Another magic cure against cancer. Post No 36. ROS (Oxidants, antioxidants and the current incurability of metastatic cancers)

Very interesting article (pdf is here). If we forget a lot of BS regarding targeted drugs mentioned in the article we can come to the final message of the article:
Electron structures of common reactive oxygen species. Each structure is provided with its name and chemical formula. The · designates an unpaired electron.
All these seemingly unrelated facts finally make sense by postulating that not only does ionizing radiation produce apoptosis through ROS but also today’s most effective anti-cancer chemotherapeutic agents as well as the most efficient frame-shifting mutagens induce apoptosis through generating the synthesis of ROS.

Well, in other words, drugs generate ROS and ROS induce apoptosis. Regardless of ”targeting”.
