Vitamin K with Dr. Contreras from the Oasis of Hope in Tijuana, Mexico
Vitamin K is very, very important for the support of any oxidative therapy that you are giving. If you will recall, oxidation promotes severe damage to cells because the cells become free radicals or there are many elements that become free radicals. These free radicals go like crazy because they're electrons are unmatched. The chain reaction happens because they steal an electron from other healthy cells, causing them to become free radicals. This chain reaction goes very, very fast and is very destructive. Yet, we need oxidation in order to destroy the tumor, so in order to reduce the impact of the oxidation we do the pre-conditioning first with Ozone Therapy which increases our own capability for anti-oxidation and secondly, we provide Vitamin K because it is an electron donor. If we are able to provide electrons, we will stop that chain reaction and we will have the oxidation only where we want it. That is one of the important roles of Vitamin K. Most of us will use Vitamin K when a patient has some problems with coagulation; in our patients, we are not using it for that purpose, we are using it for the purpose of electron donation.
Vitamin C with Dr. Contreras from the Oasis of Hope in Tijuana, Mexico
As I mentioned before, we gave Mr. Bender the Vitamin K in order for us to have sufficient electron donors circulating before we give the oxidative therapy. In that way, we reduce any sort of side effect or negative impact of the therapy; now he is receiving the Vitamin C. To a lot of people, it is a shock that we are using Vitamin C as an oxidant because most of the studies published on Vitamin C are about its incredible anti-oxidant capabilities. Mark Lavin, the head of research at the National Institute of Health (NIH), has published 6 or 7 papers on the fact that we need to review the whole principle of Vitamin C and how it works because he was able to determine that at a very high dose it will produce peroxide, which is the killing agent for malignant cells. The drips actually go very, very fast; one gram per minute. So in this case, we are giving him 30 grams in 30 minutes.
Now, if we have a lot of oxygen all over the body, why is it not damaging to the rest of the body? This is because we produce incredible amounts of enzymes that neutralize peroxide, but the tumors don't have that capability. We have prepared him with the Vitamin K and oxygen and now we can do very high doses of Vitamin C as Chemotherapy, the capacity of Vitamin C to kill tumors is very similar to Chemotherapy. You can find all of those publications by Mark Levin and his group from the NIH and some of those reports have been published by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). We've used Vitamin C for many, many years as an anti-tumor agent but we thought from Linus Pauling to 2000 that it was the anti-oxidative capability, but no, it's exactly the opposite. Nobody had this information until very recently, 2000 to 2005 were the publications that we found the mode of action of Vitamin C as an anti-tumor agent. In very high doses and given in a very short time, you will have an oxidative process going on with Vitamin C. So, that just proves the point that what we learn from the most basic study of Pharmacology is that the difference between the venom and the cure is not the element but the dose. In other words, water can be benign in certain amounts and the same water can be deadly in very high amounts. The same happens in any element. In certain doses it will work in one way and at different dosages it works in a different way and this is what happens with Vitamin C. At very high dosages and provided in a very short time it actually produces peroxide; thus it is an oxidative agent.
Also we use Vitamin C in different dosages as a detoxifying agent after chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Why? Because the way those elements work is through the production of free radicals, especially radiation therapy, we then use Vitamin C as an anti-oxidant, as most of us know it, and the results are very good. It is most effective in patients with lung cancer and in a five year study we found that patients with lung cancer, who receive Vitamin C in high dosages, using it as Chemotherapy, we have a 20 fold survival rate in comparison to conventional therapy. In cancer of the colon, it's only 2 fold. Cancer of the breast is about 3 to 4 fold, still it's very impressive. But it doesn't work for all patients. So what does that mean? It means that with conventional therapy, usually less than 1% of the patients that were diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer are alive after 5 years. With our therapy, about 20% of our patients are alive. A lot of people will say, “Two out of 10 is nothing to write home about, but it is! It is when the alternative is zero. We also use chemotherapy and Vitamin C and the results are even better than that, not significantly more but still better. There are some cases where we feel that chemotherapy is the treatment of choice. In some advanced cancers of the breast and advanced cancers of the ovary, we still see better results with chemotherapy than with Vitamin C alone. But in other tumors, prostate and lung, we have much better results with Vitamin C than Chemo and obviously our aim is to fine tune our least aggressive therapies to the point that they can compete with aggressive therapies. For two reasons, the main one is — if you have something that works as well, that is not going to be toxic, all the better. The second reason is that a lot of the patients who come here have received so much chemotherapy or radiation therapy that it's not an option anymore. So we have to find something for them.
