Enhanced amyloidogenic processing of APP
by the ß - site APP cleaving enzyme (BACE) and the γ - secretase complex and reduced clearance lead to increased intracellular levels of soluble oligomeric Aß, resulting in cellular
dysfunction comprising e.g., synaptic failure,
mitochondrial dysfunction, enhanced oxidative stress, neurotransmitter and neurotrophin depletion, inflammation, and apoptosis which is reflected in patients as clinical symptoms such as cognitive deficits [2, 3].

We show signs of weak immune systems (variations of primary immunodeficiency, CVID), and «extra» allergies and sensitivities (now known to be mostly from a newly and thus still poorly recognized widespread mast cell activation disease called MCAS, ICD - 10 code coming October 2016, read «Never Bet Against Occam»

Viewing cancer as a metabolic disease — opposed to a disease of damaged DNA, which is a downstream effect of
mitochondrial dysfunction — gives us the power to control this
dysfunction by carefully choosing foods and nutrients and employing strategies that help optimize the biochemical pathways that suppress cancer growth while simultaneously stimulating mechanisms to push it into remission.
