What can people do to support healthy cells and starve cancer cells? Recent research shows that healthy mitochondria not only provide energy, but also shut cells down when they malfunction, including cancer cells. Further, cancer cells rely heavily on sugar fermentation instead of mitochondrial metabolism for energy. Merlin Marquard learned this and more when he put his molecular biotech training to use for research, following his father’s cancer diagnosis. Merlin’s dad lives on today (praise God) based on a host of lifestyle and eating changes based on these principles. Now Merlin and his brother Cedric have founded a website and online community to educate others about the workings of cancer, what simple practices have great effect in cancer recovery, and how people can support each other. This episode delves deep into the biochemistry science of health and cancer, but also has a light-hearted magic as Merlin and Ramsey discuss the hope and promise of this family tale.
