Intravenous Vitamin C
Linus Pauling, 1970s
Pharmacological doses of vitamin C delivered intravenously produce hydrogen peroxide selectively toxic to tumor cells. Phase I/II trials show benefit alongside chemotherapy.
Curcumin
Indian Ayurveda
The yellow polyphenol of turmeric. Hundreds of trials show anti-inflammatory effects rivaling NSAIDs for osteoarthritis, with emerging anticancer signal.
Prolonged Fasting
Universal traditional practice
48–120 hour fasts trigger autophagy and stem-cell regeneration. Valter Longo's lab shows fasting-mimicking diets reduce chemotherapy toxicity and may slow tumor growth.
Boswellia (Frankincense)
Ayurveda & ancient Egyptian medicine
Boswellic acids inhibit 5-LOX, the inflammatory pathway NSAIDs miss. Trials show meaningful pain and stiffness reduction in osteoarthritis and ulcerative colitis.
Black Seed Oil
Middle Eastern & Unani medicine — 'cures everything but death'
Thymoquinone-rich oil studied for diabetes, hypertension, asthma, and a growing list of cancers. Hadith literature claims it 'cures everything but death.'
Low-Dose Naltrexone (LDN)
Bernard Bihari, NYC, 1980s
An opioid antagonist at 1/10th the addiction-treatment dose. Off-label use spans Crohn's, MS, fibromyalgia, and adjuvant cancer care.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Naval diving medicine, 1930s
Pressurized 100% oxygen forces oxygen into hypoxic tissues. Approved for wounds and decompression sickness; off-label use spans long-COVID, brain injury, and tumor sensitization.
High-Dose Vitamin D3 + K2
Sunlight; modern megadosing — Cicero Coimbra, Brazil
Maintaining serum 25(OH)D above 50 ng/ml is associated with 25–40% lower cancer incidence. The Coimbra protocol uses much higher doses for autoimmune disease.
Medical Ozone Therapy
European integrative medicine, post-WWI
Blood is drawn, mixed with ozone gas, and reinfused. Practitioners claim improved oxygenation and immune modulation. Banned in U.S. clinical practice; routine in Germany, Italy, Cuba.
Sulforaphane (Broccoli Sprouts)
Johns Hopkins — Paul Talalay, 1992
The most potent natural Nrf2 activator known. 3-day-old broccoli sprouts contain 20–50× more glucoraphanin than mature broccoli. Trials cover prostate cancer, autism, and air-pollution detox.
