Arguably, the biggest champion over the years for cancer as a metabolic disease and largely ignored by medical opinion leaders, has been Dr. Thomas Seyfried who has promoted ketogenic diets as an adjunct to conventional treatment. A state of ketosis lowers blood sugar which tumor cells need, and elevates ketone bodies which normal cells can use for energy but tumor cells can’t. But even he seems blind to the clues about viral causation. In a 2014 study in Cancer Letters, he augments his theory of the central role of metabolism in glioblastoma in describing how 90% of brain tumor cells are infected by cytomegalovirus, “which is a supercharger for allowing tumor cells to use glucose and glutamine.” That biochemical pathway allows energy for tumors to grow despite inadequate oxygenation. But he doesn’t ask, why are viruses there to begin with and what other role might they play? Is this an example of mind control suppression to limit scientific progress?

This is one of many, many examples where science has stumbled on the viral presence in cells and tissues throughout the human body, but has been manipulated to be dismissive through beliefs cultivated to minimize the significance of such observations. For the most part, such studies are not part of a serious survey looking to find pathogens but are findings incidental to other investigations. So the presence of a common garden variety virus is more of a nuisance, seemingly unimportant to the investigation underway. Even the fact there are so many virus particles in the human body and representing common previously known varieties associated with acute illnesses, like infectious mononucleosis, flu-like illnesses, cold sores, etc., provides a ready explanation for their presence, and this discourages further thought about it and much painstaking work to pursue things further. In fact, the ubiquitousness of viral presence works against a practical establishment of viral causation because they are found in normal people without signs of illness as well, in many studies. So this creates a state of confusion and uncertainty, and seems to simply argue such observations are just a kind of noise needing to be disregarded and not something meaningful.
