Dr. Thomas Lodi: BRCA Gene and Epigenetics

BRCA Gene and Epigenetics

There has been a major debate between modern and traditional medicine.

Chicken or egg…which one produces the other? Mind or behavior…does the mind determine behavior, or is it a consequence of behavior?

Epigenetics or Genetics…which one determines genetic expression? The original program of the DNA or the environment in which the genes exists?

As most people know, Angelina Jolie had both of her breasts surgically removed even though there was absolutely no sign of breast cancer in either breast at that time. She already planned to have both of her healthy ovaries removed, as soon as she has recovered sufficiently from the first surgery.

Clearly, those promoting the genetic side of the argument have been more convincing than those promoting the epigenetic perspective.

I wrote an article that has been published on Natural Health News website and it goes in depth on this topic.

You will learn about:

• what BRCA genes are
• normal cellular functioning
• what happens when the environment is toxic
• what is Cancer and much more…

Dr. Thomas Lodi: Critical Questions You Must Ask Your Oncologist

Dr. Thomas Lodi: 

Critical Questions You Must Ask Your Oncologist

Cancer is never localized…it’s never in one spot…even when it is undetectable, there are multiple micro metastases (satellite ‘seeds’).

Once a cluster of tumor cells reaches 1 million in number, it begins to travel through the extra-cellular matrix and connective tissue into lymph and blood vessels so that by the time it is detectable, at around 1 billion cells, it has been doing that for at least 1 or 2 years.

So, even if the conventional approach with surgery, chemotherapy and radiation is successful and actually gets rid of the primary detectable tumor or tumors, this type of military assault has no effect on cancer stem cells, which can repopulate previous tumor sites and find new fertile ground.

So you must ask some critical questions of your oncologist:

• If you successfully eliminate all of my detectable tumors, then what?

• What is likely to happen?

• How do I successfully prevent recurrence?

• Is there any chance that the approach you are suggesting, may increase the likelihood of recurrence?

• Does surgery ever spread cancer cells?

• What effect does general anesthesia have on my immune system and liver?

• How often does radiation cause significant problems and dysfunction?

• What area of integrative oncology have you studied adequately in order to give me valid options regarding an alternative to the approach you are suggesting?
