Strangely enough there is a treatment that can block Hypoxia Induced Factor action ie copper reduction as this factor is copper dependent for activity. A copper chelator called Ammonium Tetrathiomolybdate is used. The pioneer work using this copper chelator (Known as TM ) was done by Dr. George Brewer in the year 1999 and he published his results in 2000. He used a dosage of 20mg TM in capsules given 6 times a day, before meals and in between meals. If the copper level gets too low you can get anemia and or neutropenia, but this can be easily corrected.

A Dr. Linda Vadhat uses TM with triple negative patients who have been rendered NED. The disease is expected to come back in ten months or less but some of her patients using TM copper reduction have been NED for 4 years now.
