What is cancer?

Our body has different types of cells which grow and multiply several times in a day to maintain normal function. Occasionally this cell division is affected and creates a wrong cell or an abnormal cell. These divide further in an uncontrolled way affecting the other parts of the body. These cells which divide abnormally are called cancer cells. These cells can locally infiltrate the adjacent organs or invade the blood and lymphatic system and cause spread or metastasis. The metabolic theory of cancer suggests that cancer originates from metabolic dysfunction in cells, particularly related to increased consumption of glucose and glutamine, increased glycolysis, changes in the   use of metabolic enzyme isoforms, and increased secretion of lactate.

Metabolic Theory of Cancer

The metabolic theory of cancer posits that the transformation of normal cells into cancerous cells is driven by a fundamental change in cellular energy metabolism, rather than genetic mutations being the primary cause. According to this theory:

1.Warburg Effect:

Warburg observed that cancer cells tend to rely on glycolysis for energy production, even in the presence of oxygen (aerobic glycolysis), rather than using the more efficient process of oxidative phosphorylation in the mitochondria.

This shift to glycolysis allows cancer cells to generate energy rapidly and produce the building blocks needed for rapid cell growth, even though it’s a less efficient way to produce ATP (energy).

2.Mitochondrial Dysfunction:

The metabolic theory suggests that damage or dysfunction in the mitochondria, the cell’s energy powerhouses, plays a central role in the development of cancer.

Mitochondrial dysfunction can lead to a reliance on glycolysis and create an environment that favors the survival and proliferation of cancer cells.

Symptoms

Symptoms of cancer vary depending on the type, location, and stage of the disease. Common symptoms can include:

1.Unexplained weight loss

2.Persistent fatigue

3.Changes in skin appearance (such as new moles or sores that don’t heal)

4.Persistent cough or trouble breathing

5.Changes in bowel or bladder habits

6.Unusual bleeding or discharge

7.Lumps or masses that can be felt under the skin

8.Persistent pain, especially if it is unexplained

Types of cancers that we treat

Cancer can only survive in the body if there is,

1.An acidic environment in the body

2.Low level of vitamin c in the body

3.Defective mitochondrial function

4.Reduced oxygen levels

5.Excess amount of glucose supply

6.Increased oxidative stress

This is common in all types and stages of cancer. We at MIHC treat cancer as a metabolic disorder by addressing these systemic factors that promotes the progression of cancers.

Bladder cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, oral cancer, liver(hepatocellular)cancer, pancreatic cancer, kidney(renal cell) cancer, lymphoma, leukaemia, colorectal cancer, uterine cancer, cervical cancer, brain tumours, gastric cancer, ovarian cancer, bone cancer etc.., we specialize in handling all types of carcinomas, sarcomas, myelomas, leukaemia, and lymphomas.

Common therapies/treatments we offer

Oncothermia, also known as modulated electro-hyperthermia (mEHT), is a form of cancer treatment that combines hyperthermia (heat therapy) with electrical modulation. It aims to selectively target and destroy cancer cells by raising their temperature while sparing healthy tissues.Read more

Studies have shown that oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, and cancer are closely linked, with Vitamin C emerging as a potent antioxidant capable of scavenging a wide variety of free radicals and reducing oxidative stress. High dose Vitamin C (IVC) plays a significant role in cancer management by generating hydrogen peroxide, which selectively destroys cancer cells, reducing inflammation, and boosting the immune system.Read more

Welcome to our comprehensive guide on Medical Ozone Therapy, an innovative alternative treatment that harnesses the power of ozone gas to address a variety of health conditions. This cutting-edge therapy capitalizes on the unique properties of ozone (O3), a molecule consisting of three oxygen atoms, to enhance overall wellness and combat numerous chronic diseases.Read more

Far infrared light is in the frequency of invisible light that is generated naturally by the sun. Far Infrared rays cannot be perceived by our eyes but can be felt as a gentle radiant heat.Read more

Heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, mercury, and arsenic have been implicated in the development of heart disease for decades. These toxic metals can substitute essential metals like iron and copper in the body, leading to impaired cell function. Heavy metals promote inflammation, free radical damage, and oxidative stress, which contribute to endothelial dysfunction—the initial stage of heart disease.Read more

Oxidation is a normal process that occurs during respiration. Oxidative stress, on the other hand, occurs when there is an imbalance between free radicals and anti-oxidants in our body. Free radicals are unstable molecules with unpaired electrons which are highly dangerous. Anti-oxidants can bind these free radicals and stabilize them.Read more

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that is essential for maintaining healthy bones and teeth, supporting the immune system, brain, and nervous system, and regulating insulin levels.Read more

Hydrogen therapy, often referred to as molecular hydrogen therapy, involves using hydrogen gas (H2) for its potential therapeutic benefits. Molecular hydrogen is a small, non-toxic gas that can easily diffuse across cell membranes, potentially offering various health benefits due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic (preventing cell death) properties.Read more

Hyperbaric Ozone Therapy, a groundbreaking treatment that combines the therapeutic benefits of ozone with the principles of hyperbaric oxygen therapy. This innovative approach enhances the delivery of ozone gas in a pressurized environment, significantly increasing its effectiveness in promoting healing and overall well-being.Read more
