Nut Consumption, Diabetes, Cancer and Father of Oncology. Nuts and seeds contain natural fats as well as high levels of iron. Hemochromatosis is a common inherited disorder in which the body absorbs and stores abnormally high amounts of iron. Excess iron is stored [asymptomatically] in body tissues and patient can get type 2 diabetes, type 1 diabetes or/and cancer (liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, brain cancer), the Father of Oncology says. Cancer is a disease of iron-overloaded cells. Primary tumors always develop at body sites of excessive iron deposits. Such deposits can be inherited or acquired. Cancer patients are born with strong cancer genes (iron-overloaded genes) and weak anticancer genes (iron-deficiency genes). Direct intratumoral injections of iron-deficiency agents (ceramic needles) are needed when tumors and metastases cannot be removed with surgery (ceramic blades).
