Alternative Cancer Treatments:
Vitamin C Inhibits Cancer Cells
Very recently, in New Zealand, research scientists proved for a fact that Vitamin C DOES have an effect on cancer cells.
There is now proof that Vitamin C can stop cancer from growing, that it can reduce the size of cancers, and that Vitamin C can prevent cancer from developing in the first place.
NOTE: Do not take anything in this article to mean that you should follow a ‘natural’ or alternative cure: different things work for different people; and you MUST see a doctor or a suitably qualified health professional if you think you may have cancer or some other degenerative disease.
For years, the debate about Vitamin C and Cancer has continued, with some alternative health therapists using megadoses of Vitamin C to treat cases of cancer and other degenerative disease, whilst orthodox medicine stood outside the square insisting that their methods, which exclude the use of Vitamin C, were best.
Many alternative cancer therapists, who recognize the great value in the antioxidant properties of Vitamin C, have successfully treated cancer and other life threatening disease using Vitamin C in combination with other treatments. Their efforts and successes have largely been ignored, or minimized in many cases. They are just not talked about.
Using Vitamin C as part of a ‘natural’ treatment for cancer is about 50 years old or more: Dr Max Gerson used it in his famous cancer clinics way back then. He was driven out of America by the drug companies and the FDA, really because these powerful organisations did not want Dr Gerson contesting the effectiveness of their methods. Dr Gerson’s methods were hugely successful. You can read his book Cancer – 50 Cases to get some insight into his work.
Most people, upon finding out that they have cancer, don’t even consider a ‘natural’, or alternative cancer therapy in the beginning. They head straight for the doctor and accept any treatment which is prescribed for them, without question. This is because the medical profession basically do not accept alternative methods which could pose a threat to their monopoly on the health ‘industry’, which is propelled along at a financially very productive pace by the drug companies.
Another recent major happening which should elevate the status of Vitamin C in treating any serious disease, also occurred very recently, again, - in New Zealand.
The case which has drawn attention to the media is one where Vitamin C cured a case of swine flu and hairy cell leukemia. The man, who was in hospital, was not improving with the current regular methods of treatment. The family of the man requested that he be given Vitamin C in megadoses: they had heard somewhere along the line that this could be effective. However, the medics denied this treatment at first, saying that it would not do any good.
The family did not give up, and threatened legal action if the hospital did not give the man the Vitamin C for swine flu as they requested.
The hospital authorities relented, gave the man the megadoses of Vitamin C, and the result is that the man recovered from Swine Flu and Hairy Cell Leukemia.
We had coverage on the case by reporters from Channel 3 and Channel 1, TVNZ, which was excellent.
I hope that the subject still remains ‘hot’ news, as it very well should be: so often, when major alternative ‘findings’ come to light here, they quickly get drowned by other competing factions, and are then conveniently forgotten – sometimes it is years before we have any more reporting on similar issues.
