Vitamin C Slows Cancer Down And Can Reverse It as Well
Exploring the scientific evidence behind vitamin C as a potential cancer treatment and its effectiveness in clinical studies.
📊
Research Overview
Recent BBC Report:
"Vitamin C 'slows cancer growth.' An injection of a high dose of vitamin C may be able to hold back the advance of cancers, US scientists claim. The vitamin may start a destructive chain reaction within the cancer cell."
The study authors reported that daily, high-dose vitamin C treatment "significantly decreased growth rates" of ovarian, pancreatic, and malignant brain tumors in mice. Such high, cancer-stopping levels of vitamin C can be "readily achieved in humans given ascorbate intravenously."
Key Finding
The injection treatment "halved the size" of tumors and was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Clinical Evidence
2008 Korean Study
Intravenous vitamin C "plays a crucial role in the suppression of proliferation of several types of cancer," notably melanoma.
2006 Canadian Study
Doctors reported on the effectiveness of intravenous vitamin C in treating cancer.
1990s American Studies
Successfully used vitamin C to treat kidney cancer, with metastatic lesions disappearing in weeks.
1982 Japanese Study
Vitamin C greatly prolonged the lives of terminal cancer patients.
Treatment Protocol Highlights
- • Using 30,000 mg of intravenous vitamin C twice per week
- • Infusions of 100 grams, once or twice per week for bone metastases
- • Metastatic lesions in lung and liver disappeared within weeks

Medical Establishment Response
Institutional Positions
American Cancer Society:
"Although high doses of vitamin C have been suggested as a cancer treatment, the available evidence from clinical trials has not shown any benefit."
Cancer Research UK:
"There is currently no evidence from clinical trials in humans that injecting or consuming vitamin C is an effective way to treat cancer."
Author's Perspective
The article argues that both organizations are "way behind the times" and "wrong" given the decades of physician reports and controlled clinical studies. It suggests hundreds of thousands could have been helped with ascorbate therapy.
