells undergo metabolic reprogramming, consuming large amounts of glutamine to produce amino acids, nucleotides, and fatty acids essential for survival and growth.[i] This phenomenon, often referred to as "glutamine addiction," makes glutamine metabolism a critical target for cancer therapy.[ii]

Researchers are exploring various strategies to exploit this dependency. By targeting glutamine transporters and enzymes involved in its metabolism, they aim to disrupt the supply of this vital nutrient to cancer cells, thereby inhibiting their growth and inducing cell death.[iii] This approach holds promise for developing new cancer...
