Re: [cancercured] High dose vitamin C injections promoted cancer growth in our studies

I suggest you guys check out the work of Dr Robert Cathcart, MD, and colleagues with the American College for Advancement in Medicine. Cathcart has been using intravenous vitamin C for more than 30 years in almost every condition including AIDS. Also, instead of asking Vincent for studies, why don't you read the literature? You could start with Ewan Cameron and Linus Pauling, who established -- again more trhan 30 years ago -- that IV vitamin C prolonged survival in patients with ternminal cancer -- their paper was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA (1976 Oct;73(10):3685-9), not exactly an obscure journal.

Cathcart's website is http://www.orthomed.com/ He may be the single most experienced physician using IV C. He gives his recommendation for what form of C to use and how, saying, "I hear all sorts of weird stories from patients who have gotten ascorbate elsewhere. I do not know if it is an acid problem (because ascorbic acid was used rather than sodium ascorbate) or whether some colleges get carried away with what other things they add to the intravenous solutions."

Also from his site:
"Animal experimentation to determine the toxicity of ascorbate is a waste of time and money. First, I have already used 60 to 120 grams of intravenous sodium ascorbate since 1975 in over 2,000 human patients given in 2 to 6 hours without problems. I have given myself 180 grams of sodium ascorbate in 8 hours and felt great. There are at least 100 or more physicians (mostly members of ACAM) who have also used massive doses of ascorbate. Because I do not give these IVC's in a hospital setting I have not used it is patients with kidney failure. I have used oral ascorbic acid in the treatment of 2 patients with hemachromatosis."
