The Power Of Flow States

Writing My Final Paper In One Day For My Cancer Prevention And Risk Reduction Minor In Natural Medicine

I’m going to do something different today.

Every day, I write an article about some topic related to Executive Sageship...

From leadership topics, business models, psychophysiology, and more.

For every article...

I come up with an idea...

Write...

Edit...

And Publish...

All in the same day.

Now, within the over 1,000 articles that I have written in nearly 3 years straight of writing...

One of my favorite topics is Flow States.

Why?

Well, part of it is just how powerful they are to our Success.

If we compare someone in Flow to someone who is “Normal”...

You discover that the person in Flow is 5x more productive than the average person.

If you expand this into Burnout...

Which over 80% of the workforce is currently at some stage of...

Then the person in Flow is 20x more productive than the person in Burnout.

I know that may sound like a lot...

And it is.

But that is the power of Human Psychophysiology.

I also know that it is this powerful because I use Flow States consistently in my life.

I even used it today.

I had a final paper to write for my minor, which I have been working on, that goes with my second Doctoral Degree.

The degree is a Doctorate in Natural Medicine.

The minor is in Cancer Prevention and Risk Reduction.

I decided to officially choose my topic, research, write, and edit my paper today.

The topic was the benefits of utilizing natural anti-parasitic fungi approaches in cancer prevention and risk reduction.

It may sound strange, but there is evidence that cancer and fungi have some form of relationship within our physiology...

Which researchers are currently debating the “specifics” of.

Now, I do not have a lab, and I am not a Western Doctor, meaning that I do not treat or diagnose disease, or prescribe medication...

But I am a Licensed and Triple Board Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner and Functional Health Coach...

With a Doctorate of Functional Medicine, a Minor in Human Parasitology, and I will soon have my second Doctorate...

Which allows me to help clients target their health problems, reverse symptoms they have, and help them find and eliminate the root causes of their diseases, with a focus on prevention of disease.

All of which I did so that I could continue to understand human psychophysiology at deeper levels...

To help clients attain Sageship and reach their psychophysiological peak potential.

As Burnout, Chronic Diseases, and Sickness spread...

We need more and better solutions to the challenges we face...

And I wanted to be able to effectively and efficiently help clients accomplish that goal...

While also attaining their business goals.

This brought me to write this paper today.

Cancer is something that has been becoming worse in our world, and which has taken family and friends away from me.

So it is a topic that I am very invested in.

Writing an academic paper on Cancer...

Especially one on topics that are not widely discussed in Oncology, the study and treatment of cancer...

Would not be considered an “easy” task.

Many Western doctors are not even aware of research that exists outside of the “big 3” solutions to cancer today - surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation.

All three of those also do not have great success rates in eliminating cancer.

They are viable and should always be considered...

But their success has not been demonstrated to be great...

Even with advancements in 50 years...

With Tens of Billions of Dollars dedicated to researching it every year.

But this is the task that I set out on today.

How did it go?

I wrote 12 Pages on the topic...

With 20 Sources, including Books (that I have read previously) and Research Papers (Most of which I had not read previously), formatted in a style I am not used to...

And edited the paper...

In 6 hours.

That is the power of Flow.

Now, this paper has not been graded yet as I write this...

But I feel very confident on the content and believe that I will pass.

How confident?

I’m going to publish the paper right now as a part of this article, and you can read it for yourself.

Note that this is an academic paper, not meant to be utilized outside of research purposes, and is only informational.

I am not a Western doctor, I do not practice Western medicine, I do not have patients, and nothing that I have written constitutes any form of doctor-patient relationship.

If you have cancer, go seek immediate help from your primary Western medical physician.

If you are interested in more natural approaches to cancer prevention and risk reduction, then you should talk to your primary Western medical physician.

Any good doctor will listen to you about your desire to seek other approaches and will be open to looking at any research that you provide them.

If your doctor is not open, then I highly recommend that you seek a second opinion from a Western medicine physician who is open to looking at any research you provide them.

Understand that cancer is an extremely dangerous and fast-changing disease, and Western medical physicians are your best option to make sure that you live as long as possible.

Always work with a Western medical physician, especially when looking at anything that is extremely dangerous and life-threatening.

With that out of the way, I will leave my usual call-to-action, and then after that, I will provide my paper for your informational purposes.

I plan to discuss the merits of utilizing anti-parasitic fungal methods of natural medicine as a form of cancer prevention and risk reduction.

There is currently a battle in medicine around the relationship between parasitic fungi and cancer. One side argues that cancer is a form of fungi. Another side argues that cancer and fungi have a symbiotic relationship. Then a third side claims that there is no direct relationship, only that cancer and fungi seem to coexist in the same physiological environments. What does not seem to be argued is that there is an unexpectedly high correlation between cancer and fungi. Research shows that there is one fungal cell per 10,000 cancer cells [1] and that there is evidence of tumor-specific localization patterns [2].

Now, we can argue about which came first, the cancer or the fungi, or whether there is any difference at all, but it misses the most important point. Cancer cells and fungi have an extremely high correlation, and seem to work best within the same environment. You can explain things like missing a fungal cell if you get 9,999 cancer cells and miss the 1 fungal cell in any singular sample. You can claim that the cancer came first and created an environment that allows the fungi to survive, or perhaps the cancer cell could be hijacking the fungi cell to aid in proliferation. You could also argue that the fungal cell hijacks a cell and turns it cancerous to help create an environment where the fungi can thrive. What does not seem to be being argued is that both cancer and fungi exist within the same environment. What this means is that, regardless of the relationship between fungi and cancer, there is merit to pursuing anti-parasitic fungal approaches as cancer prevention and risk reduction approaches.

So, what might a natural medicine approach to cancer look like that seeks to target both cancer and fungi simultaneously?

We might first want to look at diet. What kind of a diet would be most beneficial to target cancer and fungi? Looking at the research, it seems that the answer is a diet that is high in fat and low in carbohydrates. The main diet that is discussed in the literature is the Ketogenic Diet. The idea is that cancer appears to thrive through the process of glycolysis to survive and produce ATP [3]. This is accomplished through the utilization of carbohydrates, especially sugars. This is where the phrase, “Cancer loves sugar,” is derived from. So, if you remove the sugars and carbohydrates, then you prevent cancers from creating the ATP they need to proliferate. This is a result we have seen in some cancers [3]. But does it also hold true in fungi? It seems that research does indicate that the Keto Diet can also be utilized to aid in fungal overgrowth [4]. Both cancer and fungal overgrowth seem to be impacted by a Keto Diet.

There is a caveat to this, however. It seems that there are certain types of cancers and fungi that are less impacted by the Keto Diet, especially alone. But, it seems that a Keto Diet seems to work better, on both cancer and fungi, as an adjuvant therapy [3][5]. What this implies is that, with certain cancers and fungi, it may not be enough to utilize diet alone. But what the diet can do is weaken the cancer and fungi, which allows for other treatments to have a higher impact and success rate. As the goal of this paper is to focus on natural medicine, we will not currently discuss the uses of other approaches, such as chemotherapy for cancer or flucanozole for fungi, but it is worth saying that if a situation is dire, it is worth discussing these with your primary care physician.

Before moving on, we should also consider whether Keto is the only diet that would work. The current evidence is lacking, but theoretically, we could also consider a Carnivore Diet as another potential approach. This diet has virtually no carbs in it. It could be that certain cancers can still exist on a Keto Diet because the areas where these cancers are found, such as the brain [3], are the areas that will first gain access to any carbohydrates for energy creation, and therefore, there are enough carbohydrates in those areas to allow the cancer or fungus to survive. If this is the case, then a Carnivore Diet would reduce carbohydrates even further, which then may create the desired effect. It should also be noted that many people struggle with gaining other necessary nutrients on a Carnivore Diet, such as those needed to aid immune function. That is why it is important to understand how to do the diet correctly, as many nutrients are available in a Carnivore Diet through the consumption of a variety of animal organs, including liver, kidney, brain, and more [6]. We need to make sure that when we approach any Diet, we are getting all of the nutrients that our bodies need.

Next, we should consider herbs and supplements that we may utilize, which could have effects on both cancer and fungus. For instance, there is evidence to support the idea that Burdock has both anti-cancer [7] and anti-fungal [8] properties. This has also been seen with Prickly Ash [7] [9]. It has also been documented with Stillingia [7] [10], Barberry [7] [11], and Potassium Iodine [7] [12]. It is important to note that any supplements should be discussed with a primary physician to ensure that there are no contraindications. As long as there are no interfering problems with the use of these, and there is proper oversight on the effectiveness of these herbs and supplements, then these are all potentially viable and natural solutions to aid in cancer prevention and risk reduction, as well as have therapeutic effects against fungi.

When combined with diet, it is also theoretically possible that there could be a greater impact on both cancer and fungi. In this case, the diets we discussed could weaken cancer cells and fungi. This would then make them more vulnerable to the anti-fungal and anti-cancer effects of things like Burdock, Prickly Ash, Stillingia, Barberry, and Potassium Iodine. More research is needed to verify the effectiveness of this approach, but there is a theoretical logic to this approach that should be investigated further.

Another consideration for natural medicine approaches to cancer is oxygen. Based on Otto Warburg’s research, cancer has been known to thrive in low-oxygen, or hypoxic, environments [13]. This correlates with cancer’s use and preference for carbohydrates and its struggle with fats, to create energy from our diet. This suggests that increasing oxygen levels can help prevent and reduce the risk of cancer. But is this true for fungi? According to research, it does appear that when there is a high partial pressure of oxygen, it can prevent the spread of fungi [14]. There has also been research that shows that Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy has fungicidal effects [15]. What this indicates is that, at the very least, increasing oxygen levels and use in the body can at the very least slow down both cancer and fungi, and potentially have a greater impact, though more research is needed.

So, what are some natural methods that we can utilize to aid us in improving oxygen levels and use in our bodies?

Cardio exercise is a great place to start. As cancer can be a significant stressor on the body, it is important to do the right kind of cardiovascular exercise. For that, we can look at heart rates. Based on basic physiology, we know that as exercise gets more and more intense, we transition from aerobic energy production to anaerobic energy production. This means that for our purposes, we want to stay in lower heart rate zones to maintain aerobic energy production. We also want to avoid high heart rate zones where the body transitions to anaerobic energy production because that is the same type of environment where cancer thrives. It is also worth noting that if you are on a low-carbohydrate diet, it will be more difficult to get and stay in an anaerobic zone, and attempting to do that could cause higher levels of stress on the body. For our purposes, we may want to stick to a brisk walk [16] or a slow jog [17]. You could also look at biking or swimming as other modalities for aerobic exercise if you prefer. For a more specific heart rate, we may want to utilize a heart rate device that calculates different heart rate zones and remain at, or below, Zone 3. We may also want to use something like an equation, like the MAF Method, to create a personal Heart Rate Zone to aim to be below [18]. What is beneficial about this approach is that we can use this type of exercise to train our mitochondria to increase their ability to create energy from fats. This can, over time, allow one to accomplish more physically while remaining in the aerobic zone.

We may also want to incorporate breath work to accomplish this goal. One challenge that has been identified in today’s society is that many people have dysfunctional breathing, which can create problems with oxygen exchange in our body [19]. Essentially, we can breathe too much oxygen, in the wrong way, which prevents proper oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange. What this means is that we breathe in oxygen and breathe out oxygen because the gas exchange does not occur. This results in more CO2 remaining in the blood and creating a hypercapnia environment, which has been shown to aid tumor proliferation [20]. By doing breathwork, we can train the body to become significantly better at creating the proper oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange. This will then create better oxygenation in the body, which can then create an environment that is more difficult for cancer and fungi to spread.

As a final point of ways to use natural medicine for prevention and reducing the risk of cancer and fungi, we should look at the immune system. Naturally, our body’s immune system should be able to attack both cancer and fungi. Of course, we know that in today’s world, the body is being attacked in many different ways, which spreads out the resources of the immune system, making it less effective at protecting us. But we can look at ways to naturally improve the Immune System. We should aim to get 7 to 9 hours of sleep. Look at different methods of reducing stress. This includes physical, mental, emotional, and even spiritual stressors. We should keep ourselves hydrated and avoid toxins to the best of our abilities. We can also assist our Immune System by getting whole food vitamin C, whole food vitamin A, and natural zinc. We should also get outside both for natural oxygen and natural sunlight, which helps produce Natural Vitamin D that the body is actually able to use through UVB. We can look at eating food or taking natural supplements that provide probiotics as well. Each of these may not directly prevent or reduce the risk of cancer or parasitic fungus, but they all help to improve the function of the immune system and allow it to focus on the cancer or parasitic fungus with higher effectiveness.

We know that both cancer and parasitic infections can become extremely problematic to our health. Through this paper, we have discussed different natural approaches and mechanisms for preventing and reducing the risk of cancer and parasitic infections, and how it does not necessarily matter which comes first or how they directly interact when they thrive in the same environments and can be impacted by similar methodologies. We looked at the merits of a Keto Diet and Carnivore Diet, focusing on lowering carbohydrates as a method to weaken cancer and fungi. We also looked at different herbs and supplements as potential ways to attack cancer and parasitic fungi, which may be enhanced through the Keto Diet and similar low-carbohydrate diets. We also looked at how creating an oxygen-rich environment can further inhibit both cancer and fungi, which can be accomplished through aerobic exercise with a focus on lower heart rates, mitochondrial improvement to using fats as fuel, and utilizing breathing techniques to improve internal oxygenation. Then we finished with a look at methods that can help improve the immune system, allowing it to dedicate more resources to attacking cancer and parasitic fungi.

It is still important to consider these approaches with the help of your primary physician. Even if these methods can be effective, cancer is a deadly disease that can spread extremely quickly. If you are at a stage in the disease that is advanced, you may need to consider other approaches, and your primary physician should help you navigate the best options that are available to you.

Perhaps what is most important to consider in all of this is that once cancer becomes detectable, it can be very difficult for anyone to survive. The best approach to surviving cancer is to reduce the risk and try to prevent it before it becomes a problem. The further that cancer is able to get, the more difficult it becomes to do anything about it. If we try to keep our bodies healthy and maintain an environment that is naturally more difficult for both cancer and parasitic fungi to survive in, then we may not need to resort to approaches that are more extreme. Everything that has been discussed in this paper does not require you to already be fighting cancer. These are approaches that you can apply so that it becomes highly unlikely that you ever develop cancer in the first place. Even if we have these as tools to combat cancer and parasitic fungi, it is better if we never get to a point where we have to go to war in the first place.
