Cancer and the Acidic Environment
12 02 2007
Today we have an ocean of confusing information, articles in which different
experts state many different reasons for illness. However, I think that the
main reason for illness was stated very clearly in 1931! Over 75 years ago,
Otto Warburg was awarded the Nobel prize for his discovery that cancer is
caused by weakened cell respiration due to lack of oxygen at the cellular level.
According to Warburg, damaged cell respiration causes fermentation, resulting
in low pH (acidity) at the cellular level.
Dr. Warburg, in his Nobel Prize winning study, illustrated the environment
of the cancer cell. A normal healthy cell undergoes an adverse change when it
can no longer take in oxygen to convert glucose into energy. In the absence
of oxygen, the cell reverts to a primal nutritional program to nourish itself
by converting glucose through the process of fermentation. The lactic acid
produced by fermentation lowers the cell pH (acid/alkaline balance) and
destroys the ability of DNA and RNA to control cell division. The cancer cells then
begin to multiply. The lactic acid simultaneously causes severe local pain as
it destroys cell enzymes. Cancer appears as a rapidly growing external cell
covering, with a core of dead cells.
Dr. Otto Warburg finished one of his most famous speeches with the following
statement: "…nobody today can say that one does not know what cancer and its
prime cause is. On the contrary, there is no disease whose prime cause is
better known, so that today ignorance is no longer an excuse that one cannot do
more about prevention."[2]
Otto Warburg won the Nobel Prize for showing that cancer thrives in
anaerobic (without oxygen), or acidic, conditions. In other words, the main cause for
cancer is acidity of the human body.
By the time I read his genius speech, he had been dead a long time. I
wonder, if this discovery was so important that he received the Nobel Prize, why
doesn't everyone know what pH is?
As soon as scientists discovered what healthy human blood pressure and
temperature are supposed to be, devices were invented to measure them. Whenever I
went to a doctor, my blood pressure and temperature were measured, but I
don't ever remember a doctor measuring my pH. High blood pressure and fever,
though not pleasant, do not cause cancer. The acidic condition of the blood does.
It is not my opinion; it is what the internationally renowned scientist Dr.
Warburg has proven. For this statement he won the Nobel Prize. As the outcome
of the recognition of his discovery, I think it is vital to make pH
information available at once to everyone.

i think you are absolutely right.
I keep seeing this idea that Warburg won the Nobel Prize for work related to cancer. This is not true.
He won the prize “for his discovery of the nature and mode of action of the respiratory enzyme”, i.e. cytochromes.
Not quite the same thing.
He did research and write about cancerous cells and how they generate energy by glycolysis, produce lactic acid, etc. But that wasn’t what his Nobel Prize was for.
The part about Warburg was misleading. But it’s true in the sense that his study of cancer cells won him the Nobel Prize when it helped in the understanding of respiratory enzymes.
