Thinking about your first water fast? Here are Dr. Lodi's four essential tips.
1. The hardest part is deciding to start. Once your mind is truly made up, you will do it. The first day is the only day you can tell yourself 'I'll start tomorrow' — so go to bed early and get through it.
2. Use electrolytes. Half a teaspoon to a full teaspoon of Himalayan or sea salt in half a glass of water, twice a day. If you feel woozy or off, this will reset you immediately.
3. Read the masters. Not modern influencers — the people who fasted hundreds of thousands of patients over decades. Herbert M. Shelton, Hereward Carrington, Arnold Ehret, Paul Bragg. Reading their work while you fast gives your mind a reason to stay committed.
4. Rest and renew. Fasting is not deprivation. It is a profound act of renewal for the mind, body, and spirit. Give yourself permission to slow down.
At An Oasis of Healing, therapeutic fasting is one of the foundational pillars of our integrative approach to healing.

Restoring the function of the immune system is absolutely necessary to eliminate cancer. 🛡️
When the immune system is healthy and functioning properly, cancer cannot grow or metastasize. Supporting your immunity is essential to allowing the body to naturally control and prevent cancer progression.
It helps control how your cells produce energy, repair, and respond to stress. And when oxygen levels drop, those processes change — in ways that matter more than most people realize.
This shift is a key part of how cancer cells adapt and survive.
Here's the problem: vitamins and phytonutrients can't do their job without minerals. Minerals are what power enzymes — and enzymes are how biology happens. Every single one of the 37 to 100 sextillion chemical reactions happening in your body every second is mediated by an enzyme. Every enzyme needs a mineral to function. Without it, nothing works.
Magnesium alone is involved in 300 to 600 chemical reactions — including making ATP and DNA replication. Zinc drives over 300 enzymatic reactions and 2,000 transcription factors. Boron, manganese, and others are equally critical and almost never discussed.
You can eat perfectly and take every supplement on the market. Without adequate minerals, none of it matters.
A high-quality mineral supplement — ideally in liquid form from a fulvic or shale source — is one of the most overlooked foundations of cellular health.

The question of how much protein you need is based on a fundamental misunderstanding of human biology.
Your body cannot use protein directly. If protein from any source were injected into your bloodstream, the result would be anaphylactic shock. What your body actually uses are amino acids — the building blocks that protein breaks down into during digestion.
Of the 20 amino acids, your body manufactures 11 on its own. You only need to obtain 9 from food — the essential amino acids. And those 9 are found in virtually everything: mushrooms, beans, broccoli, lettuce. Protein deficiency in the developed world is essentially nonexistent. In 30 years of hospital medicine, Dr. Lodi never admitted a single patient for protein malnourishment.
The real nutritional question worth asking isn't about protein. It's about healthy fats — the macronutrient that is genuinely difficult to obtain in adequate amounts from a modern diet.
At An Oasis of Healing, nutritional guidance is built around what the body actually needs — not what the supplement industry wants you to believe it needs.
Cellular stress, inflammation, nutrient status, detoxification, immune function, and metabolic health all influence how abnormal cells develop and behave. It’s about biology and understanding the factors we can influence.
At An Oasis of Healing, we don’t just look at one pathway—we look at the whole system. Our approach is designed to support the body, restore balance, and address the underlying conditions that allow disease processes to persist.
There is no universal IV vitamin C dose. The right amount depends entirely on one number: 350mg/dL.
That's the plasma concentration at which IV vitamin C directly and selectively targets cancer cells. Everything below that threshold is just filling a deficit — not achieving the therapeutic goal.
Before getting IV vitamin C, oral supplementation needs to be in place first. Without an adequate oral baseline, the IV simply goes toward meeting your body's minimum requirements instead of reaching therapeutic levels. The protocol at An Oasis of Healing starts with 2 grams of liposomal sodium ascorbate, four times daily, for at least two weeks before beginning IV.
Once IV begins, plasma levels are checked after each session. If 350mg/dL wasn't reached at 50g, the dose is adjusted. Some patients need 75g or more. There is no guessing.
If you don't have cancer, IV vitamin C isn't necessary. Adequate oral supplementation satisfies all physiological requirements — and if you had enough vitamin C consistently, you would be far less likely to develop cancer in the first place.
The human body is a complex system. Cells, tissues, and organs constantly communicate through biochemical signals, nerves, and the immune system. When one part is out of balance, it affects the whole system.
At An Oasis of Healing, we take a systemic approach. We look for patterns, identify imbalances, and support the body’s natural ability to restore balance. Integrative medicine works across physical, metabolic, and emotional levels, helping the body function as a coordinated, self-regulating whole.
Vitamin C doesn’t work against cancer in just one way — it supports the body on multiple fronts.
We refer to cancer cells as CFCs (chronically fermenting cells) because this term describes what these cells truly are.
1. Vitamin C depletes CFCs of their antioxidant defenses. Once CFCs absorb vitamin C, they burn through their protective enzymes and become vulnerable — unable to defend themselves.
2. It reverses epigenetic changes. CFCs reprogram their genetics to survive. Ascorbate activates an enzyme system that undoes that reprogramming and can turn CFCs back into healthy cells.
3. It blocks tumor growth. Vitamin C inhibits angiogenesis — the process by which tumors build new blood vessels to feed themselves — and slows tissue proliferation.
4. It reactivates the immune system. Specifically, it shifts immunity back to TH1 mode, which is the state in which your body actively hunts and destroys CFCs.
The protocol at An Oasis of Healing: adequate oral vitamin C daily, plus IV two to three times per week, with plasma levels checked to confirm therapeutic dosing.

High dose vitamin C was declared a lie in the 1970s. The problem? The study that dismissed it used the wrong delivery method.
Linus Pauling — a two-time Nobel Prize winner — had conducted studies with cancer patients using IV vitamin C. Results were significant. When a government research body tried to replicate it, they gave it orally instead. They got no results, declared the therapy ineffective, and that conclusion stuck for decades.
The truth is simple: oral vitamin C maxes out at a few hundred milligrams of absorption. IV vitamin C reaches plasma concentrations that oral supplementation never can. They were testing a completely different thing.
From 2000 to 2008, the National Institutes of Health under Dr. Mark Levine identified the exact mechanism by which high-dose vitamin C selectively targets cancer cells. Clinical trials at the University of Kansas followed, focusing on ovarian and breast cancer.
The science is settled. It is no longer controversial in research circles. The only place the controversy persists is in the average doctor's office.
This is why An Oasis of Healing has integrated high-dose IV vitamin C into its cancer care protocols for decades.

There are three forms of vitamin C most people encounter — ascorbic acid, sodium ascorbate, and liposomal. They are not the same thing, and the difference matters.
Ascorbic acid is the acidic form. Sodium ascorbate is the salt form. Both are absorbed the same way orally — and both max out at around 200–300mg per dose before your gut stops absorbing. Everything above that is wasted.
Liposomal vitamin C is different. The ascorbate is enclosed in a tiny fat bubble that bypasses your digestive system entirely, traveling through your lymphatic system instead. The result is dramatically higher absorption — up to 2 grams at a time.
And the form your cells actually prefer? Sodium ascorbate. Your cells are designed to pick it up directly. Ascorbic acid has to drop its hydrogen and find sodium before it can enter — an extra step your body has to compensate for.
The protocol Dr. Lodi recommends at An Oasis of Healing: liposomal sodium ascorbate, 2 grams, four times a day.

An Oasis of Healing is an integrative cancer treatment center in Arizona that provides alternative cancer treatments and options. We specialize in targeting cancer, healing cancer, enhancing the immune system, and teaching our patients how to stop making cancer so that it doesn't return.
By incorporating alternative and conventional medical services, natural healing modalities, high quality nutritional products, and a unique educational and training program, we inspire patients to regain their birthright – health.
Health is the Natural condition of all creatures and is the consequence of each performing its function in the niche or habitat out of which its role emerged.
Humanity has become separated from Nature to the extent that it no longer functions out of instinct but rather out of a multitude of cultural interpretations, each of which views Nature as contrary, unpredictable, dangerous and in need of being subdued and even conquered. This fundamental worldview has spawned the ‘battle,’ “man vs nature” which has raged for untold millennia and resulted in what is known as, ‘civilization’ fabricated equally out of, both arrogance and ignorance delivering its progeny, a malignant miasma.
It is out of this background that we have come into being with a powerful resolve and ambition.
Our purpose then, is to inspire those lost in the quagmire of disease to take back their birthright of exuberant health through our holistic cancer treatments. Health of the body is unbounding energy and that of the mind is joy. Each of us must be a living example of how health is manifest in the human form and inflame those that we meet with the fire of hope to awaken and provoke in them the memory of childhoods’ promise, that anything is possible as we laugh and skip along to the harmony of Nature.

We are an Arizona cancer center that opened our doors in Mesa, AZ in February of 2006 offering to those diagnosed with cancer, the amassed knowledge and experience regarding the treatment and healing of cancer derived from years in Japan, Europe, Mexico and the United States. Those affiliations with other centers around the world have continued to this day insuring that not only will the reliance on Nature continue to serve as the foundation of healing, but that any and all scientifically validated therapies, from stem cells to immune modulating substances to technically advanced therapeutic interventions will be evaluated and incorporated, as appropriate.
Both health and disease are earned. It’s impossible to walk down the street and “catch” either one. Health and disease are not the causes. They are merely the consequences such as experiencing pain or having a difficult time breathing. These are simply the symptoms that alert us to, “Hey something is wrong here”. These symptoms are often considered to be a diagnosis rather than looking deeper into the root cause. A diagnosis of a headache (hematemesis) or having difficulty breathing (dyspnea) is just a description of a symptom, nothing more. There is nothing magical about making a diagnosis. Unfortunately, once a diagnosis is made is when the tragedy occurs because all the work that was going into the cause stops! Thus, the treatment prescribed only addresses the diagnosis and not the root cause, i.e. pain medication is given to help relieve only the symptom and not the cause. Clearly, the cause of these conditions have not been identified and eradicated, there is not only no assurance that these problems will not occur again but rather it is likely that they will.
At large, cancer is considered to be the “enemy” and a “war on cancer” has been declared. Outside of ci******es and the to***co industry, we are lead to believe that the majority of factors that contribute to the onset of cancer are in fact out of our control. The most common factors given are stress pollution and genetics.Cancer in fact, is the name that we have given to the extraordinary effort of the body to protect us against chronic irritation. Consequently, cancer has been termed, “the wound that wouldn’t heal.”
What is not a mystery are the conditions that lead to the development of cancer. If a person is to start on a path of becoming cancer free they first need to stop what they were doing that lead to the cancer development (i.e. smoking ci******es, eating processed foods, etc.) and secondly, they need to make sure that healthy cells are being produced. A simpler way to put it is they need to learn to stop making cancer.
Your full participation is critical to healing from cancer. At An Oasis Of Healing, patients will learn how to stop making cancer through training, education and study. The notion of being passive while being treated here must be discarded and in its place focus on coming to our healing center with the commitment to learn how to recover your vitality and vigor and the bliss of health.
What must not be forgotten is that the absence of health or “disease” is simply the body trying to restore its optimal functioning. Health is not the absence of anything, it is in fact the presence of something, it is one’s ability to regenerate, rejuvenate and procreate. Health is when a person lives concordant with the biological laws that preside over the functioning of the organism.
What you need to know is this: it really doesn’t matter how effective a doctor or a team of doctors are at eliminating cancer if the patient involved continues making cancer cells. This is why we target the cancer, enhance the immune system, AND teach people how to stop making cancer so that the cancer does NOT return.
