Alternative Cancer Treatments & Therapies
Sunridge Medical offers alternative cancer treatments, including naturopathic cancer medicine, holistic cancer therapies, and options for integrative cancer treatment. Science and technology have advanced to the point that we design and formulate treatment plans for each patient based on the cancer tumor, its progress, and other disease vulnerabilities.
Sunridge Medical has an onsite Specialty Pharmacy and Compounding Pharmacy which allows our medical team time to personalize and optimize all treatments for the specific needs of the patient. Below is a sampling of cancer treatments that do not fully represent trademarked and registered pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and compounds available for the eradication of cancer cells.
Autohemotherapy
Autohemotherapy is the injection of autologous blood into the body in order to stimulate the immune system and fight cancer cells. This therapy has been shown to be effective in fighting various forms of cancer. The treatment stimulates the immune system, prompts detoxification, the decline of inflammation, and increases oxygenation in the tissues.
Biological Detoxification
Detoxification, or the cleansing and purging of toxins from the body, can be an extremely effective way to boost immune function, improved energy, and better digestive function. Cancer patients can increase their detox abilities, as cancer itself and many of its treatments are toxic burdens on the body. There are many different ways to support detoxification, but one of the most effective is biological detoxification.

High-Dose Vitamin C Therapy
Vitamin C is important for many healthy functions including repairing tissue, absorbing iron, and helping the body fight infection. In recent years, using high doses of Vitamin C to help treat cancer has demonstrated immune system enhancement, improvement in organ function, healing, and even acts as a detoxification agent. Our physicians use high-dose Vitamin C routinely as part of a patient’s individualized treatment program.
Intravenous Therapies
Alpha Lipoic Acid
Alpha lipoic acid is a compound that is found in every cell of the body. It helps turn glucose into energy and also works as an antioxidant. This means that it helps protect cells from damage caused by harmful molecules also known as free radicals. Studies suggest that alpha lipoic acid can treat cancer and also may help to prevent its initial development.
This powerful antioxidant can improve the effectiveness of conventional cancer treatments while reducing their side effects. Additional information on Alpha Lipoic Acid is available in our Treatment information.
Artemisinin
Cancer patients may be prescribed Artemisinin as part of their treatment. This drug is derived from a plant called sweet wormwood, and it has been shown to be effective in killing cancer cells. While the exact mechanism by which Artemisinin works is still being studied, it is clear that this drug can help to fight cancer. In addition, Artemisinin has few side effects, making it a desirable choice for cancer patients. Careseng
Careseng is a cancer treatment that uses the body’s own immune system to fight the disease. The treatment is based on a special type of cell, called a CTL, which is able to target and kill cancer cells while leaving healthy cells intact. CTLs are derived from the patient’s own blood, so there is no risk of rejection or side effects. Careseng has been shown to be effective in treating several types of cancer.
Cesium Chloride
Cesium chloride is a chemical compound that is touted as an alternative cancer treatment. When Cesium chloride is administered intravenously, it helps to kill cancer cells by disrupting their ability to maintain a proper pH balance. If you are considering cesium chloride for cancer treatment, speak to your doctor first to discuss the risks and benefits.
Curcumin
Curcumin is a powerful antioxidant that has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and anticancer activity in clinical studies. Curcumin is the active ingredient in turmeric, a yellow spice commonly used in Indian cuisine. While curcumin has been used for centuries in traditional medicine, only recently have scientists begun to study its potential as a cancer treatment. Curcumin is not well absorbed when taken orally, so it must be given intravenously to be effective. Curcumin has been shown to kill cancer cells and prevent them from spreading in laboratory studies. Curcumin may also help to improve the effectiveness of conventional cancer treatments such as radiation and chemotherapy.
DCA
DCA, or dichloroacetate, is a small molecule that has been shown to be effective in the treatment of cancer. DCA is administered intravenously, and works by targeting cancer cells causing them to self-destruct. DCA is an alternative cancer treatment that has shown promise in clinical trials. Cancer cells are able to divide and grow unchecked because they have mutated forms of the protein p53. DCA can restore the function of p53, causing the cancer cells to die. DCA has been shown to be effective against a wide range of cancers, including breast, lung, and colon cancer. DCA is generally well-tolerated.
Germanium
Germanium is a chemical element found in abundance in the Earth’s crust and is similar in structure to tin. Germanium can be taken intravenously as an alternative cancer treatment. When germanium-132 decays it emits an electron, which helps to kill cancer cells. This treatment has been shown to be effective in treating some types of cancer, though more research is needed to determine its full potential.
Glandular Therapy
Glandular therapy has been used as an alternative cancer treatment for over 100 years, and its popularity has grown in recent years as more people seek out alternative treatments. Glandular therapy works by stimulating the immune system and providing the body with crucial nutrients that are lacking in cancer patients. Glandular therapy is typically administered intravenously Studies show patients with advanced cancer who received glandular therapy experienced a significant improvement in their quality of life. Glandular therapy is typically used as a complementary treatment alongside other cancer therapies.
Glutathione
Glutathione is a small protein that is found in every cell of the human body. It is made up of three amino acids: glutamic acid, cysteine, and glycine. Glutathione is involved in many important functions in the body, including detoxification, immune system function, and cellular repair. Intravenous glutathione therapy allows the body to absorb a higher level of glutathione than it would if the amino acid were taken orally. Glutathione has been shown to kill cancer cells by inducing apoptosis (cell death). In addition, glutathione therapy can help to improve quality of life for cancer patients by reducing fatigue and improving cognitive function. Glutathione therapy is generally well-tolerated, with few side effects reported.
Immunotherapy
Immunotherapy is a type of cancer treatment that helps the body’s immune system to fight cancer cells. Immunotherapy is used to treat various types of cancer, including breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and bladder cancer. Immunotherapy is a promising new treatment option for patients with cancer. Immunotherapy has shown promise in clinical trials and has the potential to provide long-term remission for patients with cancer. Immunotherapy is a safe and effective alternative cancer treatment option that should be considered for patients with cancer.
IPT-Insulin Potentiation Therapy
IPT, or Insulin Potentiation Therapy, is a type of cancer treatment that uses lower doses of chemotherapy drugs in combination with insulin. IPT works by increasing the sensitivity of cancer cells to the effects of chemotherapy drugs. As a result, patients can receive lower doses of chemotherapy while still achieving the same therapeutic effect. IPT is typically administered intravenously, and it can be used as an alternative to standard chemotherapy treatments. IPT has been shown to be effective in treating various types of cancer, including breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and prostate cancer. IPT therapy is typically well-tolerated.
Mistletoe Extract
Mistletoe therapy is an alternative cancer treatment that uses extracts from the Mistletoe plant. Mistletoe therapy is administered intravenously and has been shown to improve the quality of life and overall survival rates in cancer patients. Mistletoe therapy is thought to work by stimulating the immune system and promoting tumor cell death. Mistletoe therapy is generally well-tolerated, with the most common side effects being fatigue and flu-like symptoms. Mistletoe therapy is not a cure for cancer, but it may enhance the efficacy of other cancer treatments.
Oxidative Medicine Therapies
Oxidative therapy has been shown to be effective in killing cancer cells while causing minimal damage to healthy cells, and it may provide a more gentle and effective treatment option for some patients. Oxidative Medicine therapy involves intravenous delivery of drugs and vitamins which create oxidative stress within the body. Oxidative stress is a condition in which there is an imbalance between the production of free radicals and the body’s ability to detoxify them. Oxidative therapy works by creating a situation in which the free radicals overwhelm the body’s ability to detoxify them, resulting in cell death.
Poly MVA
Poly MVA is an intravenous solution containing minerals, vitamins, and amino acids. This alternative cancer treatment has been used for over 30 years. Poly MVA works by helping the body produce more ATP, which is necessary for cell function. Additionally, Poly MVA helps the body detoxify and repair DNA damage. Poly MVA has been shown to be effective in treating various types of cancer, including breast cancer, lung cancer, and leukemia.
Resveratrol
Resveratrol is a type of polyphenol, which is a plant compound found in the skin of red grapes, peanuts, and some berries. Resveratrol has been shown to have anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties along with an ability to aid in treating cancer. Resveratrol has been shown to help prevent the growth of cancer cells. One study found that resveratrol given intravenously helped to improve the quality of life in people with cancer.
Vitamin C Cancer Treatment
Vitamin C can be administered intravenously, and high doses have been shown to kill cancer cells and slow tumor growth. High Dose Vitamin C also boosts the immune system and works as a detoxification agent.
