Hey Warriors 👋 Just a quick reminder that our weekly Cancer Warriors group call happens every Sunday at 6pm UK time. These calls are a chance for us to: ✅ Share updates on protocols, labs, and progress ✅ Discuss new research and insights from the group ✅ Ask questions and get feedback in real-time ✅ Connect with others walking a similar path Whether you’re new to the group or have been here from the start — you’re welcome to join, listen in, and contribute however you feel comfortable. Bring your questions, your notes, or just your curiosity. Every week, we learn something new together. 💪 🕕 Time: Sunday 6pm (UK) 📍 Where: Here on Skool See you on the call! — Bernardo

Today marks a huge step for our mission — the first episode of the Cancer Warriors Podcast is officially live on YouTube! This series shares real stories of hope and science, exploring how people are using metabolic therapy and repurposed drugs in their healing journeys. The goal is simple: to give a voice to those on the frontlines — patients, caregivers, and scientists — and to keep spreading the message about metabolic therapy. Please like, comment, and share if this episode resonates with you — it helps the algorithm reach more Warriors who need hope and this information. https://youtu.be/lVoFRSvPD_Q?si=1ZxFqPdQ6MW4jhFP

A recurring theme in oncology is that many conventional chemotherapies work—at least in part—by creating oxidative stress inside tumor cells. Cancer cells already live close to the “redox tipping point,” with high baseline ROS (reactive oxygen species) and weakened antioxidant defenses. Push them just a bit further, and they collapse. Interestingly, several natural compounds and therapies explored in the metabolic and integrative cancer field also appear to act through pro-oxidant mechanisms—but often in a way that spares healthy cells. ✅ Natural Pro-Oxidants Reported in Research 1. Vitamin C (high-dose, IV) - At nutritional levels, vitamin C is an antioxidant. - At pharmacologic IV levels, it flips to a pro-oxidant, generating hydrogen peroxide that selectively stresses tumor cells. 2. Artemisinin & Derivatives (e.g., artesunate, artemether) - Activated by iron, which tends to be higher in cancer cells. - Generates ROS bursts that damage mitochondria and DNA. 3. Polyphenols at High Concentrations (EGCG, Quercetin, Curcumin, Resveratrol) - Known as antioxidants at low doses. - In cancer’s iron-rich, unstable redox environment, they can flip into pro-oxidants and trigger oxidative stress. 4. Methylene Blue (with light or redox cycling) - Acts as a redox cycler in mitochondria. - When combined with near-infrared light (photodynamic style therapy), it produces singlet oxygen and ROS. 5. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) - Increases oxygen pressure in tissues. - Can elevate ROS, especially in cells with weak antioxidant defenses. 6. Ozone Therapy - O₃ is a direct oxidant. - Produces peroxides and secondary ROS, creating oxidative stress signals in cells and blood. 7. Sulforaphane & Isothiocyanates (from crucifers like broccoli, mustard) - At higher doses, can deplete glutathione and drive ROS-mediated apoptosis. 8. Hydrogen Peroxide - Direct ROS donor. - Used in certain IV protocols to induce oxidative stress.

A remarkable case has just been reported: Jeffrey Kramer, a retired attorney from Ohio with incurable stage 4 prostate cancer, is now cancer-free after completing a 15-week program known as the Hybrid Orthomolecular Protocol. ✅ What the Protocol Included • Therapeutic ketogenic diet (low carb, high fat, adequate protein) • Moderate exercise several times per week • High-dose IV Vitamin C • Daily ivermectin and fenbendazole (at established safe doses) • Core supplements: Vitamin D, Vitamin K2, Zinc, Magnesium, Potassium ✅ Results • Just two weeks after finishing the program, Kramer’s PET scan showed no evidence of cancer in bones, spine, lymph nodes, or organs. • He reported no side effects, unlike conventional treatments that often come with bone loss, fatigue, or quality-of-life decline. • Total cost: under $20,000 — less than a single month of some standard oncology drugs. ✅ Scientific Backing • Published in the Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine (late 2024). • Authored by 16 oncologists and researchers worldwide, with over 200 supporting references. • Focus: disrupt cancer’s mitochondrial–stem cell connection, starve tumors of fuel, and boost immune clearance of malignant cells. ✅ Barriers & Controversy • U.S. doctors could not officially provide the protocol due to FDA restrictions. • Approval processes can take 10–20 years, leaving patients with no access. • Kramer worked with Pierrick Martinez of the Association Cancer et Métabolisme in France, who provided long-distance guidance. • Local nurse practitioners and nutritionists helped with IV Vitamin C and ketogenic implementation. ✅ Why It Matters • In 2023, 613,000 Americans died from cancer. That number is rising. • The protocol was designed for cancer in general, not just prostate cancer, suggesting broad potential impact. • If safe, low-cost therapies like this can help, the question is: how many lives are being lost because these approaches are ignored or suppressed? ✅ Key Takeaway for Our Community

There’s often confusion about how antioxidants or polyphenols might interact with cancer treatments like immunotherapy, chemotherapy, or pro-oxidant therapies (IV Vitamin C, HBOT, Artemisinin, Methylene Blue + light). The scientific literature suggests that timing can influence how these compounds behave in the body. ✅ Immunotherapy (e.g. Keytruda, Opdivo) - These drugs reactivate T-cells, which use bursts of reactive oxygen species (ROS) to attack tumors. - Some studies suggest that very strong antioxidants (Vitamin C, NAC, glutathione, Vitamin E) could, if taken right at infusion, reduce this ROS signal. - Polyphenols (curcumin, EGCG, resveratrol, quercetin) act differently. They don’t just “scavenge ROS” but instead modulate pathways like NF-κB and STAT3. Literature suggests they may even support immune function during checkpoint inhibitor therapy. ✅ Chemotherapy (platinums, taxanes, anthracyclines, etc.) - Many chemotherapies kill cancer cells through oxidative stress. - Strong antioxidants given at the same time could theoretically reduce this effect, which is why some protocols separate them by a day or two. - Polyphenols are more nuanced: some studies show they can reduce side effects and may even increase cancer sensitivity to chemo, but timing still appears to matter. ✅ Pro-oxidant Therapies (IV Vitamin C, HBOT, Artemisinin, CDS, Methylene Blue + light) - These therapies aim to increase ROS stress in cancer cells. - Combining them with strong antioxidants in the same window may cancel out the intended effect. - Polyphenols don’t appear to block this process and in some contexts have been reported to enhance it. ✅ Key Idea - Classical antioxidants (Vitamin C, NAC, glutathione, ALA, Vitamin E) directly scavenge ROS, which can interfere with therapies that rely on oxidative stress if taken at the same time. - Polyphenols (curcumin, EGCG, resveratrol, quercetin) act more like signaling regulators and are generally reported as supportive rather than disruptive.
