Cell Redox Regulatory Therapy

This strategy takes advantage of the fact that many cancers need moderate amounts of oxidative stress to multiply efficiently, but are susceptible to being killed with high levels of oxidative stress. Therefore, high-dose intravenous vitamin C administered with vitamin K and Perftec, are used to produce potentially lethal levels of hydrogen peroxide in tumors which results in high levels of oxidative stress. This combination is lethal to cancerous tumors but in no way harms normal tissues which have adequate antioxidant defenses.

On the other hand, Oasis of Hope's home treatment care program takes the opposite approach, blocking or reducing the production of oxidants in cancer cells with antioxidants and oxidant scavengers (free radicals). This can be expected to slow the growth and spread of many cancers.

Hence the name REDOX: Reduction and Oxidation, reduction of oxidants with the home care treatment program and increasing oxidation at Oasis of Hope.
