Ovarian Cancer Treatment: Why Adding IV Therapeutics Might Help

According to the American Cancer Society, Ovarian cancer ranks fifth in cancer deaths among women, accounting for more deaths than any other cancer of the female reproductive system. A woman’s risk of getting ovarian cancer during her lifetime is about 1 in 78. Her lifetime chance of dying from ovarian cancer is about 1 in 108. (These statistics don’t count low malignant potential ovarian tumors.)1

If left untreated, ovarian cancer rapidly grows and spreads into the abdominal and pelvic areas. Today, we’re able to diagnose the initial onset of these symptoms better, as we now know that most of them are directly related to ovarian and reproductive cancers and disorders. However, the key is to make certain that women who are experiencing any of these symptoms go to their physician immediately to be tested.

Ovarian Cancer Treatment
Whether ovarian (or other) cancer treatment entails surgery, chemotherapy, radiation treatments, reconstructive surgery, or alternative therapies, the bottom line is that these individuals are left feeling weak, tired and sick, and many times patients find it entirely overwhelming to function on a daily basis. Afterall, with chemo and radiation therapy, healthy cells are also being destroyed along with the cancerous cells, which causes severe oxidative stress.

In addition to the symptoms mentioned above, during radiation or chemotherapy, it’s difficult to fight off infections. Many experts agree that nutrition, sleep, limiting stress, exercise (yes, it helps with fatigue), and supplements are important to help patients regenerate and ultimately feel better during and after their treatment.

Some of the most common side effects of cancer treatment are pain, nausea, and vomiting, brain fog, extreme fatigue, loss of appetite, hormonal disruptions, weight gain, hot flashes, anxiety, and trouble sleeping. The good news is that some IV nutrients have the ability to decrease some of the aforementioned symptoms.

Gene and DNA expression and energy can be revved up by certain antioxidants and nutrients with IV infusions, such as Vitamin C, glutathione (master antioxidant) NAD, and ALA to name a few. Talking to you oncologist can be helpful.

Why IV & Chelation Therapy Rather Than Oral Supplementation?
IV therapy administers high dose vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other essential nutrients to fight disease, eliminate symptoms, and alleviate associated effects. Many individuals have digestive malfunctions and liver complications that prevent oral medications and supplementations from getting into the bloodstream and to the appropriate cells in the body.

IV Therapy Can help combat many disorders. These are a few of the top contenders in IV therapeutics:
A few examples of IV treatments are Alpha Lipoic Acid, Chelation, Glutathione, High-Dose Vitamin C, Meyer’s Cocktail, and Magnesium. These IV treatments help with countless issues from asthma, arthritis, diabetes, cholesterol, hormonal disorders, and so much more. Glutathione is one of the most potent antioxidants and is a master at detoxifying and healing the body.
