I mean it in good faith, and I am just trying to challenge how throwing out the dna paradigm explains things better. I agree that metabolism plays an important role in cancer, and we don’t fully understand it. But, I take issue with your original claim that the current paradigm is wrong because it explains things that I have personally seen in the lab when I did lab workup, in my clinical work and in my family members who have cancer and are being treated with medications that work.

As to the atp issue, yes it is involved with metabolism but so so much more. If you have time read The Biology if Cancer by R A Weinberg. He does a good job of exploring the historical investigations as wellas the science.
