Steve Katz via Cancer Compass~An Alternate Route 1 hr · Healthy cells respirate by burning oxygen with a small amount of glucose in order to produce their energy. This is aerobic respiration, or with oxygen. In the 1920s, Dr Warburg discovered that cancerous cells respirate differently from healthy cells. More specifically, he found that cancerous cells acquire their energy by breaking down large amounts of glucose, or through the process of fermentation. This is anaerobic respiration, or without oxygen. This change in energy production will occur when oxygen levels drop below 60%, and the respiration process of energy production is forced to switch over to the fermentation process, thus turning normal cells into cancerous cells. cancercompassalternateroute/cancer/cancer-cannot-survive-in-an-oxygenated-alkaline-environment/
