Cancer is very preventive when the medical establishment acknowledges and I know about this disorder, what's causing it, and what we're not doing to prevent it or treat it, it will be recognized as the greatest tragedy in the history of medicine. Thomas C. Freed is a professor of biology, genetics, and biochemistry, who has dedicated the past 30 years gathering scientific evidence on what could be the true origin and prevention of cancer. Cancer is getting worse, and there's no major advance in reducing death rates that I can speak to the reasons for that.
All major cancer research centers, same cancer, geneticism. It's not whether you believe it's what the data tell us, and the evidence is massive to support. Cancer is a metabolic disorder. And the problem is we're doing everything we possibly can in our lifestyle, but it does it.
The scientific evidence is there. Like for example, to know that cancer was extremely rare in African tribes that were living according to the traditional ways. But when modern lifestyle entered into their societies, cancer had to control them. We ever did it to study on books.
We know that it's in the wild. Don't die from cancer. But cancer is the number one killer of domestic dogs. Why?
It's because of our lifestyle issues. And a lot of us are doing things without the knowledge that it would put us at risk. But with metabolic therapy, you can use it as both a prevention and a treatment. And we're seeing more and more of criminal cancer patients outliving their predictability because of this.
And let me tell you one thing and remember, if you do metabolic therapy, you can actually reduce risk for cancer. You can take away the fear. And when you say metabolic therapy, tell me what those things are. Number one, professor C.
Fried. If someone walks up to you on the street and they know nothing about science and they know nothing about medicine, et cetera, and they asked you, what do you do and why do you do it? How would you respond? I'm a professor of biology at Boston College.
So in that role, I spent a lot of my time working with undergraduates and graduate students and training them to be scientific literate in various aspects of biology. The research program that we have at the university is also focused on understanding how to manage cancer better, how it originates and how to prevent it. How much of a problem is cancer globally? What are the headlines statistics on the macro view of cancer for someone that really doesn't know?
Yeah, well, it's getting worse. I can't say there. It's in the millions. I know precisely what's going on in this country because the American Cancer Society every year, distributes the data on cancer.
We have almost two million new cases diagnosed per year in the United States. And we have 1,700 people a day dying from cancer in the United States, which comes to about 70 people per hour in the United States. Now, when I went to China, I looked at some numbers there and it was 8,000 people a day are dying from cancer. Obviously, the population is so much larger.
And I don't know what it is in the UK. I mean, we'd have to go to their cancer registries. But what we do know is that it's supposed to be a lot worse by 2050 than it is today. So there seems to be no reduction in deaths suffering or this disease.
And I can speak to the reasons for that. But right now, I would say it's a global epidemic of cancer. It's not getting better. It's getting worse.
More people are dying from it. There's no major advance in reducing death rates. So it's a great tragedy. And when we understand what's causing it and what we're not doing to prevent it or treat it, it'll be recognized as the singular greatest tragedy in the history of medicine worldwide.
When they come to know what I know about this disorder and then they realize what we've been doing in a misdirected way, it'll be recognized as the greatest tragedy in the history of medicine. What types of cancer are people dying from? What is the most popular types of cancer for men and women? Well, it's always been lung cancer, pretty much for men and women.
Lung cancer has always been the number one. But we have pancreatic breast cancer, colon cancer. So these are all in the rise, colon cancer is on the rise, pancreatic cancer is on the rise in this country. I can't speak for other countries.
They may vary slightly due to diet and lifestyle issues. But lung cancer has always been recognized as the number one cancer. How many people in the United States then based on the statistics would develop cancer? Well, it seems to increase every year.
So it's kind of a moving target. It doesn't seem to go down. You know, what it is today, I don't know. But what I do know is the numbers of people that are dying each day because the American Cancer Society comes out with, I think it's 612,000 people will die this year, 2024 from cancer in this year.
So divided by 365 and it comes out to just about 1,700 people a day, divide that number by 24 and you get about 70 people an hour based on the numbers provided to us from the American Cancer Society. When they say we've made major advances in cancer incidences, right? So in the 1990s, they instituted the anti-smoking campaigns. All right.
So today if you read, they say we have reduced cancer deaths by 31 or 32%. Wow, that sounds really impressive. So what they do is they take the number, this is what the National American Cancer Society has done and it's published in their papers. Okay, if we didn't stop smoking in the 90s and everybody continued to smoke, the trajectory would be very, very high.
Because we stop smoking or this, we have 33% lower death than if we didn't stop smoking. But the trajectory is continuing to increase. Maybe not as steep as it would have been had we continued to smoke. So it was clearly a prevention.
It had nothing to do with a treatment and had to do with prevention that was giving the, oh, we've made major advances in reducing cancer death rate. Yeah, because people stopped smoking. Many, many people, more people would have died had they not smoked. So we have people that are not real people.
We're just looking at what would have happened if we didn't stop smoking. What are the leading causes of death worldwide in terms of diseases? Is, I hear that heart disease is number one. I think that heart disease is number one.
Cancer is number two.
