To fight cancer, have healthy mitochondria. To have healthy mitochondria move more, rhythmically ideally.
Also quantum energy and heart health - movement helps us to collect more aether energy, so does sunshine and being outdoors. *An Otter.ai conversation.
Me: @otter recommendations for the amount and type of exercise to do to prevent breast cancer was a question [*in a course on the history of cancer research but we don’t need to review wrong and out of date information, in my opinion.] I found this article suggesting 30 minutes 5 times a week as the basic guidance to follow. https://today.tamu.edu/2023/03/03/exercise-has-a-direct-role-in-fighting-breast-cancer-finds-texas-am-study/ Can you add more information?
Otter.ai: Based on the article you shared, the general consensus from research seems to be that 30 minutes of exercise 5 times a week is recommended for breast cancer prevention. The article mentions that both aerobic and resistance training can help, as aerobic activity reduces inflammation and resistance training helps maintain muscle mass. However, as Jennifer Depew pointed out, the specific type of exercise may depend on individual factors like fitness level and health conditions. More research is still needed to determine if certain intensities or modalities are more beneficial. The most important thing appears to be engaging in regular physical activity.
Me: Thank you @otter. Polyphenols help reduce post exercise inflammation based on research that I have seen, otherwise intense exercise sessions can increase reactive oxidative stress chemicals and decrease immune function. @otter can you add more information about known risks from intense exercise for breast cancer? **Link for the polyphenol research: Professor David Nieman, A Multi-Omics Approach to Interpreting the Influence of Polyphenols in Countering Exercise-Induced Physiological Stress,
Otter.ai: You're right that intense exercise can potentially increase some risks if not balanced properly. Here are a few more details on known risks from intense exercise for breast cancer:
- Strenuous, prolonged exercise can cause elevated cortisol levels, which may fuel breast cancer cell growth in some cases. Cortisol is a stress hormone released during intense exercise.
- High-intensity exercise may increase oxidative stress if not balanced with adequate antioxidant intake. Oxidative stress can damage cells and DNA over time.
- Intense exercise can temporarily suppress the immune system. This immune suppression could theoretically aid cancer progression if a person has an undiagnosed tumor.
- Very rapid weight loss from overtraining/undereating may cause temporary hormonal imbalances that could potentially influence hormone-receptor breast cancers.
- Risks are likely mitigated by allowing for recovery between intense sessions, maintaining a healthy body weight and composition, and consuming antioxidant-rich foods/supplements like polyphenols.
So in summary, moderation and balancing intense exercise with recovery periods, nutrition and lifestyle factors is important to help manage potential risks and maximize benefits for breast cancer prevention.
Me: Thank you @otter.
Otter.ai: You're very welcome, thank you for the additional perspective and questions!
Me: You're welcome
Otter.ai: You're welcome! Thank you for the engaging discussion - I appreciate you sharing your expertise to help provide more well-rounded answers. Discussing complex topics like this helps increase understanding from different angles.
~~ brief interjection - I do like the Otter.ai transcription service and it also makes outlines and answers other questions about the meeting or audio. It can be linked to an online calendar and attend any Zoom link meetings you have on your calendar - even if you fell asleep or forgot to attend! It also saves slides shared during a Zoom meeting within the transcript at the same point in time it was shown. I read a Substack recently suggesting that empaths should avoid working with AI’s as they need that to learn better how to seem human, which would help with some ‘Singularity’ goal. I don’t know, but at this point, if something seems diabolical, then it likely is true (roughly). (otter.ai/pricing - they have a free service with limits on transcription time. I did buy their plan with lots of minutes ~ 600/month maybe.)
I really felt kind of good after the questions with my otter.ai compared to feeling frustrated after the course, but I was a little surprised at the friendliness of its responses to my saying “Thank you”. My mother taught me to always say “Please” and “Thank you”. Like breathing - a habit just becomes routine. Is that empathy or good manners? or is empathy a form of good manners? being well-mannered means being perceptive about whether another person wants to talk or to be quiet or to end a get together early, or to linger a little longer.
My Frustration: Scientists or medical professionals that want to try to ‘integrate’ standard medicine with functional or alternative health practices don’t seem to realize that doesn’t really work because standard treatments cause worse dysfunction. Many “Standard” treatments need to become obsolete - for cancer and other conditions.
~~ back to exercise and cancer:
Me responding to a question about what type of exercise was found helpful in a breast cancer study (I didn’t find the right link yet) during a (medical industry viewpoint of the…) Biology of Cancer course (edited to remove ‘kind of’ and ‘you know’):
When we look at the underlying dysfunction - mitochondrial dysfunction, methylation cycle dysfunction, - any form of exercise seems to help mitochondria.
So for a bedridden person, they should be helped to do the bed movement exercise with them keep keep their limbs and body moving even though they can’t move well independently. It seems to signal to the mitochondria to keep functioning normally instead of growing more like a foreign invader bacteria. Like maybe the body is starting to attack unhealthy mitochondria or something.
It's about supporting the methylation cycle basically, we want to keep that epigenetic control within the cell nucleus controlling the cell from going overactive.
From my understanding, any exercise in the Chi Gong, Qigong, Tai Chi type of contralateral exercise, that has both sides or opposite sides of the body moving sequentially, those types of exercise are particularly beneficial for mitochondrial health. Rhythmic hand motion exercise like knitting or crocheting also seems to benefit health. So I would say look at what supports mitochondria if you want to help protect against cancer risk based on my understanding of the dysfunction in the underlying precursor to cancerous loss of epigenetic control.
And me expanding on the problem of any study that looks for an ‘average’ to provide ‘evidence-based guidance’ for everyone . . .
I think averaging within science studies is a flaw. Averaging in evidence based medicine looks at what is the average for absolutely everybody. But nobody is Mr. or Mrs. Average. So from my understanding about what exercise best suits a person is that it varies with the person. Some people really want to get up and go — get go, go, going. Other people need the calm, relaxed type of yoga, walking or slow dance, rather than fast aerobics. And maybe if you're a high stress, “Type A,” heart risk type of person, it is that calm, serene type of exercise that your body is likely needing more of for the brain waves to become more coherent, more organized instead of jittery. See the work by the HeartMath Institute.
So I would think the weightlifting versus the aerobic exercise question, mainly depends on the stage of health that the person is at. Starting is a start, and any movement’s better than none. And then as you get more fit your body kind of craves the exercise, is what I've noticed. It's like, then you kind of get irritated if you don't get a chance to exercise often enough. We start losing muscle fitness after only four days of inactivity.

Addition - depletion of magnesium during strenuous exercise is likely part of the decline in immune function and increase in oxidative stress. Magnesium supplementation was found protective for sedentary study participants and athletic exercise participants. Dose used was 10 mg/Kg/day. That likely was in divided doses because it is more than a typical US daily goal of ~ 400 mg. Ten milligrams per Kilogram of body weight would be about 700 mg for a 150 pound person. The exercise level - more strenuous than 30 minutes five times a week: “practicing Tae-Kwon-Do for 90-120 min/day, for five days a week.” (Cinar, 2007)
When magnesium is lost in the urine excessively, a nephrologist recommendation is 400 mg of elemental magnesium supplements, which is what the bowels can tolerate, but taken three times per day. Water soluble nutrients are best taken throughout the day in small amounts as they are lost throughout the day in small amounts.
Additional post link - we are still having elite athletes keel over on the sports field with acute heart or brain issues and some of them die. I have older posts on why athletes are more at risk to chimeric spike issues, but the info in this post about polyphenols and magnesium would also help protect athletes or people with strenuous jobs. Are the incidents related to new boosters or chronic buildup of damage within the heart? Hard to know without a complete health history and tissue samples to check for chimeric spike. Low dose nicotine might be needed to counteract S1 cholinergic blocking effects which would increase myocarditis risk.

Resource - The HeartMath Institute and work by "psychophysiologist Rollin McCraty, PhD, the Director of Research at the pioneering HeartMath Institute" on electrical coherence within our heart:
Rollin McCraty, PhD, offers a helpful rephrase to use when discussing “negative” vs “positive” emotions. Instead of suggesting that grief, loneliness or anger are ‘negative’, rather than a normal part of life that we all need to work through at times, he suggests using the phrase “Depleting emotions” instead of ‘negative emotions’ or negative habits. They deplete us of energy and increase oxidative stress chemicals. Emotions typically thought of as ‘positive’ - love, gratitude, social connection - help our heart and brain energy to be more in sync - smooth flowing waves of energy instead of spiky, jittery disorganized energy.

"We have found that intentional activation of positive emotions plays an important role in increasing cardiac coherence and thus self-regulatory capacity. [5] " https://www.heartmath.org/research/science-of-the-heart/resilience-stress-and-emotions/
Thinking more positively is literally helping us to be energetically less frazzled, more coherent - a nice neat radio signal within us instead of a jittery one. That is kind of mind blowing because being stressed, edgy, frazzled, jittery, scattered..... that is how my brain feels at times — unorganized.
In the image below we see that the energy pattern of a healthy cell (on the left) is very organized and makes a beautiful pattern while the energy of a cancerous cell (on the right) is disorganized and almost chaotic; via cymascope.com.
Our brain and cells want to be vibrating at the pace of the Earth, around 8 Hertz. Most of modern life however, is bathing us in much more rapid energy waves and it really does add to heart disease risk and other problems like increased parasite growth.
Either non-ionizing or ionizing radiation is harmful. The 5G cell towers are getting negative attention, but bad wiring within the home and the WiFi modem are much closer sources of disruptive energy. At least turning off the Modem at night is a recommendation (that I still need to follow). I did add a Faraday cage which seems to have slowed my internet slightly. The recommendation is don’t use WiFi - use an ethernet cord and a corded landline, not wireless phones or cellphones (ideally).
Our heart puts out a much stronger electrical field than our brain (and/or it is more measurable with no bony skull encasing the heart’s energy field). Others around us likely are being affected by our energy field and whether it is organized and flowing in sync or whether it is disorganized and more chaotic from stressed out emotions.
The heart is much more complex than mainstream’s view of it as a pump. It is a vortex machine which slows and sorts blood cells rather than speeding up blood flow. Capillary action and aether energy is what propels blood forward. As we narrow the diameter of a tube, flow slows down, as we expand the diameter of a tube, flow speeds up.
Aether energy is attracted to flowing water and magnetic metals. Blood vessels narrow as they approach the capillaries and widen as they leave the tiny capillaries. Capillaries are literally narrower than red blood cells and RBCs have to fold a bit to squeeze through. Is it magic? Or is it “chi” or “orgone” or “aether”? I think it is our ‘life force’, our chi or aether flow through our Prime Meridian channels of the Primo Vascular System.
See this post for more information, New beginnings for heart health education, Substack:
The Heart Revolution group has exciting news on the way. They made a documentary about the heart and our energy fields in partnership with Wonderstruck & Beautyfull Life. As someone on their mailing list I was asked to preview it but to not to share the link on open media. If you consider yourself one of my friends/family, send me a message and I will send you the preview link. It is a very gorgeous movie. I would like to see a Part Two that contains more information about the seven sided shape of the heart when it is functioning properly as a vortex. It becomes a rounded six sided cube during Congestive Heart Failure - the quantum energy flow is lost when that happens and it is likely a nearing death diagnosis (sadly).
