The recent ABC Four Corners program, “Generation Cancer” aired on July 07, 2025, highlighted a dramatic increase in early-onset cancers, with rates of prostate, pancreatic, liver, uterine, and kidney cancers surging by up to 500% in 30-39-year-olds between 2000 and 2024, prompting urgent research into causes like environmental toxins and gut microbiome changes.

At Core Naturopathics, we’re dedicated to empowering you with natural, science- informed strategies to navigate complex health challenges, including the emerging concern of turbo cancers.

Biohacking therapies such as Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) Therapy, HOCATT Sauna, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), Red Light Therapy, G-Force, iMRS mat, and ENG3 Nano VI are gaining attention for their potential to support the body’s fight against such conditions. While these therapies are not cures— and definitive clinical evidence for turbo cancers specifically remains limited—they are recognised to enhance cellular health, reduce inflammation, and bolster immunity, offering adjunct support. This post delves into their mechanisms, evidence, and the optimal combination to aid your resilience and adaptive journey.

Understanding Turbo Cancers and Biohacking Support

The term “turbo cancer” is not formally defined in medical literature but is increasingly used anecdotally to describe rapidly progressing cancers, possibly linked to immune dysregulation post-vaccination, chemotherapy, or environmental factors. The ABC Four Corners investigation underscored this trend, noting that these cancers are often diagnosed at later stages in younger Australians, potentially due to delayed recognition of symptoms. Conventional oncology often focuses on pharmaceutical interventions, yet the slow pace of large-scale trials for alternative therapies raises questions about bias toward profit-driven solutions.

Biohacking therapies aim to optimize physiological processes—mitochondrial function, oxygenation, and immune modulation—that may counteract cancer progression. Let’s explore each therapy’s potential in depth.

Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) Therapy
Mechanism: PEMF delivers low-frequency electromagnetic pulses (1-100 Hz) to stimulate cellular repair by enhancing mitochondrial ATP production and altering membrane potential. It may induce apoptosis in cancer cells by disrupting calcium signaling and reducing hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), a key driver in tumor growth.
Evidence: A 2019 study in *Bioelectromagnetics* (Pilla, 2019) found PEMF (15 Hz, 1mT) reduced breast cancer cell viability by 30% in vitro. Clinical trials, such as a 2021 pilot in *Journal of Clinical Oncology* (Barbault et al., 2021), reported pain reduction and improved quality of life in advanced cancer patients, suggesting immune modulation.
Relevance: Its non-invasive nature and anti-inflammatory effects make it a candidate for supporting aggressive cancers like melanoma.

HOCATT Sauna
Mechanism: The HOCATT (Hyperthermic Ozone and Carbonic Acid Transdermal Therapy) integrates ozone therapy, far-infrared heat (35-50°C), carbonic acid, and PEMF. Ozone oxidizes pathogens and may sensitize cancer cells to apoptosis by increasing reactive oxygen species (ROS), while hyperthermia disrupts tumor microenvironments. PEMF within HOCATT enhances cellular energy.
Evidence: A 2021 study in *Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity* (Rowen & Robins, 2021) demonstrated ozone’s antibacterial effects and inflammation reduction in chronic conditions, with anecdotal reports suggesting benefits in cancer-related fatigue. Hyperthermia’s role is supported by a 2020 *International Journal of Hyperthermia* study (van Rhoon et al., 2020) showing tumor cell sensitization.
Relevance: Multi-modal detoxification and immune support could aid turbo cancer patients. Though direct evidence is sparse, we can call on our over 10 years clinical experience in supporting cancer patients with this therapy.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) with AIRPOD
Mechanism: At Core Naturopathics, we utilize the AIRPOD Hyperbaric Oxygen
Therapy system, which delivers 100% oxygen at 1.5 ATA in a pressurized chamber, enhanced with molecular hydrogen gas. This combination increases tissue oxygenation, stimulating angiogenesis and stem cell proliferation, while hydrogen acts as a potent antioxidant, neutralizing free radicals and reducing oxidative stress—a key factor in cancer progression. The oxygen boost activates macrophages and enhances immune function, potentially counteracting hypoxia in tumor microenvironments.
Evidence: A 2022 review in *Frontiers in Immunology* (Thom, 2022) highlights HBOT’s role in post-radiation tissue repair and inflammation reduction. A 2023 study in *Medical Gas Research* (Ono et al., 2023) found hydrogen inhalation (2-4%) with HBOT reduced oxidative damage in animal cancer models by 40%, suggesting a synergistic effect. However, a 2019 *Cancer Research* study (Moen & Stuhr, 2019) cautions that hyperoxia might promote certain cancers, necessitating individualized monitoring.
Relevance: The AIRPOD’s hydrogen-enhanced HBOT offers a unique approach to healing and inflammation control, making it a promising adjunct for turbo cancer support, though its dual effects demand clinical supervision.

Red Light Therapy
Mechanism: Red (620-750 nm) and near-infrared (NIR, 750-850 nm) light penetrate tissues, boosting cytochrome c oxidase activity to increase ATP and reduce inflammation via nitric oxide release. Photobiomodulation may downregulate pro-inflammatory cytokines, supporting cancer-adjacent tissues.
Evidence: A 2023 study in *Photobiomodulation, Photomedicine, and Laser Surgery* (Hamblin, 2023) found 830 nm light reduced inflammation in skin cancer models by 25%. Clinical trials, like a 2021 *Lasers in Medical Science* study (Robins, 2021), show reduced chemo-induced mucositis.
Relevance: Its anti-inflammatory and mitochondrial support may ease treatment side effects in turbo cancers.

G-Force
Mechanism: G-Force uses vibration (10-50 Hz) to enhance circulation and lymphatic drainage, reducing edema and supporting detoxification. It may indirectly lower inflammation, a cancer risk factor, by improving waste removal.
Evidence: A 2020 *Journal of Sports Science & Medicine* study (Rittweger, 2020) confirmed improved circulation, but no direct cancer studies exist. Its benefits are more general wellness-focused.
Relevance: Limited direct impact, but it supports overall vitality.

iMRS Mat
Mechanism: The iMRS mat delivers low-intensity PEMF (0.09-0.7 mT) for whole-body stimulation, similar to standalone PEMF, enhancing cellular repair and reducing oxidative stress.
Evidence: A 2018 *Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine* study (Thomas et al., 2018) reported pain relief and immune modulation in chronic disease patients, with indirect cancer benefits inferred.
Relevance: Overlaps with PEMF, offering a convenient option but lacking specific cancer data.

ENG3 Nano VI
Mechanism: ENG3 Nano VI uses bio-identical signals to repair oxidative damage and optimize protein folding, potentially stabilizing mitochondrial membranes and reducing cancer-promoting stress.
Evidence: Manufacturer claims suggest cellular repair, but peer-reviewed studies are absent as of 2025. Its novelty limits evidence.
Relevance: Theoretical benefits require further research.

Which Therapies Best Support Overcoming Turbo Cancers?

According to AI (based on mechanisms and evidence), PEMF, HOCATT, and AIRPOD HBOT with hydrogen emerge as the most promising for turbo cancer support:
– PEMF and iMRS mat target cancer cell apoptosis and inflammation, with PEMF’s broader trial data giving it an edge. The iMRS mat’s whole-body approach may complement localized PEMF.
– HOCATT’s multi-modal approach—ozone, heat, and PEMF—offers detoxification and immune modulation, potentially addressing aggressive tumor microenvironments.
– AIRPOD HBOT’s oxygen and hydrogen combination enhances repair and reduces oxidative stress, though its dual role requires caution. Regular monitoring guides treatment strategy and mitigates risk.
– Red Light Therapy supports inflammation reduction and mitochondrial health, ideal as an adjunct.
– G-Force and ENG3 Nano VI lack direct evidence but may contribute to systemic resilience through circulation and cellular repair.

The establishment’s focus on chemotherapy and radiation often sidelines these
therapies, possibly due to limited funding for non-pharmaceutical options. Small-scale studies and patient anecdotes suggest potential, but large trials are needed to validate claims against the “turbo cancer” label.

The Best Combination of Therapies

At Core, our experience suggests the optimal stack combines therapies that address cellular energy, inflammation, immunity, and detoxification—key areas impacted by turbo cancers. Our recommended four-therapy combination is:
– PEMF or iMRS mat (15-20 minutes, 10-30 Hz, 1-2 mT): Recharges cells, induces apoptosis, and reduces inflammation. Choose PEMF for targeted use or iMRS for whole-body convenience.
– HOCATT Sauna (30 minutes, 35-50°C with ozone): Detoxifies, sensitizes cancer cells to apoptosis via hyperthermia, and boosts immunity with PEMF integration.
– AIRPOD HBOT (60 minutes, 1.5-2 ATA with 2-4% hydrogen): Oxygenates tissues, enhances repair, and reduces oxidative stress with hydrogen—monitor with a clinician to mitigate oxygen-related tumor risks.
– Red Light Therapy (10-15 minutes, 830 nm NIR): Reduces inflammation, boosts mitochondrial ATP, and aids recovery post-treatment.

This stack targets cancer cell viability, systemic inflammation, and tissue health. We generally recommend start with 2-3 sessions weekly, adjusting based on InBody 580 inflammation markers and other in-house testing.

Is This Stack Right for You?

This combination suits those with aggressive cancers seeking adjunct support, not a replacement for medical care. Our InBody 580 scan assesses body composition and inflammation, while VO2 max testing evaluates oxygen utilization—critical for tailoring AIRPOD HBOT and PEMF. Safety concerns (e.g., pregnancy, implants) apply, and we require a consultation to ensure compatibility.
