Carol,

I was thinking based on the way chemotherapy supposedly works on fast-dividing cells, with cancer cells being fast-dividing so they require lots of energy -- that if our mitochondria are kept in slo-mo as long as possible, that would slow down the development of the cancer cells. But unfortunately it also might be causing the severe problems like chemo brain, as well as slowing down our metabolism and resulting in the problem of weight gain of fat, which then seems to contribute to inflammation and recurrence.

Those are the kinds of unpredicted results that can happen when an extreme therapy is given in hopes that it will work -- it can end up very having hidden ways of contributing to the very things it is intended to prevent.
