High doses of vitamin C injected into the blood stream could help treat cancer, new research from scientists suggests.
Injecting patients with a dose 1,000 times higher than the recommended level could target tumour cells and make radiation and chemotherapy more effective.
Scientists gave eleven brain cancer sufferers regular dosages of vitamin C every week for nine months while receiving typical radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
Tests showed the extra vitamin – usually found in oranges, green vegetables, broccoli and strawberries – made cancer cells more susceptible to treatment.
It also appeared to be safe, producing mild side effects such as frequent bathroom trips and a dry mouth.
The research, published in the journal Cancer Cell, showed that iron in the tumours reacted with the vitamin to form destructive “free radical” molecules which selectively caused only cancerous cells to die.

Beg to differ: If you fail to remove the conditions which cause cancer, it will return.
Same applies to dry rot.
Depends, of course, on whether you believe cancer is preventable. I know people who reversed their cancers naturally. Thus, cancer is preventable, just like dry rot.
Cancer preventable? I don’t think it is necessarily binary. More complicated than that.
Cancer is but one expression of genetic weakness - I.e. disease - in the presence of antagonists, be they chemical (including self-induced inflammation), biological or radiological.
I can prove it: Look at the incidence of cancer in this country compared to other, non -westernized countries.
The ONLY explanation is that our current state of so-called “epidemic of disease” is self-induced.
That’s overly-simplified, but I’m neither writing a book in a comment nor responsible for convincing anyone of that which is proved around me on a regular basis.
If cancer can be reversed - permanently - with no pharmaceuticals or chemo, then it can be prevented.
I know people who have achieved this and anyone with internet can find anecdotal evidence of such. Prolific, in fact. The problem is that if they cured cancer, there’s be no profit in that field.
I thought this had been proposed and discredited decades ago.
