Oxygen Treatments & Therapies for Cancer

How Oxygen Therapy for Cancer Treatment Works

Oxygen therapy refers to several different forms of treatment that are designed to flood tumors and cancer cells with oxygen. Theories suggest that introducing excess oxygen into tumors can kill cancer cells and prevent cell proliferation by forcing tumors to shut down. Some studies also suggest that the oxygenation of hypoxic tumor cells may increase their sensitivity to radiation therapy and chemotherapy.

Oxygen cancer therapy treatment ranges from placing a patient within a chamber with a controlled amount of oxygen to introducing substances that contain oxygen into the tumor via injection or oral medication.

Types of Oxygen Therapy

1. Hydrogen Peroxide IV

Hydrogen peroxide is a compound that contains oxygen and is believed to be toxic to the cancer cell . Using intravenous hydrogen peroxide (IV) infusions, clinicians can introduce controlled levels of hydrogen peroxide into the body through a blood vessel to potentially kill cancer cells, decreasing the progression of tumor growth.

The controlled use of hydrogen peroxide in cancer therapy aims to increase oxygenation in tumor tissue while also potentially targeting and eliminating cancer cells. This approach is often combined with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) therapy to enhance its therapeutic effects. Research is ongoing to determine the exact role of hydrogen peroxide in treating forms of cancer. 

2. Ozone UVB

UVB therapy involves exposing blood to ultraviolet light and reintroducing that blood back into the patient’s body. This has oxidative effects as ozone therapy and may help to increase oxygen levels.

By increasing the oxygen level in the blood, ozone UVB therapy can provide an effective boost to the immune system. Additionally, this therapy is known to promote better blood circulation and can work synergistically with HBOT treatment to enhance cancer treatment options.

3. Ozone Autohemotherapy

Ozone autohemotherapy involves the removal of the patient’s blood from their body. This blood is then injected with ozone gas to increase oxygenation before being reintroduced back into the bloodstream. This cancer therapy is good for increasing blood flow and circulation and boosts a patient’s immune system. 

Ozone autohemotherapy also helps improve the body’s detoxification processes, enhancing overall health for cancer patients. This cancer therapy can be particularly effective in reducing inflammation and oxidative stress within the body. By oxygenating the blood through ozone therapy, patients may experience increased energy levels and improved immune response. At the Immunity Therapy Center, ozone autohemotherapy is often used in combination with other alternative therapies and cancer treatments for a more comprehensive care approach.

4. Ozone Rectal Insufflations

With ozone rectal insufflation, ozone treatment is introduced to the body directly via the rectum. Theories suggest that oxygen is more easily absorbed through the walls of the rectum, potentially allowing for greater efficiency.

This method of ozone therapy can also help stimulate the immune system, improving the body’s natural defense against cancer cells. Ozone rectal insufflation is considered a less invasive treatment option and can be easily administered in a clinical setting. Patients undergoing this ozone treatment may experience fewer side effects compared to more traditional cancer treatments. As part of a holistic cancer care plan, rectal ozone therapy offers a complementary approach to improving oxygen levels in the body.

5. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

A form of oxygen therapy for treating cancer is called Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT). HBO therapy involves cancer patients to be placed in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber to breathe in pure oxygen at levels greater than the normal environment. The goal of HBO treatments is to fill the blood with sufficient oxygen levels to repair damaged tissue and restore body function. Hyperbaric oxygen treatment could also be used as a wound healing method for infections, injured flesh, or diseases such as Alzheimer’s and HIV/AIDS.

HBOT therapy can also enhance the effectiveness of radiation therapy by making cancer cells more sensitive to treatment. HBOT has been shown to improve circulation, which aids in faster recovery from surgery or injury in cancer patients. Additionally, this oxygen therapy may help reduce cancer-related fatigue by delivering increased oxygen to tissues and cells. 

How Oxygen Therapies Are Administered

Due to the variety and breadth of oxygen therapies available, the exact methods of administration will vary based on your own health and personal needs as a cancer patient, as well as the cancer growth, tumor volume, severity, and stage of your cancer. Oxygen therapy is generally non-invasive, and most forms of this treatment can be performed safely as another option besides conventional cancer therapies such as radiation treatment and chemotherapy.
