Cancer and Seed Oils

The truth about seed oils (PUFAS) is finally coming to light.  We’ve been falsely told that the surge in skin cancer is solely due to the sun and to slather up with toxic sunscreens, despite the fact that natural light is an essential nutrient.

In the following article you will learn that linoleic acid is extremely unstable and prone to oxidation.  But the switcheroo is complete because a society once heavily reliant upon animal fats has been duped into believing seed oils are healthier. They are now embedded in more than 70% of packaged foods.

According to AMD, the switch is all due to a 1980s public relations campaign by a struggling dermatology profession which rebranded itself as cancer fighters.  After all, skin cancer is very lucrative.

Historical Rise of Cancer and Dietary Linoleic Acid — Mechanisms and Therapeutic Strategies

Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola

Story at-a-glance

  • Cancer now affects 30% to 50% of Americans, a massive increase from just 5% in 1900, reflecting how modern diets and lifestyles have reshaped your body’s internal terrain
  • Excess linoleic acid (LA) from seed oils triggers toxic byproducts, chronic inflammation, and mitochondrial breakdown, all of which weaken your body’s defenses and fuel tumor growth
  • Lowering LA intake from 7% to around 2% to 3% of daily calories has been shown to cut oxidative stress markers by 20% in as little as 12 weeks, giving your body a chance to recover
  • A four-phase terrain restoration strategy uses seed oil elimination, staged carbohydrate reintroduction, gradual fiber restoration, and metabolic supports like intermittent fasting and exercise to rebuild resilience
  • Simple daily steps — avoiding seed oils, rebuilding gut health, supporting mitochondria through movement and sleep, and tracking progress — give you control over your risk and long-term health

I recently published a landmark paper in the World Journal of Clinical Oncology, an internationally recognized, peer-reviewed journal known for advancing cutting-edge cancer research.1 In this work, I call for nothing less than a paradigm shift in how cancer is approached — moving away from patchwork symptom management and toward restoring health at the cellular level.

The framework I outlined challenges the current standard of care and instead focuses on correcting the metabolic imbalances, mitochondrial dysfunction, and inflammatory triggers that make your body more hospitable to disease. My paper lays the scientific foundation for practical, everyday strategies you can begin applying right now to reclaim your terrain.

By targeting root causes instead of chasing downstream effects, you put yourself in the best position to strengthen your defenses and lower your risk of cancer in a meaningful way. The next step is to unpack the key findings of this research and show you how restoring balance inside your cells changes the trajectory of your health.  (See link for article and video)

_____________

SUMMARY:

  • The rise in LA tracked closely with cancer incidence
  • High LA levels are repeatedly associated with greater risks of breast, prostate, colorectal, and melanoma cancers.
  • High LA increases toxic byproducts in the body which overwhelm your body’s repair systems and tricks your body into acting like it’s oxygen starved which flips on cancer-promoting switches.
  • The biological damage includes oxidative stress, inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, suppressed autophagy, and gut dysbiosis.
  • Minimizing LA removes the core trigger of metabolic damage, along with eating easy-to-digest carbs to restore energy without overwhelming the gut, gradually restoring fiber, and including adjunctive metabolic supports such as intermittent fasting, exercise, and various supplements are a four pronged approach to reversing cancer.

Minimizing LA is tough since it is embedded in more than 70% of packaged foods.  It could also take months to see a change in tissue levels of LA.

Please read how mainstream media has been dismissing concerns about seed oils and is making the mistake of reductionism – reducing a complex biological phenomenon to a single variable (LDL cholesterol) which ignores the vast body of research on seed oils and mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, and cellular damage.

I would be remiss if I did not mention here that another very real reason cancer rates are through the roof is due to the COVID shots.  World renowned oncologist Professor Angus Dalgleish has issued a grave warning that there is an irrefutable link between the deadly disease and mRNA “vaccines,” and that the signal is impossible to ignore. He’s also seeing turbo cancers skyrocketing in his own vaxxed patients as well as stabilized cancer patients suddenly relapsing aggressively after getting a booster.

Just today, a peer-reviewed study has shown direct molecular evidence of mRNA ‘vaccine’ genomic integration.

What to Know About Raw Milk, Seed Oils, and the Food Pyramid

Sally Fallon Morell

“Animal fats are good for you. They’re not going to give you heart disease. Quite the opposite—they’re very stable, and they support good health. They support heart health,” Morell says. “Our mission is to bring people back to these foods, to get people to eat butter again, whole milk. By the way, egg yolks are a sacred food as well, very rich in nutrients and fat-soluble activators.”
Liquid oils are fragile and prone to oxidation which breaks down into aldehydes.  In fact, undertakers say they don’t need as much formaldehyde to preserve dead bodies now.
“Follow the money. I mean, it’s much less expensive to use soybean oil or corn oil than butter. Butter is a very expensive fat, or lard or tallow. Those are the three main ones. And then there’s also what I call the fruit oils: just palm oil, coconut oil, and palm kernel oil. These are much healthier than the seed oils because they’re more saturated. And you know the saturated fats have been demonized, but the saturated fats are the good fats. They’re the stable fats that don’t break down. And the fats that traditional people prized and always made sure they ate with their food.” ~ Sally Fallon Morell
Morell is the President of the Weston A. Price Foundation and author of, “Nourishing Traditions: The Cookbook that Challenges Politically Correct Nutrition and the Diet Dictocrats.”
_______________
**Comment**
In the interview, Morell states researchers gave animals a carcinogen.  One group was given saturated fat, and another group unsaturated fat, in the form of seed oils.  The ones fed the seed oils got cancer while the group given animal fats did not.  She states there are many studies like that.
Regarding olive oil, it is a fruit oil that does not require heat to remove the oil with a stone press.  Unlike seed oils it is very stable and a monounsaturated fat; however, you want to get extra virgin oil because it is cold pressed olive oil not the more common hot-pressed olive oil.
Eating seeds is fine, it’s when you crush them with a stainless steel roller press that it becomes a ‘foul-smelling gunk’ that has to be further processed, and heated several times.
Morell believes in using the most traditional oil available.  For example in Africa it is palm oil.  In the tropics it’s coconut oil.  In the Mediterranean it’s olive oil. But, it’s important to take into account how it’s manufactured.
The video also goes into raw milk, salt, and the problems with soy including the enzyme inhibitors that depress pancreatic function as well as the fact it’s hard to digest, is a goitrogen, is hard on the thyroid gland, and contains a type of estrogen.
A terrible prison experiment showed just how devastating soy can be in the human body.  In an attempt to reduce the budget, the governor of Illinois made the whole diet of the prison out of soy: soy meat, soy baked goods, and soy oil, etc.  Tremendous health problems occurred, especially of the thyroid but also the men grew breasts and essentially had chemical castration due to the estrogen in the soy.  When they got out of prison they had to go on disability.
Salt is needed to hormone production and the chloride part of salt is what we make hydrochloric acid with to digest proteins and the sodium part activates enzymes for digesting carbs.  At the turn of the century Americans had about 3 teaspoons a day with very little heart disease.  It’s now reduced to a teaspoon and a half but they want to cut that in half again.
The food industry puts a fake salt called simonix into foods as an ‘artificial flavor’ that stimulates the salt taste in your mouth but doesn’t give you the salt you actually need, making you eat more.
The USDA is pushing a politically correct food pyramid: lean meat, pasteurized skim milk, no butter, and lots of carbs which are filled with seed oils.
Fallon has a number of books:

The Contagion Myth
The Fourfold Path to Healing: Working With the Laws of Nutrition, Therapeutics, Movement, and Meditation in the Art of Medicine
According to Beat Cancer Foundation, seed oils are highly processed industrial oils high in omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) especially linoleic acid.
The organization states that contrary to popular belief, sunburns are not solely caused by UV exposure but are influenced by the internal condition of your skin and metabolism.
  • PUFAS integrate into skin cell membranes
  • PUFAS oxidize rapidly when exposed to UV light
  • This oxidation generates inflammatory compounds which damage skin cells and amplify UV-induced harm
  • Result: increased sunburn and higher oxidative stress which could very well yield more skin cancers
Saturated fats on the other hand are stable and resistant to oxidative damage and UV radiation.

Logic would indicate that cancer rates (melanoma, particularly) would be highest in regions with high UV exposure and yet reality shows that melanoma is more common in areas with low sun-light like Scandinavia, Canada, and the Northern U.S.

  • Animal studies with diets high in linoleic acid have dramatically higher incidences of UV-induced skin tumors.
  • Linoleic acid promotes angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels) and suppresses apoptosis (programmed cell death) – two processes that may facilitate cancer

**Comment**

I plan on writing an entire article on my experience with skin cancer but for now if you want some quick intel, go here for a video on my process so far:   https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2018/03/02/dmso-msm-for-lyme-msids/I’ve had two MOHS surgeries on my face (not fun) where they cut out the cancer, send samples to pathology and keep cutting until every cell is removed.  You are then sent home with a wound you must keep open and wet which means you look pretty gruesome for a spell.  It’s painful, takes time to heal, and can leave scars.  When done close to the eyes it can interfere with blinking and producing tears.Next, my doctor told me about CURADERM BEC5, an eggplant based cream that targets and destroys cancer cells and salicylic acid sloughs off the dead skin eventually leaving new virgin skin.  This process, I’m not going to lie, can be very painful.  Think of burning acid ….. but it does not involve removing skin from vulnerable places or leaving scars because it kills the cancer cells but allows new skin to come from the bottom up, to replace the cancer.  This can take time depending on how deep the cancer goes.  There can also be pus and sores until the cancer cells are all removed.  Depending upon the size of the area you can also really go through the tiny tubes which are $200 a pop.

Since this self-experiment using CURADERM I’ve read some promising testimonials on Dr. Makis’ Substack where people are using ivermectin paste successfully on cancers that are topical.  I’ve now been using the ivermectin cream and it is working wonderfully.  I still use CURADERM about once a week to slough off the old skin so I can physically see what I’m dealing with.  This has been particularly helpful for a large patch on my inner thigh.  The edges are becoming white, which is all new skin and the redness is becoming lighter and lighter over time.  I also don’t have any painful sores or pus anymore.  I’ve been working on it for nearly a year.

If you have a scab or skin area that will not heal, have it checked out.  All of my basal cell carcinomas where little areas that wouldn’t heal over time.  In nearly every case the cancer was deeper and wider than the initial spot.  Now, if I have a suspicious spot, I simply apply a tad of CURADERM and wait.  If it becomes red and inflamed I know I’m dealing with cancer.  Adding the ivermectin to the mix has reduced the costs substantially.  I will add that it takes a while to dry so I will cover with gauze and use medical tape to hold into place until it’s dry.  You apply twice a day and make sure to scrub off any paste before reapplying.  Again – I’ll eventually write up a complete article but for those of you who need some intel now, you got it!

I strongly believe that seed oils are behind my skin cancers.  Neither of my parents had skin cancer and were in the sun continually being born and raised on the Mississippi River.  But my generation grew up on Country Crock, the plastic-like substance that replaced butter which they told us was ‘bad.’  I believe my body is inundated with the stuff and now am on a mission to rid it of this highly manufactured toxic substance.  Sadly, I know this will take time.

Purposely Infecting People with AGS in the Name of ‘Climate Change’

https://www.frontpagemag.com/weaponizing-ticks-academics-propose-meat-allergy-to-fight-climate-change/

Weaponizing Ticks: Academics Propose Meat Allergy to Fight Climate Change

A new level of coercion in the climate war.

 by 

Article Excerpts:

Two researchers from Western Michigan University have proposed just that in a paper ominously titled “Beneficial Bloodsucking.” Published by the journal Bioethics in July, the paper argues that intentionally spreading alpha-gal syndrome (AGS) could be ethically defensible, and perhaps even necessary, because it reduces animal suffering and combats climate change. As the authors, Parker Crutchfield and Blake Hereth, put it:

“Because promoting tickborne AGS prevents something bad from happening, doesn’t violate anyone’s rights, and promotes virtuous action or character, it follows that promoting tickborne AGS is strongly pro tanto (‘to that extent’) morally obligatory.”

Really? According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), AGS “is a serious, potentially life-threatening allergy,” affecting “as many as 450,000 people.”

“Whatever excuse they may concoct to justify it,” notes Cameron English, director of biosciences at the American Council on Science and Health (ACSH), “deliberately releasing ticks into the environment with the intention of making people sick is unethical because it interferes with the proper functioning of their bodies.” English adds that “Crutchfield and Hereth want to infect millions of people with AGS precisely because ‘it is extremely difficult for most human beings to … forego acting on their desire to eat meat.’”

**Comment**

If you remember, a WEF goon has already stated this previously as a solution for ‘climate change’, another very contentious subject, with many researchers stating the entire narrative is a scam.  Last year a peer-reviewed study showed that CO2 emissions in the earth’s atmosphere can not cause ‘global warming.’

And just to be clear, an expert states:

“I assert there is no connection whatsoever between climate change and CO2– it’s all a crock of crap, in my opinion.” ~ Dr. John Clauser, 2022 Nobel physics laureate

Also see this video of Dr. Niall McCrae on ‘The Lie of Cataclysmic, Anthropogenic Climate Change.”

Please note just where the ‘climate change’ agenda can lead…..
purposely infecting people so they are forced to eliminate all animal products from their life

The the ignorantly self-righteous statements by these scientists is unbelievably staggering:

  • promoting AGS prevents something bad from happening
  • doesn’t violate anyone’s rights
  • promotes virtuous action or character

Huh?

Do they even consider the possibility that people man become infected with other life-altering pathogens which are often in ticks?  As it stands, patients must go to specialized doctors even now to even receive proper treatment and must pay out of pocket.  Imagine a whopping does of AGS on top of it all!

Already, in the name of ‘climate change,’:

  • WHO is posturing itself to be able to declare a ‘climate emergency’ anytime they wish to lock down all of life on planet earth
  • JPMorgan states that private property may need to be seized by the federal government for corporations to advance “climate” initiatives
  • the current “energy transition” away from inexpensive, reliable and very clean conventional energy toward unconventional energies such as wind and solar power that are expensive, unreliable, and deeply problematic environmentally is best described by an article in the Manhattan Institute as an unrealistic delusion
  • two independent studies found intensely noisy offshore wind projects cause hearing loss in marine mammals, turtles, and fish and compromise their ability to navigate, avoid danger, detect predators, and find prey
  • go here to watch an informative video on the staggering amount of energy and resources required to build a single wind turbine.  According to this, there are 75,633 turbines covering 45 states plus Guam and Puerto Rico. Recently there’s been a slow down due to defects that according to manufacturers can affect up to 30% of turbines which can cause anything from fires to complete breakdowns where they fall to the ground
  • elevated humpback whale mortalities have occurred along the Atlantic coast from Maine through Florida coinciding with offshore operations
  • wind and solar farms only work 30% of the time, yet the delusions continue.
  • California serves as a prime example of a state that requires conventional energy to keep the fantasy afloat, yet proponents argue this will all be well given more time, more subsidies, more magical thinking, and more pixie dust
  • under the guise of reducing “methane emissions,” 13 WEF-infiltrated nations  have agreed to engineer global famine by abolishing agricultural production and shutting down all farms to ‘save the planet.’  The U.S. is one of those nations.
  • globalists’ fraudulent solutions to the purported climate crisis is Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) investing. A company’s ESG score is supposed to tell investors how socially conscious the company is, but recent scandals have revealed ESG is a scam.
If you wondered where the ‘climate’ narrative is going to go, wonder no more.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Journal of Clinical Microbiology Studies Demonstrate Two Investigational Diagnostics Outperform Current Tests in Detecting Early Lyme Disease

Studies utilize Bay Area Lyme Foundation’s Lyme Disease Biobank samples to point to the promise of single-tier diagnostics to potentially transform early detection

PORTOLA VALLEY, Calif., October 9, 2025 — Bay Area Lyme Foundation, the leading nonprofit funder of Lyme disease research in the US, today announced results from two independent studies published in Journal of Clinical Microbiology, conducted by researchers at Tufts University School of Medicine, and Kephera Diagnostics, respectively, demonstrating the potential of novel investigational single-tier Lyme disease tests to improve accuracy in the earliest stages of infection. Each study uses well-characterized samples from Bay Area Lyme Foundation’s Lyme Disease Biobank and demonstrated unprecedented accuracy, far exceeding the current CDC-recommended Lyme disease two-tier test, which can miss up to 70% of early-stage cases as well as later-stage cases.

“The CDC’s standard two-tier Lyme diagnostic misses the majority of early cases, delaying treatment and increasing the risk of developing persistent, debilitating symptoms for patients. The two novel single-tier assays—while not yet FDA-cleared for clinical use—point to a future where Lyme disease can be diagnosed quickly, accurately, and with a single test,” Liz Horn, PhD, MBI, a coauthor on both studies, and Principal Investigator of Lyme Disease Biobank, a Bay Area Lyme Foundation program that provides much-needed samples to approved researchers working to better understand tick-borne diseases and develop improved diagnostic tests and therapeutics. “These single tier tests, like InBios Lyme Detect™ and Kephera’s Hybrid Lyme ELISA could mark a turning point for Lyme diagnostics, giving physicians and patients more accurate tools that are urgently needed.”

The first study, evaluating the InBios Lyme Detect™ Multiplex ELISA, was conducted by Pete Gwynne, PhD, a 2022 Bay Area Lyme Emerging Leader Award (ELA) winner, and colleagues at Tufts University School of Medicine. Using samples from the Lyme Disease Biobank, this new diagnostic correctly identified all two-tier positive samples evaluated in the study, while also detecting 21 of 79 clinically diagnosed patients who were missed by following the current CDC guidance for testing using FDA-cleared standard two-tier tests (STTT) and had erythema migrans (EM) skin lesions. Importantly, the InBios test maintained >99% specificity, with only one false positive across more than 200 control and lookalike disease samples and was shown to be highly reproducible.

“Improving diagnostics for early Lyme detection is critical to reducing missed cases and enabling patient access to treatment when it is most effective, helping prevent disease progression,” said Pete Gwynne, PhD, Research Assistant Professor of Molecular Biology and Microbiology at Tufts University School of Medicine. “The use of Lyme Disease Biobank samples to validate this research highlights the important role biorepositories can play in innovative science.”

InBios’ microarray-based assay is designed to capture reactivity against a set of 10 different Borrelia burgdorferi antigens simultaneously including VlsE and multiple OspC variants, and it uses machine learning to analyze results, identifying complex patterns.

“The Lyme Detect Multiplex ELISA offers a significant improvement in early Lyme detection while simultaneously providing important independent IgG and IgM antibody reactivity against a broad panel of targets,” said James Needham, PhD, Director of New Product Development at InBios International.

Another recent independent study published in the Journal of Clinical Microbiology in August found Kephera Diagnostics’ Hybrid Lyme ELISA demonstrated 94% sensitivity in patients with EM skin lesions, compared to just 64% for STTT and 76% for modified two-tier testing (MTTT). The Hybrid Lyme ELISA likewise outperformed both two-tier methods in detection of EM patients within the first week after onset of symptoms. This single-tier test achieved equivalent specificity to both STTT and MTTT, based on a unique approach that requires antibodies to bind both the Borrelia C6 peptide and the VlsE protein. The test is now in clinical trials to support an FDA submission.

“Our Hybrid Lyme ELISA demonstrates that it’s possible to achieve both high sensitivity and high specificity in a single-tier format, even in the earliest stages of Lyme disease,” said Andrew Levin, PhD, Chief Executive and Scientific Officer of Kephera Diagnostics, who led this study using samples from the Lyme Disease Biobank, the CDC, and New York Medical College. “Access to well-characterized samples was essential to validating this approach and moving the field closer to a reliable, first-line diagnostic for Lyme.”

About Lyme disease
The most common vector-borne infectious disease in the US, Lyme disease is a potentially disabling infection caused by bacteria transmitted through the bite of an infected tick to people and pets, and can be potentially passed from a pregnant mother to her unborn baby. If caught early, most cases of Lyme disease can be effectively treated, but it is commonly misdiagnosed due to lack of awareness and inaccurate diagnostic tests. There are more than 620,000 new cases of Lyme disease each year, according to Bay Area Lyme Foundation estimates. As a result of the difficulty in diagnosing and treating Lyme disease, up to two million Americans may be suffering from the impact of its debilitating long-term symptoms and complications, according to Bay Area Lyme Foundation estimates.

About Lyme Disease Biobank
Lyme Disease Biobank (LDB), a program of Bay Area Lyme Foundation, is a non-profit organization working to accelerate research of Lyme disease and other tick-borne infections. With a collection of biological specimens from more than 1,250 participants, including blood, serum, plasma, urine and tissue, LDB provides much-needed samples to approved researchers working to better understand tick-borne diseases and develop improved diagnostic tests and therapeutics. Blood and urine samples are collected from the Northeast, Upper Midwest and West Coast areas of the US, and tissue samples are collected throughout the country.

**Comment**

Not sure why Bay Area Foundation is stating that congenital Lyme can potentially happen.  It can happen – period and 33 years of of documentation proves it.

Interesting to note:

“study co-author Gary P. Wormser, MD, New York Medical College said, “This test [Kephera Diagnostics’s Hybrid Lyme ELISA] could potentially change the standard of clinical practice, allowing clinicians to diagnose all manifestations of Lyme disease with a time-saving one-step antibody test.”

Why the Lyme/MSIDS community is still working with Gary Wormser is beyond me.  His track record is clear.

Having a quicker, more accurate test for early Lyme is important, but so is an accurate test for the thousands upon thousands who are chronically infected.

It will be interesting to see what ‘the powers that be’ do with all these new tests coming out. The concerted effort against direct testing or any test that is deemed competition to FDA/CDC testing has been decades in the making.

**Comment**

Like so many other pioneers who expose inconvenient truths about Lyme, the Michigan State Attorney’s Office told Dr. Lida Mattman to stop testing for Lyme using her gold standard direct culture technique.  She also successfully duplicated the results of the Bowen Q-RiBb test, which provided a preliminary report of the findings within 24 hours of receiving the specimen. The final report included digital photographs of the finding, which was useful in evaluating treatment by comparing pre and post serial dilution results.

Direct testing for Lyme has been attacked for over 20 years.  The CDC has persecuted any test they don’t have control over and get kick backs from.

Mattman was subsequently threatened with time in jail or a fine of 5,000 dollars a day.  State police arrived at her lab with handcuffs and tried to find evidence that she was still testing but they didn’t find what they were looking for. She was forced to stop her valuable work and leave her lab.

The continued adherence to worthless 2-tier CDC testing is on purpose.  They don’t want an accurate test – they’ve had two already and buried them!

I question the use of PCR for diagnosing anything.  Just look at the COVID fiasco due to faulty testing.  Time will tell on this new IGeneX test.

For more:

Despite having nearly every symptom and being ER bound, neither my husband nor I managed to test positively on the CDC’s 2-tiered testing which sets arbitrary limits and omits the most specific band that is sometimes the only marker for those with late-stage Lyme due to decision made in Dearborn, Michigan decades ago.

The most divisive part of the two-step diagnostic standard – now called the Dearborn criteria – was elimination from the Western blot of two Bb proteins, outer surface protein A (OspA), from which LYMErix was made, and outer surface protein B (OspB), the intended component of next-generation vaccines.  Source
