This group exists so no one has to walk this path alone. Share as much or as little as you feel comfortable: - Your diagnosis or a loved one’s journey - What brought you here - Questions you’re exploring - Therapies or strategies you’re researching - Or even a photo — faces help turn stories into connection Every share matters. It helps others feel less isolated and strengthens the collective wisdom of the group. 📌 Post Categories — How to Share To keep the community organised and easy to navigate, please choose the category that best fits your posts: 📢 Announcements: Official updates from the Admin team. 👋 Introductions: Say hello and share as much (or as little) as you’re comfortable with about your journey. 💬 General Discussion: Open conversation on cancer, healing, mindset, and community-related topics. 💡Research & Education: Research, studies, resources, protocols, and learning materials. ❓Q&A: Questions and thoughtful answers from the community. 📝 Journeys & Results: Personal stories, protocols being explored, progress updates and testimonials. 🎭 Miscellaneous: Anything that doesn’t clearly fit another category. If you’re unsure, don’t worry — just choose your best guess. The goal is sharing, learning, and supporting each other, not perfection.

Many conventional and metabolic cancer approaches rely—directly or indirectly—on oxidative stress (ROS: reactive oxygen species) to damage cancer cells. Chemotherapy, for example, is largely pro-oxidant and works by generating oxidative damage indiscriminately to both cancer cells and healthy cells. According to published work and commentary by Dr. Seyfried, chemotherapy may retain significant therapeutic effect at reduced doses when patients are in nutritional ketosis, potentially lowering collateral damage while maintaining efficacy. Beyond chemotherapy, many people explore targeted or context-dependent oxidative strategies, including: • Natural pro-oxidants (e.g. Artemisinin) • Repurposed / off-label agents (e.g. Fenbendazole, Doxycycline, Atorvastatin) • Oxygen-based therapies (e.g. HBOT, ozone, IV vitamin C) • Redox-active approaches (e.g. Methylene Blue + Light (Red / NIR) • Direct Systemic Oxidants (e.g. CDS, Hydrogen Peroxide) • Redox-Active Solvent / Carrier (e.g. DMSO) This poll aims to better understand how frequently these approaches are being used or considered, and to gather insight into real-world use and observed outcomes within the community.

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.
