    Dr. Thomas Seyfried (biochemistry professor)

    Dr. Thomas Seyfried is a professor of biology, genetics, and biochemistry at Boston College.  According to his research, we have misunderstood cancer as a genetic disease, rather than what is truly is, a metabolic disease.  He has had very good results with treating cancer in both animals and humans using a ketogenic diet and low dose drugs.  We discuss his groundbreaking research, how it works and how to get the word out about this.
