As mentioned earlier, a large quantity of Lactic Acid is produced under cancer
induced anaerobic glycolysis.
A high concentration of lactic acid in the tissue are extremely toxic for two
reasons. First it stimulates tumor cells to metastasize and second it induces
production of angiogenic factors by macrophages. As a result, more blood vessels
are formed around the tumor and this further stimulates tumor growth.
Lactic acid production in tumor cells is enhanced by the following factors:
a) Hypoxia (low content of oxygen in the tissue).
b) High pH levels in side & outside the tumor cell.
c) High Intake of simple sugar such as glucose.
On the other hand lactic acid production may be reduced by:
a) High levels of oxygen in the tissue.
b) Low pH levels in side & outside the tumor cell.
c) Less sugar intake.
For these reasons, oxygen and ozone therapies, and consumption of apple cider
vinegar, do provide some benefits in the overall management of cancer.
