Like so many others, Al is strong in his belief that we can vastly improve the health of the world with educated choices, improved diet and lifestyle and natural nutritional support products like Poly-MVA.

This is only the second product-focused podcast in the Anti-Cancer Revolution Series which says a lot about how highly Ryan rates Poly-MVA, a unique Lipoic Acid Mineral Complex that is designed to provide energy for compromised body systems.

In this episode Ryan and Al put the spotlight on mitochondria, the critical role they play in helping the body heal itself, and why it’s so important that we support them. They take a deep dive into cell metabolism, oxygenation and inflammation and uncover how, in the right environment, these factors can turn a healthy cell into a cancer cell.

So tune in and discover for yourself what it is about Poly-MVA that makes it so well regarded by Ryan and many naturopathic doctors.

You represent a product, you're not a doctor

• CEO of Armac enterprises

We have seen each other at numerous conferences. If I recall one of them you were giving yourself IV PolyMVA...

• I practice what I preach!
• I live an anti-cancer life. It's easier to prevent than to treat or cure
• Mother passed away from cancer at 36, sister at 40 – it's in my epigenetics
• What got your Dad into making this product?
• His mother died in 1972. She went the conventional treatment route. Al’s father looked at different options but very short window, didn't have 'time' to implement alternative treatments
• Father moved to San Diago and met people in the integrative world
• Al’s sister Tina passed away and this was the driver for Al to begin working with his father and Poly-MVA

When I've heard you speak you focus on not just your product, but on helping people really understand what's going on

• Driven by desire to help and empower people
• How metabolism and mitochondria play a role
• Used to a system where you do as a the Doctor says
• With cancer your options are chemo, surgery or radiation. If that doesn't work, you die
• Common sense tells you there has to be more than that
• Al's goal is to be a 'bridge builder' between conventional and naturopathic sides of medicine

Tell us about the concept of metabolic medicine and how it ties into mitochondria and cancer

• With the flu you rest, take supplements, the immune system kicks in, body repairs itself, you're okay
• Cancer is a whole different scenario but the approach is the same – fatigue, body is trying to fight it
• • By not supporting mitocondria we're not helping the body heal itself

Is the concept about giving the immune system more energy to do its job?

• Yes, in its simplest terms
• Rest is how our body restores itself
• Metabolic protocols target the metabolism.
• Metabolism needs to be at its highest level so the immune system, liver, kidneys etc can draw down on it for energy

What specifically are we talking about with cellular metabolism and mitochondria?

• Mitochondria are the powerhouses of our cells. They provide the energy for them to function properly – repair, heal etc
• Trillions of mitochondria are required in our bodies just to keep us going
• Mitochondria have their own DNA
• When you have cancer your mitochondria become dysfunctional and they start utilizing sugar differently to healthy cells
• It’s more complex than simply avoiding sugar
• 1/3 of calories go to the brain, 1/3 to processing/digesting, 1/3 is left for the rest of the body
• Diet is critical for cancer patients in terms of how their body is able to fight cancer
• • Eat a low carb, high fibre, balanced amount of protein
  • The more natural the better

What's your take on cancer being a metabolic disease vs epigenetics?

• It's both, there's a synergy
• Epigentics and environment play a role, your genes play a role

What's the difference between anaerobic and aerobic respiration in terms of cancer cells using oxygen or no...
