Provocative Professor Brian Peskin blows the lid off of health myths
Cancer is a serious illness that warrants innovative ways to treat it that go beyond the usual ways to deal with it. German Nobel Prize-winning biochemist Otto Warburg, M.D., Ph.D. discovered the best way to treat cancer is to starve the cancer cells which thrives on sugar. If you reduce the sugar/carbohydrates and replace it with more fat, then you can stop the spread of this terrible disease, reduce tumors, and do it all naturally without the use of dangerous drugs and chemotherapy (something I wrote extensively about in Lesson #11 of my new book). Today’s podcast interview guest picks up where Dr. Warburg left off in his research.
In Episode 316 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore,” we hear from the enthusiastic Professor Brian Peskin, an MIT graduate who founded the field of Life-Systems Engineering Science in 1995 to bring a practical application approach to health. He wrote a compelling and comprehensive book on the nutritional solution to cancer entitled The Hidden Story of Cancer that should be required reading for every medical professional today. Professor Peskin has certainly done his research on this subject and is impassioned about sharing what he’s learned with everyone who will listen.
Tune in to today’s interview with Brian Peskin to hear how his wife’s Type 1 diabetes diagnosis led him to do what he does, the indelible influence of Dr. Otto Warburg on what he believes about cancer, why the lack of cellular oxygen and parent essential oils are critical in health, the dangers of fish oil leading to diabetes and even death, why most omega-6 fatty acids aren’t functional, the truth about cardiovascular health and statin drugs, why most doctors are clueless about heart disease, longevity, and cancer, the connection between low-LDL cholesterol and cancer, why a 99% failure rate for statin drugs is acceptable to the so-called health “experts,” why the FDA doesn’t step in to do something about the statin failure issue, what he thinks about T. Colin Campbell’s The China Study, why animal-based protein is so vitally important, and why he believes consuming a high-carb diet is “dumber than dirt.” This is a highly entertaining and informative podcast interview that you should listen to if you or someone who know is dealing with a cancer diagnosis.

Good evening Jimmy,
I remember the Radient Health program and a few years back found the paper work in the closet. I did some searching to see what happened to Brian Peskin and found this bit of info.
http://www.quackwatch.org/11Ind/Peskin/peskin.html
THANKS for the info, John!

Yes, Peskin made in onto Quachwatch.com’s list of “Promoters of Questionable Practices”:
http://www.quackwatch.org/11Ind/index.html
It includes Oprah Winfrey and Dr. Andrew Weil.
You might notice, though, that this “list of quacks” includes Weston Price — whom *I* certainly don’t think of as a quack! How ’bout you Jimmie?! I don’t know anything about this guy — haven’t even listened to the podcast yet, but checked the site out.
Until some info is forthcoming about who this site’s owner is, and on what the bases he declares all these folks quacks, I’m withholding judgment: after all, all the “regular” medical folks think low carb is dangerous!
Don’t buy the attack until you investigate the attacker, eh?
I didn’t personally agree with everything Brian shared in this interview, but I think he’s hardly a “quack.” Yes, he’s quite the talker and you can tell these subjects are near and dear to him. You can’t squash passion like that.
For that matter, I’ve been called worse than a “quack” and yet I believe everyone with a voice to share deserves a chance to be heard. Take what you can from anyone and add to your knowledge. That’s how we educate ourselves best.

There is a counterpoint to the Quackwatch website at http://www.quackpotwatch.org. Go and read the opposite view of Quackwatch and make up your own mind. I would not value the opinion of someone who thinks Weston Price was a quack.
Is he still a professor, or was he an adjunct professor for one year only (1988-1999)? Once a professor, always a professor? Unclear to me on his website. Way to much bold and exclamation there for my taste. Much detail is provided about his zero calcium heart scan score, except the most critical detail — percentile compared to the population. Jimmy, you have had a calcium score heart scan, as have I. I seem to recall that a zero score is no great feat, as 75% of 50-year-old men will have a zero score. Am I close?
