255.Cancer Is Not Genetic: Mitochondria, Mold & the Metabolic Root of Disease with Alicia Hickson, PA-C

Cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, mold toxicity, parasites, and chronic illness are often treated as separate problems—but what if they all stem from the same root cause? David DeHaas, founder of Living Waters Wellness Center, sits down with Alicia Hickson, PA-C, founder of Rama Health, to explore why cancer is not primarily a genetic disease, but a metabolic and mitochondrial disorder driven by inflammation, toxins, mold exposure, parasites, blood sugar dysregulation, emotional trauma, and impaired detoxification pathways.Drawing from the groundbreaking research of Dr. Thomas Seyfried, Alicia explains how damaged mitochondria alter cellular energy production, creating an internal environment where cancer and chronic disease can thrive. This conversation challenges the conventional genetic theory of cancer and reframes healing through the lens of terrain medicine.Throughout the episode, David and Alicia connect the dots between:Mitochondrial dysfunction and cancer metabolismMold toxicity, candida, yeast, and immune system overloadParasites and chronic inflammationEmotional trauma, unforgiveness, and limbic system dysregulationConstipation, lymphatic congestion, and impaired detox pathwaysWhy genetics account for only a small percentage of disease riskWhy conventional medicine often misses root causesWhen integrative and conventional medicine work best togetherDavid shares compelling real-world cases from Living Waters Wellness Center, including parasite cleansing, colon hydrotherapy, emotional release, and rapid shifts in tumor presentation—demonstrating how healing accelerates when the body’s internal terrain is restored.Alicia also breaks down advanced clinical tools and therapies, including:Circulating tumor cell testing for cancer monitoringHormone metabolism and estrogen detox pathways (DUTCH testing)Mold and mycotoxin testing strategiesHyperthermia therapy, mistletoe therapy, and immune modulationWhy maintaining remission is just as important as treating cancerThis episode is essential listening for anyone who has been told, “There’s nothing more we can do,” and for those seeking a deeper understanding of true root-cause healing.Healing doesn’t happen by accident.It happens when you change the terrain.Learn MoreAlicia Hickson, PA-C | Rama Health: www.raymahealth.comDavid DeHaas | Living Waters Wellness Center: https://www.LivingWatersCleanse.com Thank you for tuning in to this transformative episode with Alicia Hickson, PA-C.
