Will Oxygen Therapy Help To Cure Saliva Gland Cancer?

Hi, friend was just diagnosed with saliva gland cancer , they want to give him radiation and chemo. He is 64 otherwise in good health, good weight. Do you think that oxygen therapy would help ? Also, heavy doses of beet juice ? My Mom passed away one year ago today of this cancer and it took her in 4 months. So time is of the essence but she was 83 and not in great health. I wanted her to get hydrogen therapy and oxygen but she was not in a good place. Would you recommend them ?

First of all, the ideal treatment for salivary gland cancer is surgery and if required, to be followed up with radiotherapy. Surgery is not done only in cases where the disease is too advanced and cannot be removed. In such cases, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are given. Hydrogen or oxygen therapy has no role in curing any type of cancer anywhere in the body and i will strongly advise you against wasting precious time in this line.
