Had a friend that lived where liquid doses of Vitamin C are available over the counter. He took regular doses. Said it increased his feeling of well being.

Unfortunately, he got cancer but his doctors told him he probably extended his life considerably by taking the C.

maybe, could be, possibly- sounds very scientific

Yes I have hared of mega doses of Vitamin C helps slow it down big time. The following below have read about works well.

Lemon and Baking Soda go a long way too.

Raw Bitter Apricot Seeds

Flaxseed Oil with Cottage Cheese or skim milk

Drops of Food-grade Hydrogen Peroxide with Distilled Water

Spirulina

Chlorella

Barleygrass

Wheatgrass

Ozone

A high alkaline diet

Ozone

Coconut Oil

Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar

I remember Michael Landon taking high doses of Vitamin C.

So Linus was correct after all

This is ridiculous. Cancer is analogous to dry rot, the difference being that the human body repairs itself.
If you don’t remove the conditions causing the dry rot, it returns
All C does is reduce present inflammation and permits the body to heal the cancer itself. Once the C stops - absent other inflammation mitigation - the cancer returns.

Wake up, people: There is no magic bullet for good health sans personal responsibility.

I’ve always considered some of this stuff quackery but I have painful nerve condition and have been loading up on b-12 and it’s helped somewhat. I also take tons of vitamin c and I’m the only one of the house who never catches a cold. So there’s that.

Taking lots of vitamin c does help a lot.
I had this growth ( wart? ) one time and I remember I ate a box of blueberries ( about 12 pints ) in two days. That growth just disappeared. I have no idea why. Those were the only things I ate that was different from the junk food I usually eat.

For those with an interest in high doses of Vitamin C, a few notes.

1) Typically, Vitamin C is too acidic for many, but this can be overcome by consuming pH neutral versions of vitamin C, or “buffered” versions with other ingredients.

2) Vitamin C is a water soluble vitamin, which means it can be absorbed and excreted too fast to be effective at the cellular level. The way to overcome this is a “Liposomal” Vitamin C. It involves mixing the vitamin C with lecithin.

Lecithin is a generic term to designate any group of yellow-brownish fatty substances occurring in animal and plant tissues, which are amphiphilic - they attract both water and fatty substances (and so are both hydrophilic and lipophilic), and are used for smoothing food textures, dissolving powders (emulsifying), homogenizing liquid mixtures, and repelling sticking materials.

While there are recipes for DIY Liposomal Vitamin C on the Internet, they are not as good or effective as *some* of the commercial Liposomal Vitamin C out there.

Ironically, because fats like lecithin are not directly absorbed into the blood, but the lymphatic system, Liposomal Vitamin C will likely never reach the peak levels of Vitamin C in the blood that water soluble does. But much higher doses will remain in the body for much longer.

This means that Liposomal vitamin C may actually be more effective than IV Vitamin C.

I thought this had been proposed and discredited decades ago.
