Vitamin C Against Cancer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Nearly half a century after Nobel Prize-winning chemist Linus Pauling suggested that large doses of vitamin C (ascorbate) could be effective in preventing and treating cancer, a new study indicates that vitamin C may indeed be a valuable alternative cancer treatment<\/a>. In a study recently published in the journal Science Translational Medicine<\/i>, researchers at the University of Kansas Medical Center found that intravenous administration of high doses of vitamin C increased the cancer-killing effectiveness of chemotherapy drugs in mice and significantly decreased chemotherapy\u2019s toxic side effects in people.<\/p>\n

The recent research would seem to vindicate Pauling\u2019s claims about vitamin C which were largely discredited by practitioners of Western medicine in the 1970s when they were unable to document Pauling\u2019s claims in clinical trials.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s been a bias since the late 1970s that vitamin C cancer treatment is worthless and a waste of time. We\u2019re overcoming that old bias,\u201d study co-author Dr. Jeanne Drisko, director of integrative medicine at the University of Kansas Medical Center, told the Los Angeles Times<\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The difference in results between previous studies and the latest research may lay in the method of delivering vitamin C. In studies conducted in the 1970s patients took vitamin C orally in pill form. University of Kansas researchers administered the vitamin intravenously.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you swallow a pill or eat an orange, vitamin C is absorbed at a certain rate by the gut and excreted very quickly by the kidneys, Drisko explained. \u201cBut when you give it intravenously, you override that. Plasma levels can get very high.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new development is one more example of alternative cancer treatments<\/a> that were not \u201cwrong,\u201d just ahead of their time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
