For more than four decades, Oasis of Hope has undertaken innovative cancer treatments that enable patients to survive and thrive. The Oasis of Hope team emphasizes a multifaceted approach tailored to specific patient needs.
One area of focus involves the antioxidant vitamin C as an alternative treatment in fighting the growth of tumors. When vitamin C is circulated in extremely high concentrations within highly oxygenated blood, it oxidative rather than antioxidative. While healthy cells produce the enzyme catalase, which enables them to tolerate these high dosages of vitamin C, the infusion selectively eliminates cells that are malignant.
This stands in distinct contrast to conventional therapies such as radiation, chemotherapy, and surgery, which also damage healthy cells when eliminating cancerous growths. Unfortunately, among the primary cells destroyed are those in the immune system. This makes infusions of highly concentrated vitamin C an attractive alternative to traditional cancer therapies.
