Alternative Treatments
High-Dose Vitamin C for Cancer Treatment
High-dose Vitamin C treatment for cancer is an experimental therapy that involves administering large doses of vitamin C, typically through intravenous (IV) infusion, to achieve plasma concentrations far beyond what is possible with oral intake. This approach stems from research suggesting that, at high levels, vitamin C can act as a pro-oxidant, generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) that selectively target cancer cells while sparing normal tissues.
Graviola (Soursop) for Cancer Treatment
Graviola, also known as Soursop (Annona muricata), is a tropical fruit widely used in traditional medicine and increasingly studied for its potential anticancer properties. The plant contains compounds called acetogenins, which have demonstrated anticancer effects in laboratory studies. These compounds may help reduce the growth of cancer cells and induce cell death in types such as breast, colon, prostate, pancreatic, and lung cancer. This evidence comes from in vitro, animal studies, and clinical trials in humans.
Curcumin and Bioperine as Cancer Treatment
Curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, has demonstrated significant potential in cancer treatment due to its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-cancer properties.
Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) for Cancer Treatment
Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is a natural compound found primarily in green tea (Camellia sinensis) and is part of a group of polyphenolic antioxidants known as catechins. It has gained attention for its potential health benefits, including its effects on cancer prevention and treatment. While research is still ongoing, EGCG shows promise in cancer therapy due to its various biological activities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer properties.
Vitamin D Used in Cancer Treatment
Vitamin D is known for its role in bone health and calcium metabolism, but recent research has also focused on its potential in cancer prevention and treatment. The active form of vitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (calcitriol), has been studied for its effects on various types of cancer. Studies suggest that vitamin D may help apoptosis (programmed cell death), stop cancer cell growth, metastasis, and immune function. This shows the potential for Vitamin D to be used as an adjunct therapy in cancer treatment.
