The Truth About Cancer<br />

Dr. Roby Mitchell: Right<br />

Ty: it’s called cachexia. When you see a patient that has cachexia<br />

and let’s say <strong>the</strong>ir oncologist says you’re wasting away, go out and<br />

eat anything you want. Is that wise advice<br />

Dr. Roby Mitchell: That’s like you being stranded in <strong>the</strong> middle of <strong>the</strong><br />

ocean and thirsty and you drink salt water.<br />

Ty: Great analogy.<br />

Dr. Roby Mitchell: Yeah<br />

Ty: So I mean I don't know how many patients that I’ve dealt with<br />

over <strong>the</strong> years that have come and said, you know, I’m losing<br />

weight. I’m in <strong>the</strong> cachexia cycle. And my oncologist has told me to<br />

go eat ice cream, cake, whatever will put <strong>the</strong> weight on me.<br />

Dr. Roby Mitchell: Right<br />

Ty: So in o<strong>the</strong>r words<br />

Dr. Roby Mitchell: That’s gasoline on <strong>the</strong> fire.<br />

KC Craichy: Super food nutrition is a concept that I started working on<br />

in <strong>the</strong> 90s and I wrote actually my first white paper on <strong>the</strong> subject, which<br />

I call <strong>the</strong> four corners of optimal nutrition at that point. Now I refer to it as<br />

<strong>the</strong> four corners of super food nutrition because <strong>the</strong> piece of super food<br />

nutrition is so interesting is that super food nutrition as we have defined<br />

it that we know in health that <strong>the</strong>re are something on <strong>the</strong> order of 50 to<br />

53, depends on how you slice <strong>the</strong>m. By that I mean, some people will<br />

argue <strong>about</strong> how many essential vitamins <strong>the</strong>re are, how many essential<br />

minerals <strong>the</strong>re are. Some people say <strong>the</strong>re’s nine essential amino acids,<br />

when o<strong>the</strong>rs will say <strong>the</strong>re’s 10. And if you add conditioning essentials<br />

<strong>the</strong>re might be 12. So depending on how you slice it though <strong>the</strong>se things<br />

called essential, or in this case, dietary essential means you have to get<br />

<strong>the</strong>m from your diet in order to get <strong>the</strong>m. They—okay, <strong>the</strong> body can do<br />

anything and make <strong>the</strong> non-essentials. Now technically <strong>the</strong>y’re all<br />

essential but <strong>the</strong> dietary essentials you must consume for <strong>the</strong> body to<br />

use that as raw material to make <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r things that your body needs.<br />

And so if you’re not getting those 50 plus essential nutrients <strong>the</strong>n you’re<br />

going to have physiologic consequences as a result. The four corners<br />

that we start with, calorie restriction with optimal nutrition. Now years<br />

ago you may remember <strong>the</strong> biosphere project with Dr. Roy Walford,<br />
