Travis Christofferson, MS, is the author of Curable and Tripping Over the Truth and received his undergraduate degree in molecular biology from the Honors College at Montana State University and a master’s degree in material engineering and science from the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology. Today he is a full-time science writer and founder of a cancer charity. He lives in South Dakota.
"Travis Christofferson provides a compelling historical account of
how cancer has been misunderstood as a genetic disease when, in
fact, it is a type of metabolic disease. Unlike normal
cells, which obtain their energy from respiration, cancer cells
have damaged respiration and obtain much of their energy from the
primitive process of fermentation. Travis describes how
the mutations in tumors arise as an effect of respiratory damage
and cannot be the cause or drivers of cancer. The information
presented in Tripping over the Truth will have profound
consequences for how cancer is managed and
prevented. Metabolic therapies will be more effective
and less toxic than the current gene- or immune-based therapies and
have the potential to significantly improve quality of life and
long-term survival for millions of cancer patients
worldwide.”--Thomas N. Seyfried, PhD, author of Cancer as a
Metabolic Disease
“I absolutely loved Dr. Seyfried’s book, Cancer as
a Metabolic Disease, and Dr. Mukherjee’s book, The
Emperor of all Maladies, but it was difficult to get my
patients to read these two books to understand the history of
cancer and the cancer industry, not to mention the movement from
the somatic to the metabolic theory of cancer, both intimidating
subjects. Then, along came Travis Christofferson’s brilliant,
timely, and expertly consolidated book. It reads like a novel
and is easy to comprehend for everyone interested in the new
conversation around cancer and cancer care. I recommend it to
patients, family, friends, and colleagues and refer back to it
often.”--Dr. Nasha Winters, ND, coauthor of The Metabolic
Approach to Cancer
“Phenomenal…required reading for anyone who has cancer or knows
someone who has cancer…I cannot stress its importance enough. Get
yourself a copy, and read it.”--Dr. Joseph Mercola, founder and
director, mercola.com
“The author takes us on over a hundred-year exciting journey of the
research to understand and eradicate this disease…This is a great
scientific mystery book…This book is for everyone, but should be
read by all physicians that treat cancer. I congratulate the author
for a marvelous job and highly recommend this book.”--Robert L.
Elliot, MD, PhD
“An iconoclastic, information-rich narrative that boldly challenges
our current understanding and treatment of cancer. Christofferson
persuasively argues and documents why a restricted calorie, high
(good) fat diet should at least be considered for most
malignancies. An absolute must-read to understand the history and
evolution of present day cancer therapy.”--Joseph C. Maroon, MD,
Author of The Longevity Factor
