Slowing Cancer & The Cancer Conflict

Slowing Cancer & The Cancer Conflict

Are there any natural cancer cures out there? What the heck is the abscopal effect? Should you pursue it? What is the goal of your treatment? How do you decide between treatment A versus treatment B? Are antioxidants always a good idea? Join us in this jam-packed episode where we discuss details on these topics and much, much more. 

In this episode, Tina & Leah discuss concepts behind some natural agents used in cancer care. 
Retractions of Dr. Bharat Aggarwal’s papers on Curcumin/Boswellia

High dose, intravenous vitamin C may improve outcomes for those with pancreatic cancer receiving radiotherapy

Example of a clinic in Germany that does whole-body therapies, including hyperthermia 

Antioxidants may encourage cancer cell survival, undermining treatments that kill cells via oxidation (example: radiation)  

High doses of some natural compounds (ex: curcumin) complement treatment through oxidation, not as antioxidants 

Possible interaction of curcumin with tamoxifen/endoxifen

Tamoxifen as a prodrug, and the interactions that may occur
