Comparison of cancer tissue with healthy tissue from the same person shows that the cancer tissue has a much higher concentration of toxic chemicals, pesticides, etc. These substances not only build up in the body, but certain areas of the body seem to serve as a dumping ground.

As Dr. Sharma stated above, toxic chemicals are a source of free radicals. Free radicals can damage any part of the cell, including the DNA. Free radical damage to DNA (cellular and/or mitochondrial DNA) is thought to be one of the causes of cancer. In the absence of oxygen, the DNA self-repair mechanism does not function (Diamond, page 1038), so it is no surprise that the DNA of cancerous tissue shows extensive free radical damage.

Free radicals are neutralized by antioxidants. When the antioxidant gives up an electron to neutralize a free radical, the antioxidant is "depleted" until another electron comes along. Sources of free electrons to recharge antioxidants include alkaline body fluids and "Earthing".

Glutathione (GSH) is the master antioxidant in the body. It is primarily found inside cells. Sick cells invariably have low glutathione levels. Glutathione depletion brings cell death.

Vitamin C is the most important antioxidant outside cells. Glutathione and vitamin C work as a team. Eating more vitamin C takes some of the the workload off glutathione, resulting in glutathione levels increasing as well.

Vitamin A is the dominant antioxidant in the skin, which includes the lining of the lungs, esophagus, stomach, and intestines. Beta-carotene can be converted by the body into vitamin A. Beta-carotene is the yellow pigment in vegetables and fruits such as carrots, sweet potatoes, squash and cantaloupe.

Vitamin E is the main fat-soluble antioxidant in the body and prevents oxidation of lipids (such as cholesterol). Vitamin C maintains the effectiveness of vitamin E as an antioxidant.

Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) is the main antioxidant in cellular mitochondria. Alpha Lipoic Acid is soluble in both water and fat, and easily penetrates the blood-brain barrier. ALA seems to work synergistically with acetyl L-carnitine (ALC) and L-carnosine. 1, 2 The recommended dosage for "ALC is 250 mg to 2 grams daily, and 100 to 600 mg of ALA." See our homemade anti-aging powder.

Glutathione is part of a family of antioxidant enzymes that protect and regulate the p53 tumor suppression gene that could potentially prevent half of all cancers. Four nutrients needed to create and maintain glutathione are selenium, plus the amino acids cysteine, glutamine, and glycine. Many vegetables are associated with increased glutathione levels such as avocados, bilberry extract, bok choy, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, cress, curcumin found in turmeric, grape seed extract, ripe seeds of green beans, horseradish, kale, kohlrabi, mustard, red beets, the herb rosemary, rutabagas, and turnips. Dietary supplementation with whey protein is found to raise glutathione levels. More about glutathione.

There are many coenzymes and other nutrients that support the body's antioxidant system. These include all the B vitamins (including B12), DMG (Dimethylglycine), iodine/iodide, Omega 3 essential fatty acids, acetyl L-carnitine (ALC), coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinol), coenzyme PQQ, vitamin K2, bioflavonoids and carotenoids.

Bioflavonoids are provided by green/blue/purple colored foods (fruits, vegetables, berries, beans, spices, etc.). Carotenoids come from yellow/orange/red colored foods. Many individual bioflavonoids and carotenoids have been shown to inhibit cancer growth, and when you eat a variety of foods containing bioflavonoids and carotenoids, they work together to produce a very powerful effect on cancer.

Daily consumption of 300 to 400mg of coenzyme Q10 has been shown to produce a partial or complete regression of breast tumors. If you take coenzyme Q10 supplements, look for ubiquinol because the body needs it when making ATP (adenosine triphosphate). ATP is produced in the mitochondria of cells by a process known as cellular respiration. ATP and mitochondria are at the heart of the cancer problem. When mitochondria are damaged and production of ATP is reduced or halted, then the cell must resort to alternative means of producing energy or die. Those cells that succeed in switching to fermentation of glucose as their alternative source of energy are, by definition, cancer cells. You can read more about cancer metabolism on our oxygen page.
