Redox therapy

Redox therapy is an experimental therapy[1][2] that aims to effect an outcome by modifying the levels of pro-oxidant and antioxidant agents in cells.[3] The term "redox" is a contraction of "reduction-oxidation". For cancer patients, the therapy is predicated on the idea that the redox state of cells may have an effect on cancer development.[4]
Historically, and in alternative medicine, the term "redox therapy" has also been used to describe the practice of administering high dosages of vitamins; in a 1984 study, high dosages of Menadione and Vitamin C were given to a patient.[5]
