Has anyone used or heard of high dosage Vitamin C IV to treat cancer?

Posted by lvtexas @lvtexas, Jul 19, 2023

Is IV high dosage vitamin C a viable treatment or Can it be used to prevent reoccurrence of pancan? Is it safe? Dosage and frequency?

There are mentions of it in Chris Beats Cancer and if you Google it.

Thank you!

Hi! I own it, just haven’t gotten to read all of it yet. I’ve added in walking every day. I’ve been getting more sleep - what about melatonin?

Thanks!

Additionally there is a clinical trial using hydroxychloroquin with high doses of vitamin in D for pancreatic cancer but no results in yet. I was advised to take water soluble ADEK vitamin and some extra D.

I would also recommend reading the book "How to Starve Cancer" by Jane McClelland. It is NOT a book about fasting or what foods to leave out. It is a book about using off-label existing relatively harmless medications to inhibit the way cancers feed themselves- thus weakening them and enabling chemo and other mechanisms to kill them .... INCLUDING cancer stems cells.

beths77,

Can you provide citations to independent reviews of this book and the mechanisms it notes as being effective?

I was given high dose vitamin c, zinc and iron , magnesium too when I was in hospital and rehab , whether liquid thru IV or pills. Now I take Jevity 1.5 formula which gives me all that daily plus protein and calories to fight cancer.

As several have already stated, when considering complementary treatment options, emerging possible new treatments, and/or supplements, be open-minded yet skeptical. Learn about the potential benefits and risks. And talk with your cancer care team.
