Acupuncture has become a popular complementary treatment in cancer care as patients search for natural alternatives to help manage their disease, alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life [1]. As part of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), acupuncture is a technique that has been practiced for thousands of years in China and other Asian countries [2]. It involves the insertion of fine needles into the skin at specific points on the body known as acupuncture points [3]. The needles may be manipulated manually or stimulated with small electrical currents (electroacupuncture) [4].

Artemisinin, a chemical compound extracted from the plant Artemisia annua, commonly used in Chinese medicine for treating malaria, is considered to have anti-cancer properties based on in vitro/in vivo and few clinical studies. However, more well-defined larger clinical trials are needed to determine the conditions and dosage under which Artemisinin or artesunate, a derivative of artemisinin, may be safe and effective in cancer patients. However, artemisinin may induce CYP2B6 and CYP3A4 enzymes and hence may interact with cancer drugs or other drugs metabolized by these enzymes, thereby affecting their concentration/dosage and bioavailability. Patients also should be monitored for potential side effects before prescribing artesunate/artemisinin for cancer treatment.Additional Resources:<ul><li><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29422423">https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29422423</a></li><li><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30668363">https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30668363</a></li><li><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27519711">https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27519711</a></li><li><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29392450">https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29392450</a></li><li><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28439738">https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28439738</a></li><li><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32005582">https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32005582</a></li><li><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33814617">https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33814617</a></li><li><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29174651">https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29174651</a></li><li><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34539854">https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34539854</a></li></ul>

Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin and an important micronutrient with a critical role in DNA, protein, and lipid synthesis. Some large studies suggest the supplement combination of Vitamin B12, folate, and Vitamin B6 may lower the risks for cervical cancer, but not lung or invasive cancers, and results are mixed for breast cancer. Another study found an increased cancer incidence when evaluating only B12 taken with folic acid, although results suggested these effects were related to folic acid.

Curcumin, a polyphenol first extracted from Curcuma longa in 1815, has gained attention from scientists worldwide for its biological activities –antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antiviral –among which its anticancer potential has been the most described and still remains under investigation. The present review focuses on the cell signaling pathways involved in cancer development and proliferation, and which are targeted by curcumin. Curcumin has been reported to modulate growth factors, enzymes, transcription factors, kinase, inflammatory cytokines, and proapoptotic (by upregulation) and antiapoptotic (by downregulation) proteins. This polyphenol compound, alone or combined with other agents, could represent an effective drug for cancer therapy.Additional Resources:<ul><li><a

IV Curcumin

Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant made up of three amino acids – cysteine, glutamic acid, and glycine. Antioxidants connect themselves to damage-causing free radicals and escort them from the body, reducing their ability to cause disease and discomfort.  A glutathione IV is good for administering this tripeptide directly to your bloodstream. The body does not absorb glutathione well, so using an IV drip helps spread the antioxidant more effectively, allowing it to provide immune and anti-aging support. Many people believe glutathione is the best way to remove toxins from their bodies and bring balance to the immune system.

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a chemical compound that is naturally produced in the human body, widely found in nature, and has a range of different applications, and has been included in regimens for alternative cancer therapies.

NAD regenerative therapy boasts a wide range of benefits by delivering the oxidized form of a coenzyme called nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) directly into the bloodstream. While research is still ongoing and more studies are needed to fully understand the impact of the NAD+ coenzyme on various conditions, scientists have found a connection between this enzyme and cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Lowered levels of NAD+ have been linked to diabetes and fatty liver disease, among other conditions.

High-dose IV vitamin C therapy is a natural, yet powerful intervention that is a cornerstone in most integrative and complementary cancer care programs around the world. It has been used since the 1950s in the treatment of cancer and is believed by many alternative healthcare practitioners to be a potent anti-cancer agent with the ability to selectively target and eliminate cancer cells without damaging healthy cells or causing side effects [1] [10].

Nutritional Therapy centers on the idea that real health can be achieved through a holistic and bio-individual approach to nutrition and lifestyle. We believe that many of modern society’s health problems result from weaknesses in the body’s physiological foundations brought on by poor nutrition. Medical nutrition therapy is an evidence-based, individualized nutrition process meant to help treat certain medical conditions. Nutritional therapy instructs individuals on how to use their diet to best support their medical conditions. It not only addresses existing medical conditions but also attempts to lower the risk of new complications.Additional Resources:<ul><li><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33076229">https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33076229</a></li><li><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33233049">https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33233049</a></li><li><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32764923">https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32764923</a></li><li><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32451701">https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32451701</a></li><li><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30476588">https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30476588</a></li><li><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31744117">https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31744117</a></li><li><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23391017">https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23391017</a></li><li><a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26589974">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26589974</a></li></ul>
