EDTA is a remarkable arterial cleansing agent with the ability to effectively […]
Dichloroacetate sodium (DCA) is an inexpensive and simple chemical compound similar to combining vinegar and salt. It was originally used in cases of a rare disease called “congenital lactic acidosis.” This means it is not a “new” drug and has been used safely in humans for decades. Studies from this application of DCA indicate mild […]

Sono-photodynamic therapy, or SPDT, is a promising new alternative cancer treatment, which utilizes sound (sono) and light (photo) to selectively target and eliminate cancer cells. It combines photodynamic therapy (PDT) with sonodynamic therapy (SDT) in a synergistic manner, which increases efficacy when compared to the application of either treatment individually. PDT involves the use of […]

The tradition of the sauna is found around the world in most all advanced cultures to some degree.

Psychoneuroimmunology explores the connection between the mind, body and immune system. There have been several studies that support the idea that the connection between the brain and immune system affect the quality of life, and possibly the morbidity and mortality rates of cancer patients. According to one study, considerable work over the past decade has […]
