Cancer Protection of cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy by IHT Why is IHT so effective?
IHT can be used at the same time as radiation therapy sessions. It can also be used between sessions at home in conjunction with both radio therapy and chemotherapeutic regimes. IHT therapy is effective in dealing with depression, insomnia, hair loss during radiotherapy and the toxic effect (nausea) on the body of the various chemotherapeutic preparations. The effect of treatment (15-25 minute sessions) lasts from 4 to 12 months, after which a repeat course of 10 to 15 sessions is recommended. Protection of cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy Chizhov, R. Strelkov, T. Voronina Department of ecological monitoring and forecasting of the Russian People's Friendship University (Moscow) and Medical Ecology Systems Limited (London) Cancer is notorious throughout the world as a killer. Doctors have established that breast cancer in particular kills 13,000 women each year in Britain. Most of them at one time or another have undergone radiation therapy. There is a therapy, largely unknown in the UK but used in orthodox medicine since 1975 in the former Soviet Union, which is non-drug based and non-invasive, which may extend the life of such women (A.Ya. Chizhov, 1983). Reproduced below is an article which explains this treatment, which is known as norm baric hypoxia radiotherapy. It is well known that hypoxia has a radio protective influence. The principle of oxygen involvement is that the damaging effect of radiation is to some extent dependent on the concentration of oxygen in or around the subject. When a patient has a reduced blood oxygen content the effects on tissue of radiation is reduced. Conversely, an increased Po2 creates a more damaging influence. The mechanism of action is based on reducing the damaging effect of free radicals produced by the ionizing radiation. Free radicals or negatively charged atoms and molecules are mopped up by the hydrogen (positive) ions found as part of the complex cellular defense system. Oxygen combines easily, and possibly preferentially, with hydrogen to form water. Lowering the oxygen availability provides more hydrogen ions to neutralize the damaging free radicals. Described more aesthetically, the damaging effect of radiation is transferred into a permanent non-destructive chemical change at the cellular level. “The anti-radiation of a hypoxic mix and the experimental as well as clinical basis of its use for reducing X-ray damage in general and in localized treatment of the body” (R.B. Strelkov, A. Ya. Chizhov, 1971-1983). There was evidence of greater tolerance of cancer patients to exogenic hypoxic stimulation compared to healthy patients (volunteers). There is a possibility that the antiradiation protection of a 10% mix may appear as a specific action - "the oxygen effect." - but at the expense of an increase in specific resistance as a whole, if the hypoxic stimulation is enough in strength and duration. Side effects of x-ray therapy exist. The average tolerated dose for many organs is 50 -75% of the dose necessary for the regression of tumors. A. Ya. Chizhov and R.B. Strelkov presented research material relating to 142 breast cancer patients receiving a 10% mix compared with 112 patients with the same condition but not receiving such a mix. They examined skin, hematological and general vegetative reaction and also conducted a patho-morphological study of post-operative material. They paid particular attention to skin reaction to irradiation (the appearance of erythema, of the dry and moist epidermis). The study was carried out among 254 women aged 26-76 undergoing irradiation therapy for breast cancer. As a result of clinical observation of Group II (receiving daily doses of hypoxic stimulation during irradiation therapy sessions) and Group I (control) group of patients the conclusion was reached that a 10% oxygen mix was beneficial for the state of the patients' health. The rate of survived patients was increased during seven years. Evaluation of the vegetative reaction leads us to believe that this is connected to increased non-specific resistance of the patient's bodies. |
