Code cancer

International bestselling author of Diabetes Code and Obesity Code, Dr. Jason Fung is back with a groundbreaking new book on cancer.

Our understanding of cancer is slowly changing, allowing for the development of more effective therapies. For the first time in history, the death rate from the disease is steadily decreasing, but the war against cancer is far from won.

In Cancer Code, Dr. Jason Fung offers a new understanding of this invasive and often fatal disease: what it is, how it manifests, and what makes it so difficult to treat. Considers; that the medical community is making a huge mistake by focusing on genetics – or that; which he calls the "seed" of cancer - at the expense of studying the "soil" - or the conditions in which cancer thrives. According to Dr. Fung, whose groundbreaking work in the treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes has earned him international acclaim, the primary disease pathway of cancer is caused by impaired insulin production. In fact, obesity and type 2 diabetes significantly increase the risk of developing cancer.

For centuries, cancer has been portrayed as a foreign invader that we are powerless to stop. In this accessible read, Dr. Fung provides a new paradigm for dealing with disease by creating an unfavorable soil for this dangerous seed. By changing our thinking about cancer as an internal rebellion of our own healthy cells, we can begin to take back control. The seed of cancer may exist in all of us, but the power to change the soil is in our own hands.
