Breast cancer spread to lymph nodes. Would you choose chemo?

In reply to the editors comment about “flawed studies”, I have this to say: you’re not comparing apples to apples. Those studies were done using ORAL not intravenous Vit. C. I tried to post a link to a PubMed clinical study from 10/2021 but I wasn’t allowed to post the url: here’s info you can look it up for yourself (just Google the PMID 3471770). The problem as I see it, is that by using the humble vit C, Big Pharma can’t make a profit like they do on their synthetic chemotherapy drugs. Sorry, it’s the truth.

I completely agree with you that IV vitamin C shows promise. It is also important for people to be aware of the history, the controversy, and the state of research, which is explained in detail in this article:

You're also wise to point out the difference between intravenous vs oral mode of delivery. We don't want people thinking that consuming large quantities of commercially available vitamin C supplements is treatment.
