In May of 2016 we awarded a substantial grant to Dr. Thomas Seyfried’s lab at Boston College. The grant is funding the exploration of a cocktail of metabolic therapies in a metastatic mouse model. The experiment will test the combination of the ketogenic diet, glycolytic inhibitors, oxygen therapy, glutamine inhibitors, exogenous ketones, and other metabolic […]
Single Cause Single Cure has funded a remarkable study combining oxaloacetate with various metabolic therapies. The results were so compelling that a larger and more comprehensive study was commissioned and is currently underway. We will present the results as soon as we possibly can. On another front, SCSC is in talks to fund a “dream” […]
I was recently talking to a friend of mine about the post-treatment anxiety felt by most cancer patients when their mind inevitably circles to the question: “Is my cancer still there, lingering, just waiting to come back?” My friend also happens to be a cancer researcher with a doctorate from MIT, and a cancer survivor. […]
Hello, this is Travis Christofferson the founder of SCSC. For the last year I have “gone dark” while I wrote a book about the metabolic theory of cancer. Its finished — I’ve reemerged — and its very nice to be back. It will be for sale on Amazon in about 10 days. The book explores the history, and […]
Not all scientists are created equal. We are reminded of this right now as the Nobel Prize Committee is awarding Nobel Prizes to those few who push the boundaries of science — that ephemeral edge, dividing the know from the unknown. It is worth while to remember that many of those receiving that most coveted prize, have had to […]
Once again Clifton Leaf has generated a rich, circumspect, and sobering narrative on the war against cancer. Leaf takes readers on an expansive journey — one minute your sitting with him in a cancer ward, sharing a profoundly human, and personal moment between him and his father — the next your traveling through sub-Saharan Africa with a […]
Prevention is always the best and easiest way to avoid disease. We are all aware of the lifestyle adjustments necessary to prevent heart disease and diabetes, but beyond smoking, the necessary lifestyle adjustments to prevent cancer are not always clear. Dr. Seyfried of Boston College contends a periodic fast may be the best way to […]
Researcher Adrienne C. Scheck, PhD, and her team at the Barrow Neuro-Oncology Research Laboratory in Phoenix Arizona, have uncovered some interesting qualities of the ketogenic diet. In an article titled, “Fighting Cancer with Fats,” Scheck explains how the production of reactive oxygen species (free radicals) is reduced in tumor tissue when ketone bodies are present, […]
Everyone needs to read this article. In a time when everyone agrees the rise of heath care costs are unsustainable — it seems like a good time to look at what we are getting for the outrageous price take. With respect to cancer, it turns out, not much. It seems ethical to call this what […]
A newly released article titled “News from the Front in War on Cancer – Mission Not Accomplished” from Scientific American highlights the flawed paradigm that genetic mutations are singularly responsible for the origin of cancer. The gigabits of genetic code gathered to date, rather than conclusively explain the origin of cancer, continue to confuse and […]
