Hyper progressive disease (commonly called turbo cancers) operates a bit differently than previous cancers. It can use glutathione to decrease oxygen and thereby increases the growth rate of the cancer. Whereas before antioxidants and especially glutathione could help support the immune system to attack a cancer now the immune system does not recognize this type of cancer and does not attack it. With these new very aggressive cancers both standard and alternative approaches are often doing the opposite of what is needed to fight these cancers. Chemotherapy will reduce platelets and oxygen in the body. Antioxidants of course reduce oxygen in the body. Cryotherapy (cold plunge) reduces oxygen in the body. Monoclonal antibodies stimulate the immune system that does not readily recognize these cancers making it far less effective and can increase autoimmunity. (The 20% of people who find monoclonal antibodies helpful for standard cancers are the ones that also have high fevers as a side effect). Increasing oxygen is needed to destroy the new cancers. Healthy cells use oxygen and the mitochondria to produce energy. Cancer cells use a fermentation process that does not use oxygen to produce energy. Oxygen can impair cancer cells and support healthy cells . Things that are helpful in fighting this hyper progressive disease. Fasting. Stimulates autophagy that causes cells that are damaged to be destroyed. Also reduces fuel to the cancer cells that use 17x's the amount of energy that a normal cell uses. A high fat, low protein, zero carb diet (sugar feeds cancer and glutamate can feed it also) cancer does not use ketones for fuel. But it is not advisable to use vegetable/seed oils due to how highly inflammatory they are. The carnivore diet is the most nutrient dense and bioavailability diet. Having the probiotic L-rueteri. Reuterin (the metabolite of lactobacillus rueteri) induces protein oxidation, which reduces ribosomal biosynthesis and cancer cell growth. It has been shown to reduce cancer growth in pancreatitic cancer. You can make a fermentable dairy which has 300 billion L-rueteri per 1/2 cup. It also has many other benefits. Mega dosing vitamin B1 and B1 cofactors. B1 is necessary for using oxygen in the energy pathways of the body. 80% of the body's B1 is found in the mitochondria and necessary for mitochondrial health. A methylated B complex. When under stress the body quickly burns through B vitamins. To build good red blood cells B vitamins are essential. Especially B12 and B9 (folate). 40-60% of the population has the MTHFR genetic variation that impairs methylation, and using a synthetic B complex will further slow methylation. So getting a B vitamin complex that has methylcobalibam and methylefolate is very beneficial as it helps ease stress on the body (even it the person lacks MTHFR variation) the body can absorb and utilize a methylated form better. Methylene Blue. Methylene Blue is a donator and acceptor of electrons in the mitochondria. It is used in emergency rooms for metheglobinemia (where the body can not carry oxygen properly). Frankincense essential oil (not fragrance which is chemicals and has no healing properties) Frankincense has been shown to reduce inflammation (frankincense does not just block inflammation but changes and inflammatory cells into antiinflammatory cells)and promote blood flow (which ultimately increases the amount of oxygen in the brain and blood). It also has anticancer properties. MSM (methysulfonylmethane) can increase the permeability of cell walls, and in doing so your cells have a better chance of absorbing all-important nutrients and oxygen Iver mectin, fenben, artemisia.... "In one study, researchers found that combining artemisinin, a compound isolated from the wormwood plant, with high-pressure oxygen reduced cancer cell growth by 38%." Antiparasitics increases oxygen and kills parasites which can interfere with the body getting vital nutrients. Stop taking statins "Patients with low concentrations of low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, lowered as a result of taking statins, are at significantly more risk of being diagnosed as having cancer compared with patients with higher concentrations of the cholesterol, according to a meta-analysis of 23 large studies of statins" Exercise. Increases oxygen in the body. And breathing exercises too. Breathing through your nose increases oxygen especially during sleep so mouth taping would be helpful if you are a mouth breather at night. Quercetin and zinc. (quercetin helps get zinc into the cells) Some studies suggest quercetin may positively impact mitochondrial function, which is crucial for cellular energy production and oxygen utilization. Zinc can indirectly increase the body's oxygen levels by increasing the oxygen affinity of hemoglobin, meaning that red blood cells can bind more oxygen when zinc is present, effectively allowing for better oxygen delivery throughout the body. Creatine monohydrate is a key part of cellular metabolism, especially when oxygen is limited. It can help replenish adenosine triphosphate (ATP) without oxygen. And when there are low dietary creatine cancer is more likely (less than 1g) but when there is adequate creatine the risk of cancer goes down. Vitamin D levels can affect oxygenation in several ways, including: Improved oxygen rate Studies show that athletes with higher vitamin D levels have a higher oxygen consumption rate, which can help them breathe better and improve endurance. Improved tissue oxygenation Changes in vitamin D blood concentrations can affect blood parameters, which can improve tissue perfusion and oxygenation. Improved cardiorespiratory fitness Serum vitamin D levels predict maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max), which is a measure of cardiorespiratory fitness. The effect is greatest in people with low physical activity levels. Improved lung function Vitamin D deficiency can cause pulmonary function deficits, including lower lung volume. Reduced risk of acute respiratory distress syndrome Dr. Angus Dalgleish says the cancer treatments will not work without good vitamin D levels. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy Increased pressure allows your body to carry more oxygen. Red light therapy and/or infrared sauna therapy. Red Light Therapy enhances cellular energy production and promotes healing at a cellular level, HBOT floods the body with oxygen, optimizing the healing process. Infrared saunas cause blood vessels to dilate and improve blood flow and oxygen to tissues. They also stimulate the mitochondria to make melatonin in the cells. Melatonin is the most powerful antioxidant but according to current/recent research it does not increase the growth of hyper progressive disease. It is vital for clearing waste and toxins from the cells. Sleep. Sleep is necessary for the body to heal, detox, and repair. Your body needs good sleep. God bless.

My grandmother always said, 'Feed a cold and starve a fever.' She explained it to my 8yo brain as: if you were just bunged up, nutrition helps you get well, but if your body is fighting to fix you (the fever), help it by making it eat the bad stuff in your body. Very simplistic, but I now think she was talking about autophagy without realising it.

The best way to improve mitochondrial function is to do a few fasts between 72-96h!
