This is fascinating. It is great to have somebody so knowledgeable about.
You are helping me clarify things I do not understand or had only partially grasped.
Can you clarify when the body burns fats and when it burns glucose in normal conditions in lay terms?
In this link
http://www.thresholdpharm.com/sec/targeting there is a picture of a cancer green (no oxygen)and red surrounding area labelled "rapidly dividing".
Is the rapidly dividing what is referred to as the stromal bed, a sort of cancer nursery?
Is this red area able to burn fats. IF it is able to burn fats (or glucose) could this be the area they are trying to target in the "Atkins diet" trial.
Would not the burning of fats produce things like "peroxides" which might then be able to zap the cells in the red area?.
Do the green cells (no oxygen) retain the ability (dormant) to burn fats but do not for some reason eg;
Do not have access to the right fats ?
Have damaged fat transportation in the cell membrane?
Have they mutated or the mitochonria been damaged? etc.
Do they know why non oxygen burning cancer cells do not burn fats?
Many thanks
