The Phillip DeMars Cancer Fund: Alternative Cancer Treatments

This is one of Dr Donsbach's favorite therapies, although it is never used alone. Donsbach's Theory:

The degree of the vitality of the body and the strength of the barrier to degenerative diseases is in proportion to the ratio of oxygen's saturation of the blood stream, all things being equal.

The prime cause of cancer is the replacement of the normal oxygen respiration of body cells by anaerobic cell respiration.

Cancer cells meet their energy needs by fermentation, not oxidation. Thus, they are dependent upon glucose and a high oxygen environment is toxic to them.

Donsbach writes some very interesting (and inexpensive) little booklets. In his book, Oxygen, Oxygen, Oxygen, he states:

Many factors are involved in causing oxygen depletion. One of the most overlooked is the fact that a few hundred years ago the oxygen content of our atmosphere was about 35%—today it is about 19%. We have had an almost 50% decrease in the available oxygen in the air around us!

We thought we'd check out this (supposed) fact, and nothing we found shows there was ever 35% oxygen in the atmosphere, and calls to the U of Minn resulted in one professor stating that, yes, there has been a decrease in the amount of oxygen available, but the most it has ever been is 21%.

Now there are other factors in our bodies' oxygen depletion that are extremely important: lack of minerals such as iron and copper deficiencies, poor diets, fluoridated drinking water, infections, shallow breathing patterns, and mental attitudes. And as Dr Donsbach explains, the addition of oxygen to his patients has so impressed him, that though he may use different therapies for different cancers, oxygen therapy is the one they all get.

Cancer hates oxygen. Cancer metabolizes anaerobically through fermentation. The addition of oxygen inhibits its spread and eventually kills cancer cells. At the Donsbach clinic (in Mexico—this is illegal in the US), he employs infusions of a mixture of 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide and DMSO.

"Oxygen and cancer research indicates that hydrogen peroxide stimulates natural killer cells, which attack cancer cells throughout the body." [Oxygen Intermediates are Required for Interferon Activation of NK Cells. Journal of Interferon Research]

Additionally, you can get oxygen therapy in a number of ways: drinking a weak mixture of hydrogen peroxide and water (Donsbach recommends his Magnesium Dioxide which—we've tried it—is quite palatable), bathing in a solution of 8 oz 35% hydrogen peroxide to a filled bathtub, and one ounce of 35% to a gallon of water in a humidifier.

Additionally, some clinics use hyperbaric oxygen chambers, and we found one clinic that, while using this method with elderly cancer patients, suddenly discovered that those who had also suffered strokes were improving so much that now all they do is work with hyperbaric oxygen and stroke victims.

To add a boost to oxygen therapy, supplements of Garlic and DMG are often used, as well as germanium.
