Major Breakthrough Cancer Cures

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Since cancer cells thrive in a low-oxygen environment, many are utilizing the effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). This therapy essentially increases blood oxygen levels, helping the body overcome one of the key influences behind cancer growth. Originally developed for deep sea divers who suffer from the bends, this therapy has gained a lot of positive attention. An added benefit is the reduction of overall inflammation. If undergoing radiation therapy, for instance, hyperbaric oxygen therapy can help reduce inflammation throughout joints and tissues. It is recommended this therapy be used in combination with other treatment options, such as chemotherapy drugs or more ideally, a ketogenic diet, discussed next.

Ketogenic Diet

The ketogenic diet eliminates just about all carbohydrates, except for non-starchy vegetables. In turn, individuals replace these foods with high-quality protein sources and healthy fats. This is done because cancer cells thrive on glucose, and since carbohydratess turn into glucose within the body, the source must be eliminated. Low glucose levels will essentially starve cancer cells. Also, it is believed low protein intake accelerates the rates at which cancer cells multiply. Controlling blood-glucose leptin levels has been shown to reduce tumor size. Intermittent fasting is also a key component of this treatment, which essentially trains the human body to use fat as a fuel source without relying so much on glucose.
