Can You Prevent Cancer?
One of the central messages is that cancer isn’t just about “bad cells” in isolation, but about the underlying terrain of the body, how well our cellular energy systems (the mitochondria) are functioning, how our metabolism is balanced, and how well our body defenses (immune, detoxification, and antioxidant systems) are working together. Dr Berg emphasises that supporting mitochondrial health becomes a key strategy in reducing cancer risk and promoting overall cellular resilience.
When mitochondria are damaged or dysfunctional, cells may revert to abnormal energy pathways, oxidative stress increases, inflammation rises, and the environment becomes more favourable for malignant transformation. By contrast, healthy mitochondria contribute to normal apoptosis (cell-death when needed), stable metabolism, and robust resilience, supporting optimal energy production and long-term health.
