Contra el cáncer / Fat for Fuel: A Revolutionary Diet to Combat Cancer, Boost Brain Power, and Increase Your Energy

Durante muchos años hemos aceptado que el cáncer es causado por malformaciones genéticas y daños en los cromosomas. Pero, ¿y si el cáncer, después de todo, no fuera una enfermedad genética?¿Y si supieras que, en realidad, es causado por un desbalance metabólico producto de una disfunción mitocondrial? En este libro paradigmático, el primero en su tipo, el doctor Joseph Mercola nos explica por qué casi todas las enfermedades son causadas por procesos metabólicos disfuncionales. Con él comprenderás, de manera fácil y accesible, cómo funciona el cuerpo humano a nivel molecular y aprenderás a seguir un plan de alimentación cetogénica: una dieta baja en carbohidratos y alta en grasas saludables para optimizar los procesos bioquímicos que suprimen la enfermedad y promueven la curación.Contra el cáncer, bestseller instantáneo en Estados Unidos, es ya el libro más vendido del gurú en el campo de la medicina natural: ¿qué esperas para sumarte a los miles de lectores que gracias a él han cambiado su vida? Otros títulos en el descubrimiento científico de la década: la clave para prevenir y tratar el cancer está en la mitocondria.El doctor Mercola ha sido una fuente de inspiración y sabiduría médica por décadas. Este libro es una obra maestra que transforma los descubrimientos científicos de vanguardia en información accesible para todos. - Christiane Northrup, autora de La sabiduría de la menopausiaENGLISH DESCRIPTIONFor over a century, we've accepted the scientific consensus that cancer results from genetic disease due to chromosomal damage in cell nuclei. But what if cancer isn't a genetic disease after all? What if scientists are chasing a flawed paradigm, and cancer isn't a disease of damaged DNA but rather of defective metabolism as a result of mitochondrial dysfunction? What if that startling truth could revolutionize our understanding of other diseases as well-and show us a radical new path to optimal health?In this groundbreaking guide, the first of its kind, New York Times best-selling author and leading natural-health practitioner Joseph Mercola explains how nearly all disease is caused by defective metabolic processes. Then he reveals what's really causing your metabolism to go haywire: damage and dysfunction in the mitochondria, thousands of which are at work in nearly every cell in your body, generating 90 percent of the energy you need to stay alive and well. When mitochondria become damaged in large numbers, it is impossible to stay healthy.Dr. Mercola shows you that you can take control of your health simply by giving your body the proper fuel-and it's not what you've likely been led to believe. A ketogenic diet, very low in carbohydrates and high in healthy fats, is the way to optimize the biochemical pathways that suppress disease and support healing. And the benefits can be astonishing-not only in treating or preventing serious illness, but in boosting your brainpower, increasing your energy, helping you lose weight and keep it off, and much more.As you read this book, you'll learn in clear, rational terms how your body works at a molecular level. You'll finally understand the type of fuel it's designed to burn in the most efficient way possible. You'll find detailed guidelines for starting and sticking with a ketogenic eating plan. And you won't have to wait a decade or two for metabolic mitochondrial therapy to make its way into the mainstream. You can build a healthier body and brain at the cutting edge of this exciting new discipline, starting right now.
