Ovarian Cancer - Inaccurate Screenings, Treatment and Ozone

[fa icon="calendar'] Mar 23, 2017 5:00:00 AM / by Winter Ninivaggi

Diagnosing and treating ovarian cancer.

Unfortunately, there are currently no screening tests for ovarian cancer sensitive enough to reliably screen without a high number of inaccurate results. This has the potential to delay treatment for asymptomatic women with early-stage ovarian cancer, which could also result in unnecessary medical procedures if a woman receives false positive test results. The FDA recommended that women at high risk of developing ovarian cancer, including those with BRCA mutations, should be referred to a genetic counselor, gynecologic oncologist, or other appropriate health care provider for more specialized care. It is also necessary that both the patient and her clinician have a high index of suspicion in symptomatic women. Women presenting with persistent and progressive symptoms, such as an increase in bloating, pelvic or abdominal pain, or difficulty eating or feeling full quickly, should be evaluated for ovarian cancer.

1. True or False. There are several highly sensitive and reliable screening tests that are clinically proven to accurately diagnose ovarian cancer.

A. True
B. False

 2. The use of the screening tests that claim to detect ovarian cancer before symptoms occur ________________________________.

3. True or False. Women at high risk of developing ovarian cancer, including those with BRCA mutations, should be referred to a genetic counselor, gynecologic oncologist, or other appropriate health care provider for more specialized care.
A. True

4. The best approach in the detection of ovarian cancer is for _____________ to have a high index of suspicion of the diagnosis in symptomatic women.
A. The patient
B. The patient’s clinician
C. Both the patient and her clinician
 
5. When both the patient and her clinician have a high index of suspicion of the diagnosis in symptomatic women, those presenting with persistent and progressive symptoms such as which of the following, should be evaluated for ovarian cancer?

Whether our patients are doing standard chemo protocols and radiation they choose to get I.V. ozone therapies to address oxygen deficiencies (cancer cannot thrive in an oxygen rich environment), enhance their treatment and strengthen their immune system. Cancer and cancer treatments lower your oxygen utilization. Once chemo and radiation are finished we begin the process of Chemo Clean-up with specialized oral medicines, specific anti-inflammatory dietary strategies, exercise, hydrotherapy and I.V. glutathione or anti-oxidant nutrient drips.

Cancer IV: Recent studies at the NIH (National Institute of Health), conducted by Harvard Medical School researcher, Mark Levin, M.D. have demonstrated the anti-tumor effect of high dosage IV Vitamin C.  This same effect does not occur with oral vitamin C.  This therapy was originally developed by Nobel Prize Winner, Dr. Linus Pauling, expanded upon by Dr’s. Klenner and Cathcart and, more recently, Hugh Rirodan, M.D. Intravenous, high-dosage Vitamin C also reduces the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation for those receiving conventional medical therapies. This formula can be done in low, medium and high doses. Patients must do certain labs before they are cleared for high dose Vitamin C. We have several adjunctive natural plant chemotherapies that can be added to your formula.
