According to Cancer Research UK, although there is some evidence Hydrazine sulfate might help some people with cancer gain weight, "there is no evidence that it helps to treat cancer". [158] Hyperbaric chamber. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy – the use of a pressurized oxygen environment as therapy.
The NK-92 cell line is an immortalised cell line that has the characteristics of a type of immune cell found in human blood called ’natural killer’ (NK) cells. Blood NK cells and NK-92 cells recognize and attack cancer cells as well as cells that have been infected with a virus, bacteria, or fungus. [1]
In the 1950s, scientists began systematically examining natural organisms as a source of useful anti-cancer substances. [1] It has been argued that "the use of natural products has been the single most successful strategy in the discovery of novel medicines". [3]
The Mayo Clinic team tested a combination of a commonly used cancer drug, dasatinib, and a compound found in some foods and sold as a supplement, quercetin — which had shown promise in killing ...
New tests done by the Environmental Working Group have found 21 oat-based cereals and snack bars popular amongst children to have "troubling levels of glyphosate." The chemical, which is the ...
Natural killer cells, also known as NK cells, are a type of cytotoxic lymphocyte critical to the innate immune system.They are a kind of large granular lymphocytes [1] [2] (LGL), and belong to the rapidly expanding family of known innate lymphoid cells (ILC) and represent 5–20% of all circulating lymphocytes in humans.

In 2017, one retrospective, observational study suggested that people who chose alternative medicine instead of conventional treatments were more than twice as likely to die within five years of diagnosis. [10] Breast cancer patients choosing alternative medicine were 5.68 times more likely to die within five years of diagnosis. [10]
In cell biology, a lymphokine-activated killer cell (also known as a LAK cell) is a white blood cell, consisting mostly of natural killer, natural killer T, and T cells that has been stimulated to kill tumor cells, but because of the function in which they activate, and the cells they can successfully target, they are classified as different than the classical natural killer and T lymphocyte ...
