Glutathione is one of the body’s most powerful natural protectors. It helps defend your cells from damage, fights off toxins, and keeps you healthy—acting like an internal shield. It’s also one of your best defenses against harmful invaders like viruses, pathogens, and disease.

But here’s the twist: cancer cells use glutathione as armor. They build up large amounts of it to block attacks from your immune system—especially from T-cells and natural killer (NK) cells. These are the very immune cells that are supposed to find and destroy cancer. Glutathione helps cancer cells survive by absorbing damage before it can reach them.

Fortunately, there are natural compounds that can take down this shield. Berberine and green tea extract (EGCG) both help reduce glutathione inside cancer cells. This strips away the protection and makes cancer visible and vulnerable again. With the shield lowered, your T-cells and NK cells can get back to work. They release enzymes that punch holes in the cancer cell walls and trigger them to self-destruct—this time, the cancer can’t block the attack.

Radiation Therapy and Glutathione

Radiation therapy uses a similar idea but in a more forceful way. It creates a surge of oxidative damage inside cancer cells—a kind of internal explosion that damages their DNA and cell structure. This stress can trigger the cancer to break down, especially if its defenses are already weakened.

But there’s a catch: if you take antioxidants too soon after radiation, they can interfere. Antioxidants like vitamin C or curcumin can protect not just your healthy cells—but also the cancer. They can mop up the oxidative damage before it reaches the tumor, which reduces the effectiveness of the treatment.

Radiation is most powerful in the first 4 to 5 hours after each session. That’s when you want the cancer to be at its weakest—not protected. That’s why timing is critical. You should avoid taking antioxidants during this window.

My Morning Attack Phase

To get the most out of radiation, Protocol 2 includes a carefully timed Attack Phase early in the morning—before radiation, before eating, and while still fasting. This is when the cancer is already under stress from lack of fuel. Here’s what I take:

  • Apricot seeds (starting with 10, building up to 25–40)
  • Fenbendazole (1 gram)
  • Sweet Wormwood (950 mg)
  • Berberine (600 mg)
  • Cat’s Claw (1000 mg)
  • Ursolic Acid (150 mg)
  • Turkey Tail mushroom (5 grams)
  • Omega-3 (2 capsules)
  • Liposomal Lactoferrin (1000 mg)
  • Ivermectin (weight-based, radiation days only)

These supplements work together to suppress the cancer, strip away its defenses, and prepare it for destruction.

When I Avoid Antioxidants

I do not take any antioxidants during the morning or before radiation. I wait at least 5 hours after radiation treatment—once the oxidative window has passed. If antioxidants are taken too soon, they can cancel out the effects of radiation. Even doctors warn against using antioxidants during treatment unless they’re timed perfectly.

Radiation is trying to destroy the cancer with controlled oxidation. Antioxidants taken at the wrong time do the opposite—they neutralize the damage and may protect the cancer.

My Antioxidant Phase (5+ Hours Later)

At the 5-hour mark, I begin my Antioxidant Phase. This is when I take a mix of strong antioxidants to protect healthy tissue and repair the body. These include:

  • Curcumin
  • Sulforaphane
  • Apigenin & Fisetin
  • Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA)
  • Vitamin C
  • Resveratrol

This phase helps shut down cancer’s growth signals and supports immune recovery. Antioxidants also help lower glutathione in the cancer cells, making them easier to attack in the next cycle.

EGCG and Emotional Recovery

I drink a lot of decaf green tea, which contains EGCG. EGCG lowers blood sugar, weakens glutathione, and shuts down growth signals like mTOR. It also helps calm the nervous system.

However, I do not drink green tea in the mornings during radiation. EGCG is an antioxidant, and taking it too close to radiation could protect the cancer.

Instead, I rely on berberine in the morning, which offers many of the same benefits without interfering with oxidative therapy.

Final Thought

Managing stress is just as important as managing supplements. When the body is stressed, it releases adrenaline and insulin—two hormones that can feed cancer. That’s why staying calm is not just good for your mind—it’s part of the treatment plan.

By lowering glutathione at the right time, avoiding antioxidants during radiation, and reactivating the immune system afterward, you give yourself the best possible chance to beat cancer at the root.
