INSIGHT

Press-Pulse Cancer Therapy

Dom D'Agostino's cancer research focuses on combining therapeutic ketosis with other modalities.
This "Press-Pulse" strategy aims to weaken tumors and enhance the effectiveness of treatments like hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

INSIGHT

Intravenous Vitamin C and Cancer

High-dose intravenous vitamin C acts as a pro-oxidant and glucose antagonist in cancer cells.
This makes it a potential addition to Press-Pulse therapy, increasing reactive oxygen species and inhibiting glucose uptake.

INSIGHT

Targeting Glutamine in Cancer

Glutamine is crucial for cancer cell growth and proliferation, making it a potential therapeutic target.
Inhibiting glutamine metabolism, alongside a ketogenic diet, could enhance cancer treatment outcomes.
