In this book, cancer’s complexities are demystified, unveiling a fresh interpretation that holds the power to revolutionise how we approach its treatment. Written with the lay person in mind, it navigates the intricate labyrinth of cancer, translating the science into relatable concepts. The proposition presented is simple: to effectively treat a disease, we must first identify its root cause. The bone of contention: we are forging ahead to create cancer treatments even though the underlying cause of cancer has not yet been identified – a reality highlighted by the many different theories of cancer that exist, and a failure to create a cure. Unable to establish a causal mechanism may explain why mainstream treatments provide no guarantee of success. A fresh perspective that provides new treatment options, therefore, is urgently needed. Mark Lintern developed a new model of cancer that purports to have identified cancer's elusive origin. Lintern unveils a formidable body of evidence that challenges prevailing beliefs and unveils an overlooked thread of consistency within the complex fabric of the disease. He presents that certain pathogens possess not only the ability to initiate cancer, but also to actively drive its progression through a suppressive mechanism of control not yet considered by scientists. In a twist that challenges conventional wisdom and corroborates Mark’s research, emerging evidence has begun to question the consensus view. The latest studies, Lintern maintains, unequivocally confirm the presence of micro-organisms within every tumour analysed to date. This astonishing revelation has left the scientific community grappling with urgent questions: are these micro-organisms passive bystanders or key drivers of cancerous conditions? In support of Mark's new model, Ravid Straussman – who made the discovery – proposes that it may be the latter. Supported by 800+ references, Mark sheds light on the pivotal role played by pathogens in driving the Warburg effect, a core feature of the disease that, up until now, remained unexplained.
