The Vitamin C Cancer Cure

Vitamin C is one of the most accessible nutrients that prolong cancer survival. Patients who understand how vitamin C works to cure cancer are at a significant advantage because, in fact, this nutrient can be used as part of a protocol to cure cancer permanently. In this capacity, vitamin C works best when it is administered without surgery, chemo, or radiation treatments. Ideally, high dose vitamin C should be combined with the Lugol's iodine protocol, pancreatic enzyme therapy, an anticancer diet like the Budwig Protocol and, most importantly, the baking soda protocol. Patients who are unsure about cancer self-treatment at home can click here to learn more about alternative cancer treatment facilities where vitamin C and other high cancer cure rate treatments are administered.

Vitamin C can be administered orally in high doses, but by receiving intravenous vitamin C treatments, patients can achieve even higher blood levels of this crucial nutrient. Vitamin C treatments have been used as a stand-alone treatment for cancer, but a better approach involves a full cancer protocol (including diet therapy and other powerful treatments) that includes vitamin C. It can be used with conventional treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation to improve quality of life.

Many people don't realize how valuable high dose vitamin C can be in treating serious illness. For example, high dose vitamin C (between 10,000-18,000 mg per day) has been used to treat measles naturally at home. It works very well in combination with vitamin A as a natural treatment for measles. In 1948, Dr. Frederick Klenner used vitamin C at a dose of 6000-12,000 mg per day to treat polio naturally in 60 patients at a North Carolina hospital. All of his patients recovered.  Indeed, though vitamin C is an antioxidant at low doses, at high doses, it produces reactive oxygen species that help kill infection and get rid of cancer cells naturally. The key is to take a high enough dose which ranges between 6000-12,000 mg per day in children and 10,000-18,000 mg per day in adults. IV administration of vitamin C is even more effective than oral dosing, though oral dosing can also act as a powerful, natural anticancer treatment.

Detailed Information

Intravenous vitamin C is a therapy that’s typically used in conjunction with other cancer treatments, but vitamin C, when administered in very high doses by IV infusion, can kill cancer cells naturally by itself. Cancer cells differ metabolically from normal cells in that the mitochondria of faulty cells produce high levels of redox-active iron molecules. These molecules react with vitamin C to produce hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide, in turn, disintegrates into hydroyxl ions which can damage the DNA of the cancer cells and their mitochondria which kills the cancer. The vitamin C treatment is selectively toxic against only unhealthy cancer cells [2][3].

Vitamin C is a naturally occurring substance that’s found in food and supplements. It’s an anti-oxidant that plays an important role in making collagen and keeping tissues healthy. It can be used as an anti-aging medicine. When vitamin C is given intravenously, it’s possible for it to reach higher concentrations in the blood than what’s possible when vitamin C is taken by mouth, although vitamin C can be administered topically with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) such that this nutrient will pass into the bloodstream through the skin to achieve higher doses [1].

High doses of intravenous vitamin C in cancer patients generally produces few side effects, though serious side effects are possible. In mainstream medicine, cancer patients who are given high doses of IV vitamin C experience an improved quality of life and fewer side effects from chemotherapy and radiation. Studies have shown that IV therapy with high-doses of vitamin C can improve the effectiveness of standard chemotherapy and radiation treatments, though it is usually more productive if the patient is willing to avoid chemotherapy and radiation because these treatments cause more harm than good. The high dose vitamin C can slow the progression of cancer in patients receiving chemotherapy and radiation [1][2].

Note that at the time of this writing nine months of high-dose vitamin C treatment via IV costs less than just one dose of chemotherapy [2].

Politics

Intravenous vitamin C has not been demonized to the same extent as certain other alternative cancer treatments in part because it can be used in tandem with standard treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation. As such, high-dose vitamin C is not as big of a threat to pharmaceutical companies and instead, research funding has been made available to demonstrate its efficacy at prolonging life in glioblastoma and stage 4 lung cancer patients [2]. The effectiveness at prolonging lifespan even among patients who followed the standard medical model supports the effectiveness of high-dose vitamin C as a cancer treatment that works despite the presence of the highly toxic biological environment produced by chemo and radiation.

Two studies done by scientists Creagan and Moertel in 1979 at the Mayo Clinic put a spin on high-dose vitamin C treatment, claiming that it was nearly impossible to produce therapeutic concentration levels. In both of these studies, the vitamin C was administered orally, but the medical community was bamboozled by these results and believed that high concentration levels could not be achieved through any means [6][8][9]. These kinds of high-jinks in which studies "prove" something (in science, as a rule, scientists seek to disprove things, because nothing can ever be definitively proven) are common with natural, unpatentable treatments for cancer that threaten Big Pharma.    At high concentration levels, vitamin C is toxic to cancer cells, but beneficial to healthy cells. Vitamin C at high concentrations prevents angiogenesis (or the development of a tumor’s blood supply). As the vitamin accumulates in cancer cells, tumor cells stop growing and inflammation is reduced in the body. Further, patients experience few side effects and adverse events when vitamin C is administered intravenously although it is possible to safely administer vitamin C orally at high doses as well [3].

Safety and Effectiveness

Intravenous vitamin C is effective against a variety of cancer types including:     Clinical studies have shown that oral administration of vitamin C at the maximum tolerated dose (18grams/day) administered in one sitting, produces only a peak plasma concentration of 220 micromoles/Liter. Administration of oral vitamin C hourly throughout the day can produce higher concentration levels in the blood, however. Intravenous administration of the same dose of vitamin C (18 grams/day) can increase plasma concentration 25 times. Even larger doses (50-100 grams/day) can increase the plasma concentration levels to 14,000 micromoles/Liter. At 1,000 micromoles/Liter, vitamin C is toxic to cancer cells, but not toxic to normal, healthy cells [5][6].   Vitamin C treatment was first suggested as a cancer treatment in the 1950’s because of its role in collagen production.  Also, it was used successfully to cure polio in 1948. Since cancer patients are often depleted of vitamin C, scientists believed that the vitamin C would protect normal tissues. By replenishing vitamin C levels, immune system function is also enhanced via the release of hydrogen peroxide molecules [3][7].   In one study, scientists observed a four-fold survival rate in terminal cancer patients who were treated with high-dose vitamin C IV’s. The researchers who conducted the study observed a survival rate one-third higher for the patients who were given high-dose vitamin C. For the patients who died during the study, their average survival time was more than 20 times higher than it was for terminal cancer patients who did not receive vitamin C treatments [7].   There are rare instances that have been reported where patients with multiple, rapidly proliferating tumors were given high-dose vitamin C, which caused widespread tumor hemorrhage and necrosis that ultimately caused the patient to die. Deaths like these from high-dose vitamin C are rare, but despite their tragic nature, they demonstrate the power of vitamin C to cause cancer cells to die [3]. If you are concerned about killing cancer cells too quickly, be sure to do coffee enemas to ensure that your body can rapidly detoxify and remove the dead cancer cells..

How Intravenous Vitamin C Is Administered

The half-life of vitamin C is only 2 hours which is why it has to be administered in high doses on a regular basis (hourly or every 2 hours). Clinical trials at the University of Iowa in Iowa City have examined the effect of giving 800 to 1,000 times the daily recommended dose of vitamin C to brain and lung cancer patients. The research has shown that vitamin C at 20,000 micromoles can be used to naturally treat glioblastoma and non-small-cell lung cancer. Most normal adults have about 70 micromoles of circulating vitamin C [4].

Possible Negative Effects

Intravenous vitamin C treatments are generally well tolerated, but some patients may experience side effects such as brief episodes of high blood pressure or dry mouth during IV treatment [2].

Other Important information

The Nobel Prize winner, Linus Pauling and Dr. Ewen Cameron did a study that showed that 10 grams of vitamin C administered via IV could extend the life of cancer patients six-fold [3].
