Re: The Candida is Killed by Alkalinity Myth

That is great to hear your doctor is going the alternative route. Ozone is my favorite treatment for cancer. It kills cancer cells directly through the formation of peroxides. Basically healthy cells have enzymes that help to protect them from peroxides, which are beneficial free radicals. Peroxides are formed in the body to kill pathogens, and to activate white blood cells. Although peroxides can also damage cells. Therefore, the enzyme superoxide dismutase, which forms peroxide, also helps to break down peroxides to protect cells. The other enzymes in healthy cells that break down the peroxides are catalase, glutathione peroxidase, and selenium methionine peroxidase. Cancer cells lack these enzymes so they cannot break down peroxides. Ozone produces hydrogen peroxide by reaction with water in the blood, and lipid peroxides by reaction with lipids (fats) in cell membranes. As these peroxides enter in to the cells the healthy cells break down these peroxides. Cancer cells, lacking these antioxidant enzymes, are overinflated with these peroxides, which ruptures their membranes killing the cancer cells. In addition, ozone also addresses cancers by killing cancer microbes, stimulation of white blood cell activity, and increasing production of immune cytokines. Ozone therapy also stimulates the production of the antioxidant enzymes, so it does not cause damage to healthy tissue at recommended concentrations. I also like ozone because it can go places where drugs and herbs cannot go. Every living human cell requires oxygen to survive. Ozone is a more radical form of oxygen. So it can get in to places such as the nerves to kill cancer forming herpes viruses, and in to the brain tissue making it a highly effective therapy for malignant brain tumors.

Here is one of the studies on ozone and cancer:

Ozone selectively inhibits growth of human cancer cells.

Sweet F, Kao MS, Lee SC, Hagar WL, Sweet WE.
The growth of human cancer cells from lung, breast, and uterine tumors was selectively inhibited in a dose-dependent manner by ozone at 0.3 to 0.8 part per million of ozone in ambient air during 8 days of culture. Human lung diploid fibroblasts served as noncancerous control cells. The presence of ozone at 0.3 to 0.5 part per million inhibited cancer cell growth 40 and 60 percent, respectively. The noncancerous lung cells were unaffected at these levels. Exposure to ozone at 0.8 part per million inhibited cancer cell growth more than 90 percent and control cell growth less than 50 percent. Evidently, the mechanisms for defense against ozone damage are impaired in human cancer cells.
