di Girolamo & Dr. Mehta examine the use of Vitamin C IV therapy for cancer, and how the combination of Vitamin C IV therapy, fasting and oxygen therapy – especially in the form of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy – has been known to put patients in remission and completely eliminate some very serious cancers. Dr. Mehta describes Hyperbaric Oxygen as a “game changer” when adding it into a cancer treatment protocol. He explains that as doctors they are trained to look at chemotherapy first to treat cancer, but there are many holistic ways to help a cancer patient shrink the tumors, stop the spread and live a longer life. He agrees that HBOT would be a great option to help cancer patients on their healing journey.
Diet is another holistic way to treat cancer. A water fast that puts the body in a ketogenic state, or a ketogenic organic diet are all ranked high as ideal ways to use alternative, natural methods for cancer and pain relief.
Dr. Mehta tells a personal story of his past that involved his father’s diagnosis of papillary thyroid cancer, and how it was the holistic and natural methods Dr. Mehta recommended that gave him extended life. Vitamin C Therapy, consuming organic wheatgrass daily, and daily deep breathing techniques to increase oxygen levels all contributed to him living 3 years longer than his prognosis. After massive shrinkage of the tumors during those 3 years; his father was convinced by an Ocologist to undergo chemotherapy in hopes that it would completely eradicate the cancer from his body. The chemotherapy caused cardio toxicity and unfortunately ultimately lead to Dr. Mehta’s father passing away.
di Girolamo suggests that viewers watch Research Rundown Episode 16: The Ketogenic Diet and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Prolong Survival in Mice with Systemic Metastatic Cancer. This is a popular Research Rundown where our host, Ed di Girolamo, analyzes a study led by researcher, Dominic D’Agostino. The benefit of combining ketogenic diet with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) for metastatic cancer treatment is some very exciting research in the world of HBOT, cancer research, and fasting! This particular research and Dominic’s involvement to help prove that cancer can be eliminated (and maybe even cured) by combining a heavy ketogenic diet and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is further discussed in this HBOT News Conversations episode with Dr. Mehta.
*Pease consult your doctor to see if fasting is right for you.
