The reader is taken on a journey through time and science that results in an unlikely connecting of the dots with profound therapeutic implications.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTransporting us on a rich narrative of humanity's struggle to understand the cellular events that conspire to form malignancy, \u003cem\u003eTripping over the Truth\u003c\/em\u003e reads like a detective novel, full of twists and cover-ups, blind-alleys and striking moments of discovery by men and women with uncommon vision, grit, and fortitude. Ultimately, Christofferson arrives at a conclusion that challenges everything we thought we knew about the disease, suggesting the reason for the failed war against cancer stems from a flawed paradigm that categorizes cancer as an exclusively genetic disease.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor anyone affected by this terrifying disease and the physicians who struggle to treat it, this book provides a fresh and hopeful perspective. It explores the new and exciting non-toxic therapies born from the emerging metabolic theory of cancer. These therapies may one day prove to be a turning point in the struggle against our ancient enemy. We are shown how the metabolic theory redraws the battle map, directing researchers to approach cancer treatment from a different angle, framing it more like a gentle rehabilitation rather than all-out combat. In a sharp departure from the current \"targeted\" revolution occurring in cancer pharmaceuticals, the metabolic therapies highlighted have one striking feature that sets them apart--the potential to treat all types of cancer because they exploit the one weakness that is common to every cancer cell: dysfunctional metabolism.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith a foreword by Dr. Dominic D'Agostino, PhD and contributions from Thomas Seyfried, PhD, author of \u003cem\u003eCancer as a Metabolic Disease\u003c\/em\u003e; Miriam Kalamian, EdM, MS, CNS, author of \u003cem\u003eKeto for Cancer\u003c\/em\u003e; and Beth Zupec Kania, consultant nutritionist of The Charlie Foundation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Chelsea Green Publishing Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781603589352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Travis Christofferson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36661544190108,"sku":"9781603589352","price":15.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_f91f3d47-0965-406f-a617-2b59671683fc.jpg?v=1603899702","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/tripping-over-the-truth-how-the-metabolic-theory-of-cancer-is-overturning-one-of-medicines-most-entrenched-paradigms-9781603589352","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
