At Mirakle Integrated Health Centre, clinical care and scientific discovery go hand in hand. Our multidisciplinary team investigates how naturopathy, yoga, functional nutrition, Siddha, homeopathy, acupuncture, modern oncology, and cutting-edge biotherapies can work synergistically to prevent, control, and reverse chronic disease — especially cancer.

At MIHC, we pursue scientific evidence-based therapies — from high-dose intravenous Vitamin C and oncothermia to yoga-integrated metabolic nutrition — so every protocol is rooted in peer-reviewed data, not anecdote. By targeting the metabolic drivers of disease (mitochondrial dysfunction, insulin resistance, and chronic inflammation), our research and clinical programs create deeper, more durable impact than symptom-focused care. Beyond our walls, we translate these findings into global health education, sharing open-access publications, webinars, and community trainings that empower patients and professionals worldwide to adopt lifestyle-centered, integrative strategies for prevention and healing.

THERAPIES

High-Dose Vitamin C / Intravenous Vitamin C

Brief Overview

Vitamin C is a crucial nutrient that plays a vital role in the body — from boosting immunity to fighting oxidative stress and supporting overall health. Oxidative stress and chronic inflammation are major contributors to cancer development, and research shows that Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps combat these harmful effects.

High-dose intravenous Vitamin C (IVC) plays a crucial role in cancer management by producing hydrogen peroxide, which selectively targets and destroys cancer cells while protecting healthy ones. It also reduces inflammation, strengthens the immune system, and helps reinforce the collagen barrier around tumors, potentially lowering the risk of metastasis.

When used alongside chemotherapy and radiation therapy — typically the day before or after treatment — IVC can enhance their effectiveness. At lower doses, Vitamin C acts as a strong antioxidant that supports immune function, reduces fatigue, and promotes overall health, making it a valuable addition to both disease prevention and wellness strategies.

How the Treatment is Performed

Oral Liposomal Vitamin C: Liposomes are tiny, nano-sized fat-soluble vehicles designed to carry nutrients directly to the body's cells. Liposomal Vitamin C is encapsulated in a way that mimics the structure of bodily cells, allowing it to pass through the digestive barrier efficiently and deliver the nutrient directly into the bloodstream. This method significantly enhances the absorption rate, achieving approximately 90%, compared to traditional oral Vitamin C supplements.

Intravenous: Intravenous administration of Vitamin C ranges from low to high doses, typically between 7.5 grams and 100 grams, depending on the patient's body weight. The usual dosage is up to 1.5 grams per kilogram of body weight. This tailored approach ensures that patients receive an appropriate and effective amount of Vitamin C based on their individual needs.

Other Health Conditions Vitamin C Can Be Used For

• Age-Related Degeneration – Helps combat oxidative stress and slow the aging process.
• Cardiovascular Diseases – Supports heart health by reducing oxidative damage and improving blood vessel function.
• Inflammatory Disease Conditions – Reduces inflammation and alleviates symptoms associated with conditions like arthritis.
• Autoimmune Conditions – Modulates immune system activity and reduces inflammation.
• Respiratory Disorders – Enhances immune response and reduces the severity of conditions like asthma and COPD.
• Detoxification and Recovery – Aids in detoxifying the body and speeding up recovery from illnesses or surgeries.
• Skin Health – Promotes collagen production, improves skin texture, and reduces signs of aging.
• Cognitive Health – Supports brain function and may protect against neurodegenerative diseases.

Important Considerations (Contraindications)

• G6PD Deficiency: Patients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency may experience hemolysis (destruction of red blood cells) when receiving high doses of Vitamin C.
• Iron Overload Disorders: Conditions such as hemochromatosis can be exacerbated by Vitamin C, which enhances iron absorption.

EDTA Chelation Therapy: Detoxifying Heavy Metals & Supporting Health

What is Chelation Therapy?

Chelation therapy is a medical treatment designed to remove toxic heavy metals from the body. It involves the administration of Ethylenediamine Tetraacetic Acid (EDTA), a synthetic amino acid that binds with heavy metals like lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic. These metals contribute to inflammation, oxidative stress, and various chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disorders.

Chelation Therapy and Cardiovascular Health

Heavy Metals & Heart Disease: Research has linked heavy metal toxicity to an increased risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) and peripheral artery disease (PAD). These metals promote oxidative stress, inflammation, and endothelial dysfunction, leading to arterial calcification and blood vessel damage.

How EDTA Helps:

• Binds heavy metals, removing toxic substances that cause cellular damage.
• Reduces artery calcification and enhances blood vessel flexibility and circulation.
• Improves blood flow, potentially benefiting those with PAD and high blood pressure.
• Lowers oxidative stress, helping prevent further cardiovascular complications.

Additional Health Benefits of EDTA Chelation Therapy

1. Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD): Improves blood circulation and reduces symptoms in individuals suffering from PAD caused by heavy metal accumulation.
2. Heavy Metal Poisoning: A well-established treatment for acute and chronic heavy metal poisoning, helping to remove toxins from the bloodstream and tissues.
3. Cognitive Decline & Neurotoxicity: May reduce the heavy metal burden linked to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Also plays a role in reducing neurotoxicity by eliminating lead and mercury, which impair cognitive function.
4. Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD): Used in children with autism who have elevated heavy metal levels, though more research is required in this area.
5. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS): May help relieve fatigue in patients whose symptoms are linked to heavy metal toxicity and oxidative stress.
6. Diabetes & Metabolic Disorders: Can improve insulin sensitivity and reduce oxidative stress, potentially benefiting diabetic patients.
7. Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): May help lower blood pressure by enhancing arterial health and reducing inflammation caused by toxic metal accumulation.
8. Cancer Supportive Therapy: Supports cancer treatment by reducing toxic metal load, alleviating chemotherapy-related side effects, and potentially exhibiting direct anti-cancer properties.

How Chelation Therapy is Performed

Oral Chelation Therapy:

• Involves taking chelation agents in pill or liquid form.
• The chelating agents bind to heavy metals, which are then excreted through urine and feces.
• Less invasive than IV chelation but may take longer to show results.

Intravenous (IV) Chelation Therapy:

• A solution containing EDTA is administered via an IV line, typically in the arm.
• The dose is calculated based on the patient's body weight and health condition.
• The infusion takes 1.5 to 3 hours and is done under medical supervision.

Important Considerations

• ✔ Medical Evaluation: A thorough assessment — including a detailed medical history, physical examination, and lab tests — is necessary to determine eligibility.
• ✔ Kidney & Liver Function Tests: Since the kidneys excrete chelated metals, proper kidney function is essential for safety.
• ✔ Hydration: Staying well-hydrated before and after treatment helps protect the kidneys and enhance detoxification.
