Hi, I’m Mark, author of the Cell Suppression Theory of cancer. To be clear, I never intended to write a new theory. After being diagnosed with a rare sarcoma, I just wanted to understand the role of DNA mutations and lower my risk of recurrence. But when a close friend was later diagnosed, everything changed.

What began as personal research led to an unexpected discovery - and a troubling realization: our well-meaning clinicians are struggling to treat the disease effectively because the established theory on which conventional treatments are developed, is potentially incorrect - meaning, our clinicians may unwittingly be targeting the wrong feature of the disease.

With that said, the Cell Suppression Theory is the first to provide a plausible explanation for how natural compounds selectively kill cancer cells - and the first to account for all 10 cancer hallmarks rendering it the most accurate cancer theory currently available. This breakthrough could offer patients a deeper understanding of cancer and potentially lead to better treatment outcomes. The only way to effectively treat any disease, is to successfully identify it's origin.

Though I’m don't have a formal medical education, my background in graphic design gave me the tools to think creatively and question many assumptions that appear to be hindering progress. In design, we’re trained to discard first ideas, embrace failure, and solve complex problems with fresh thinking. This mindset helped me break free from conventional constraints and explore new possibilities.

My journey - from curious outsider to award-winning author and speaker - shows that a creative, objective, evidence-based approach to problem solving can lead to groundbreaking insights. The beauty of my humble background meant that I was uniquely placed to translate my theory, and the science of cancer, in everyday language to make it accessible to all, because understanding cancer shouldn't be limited to scientists. Sometimes, seeing through a different lens makes all the difference.

While cancer is commonly presented as a genetic disease, recent scientific data suggests this view may be flawed - something every patient should know before choosing a treatment path.

Through my research, I discovered at least seven competing theories of cancer. None of which, including the widely accepted DNA theory, could fully explain all 10 of the Hanahan and Weinberg Hallmarks - the key benchmarks for assessing the validity/accuracy of any cancer theory. This means the true cause of cancer remains unknown. Since treatments are based on these unproven theories, it’s important to examine each one and its related therapies carefully. The more accurate the theory, the more effective its treatment is likely to be.

Recognizing these gaps, many are turning to complementary and alternative therapies. Some individuals, like Dr. Nasha Winters, Professor Ben Williams, and Jane McLelland, have survived terminal diagnoses using such approaches and have become pioneers progressing our understanding despite a confusing level of resistance from conventional scientists and clinicians. While I can partly understand this resistance - pre-clinical evidence is not sufficient, human clinical trials are needed - and while there appears to be abundant anecdotal evidence supporting alternative and complementary approaches, the exact mechanisms that underpin these success stories remains unclear - seeding doubt and skepticism. This uncertainty drove me to develop a theory that offers a clearer understanding that can directly benefit cancer patients by translating the science of cancer into simple understandable terms.

"I think this piece of work is going to be landmark in terms of how we understand and deal with cancer, it's up there with Jane McLelland's work and Professor Seyfried's Metabolic Theory."
