Some thoughts on low body temp and cancer:
Warburg described oncogenesis as respiratory damage at the cellular level
leading to fermentation and thence cancerous state. Hypoxia was capable
of producing such respiratory damage.
Lower temperature would indicate lower metabolism, lower cellular
respiration and lower production of C02.
C02 is the feedback trigger for the breathing response.
Although a lower metabolism would require less oxygen it might set up a
hypoxic state which might contribute to a higher incidence of cancer.
Does this line of reasoning make any sense?
