So today we're going to talk about where cancer comes from, where does cancer cells originate

from? Would you believe that cancer cells originate from normal cells? I mean that's pretty weird.

Why would cancer cells come from normal cells? So let's talk about that. So really what happens

that causes a normal cell to turn into a cancer cell is damage within a normal cell.

It's damage within the mitochondria. Now there are certain older or ancient genes

that are built into our system, into our cells, that our bodies and other organisms have been using for a very long time.

And apparently under certain conditions when the mitochondria becomes damaged, there is an adaptation to a plan B

of helping that cell survive. And so the difference between a normal cell and a cancer cell is a cancer cell

does not run on the normal metabolism that a normal cell uses.

A cancer cell runs on this older kind of prehistoric type metabolism where your cells are fermenting its fuel.

That's what a cancer cell does. And what's really fascinating about when a normal cell turns into a cancer cell,

because of this damage in the mitochondria, the cancer cell now becomes immortal.

It no longer has a point where it stops dividing. It keeps dividing on and on and on and it lives forever.

Versus a normal cell which divides a certain amount of times and then it stops. It dies.

So a cancer cell becomes immortal. That's what's unique about a cancer cell.

The other thing that's interesting about a cancer cell is they divide much faster than a normal cell.

So they're just growing really, really fast. The other thing that's unique is that they're hogging a lot of the fuel.

So they're just basically eating like crazy. They're in glucose, they're eating certain amino acids like glutamine, much more than normal cells.

And in my last video I also talked about they can also consume ketones for some of the cellular membranes that they need to survive.

Now the other thing that's interesting about a cancer cell is it migrates into areas of inflammation.

Now this is good data because anything that can decrease inflammation in your body will help you slow down the migration of these cancer cells.

Now the other thing about a cancer cell is that it requires angiogenesis.
