Treatments
Clinics/Hospitals do a mixture or integrative and holistic treatments.
The goal is to build up your immune system, so your own immune system can fight it off naturally, while also getting at the cancer cells so that it does not come back.
Top facilities offer individualized treatment programs.

Oxidation, Oxidative stress and slows cell damage helps with neogenesis.
ALA is a powerful antioxidant essential for aerobic metabolism. Although the body can synthesize ALA, the molecule can also be absorbed from nutritional supplements. It has been reported that ALA alone exhibits anti-cancer effects. It has been reported that ALA reduced cell viability/proliferation as well as lactate production, and increased apoptosis in neuroblastoma and breast cancer cell lines. The molecule has also been proven to suppress STAT3-mediated MUC4 expression in a gastric cancer cell line. Moreover, ALA had much stronger anti-cancer effects when it was combined with chemotherapeutic agents or RT. In colorectal cancer cells, ALA enhanced the cytotoxic effect of 5-fluorouracil. Pretreatment with ALA prevented RT-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition by inhibiting radiation-induced transforming growth factor β signaling and nuclear translocation of NF-κB in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells. The evidence suggests that ALA not only is cytotoxic to cancer cells but also acts as a cancer radiation sensitizer while protecting normal tissues. However, the mechanism by which ALA sensitizes cancer cells to RT remains largely unexplored. The current study is the first report showing a new mode of action (senescence induction) of ALA beyond apoptotic cell death in RT-resistant breast cancer cells.

A small quantity of cyanided causes apoptosis, which is triggered by amygdalin, a natural cancer fighter. Cancer Prostate, cervical, breast, bladder, lung and kidney
Cancer rates are increasing, and cancer is one of the main causes of death worldwide. Amygdalin, also known as vitamin B17 (and laetrile, a synthetic compound), is a cyanogenic glycoside compound that is mainly found in the kernels and pulps of fruits. This compound has been proposed for decades as a promising naturally occurring substance which may provide anticancer effects. This is a comprehensive review which critically summarizes and scrutinizes the available studies exploring the anticancer effect of amygdalin, highlighting its potential anticancer molecular mechanisms as well as the need for a nontoxic formulation of this substance. In-depth research was performed using the most accurate scientific databases, e.g., PubMed, Cochrane, Embase, Medline, Scopus, and Web of Science, applying effective, characteristic, and relevant keywords. There are several pieces of evidence to support the idea that amygdalin can exert anticancer effects against lung, breast, prostate, colorectal, cervical, and gastrointestinal cancers. Amygdalin has been reported to induce apoptosis of cancer cells, inhibiting cancer cells’ proliferation and slowing down tumor metastatic spread.

The process of programmed cell death, known as apoptosis, is crucial for healthy development but can be
interfered with in cancer: Cancer Because they frequently avoid apoptosis, cancer cells are able to persist and proliferate unchecked. This is a defining feature of cancer that can result in tumors, cancerous cells, and metastases. Apoptosis-targeting
therapies include By regulating apoptosis, certain dietary substances, such as sulforaphane, resveratrol, and curcumin, may help prevent cancer.
Apoptosis: A Target for Anticancer Therapy Targeting the apoptotic pathway is an intriguing approach to finding new anticancer therapies as it is nonspecific to cancer type. There are numerous mutations found in both extrinsic and intrinsic pathways in cancer, allowingthe cells to evade apoptosis which is a hallmark of cancer. The ability to target and activate an apoptotic pathway would provide a more universal cancer therapy. Particularly promising compounds to trigger apoptosis are many plant-derived compounds that are additionally nontoxic to healthy cells.

Artemisinin is a compound derived from the plant Artemisia annua, commonly known as sweet wormwood. It is most well-known for its use as an antimalarial drug, but research over the last two decades has also investigated its potential role in cancer treatment. Some studies suggest that artemisinin and its derivatives might have anti-cancer properties, particularly through their ability to selectively target and kill cancer cells while leaving normal cells relatively unharmed
The expanding body of research on artemisinin and its derivatives in cancer treatment shows promising results in a wide variety of cancers, including breast, prostate, lung, ovarian, colon, leukemia, liver, melanoma, bladder, gastric, cervical, glioma, renal, esophageal, head and neck, and oral cancers.
The selective targeting of cancer cells, induction of apoptosis, reduction of metastasis, and potential for synergistic effects with conventional treatments like chemotherapy and radiation make artemisinin a potentially valuable adjunct therapy for various types of cancer. However, clinical trialsare still needed to confirm its effectiveness and safety in human cancer patients.
As with any complementary or alternative treatment, cancer patients should always consult with their oncologists or healthcare providers before incorporating artemisinin into their treatment regimen.

Improving cardiovascular health, reducing inflammation, and enhancing neurological function can be achieved through treatment for lead exposure, cardiotoxic metals, oxidative vascular damage, and heavy metal poisoning.
We have investigated whether EDTA, a calcium chelator, could improve the accumulation of platinum in tumors and enhance the antitumor efficacy by increasing drug diffusion through the extracellular tumor matrix. Intratumoral injection of 0.3 mg/kg cisplatin combined with 10 mg/ml EDTA in 2 ml saline serum led to tumor cure in four of eight rats and produced major tumor regression in the other animals. In contrast, intratumoral injection of cisplatin alone or EDTA alone had no antitumoral effect. EDTA increased platinum accumulation both in vivo and ex vivo in the PROb tumors. EDTA alone was cytotoxic at a concentration of 10 mg/ml, but neither increased platinum accumulation nor cisplatin toxicity on cultured PROb colonic cancer cells. We conclude that EDTA could be a useful and well-tolerated adjuvant for enhancing intratumoral cisplatin chemotherapy.

A tiny molecule known as dichloroacetate, or DCA, has demonstrated promise in the treatment of cancer. When given intravenously, DCA targets cancer cells and causes them to self-destruct. Clinical trials have demonstrated the potential of DCA as an alternative cancer treatment. Mutant forms of the protein p53 allow cancer cells to proliferate and divide unchecked. By reestablishing p53 function, DCA can kill cancer cells. Breast, lung, and colon cancer are among the many cancers that DCA has been demonstrated to be effective against. In general, DCA is well tolerated.
Dichloroacetate (DCA) and Cancer: An Overview towards Clinical Applications
Coadministration of DCA and traditional chemotherapeutic agents has been purposed and tested in several cancer models. DCA treatment seems to improve the efficacy of chemotherapy by inducing biochemical and metabolic alterations, resulting in significant changes of cancer cells' energetic balance.

for more than a century, glandular therapy has been used as an alternative cancer treatment, and as more people look for alternative treatments, its use has become more and more popular in recent years. The way glandular therapy functions is by boosting the immune system and giving the body essential nutrients that cancer patients lack. Studies reveal that patients with advanced cancer who received glandular therapy saw a notable improvement in their quality of life. Glandular therapy is usually administered intravenously. Usually, glandular therapy is used in conjunction with other cancer treatments as a supplemental measure.

Glutathione is a small protein that is found in every cell of the human body. It is made up of three amino acids: glutamic acid, cysteine, and glycine. Glutathione is involved in many important functions in the body, including detoxification, immune system function, and cellular repair. Intravenous glutathione therapy allows the body to absorb a higher level of glutathione than it would if the amino acid were taken orally. Glutathione has been shown to kill cancer cells by inducing apoptosis (cell death). In addition, glutathione therapy can help to improve quality of life for cancer patients by reducing fatigue and improving cognitive function. Glutathione therapy is generally well-tolerated, with few side effects reported.
Role of Glutathione in Cancer Progression and Chemo resistance
Glutathione (GSH) plays an important role in a multitude of cellular processes, including cell differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis, and disturbances in GSH homeostasis are involved in the etiology and progression of many human diseases including cancer.

Green tea contains a catechin called epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), which has been demonstrated to have strong anti-cancer effects. Studies have indicated that EGCG can prevent the growth andmetastasis of cancer cells in a number of cancer types, such as lung, breast, prostate, and colon cancer. EGCGpromotes cancer cell apoptosis, or programmed cell death, by blocking the activity of enzymes that aid in the development and metastasis of cancer cells. EGCG is a promising adjunct therapy for cancer patients, as it has also been demonstrated to increase the efficacy of radiation and chemotherapy.
Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) Is the Most Effective Cancer Chemo preventive Polyphenol in Green Tea
In this study, we evaluated the chemo preventive effects of 10 tea polyphenols on human colorectal cancer cells. Many tested tea polyphenols exert dose-dependent antiproliferative effects, and EGCG showed the most potent activities. Cell cycle arrest and apoptosis induction may play an important role in EGCG-induced cancer cell death. Structure-activity relationship analysis showed that if gallic acid is esterified with catechins, their anticancer activities increased significantly. Molecular dynamics assay on EGCG suggested that two close parallel aromatic rings and a third aromatic ring vertical to the two parallel rings may play a key role in the pharmacophore activity. Data from this study supplied new clues for future semi-synthesis of tea catechin derivatives to develop novel anticancer agents

Hematogenous Oxidation Therapy (H.O.T.) is a form of treatment that involves the infusion of ozone or oxygen into a patient’s blood to stimulate the immune system, improve oxygenation, reduce inflammation, and promote detoxification. While H.O.T. is used more frequently for general health improvement and chronic conditions, some proponents suggest it may offer benefits for cancer patients as an adjunctive therapy.
There are certain types of cancer that may potentially benefit from H.O.T. based on the general principles of the therapy and how it could support overall cancer treatment. These types of cancer typically have characteristics that align well with the benefits of H.O.T., such as poor oxygenation, high levels of inflammation, or immune system challenges.
Types of Cancer That May Benefit from H.O.T.:
1. Solid Tumors
Solid tumors, which are localized growths of cancerous cells that form masses in specific organs, could benefit from H.O.T. due to the following reasons:
Poor Oxygenation: Many solid tumors are hypoxic (low in oxygen), which can make them more resistant to treatments like radiation therapy. H.O.T., which increases the oxygen content in the blood, could help improve oxygenation of these tumors, potentially making them more responsive to radiation therapy.
Oxygen Sensitivity: Tumors that are better oxygenated are generally more susceptible to radiation therapy, which relies on oxygen to generate reactive oxygen species that damage cancer cells.
Examples of solid tumors that could benefit from H.O.T.:
Breast cancer
Lung cancer
Prostate cancer
Colorectal cancer
Pancreatic cancer
Head and neck cancers
Esophageal cancer
2. Cancers with High Inflammation
Cancer is often associated with chronic inflammation, which contributes to tumor growth, metastasis (spread), and resistance to treatment. Since H.O.T. may help reduce systemic inflammation by promoting the production of anti-inflammatory cytokines, cancers with high levels of inflammation could potentially benefit from its use.
Examples of cancers with inflammation that could benefit from H.O.T.:
Colon cancer (which is often linked to chronic inflammation from conditions like inflammatory bowel disease)
Liver cancer (which can be related to chronic inflammation due to liver cirrhosis or viral infections)
Pancreatic cancer (which is often associated with a highly inflammatory microenvironment)
Head and neck cancers (where inflammation is a significant factor in tumor growth and pain)
3. Cancers that Compromise the Immune System
Cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation can weaken the immune system, leaving patients vulnerable to infections and reducing the body's ability to fight cancer cells. H.O.T. is thought to stimulate the immune system, activating T-cells, macrophages, and natural killer cells, which are critical for identifying and attacking abnormal cells, including cancer cells.
Examples of cancers that may benefit from immune system stimulation:
Leukemia (especially types like acute myeloid leukemia or chronic lymphocytic leukemia, where immune system function is already compromised)
Lymphomas (such as Hodgkin lymphoma or non-Hodgkin lymphoma, which directly affect immune cells)
Breast cancer (in cases where chemotherapy or radiation may suppress immune response)
4. Cancers That Benefit from Improved Oxygenation
Many tumors thrive in low-oxygen environments (hypoxia), which can lead to tumor growth, aggressiveness, and resistance to treatments like radiation and chemotherapy. By improving oxygenation through H.O.T., tumors could become more sensitive to these treatments, potentially increasing their effectiveness.
Examples of cancers that could benefit from oxygenation support:
Glioblastoma (a type of brain tumor known for its hypoxic microenvironment)
Ovarian cancer (which often develops hypoxic regions within tumors)
Lung cancer (especially non-small cell lung cancer, which can develop areas of low oxygen)
Cervical cancer (which often involves tumors that are poorly oxygenated)
5. Advanced or Metastatic Cancers
For cancers that have advanced or metastasized (spread to other parts of the body), H.O.T. may provide supportive care to improve the effectiveness of ongoing treatments. Metastatic cancer is often more difficult to treat because of its spread and the development of drug resistance. H.O.T. could assist in improving oxygenation, immune function, and reducing inflammation, which might enhance the efficacy of chemotherapy or radiation.
Examples of advanced or metastatic cancers that could benefit from H.O.T.:
Metastatic breast cancer
Metastatic lung cancer
Metastatic prostate cancer
Metastatic melanoma
Advanced colorectal cancer
Metastatic liver cancer
How H.O.T. Can Support Cancer Treatment in These Cases:
Oxygenation: H.O.T. helps improve the delivery of oxygen to tissues, which is particularly important in tumors with poor oxygenation. Oxygenation can help make treatments like radiation therapy more effective by increasing tumor sensitivity.
Immune System Boost: By stimulating immune function, H.O.T. may help the body better recognize and fight cancer cells, especially after treatments like chemotherapy or radiation, which can suppress immune function.
Reduction in Inflammation: H.O.T. may reduce inflammation in cancer patients, potentially slowing tumor growth and reducing pain and discomfort.
Detoxification: H.O.T. may help eliminate toxins that build up from chemotherapy or the tumor itself, reducing side effects and improving overall health.
In conclusion, H.O.T. may offer potential benefits in improving oxygenation, immune response, and quality of life for patients with a variety of cancers, particularly those with solid tumors, inflammatory profiles, or compromised immune systems.

A patient's appetite, energy levels, and general constitution are frequently negatively impacted by cancer and its treatment, which can be exhausting. Cancer patients frequently suffer from malnutrition as a result. Furthermore, cancer treatments may impair the body's capacity to absorb nutrients from food. The effectiveness of a personalized, prescribed nutritional supplement regimen becomes apparent at that point. Supplements can help increase calorie intake, and vitamins and minerals can help restore nutrient levels. Supplemental nutrition can significantly improve everyday living and quality of life for the majority of cancer patients.
Nutrition and cancer: A review of the evidence for an anti-cancer diet

Fruits and vegetables include the flavonoid subgroup of flavanols known as quercetin (Que; 3,5,7,3,4’-pentahydroxy flavonoids). This substance has numerous biological effects including anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and antioxidant effects. In addition, it revealed anti-cancer effects on cancer cells by regulating a number of molecular factors involved in signaling pathways, such as PI3K/Akt/mTOR, Wnt/β-catenin, and MAPK/ERK1. Quercetin increases apoptosis and autophagy in cancer by activating caspase-3, inhibiting the phosphorylation of Akt, mTOR, and ERK, lessening β-catenin, and stabilizing the stabilization of HIF-1α. In addition, by reducing MMP and VEGF secretion, it inhibits cancer cell metastasis. Additionally, this compound leads to cancer cells apoptosis by decreasing bioenergy and targeting mitochondria.

Research has demonstrated the potent anti-cancer effects of silymarin, a compound present in milk thistle. Studies have shown that silymarin can both stop the growth and spread of cancer cells and cause cancer cells to undergo programmed cell death, or apoptosis. By disrupting several cellular signaling pathways implicated in the initiation and spread of cancer, silymarin has demonstrated efficacy in the treatment of a number of cancers, including those of the breast, prostate, colon, and lung.
Silymarin, a flavonolignan from milk thistle (Silybum marianum) plant, is used for the protection against various liver conditions in both clinical settings and experimental models. In this review, we summarize the recent investigations and mechanistic studies regarding possible molecular targets of silymarin for cancer prevention. Number of studies has established the cancer chemo preventive role of silymarin in both in vivo and in vitro models. Silymarin modulates imbalance between cell survival and apoptosis through interference with the expressions of cell cycle regulators and proteins involved in apoptosis. In addition, silymarin also showed anti-inflammatory as well as anti-metastatic activity.

Does Baking Soda Function as a Magic Bullet for Patients With Cancer? A Mini Review The distinctive metabolic mode of solid tumors leads to acidity in the tumor microenvironment, which results in the activation of multiple factors contributing to tumor development. The most direct method to conquer the acidity is neutralization. Several in vivo experiments have revealed potential anticancer effects of sodium bicarbonate alone or in combination with other therapies. The use of TILA-TACE has confirmed that local application potentially represents an ideal administration method, and the combination of sodium bicarbonate with other anticancer therapies might be more effective.

Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and cauliflower contain a compound called sulforaphane, which has been demonstrated to have strong anti-cancer effects. Studies have shown that sulforaphane can stopcancer cells from growing and spreading in a number of cancers, such as lung, breast, prostate, and colon cancer. Sulforaphane lowers the risk of developing cancer by triggering a cellular pathway that aids in the detoxification of carcinogens and other dangerous substances. Sulforaphane is a promising adjunct therapy for cancer patients because it has also been demonstrated to increase the efficacy of radiation and chemotherapy.
Sulforaphane: An emergent anti-cancer stem cell agent Plant-derived compounds, including ITCs, represent important sources of chemo preventive and anticancer agents. The naturally occurring product SFN can prevent tumor establishment in vitro and in vivo by modulating a variety of biological processes such as enzymatic detoxification of carcinogens, oxidative stress, cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, and EMT. Importantly, several studies have shown the ability of SFN to target CSCs in different cancer types, highlighting the impact of this nutraceutical in preventing drug resistance, metastasis, and tumor relapse. Furthermore, the combination of SFN with other natural compounds and cytotoxic drugs have shown promising results. Therefore, the chemo preventive, anticancer and anti-CSCs potential of SFN and its use as a co-adjuvant agent deserves further clinical investigation.
