Vitamin C May Be a Potent Adjunct to Cancer Treatment
Research shows that vitamin C is selectively toxic to cancer cells when administered in high doses intravenously.
I remember watching Linus Pauling, who died in 1994, on television in the 1980s. Pauling was always talking about the health benefits of intravenous vitamin C. Educating the public about vitamin C seemed to be his mission in life during his later years. He spoke of using IV vitamin C to fight cancer. Pauling had won a Nobel Prize in chemistry and also a Noble Peace Prize. Pauling was ridiculed by many back then and thought to have been somewhat of a "mad scientist", but it appears that he has been vindicated and was spot on with his vitamin C and cancer teachings.
When given intravenously at high doses, vitamin C produces hydrogen peroxide, which can be very toxic to cancer cells.
The great thing about this therapy is that normal body cells are not harmed by the vitamin C and the high levels of hydrogen peroxide that is generated. The reason that this occurs is that body cells, when operating as they should, have several ways of effectively removing hydrogen peroxide and cancer cells do not. The removal of the hydrogen peroxide by the body cells doesn't allow the hydrogen peroxide to buildup to toxic levels and cancer cells lack this capability.

Vitamin C also is a powerful antioxidant and fights inflammation. We know that inflammation is a hallmark of many chronic diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. Vitamin C also helps the immune system to fight off disease.
The intravenous dose can be 25 to 50 grams of vitamin C, which is about 300 times the amount of vitamin C that would get from a good and healthy diet.
