Below is a series of research studies conducted in the field of cancer treatment and anti-tumour effects of various substances were explored. Kagawa and colleagues (2012) investigated the “Influence of Hydrogen Discharged from Palladium Base Hydrogen Storage Alloys on Cancer Cells,” while Asada et al. (2010) studied the “Antitumor effects of nano-bubble hydrogen-dissolved water enhanced by coexistent platinum colloid and combined hyperthermia with apoptosis-like cell death.” Chen et al. (2015) delved into “The antitumor properties of biomedical magnesium metal,” and Dole et al. (1975) explored “Hyperbaric hydrogen therapy as a possible treatment for cancer.” Various other studies investigated the effects of electrolysed reduced water, atomic hydrogen, and hydrogen-rich water on cancer cells and tumour growth. These studies shed light on the potential of hydrogen-based treatments, electrolysed water, and metal alloys in suppressing cancer cell growth, inhibiting tumour invasion, and inducing cell death in various cancer types. The research underscores the importance of exploring alternative therapeutic approaches in the treatment of cancer and highlights the potential of hydrogen-based interventions in cancer therapy.
