I'll try to find any references for Warburg's research on this. Anything on this.
Between constant low O2 Blood levels (High 70's low 80's), constant level of 'dehydration' (really hard to stay well hydrated at altitude), and constant overall system stress, the arrived at supposition is that the period at high altitude was not casual, but precipitated the explosive tumor growth.
...wasn't planning to go this far into this part of conversation, but I appreciate all the info. Will help to keep me 'real' on what might be possible... We'll see this summer.
Anyway, it would be a great thing to have metrics which can benchmark systemic conditions, for cycling.
Ride on
