CLINIC TREATMENT: Do NOT attempt to use this treatment by yourself. This treatment must be used under the direction of cancer experts who are based at a clinic. See the bottom of this web page for clinics which use this protocol. Also see this artice:

High Dose Intravenous Vitamin C (IVC)
Two-time Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling, along with Ewan Cameron, MD, of Scotland, did a scientific study proving that 10 grams of Vitamin C, given by I.V., could extend the life of advanced cancer patients six-fold.
However, there is currently an entire field of research called orthomolecular medicine which is devoted to natural treatments, especially Vitamin C, and their affect on disease. See:
Orthomolecular Medicine
A Dr. Wassell, who is part of this group, wrote: "Vitamin C is thought to act as a prooxidant inside the cell in high concentration, and some hydrogen peroxide is formed which is rapidly disposed of by catalase in a normal cell. Since cancer cells have a deficiency or lack entirely of catalase the peroxides kill the [cancer] cell."
There are several clinics in the United States that use this treatment. Bright Spot For Health, a large research clinic in Wichita, Kansas, was the home of a great deal of research on Vitamin C by I.V.. The original research was done by the late Dr. Hugh Riordon. They now have at least three medical doctors who administer this treatment.
- "In cancer, Riordan et al. (1995) demonstrated the likelihood that vitamin C was an effective anti-tumor therapy as long as high enough concentrations of it could be achieved inside the tumor(s). These researchers also concluded that oral vitamin C supplementation was unlikely to produce blood levels of vitamin C high enough to have a direct killing effect on a given tumor.
Later, in studying a certain line of cancer cells and the ability of vitamin C to kill those cancer cells, Casciari et al. (2001) elegantly demonstrated this point. They showed that the rapid intravenous infusion of vitamin C as sodium ascorbate in combination with alpha lipoic acid was effective in reaching vitamin C levels that were toxic to the cancer cells. They also showed that a fat soluble analogue of vitamin C, phenyl-ascorbate, was able to kill cancer cells effectively at a dose roughly three times lower than seen with unaltered vitamin C."

One comment is that because this treatment kills cancer cells, this is not a recommended treatment for cancer patients who are in a situation where even small amounts of inflammation and swelling would be dangerous.
The clinics listed below have a long history of the safe use of Vitamin C by I.V. This is mentioned because some clinics use Vitamin C by I.V., but have not have good results.
I do not mention a low-key medical clinic in Lousiana which uses this protocol because the medical doctor does not have a website. If you want to contact an M.D. in Lousiana who uses Vitamin C I.V.s and is an expert in orthomolecular medicine, just send me an email and I will put you in touch with him:
