We look forward to meeting you at P.H.C conference this year x

You are clearly working on something great. I have no doubt about it and include you in the small group of scientists I trust, whose findings are valuable to me. But why, in heaven’s name, are you not making your research accessible to those of us who are 'biochemistry illiterate'? I’ve tried reading your book Cancer as a Metabolic Disease, but it wasn’t meant for people like me—it’s overwhelming due to the sheer volume of technical terminology. Surely, you’re familiar with The Hidden Story of Cancer, where B.S. Peskin and A. Habib did a brilliant job of breaking things down for us cancer patients. They managed to introduce non-scientists to the biochemical mechanisms behind cancer—what drives it, why it develops, and what can be done to prevent or combat it. I’m still extraordinarily grateful to @cancerclasses, who pointed me to this book in a comment conversation. Professor @tnseyfried, your research seems to align with B. Peskin’s in recognizing that “cancer research has become an end in itself instead of a means to a cure.” Both of you also base your work on the findings of Otto Warburg, so you seem to agree on the foundational principles. So why not have someone from your team write a book that makes your findings accessible to people like me? Not just for your scientific colleagues and bio-nerds, but for those of us battling this disease—especially when, even in 2025, oncologists are still blindly following the 'gold standard' treatments while ignoring the metabolic component in healing.

Thank you Derek! So great to see the next generation continuing Dr Seyfreids incredible work.

Dr. Seyfried, I find it strange when there are publications like this on mechanisms for why these sharks live so long without tumors. Could it be that the DNA repair is actually helping to repair damaged mtDNA?

May I ask what is your view on the use of Ivermectin, to treat basal cell carcinoma, Sir?
