Cancer treatments can be physically demanding, but innovative therapies like Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) and High-dose vitamin C IV offer new ways to enhance patient outcomes. These therapies, when used alongside conventional treatments, improve the body’s ability to fight cancer while mitigating the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation.
The Role of HBOT in Combating Tumor Hypoxia
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) significantly increases oxygen levels by delivering pure oxygen at higher atmospheric pressure. This therapy directly addresses tumor hypoxia by boosting the oxygen partial pressure in tissues, including tumors. By increasing oxygenation, HBOT can suppress tumor progression and restore the effectiveness of chemotherapy and radiation therapies.
Studies show that tumors under hypoxic conditions are often more aggressive and resistant to treatment, leading to poorer outcomes. HBOT reverses these conditions by flooding the tumor microenvironment with oxygen, making cancer cells more vulnerable to chemotherapy and radiation. This dual approach improves survival rates and can reduce the side effects of conventional therapies.
High-Dose Vitamin C IV: A Targeted Cancer Weapon
At pharmacologic levels, high-dose vitamin C becomes a pro-oxidant, selectively producing hydrogen peroxide to attack cancer cells without harming normal cells. Research suggests that this therapy reduces inflammation, alleviates fatigue, and increases the sensitivity of cancer cells to chemotherapy, lowering drug resistance and side effects.
