"Sometimes the obvious answer is staring you straight in the face..."
Over the last four plus months, I have gotten to know Travis Christofferson, the author of Tripping Over The Truth. Over the last several years, he has become probably the leading documentarian of the evolution of cancer therapies. His book does not state but rather questions whether genetic anomalies are in fact the start of cancer, or are more downstream. Agree with him or not, if you look at the field of epigenetics, and the concept of nature vs. nurture across all aspects of our bodies, be it physiological or psychological, it is imperative that we, as a society, look at all theories and then test them. For those of you that follow me, you will know that my opinion, at least my current opinion, is that only using the genetic approach to treating cancer is at best inefficient. If it were me, I would want every edge I can get, and considering my long-dated gut issues, which put me in a higher cancer risk pool, I am focused on using preventive methods on myself; so even selfishly speaking, I want to know.
But what gets lost by some people who complain about the champions of metabolic theories and therapies is that the vast majority of its proponents believe in using these [metabolic] therapies as adjunctive therapies to standard of care, at least until there is sufficient evidence that genetics are irrelevant, which, by the way, none of them think.
Travis may not have his MD or PhD, but he has an encyclopedic mind, and a knack for synthesizing every bit of information on every drug, treatment, clinical trial, etc., so that he can raise the important questions. In my many years of researching all sorts of disease states and treatments, he may be the best value-adding documentarian I have come across. As important, doctors from around the world who are using metabolic therapies are having outstanding results and [almost] all of them are reporting back to Travis. Thus, for those patients or practitioners or loved ones out there who need to find additional help in their journey through the cancer world, Travis is the man to follow. His humility coupled with hard data and a desire for finding the truth should be applauded. I hope that over time the medical establishment in general will adopt some of that earnestness. When they lose their curiosity and lose sight of their limits, brilliant people cease to be brilliant. At least that is my humble opinion. And with that, here is Travis Christofferson.
