Background: When I first dived into the supplements that could help fight cancer, one of those I came across was Zinc. I found a lot of literature indicating that Zinc would indeed represent an useful tool, but also found literature indicating that cancer cells may actually like Zinc. In line with this, there are holistic

Itraconazole: An Antifungal Drug With Anti Cancer Properties
Background: Itraconazole is a FDA approved drug, developed as an orally administrated antifungal drug, and has been used clinically for many decades with a well-established safety record. It has been used in the prevention and treatment of a broad range of fungal infections, such as aspergillosis, blastomycosis, candidiasis, histoplasmosis, but also in various dermatological and nail infections. Since

Omega-3 Fatty Acids, Budwig Diet & their Antitumor Activity
Summary: This is a long post so here is a short summary: Omega-3 fatty acids have anti-inflammatory, antiproliferative, proapoptotic, antiangiogenetic, anti-invasion, and antimetastatic properties. Because Omega-3 fatty acids are pushing out of the cancer cells the glutathione much needed for the cancer cell survival, Omega-3 fatty acids can be also combined with chemo and with that increase or enable chemo

Quercetin: even more anti-cancer potential than Curcumin?
How I learned about Quercetin’s potential: Sometime ago I had access to a number of chemosensitivity test results and performed some analysis on them. These chemosensitivity tests are performed by specialized laboratories and essentially consists in collecting blood from patients, capturing the circulating tumor cells and then exposing these tumor cells to various chemicals in

pH in Cancer & Tumor Acidification: A Top Treatment Strategy
Summary: pH and Cancer is an intensively discussed subject both in the alternative treatment arena and fortunately more and more in the scientific arena. In terms of treatments, when we speak about pH in cancer I am thinking of treatments involving e.g. the well known Sodium Bicarbonate, Cesium Chloride, Germanium, etc. I am also thinking of diets such

Discussion on Salinomycin Anti Cancer Mechanisms and Application
Like I said in one of my earlier post (Ref), so far I investigated many potentially anti cancer treatments and out of this Salinomycin stands out. This is because when done well (sometimes done well just by chance) the administration of Salinomycin IV can lead to strong anti cancer effects that can be reflected in strong pain at the tumor

Scorpion Venom: A Weapon to Fight Cancer
Summary: Venom is a form of toxin secreted by some animals (e.g. scorpion, bee, snake, etc.) for the purpose of defending or causing harm to another. Off course we all known that venom can harm and even kill humans. However in low enough doses, venom will not affect normal cells while it may affect cancer cells, since cancer

Electric and Electro-Magnetic Fields & Cancer Treatment
This is a fascinating field in cancer treatment. While various electro-magnetic-wave-based solutions have been proposed during the past century to treat cancer, only recently this treatment strategy started to gain momentum as both academia and the industry started to recognize the value. In this context, field based solutions for cancer treatment have even been approved recently by FDA

Just another perspective: A Calcium perspective
It is well know that Ca, Na, K, Mg are some of the basic elements sitting at the base of the cell function. While looking at various anti cancer elements I realize that one perspective that may group anti cancer into two major categories is their impact on the intra cellular Ca. While the level of

Perillyl Alcohol (POH) for brain tumors via nasal spray
Summary A less known but very effective natural anti cancer element, Perillyl alcohol is isolated from the essential oils of several plants including citrus, cherries, lavender, peppermint, spearmint, celery seeds, sage, cranberries, lemongrass, ginger grass, etc. Accessible at Medicor (see below) or it can be ordered from chemical suppliers under the CAS 18457-55-1. Oral administration has lead

Huachansu Zhusheye (Bufalin)
Summary: Somehow I have a very good feeling about this one. I came to this component via research on cardiac glycosides (CG). One of the main active ingredient in Huachansu Zhusheye is Bufalin which is a cardiac glycoside. Huachansu Zhusheye is a Chinese medicine that can be administrated both orally or IV and is accessible

Salinomycin: One of the best
Summary Salinomycin is as an antimicrobial and anticoccidial antibiotic. In 2009, a groundbreaking result was published in the scientific journal Cell (Ref), showing that Salinomycin can be effective in killing the cancer stem cells (CSC), the cancer cell population that is responsible for chemo resistance and metastasis. Although the study was focused on breast cancer, Salinomycin
