Alternative Cancer Treatments:
How Vitamin C Inhibits Cancer Cells
Very recently, in June 2015, it was reported on National Radio that New Zealand research scientists have proved for a fact that Vitamin C does have an effect on cancer cells. Actually, they are not the first, as the Australian doctor, Dr Brighthope, the American Dr Levy, and others have been writing about their studies into the effectiveness of Vitamin C for many years now.
There is a wealth of research which shows 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.
The following quote is from http://orthomolecular.org/resources/omns/v06n23.shtml
(OMNS September 15, 2010)
‘It is entirely false to assert that we do not know how much vitamin C is effective against cancer. Indeed, the opposite is true: we do know, and we are failing our duty to patients when we fail to recommend vitamin C as adjunctive cancer therapy.
There are many controlled studies that demonstrate that vitamin C is indeed effective against cancer, improving length of life and quality of life. Positive studies have typically used between 10,000 and 100,000 mg/day intravenously. As Dr. Fernando Cabanillas correctly noted, success with 10,000 mg/day by IV was initially reported back in the 1970s by Cameron and Pauling.’
NOTE: Although I would take the alternative approach every time, readers should not necessarily follow my advice. Different things work for different people. DO 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.
The efforts and successes of the proponents of Vitamin C have largely been ignored, or minimized in many cases. Medical magazines are resistant to publishing material which is controversial. The power of persuasion of drug companies, and their readiness to stamp out opposition, are managing to keep the wonders of Vitamin C a big secret.
Professor Ian Brighthope has said ‘Unfortunately, as long as IV/C (intravenous vitamin C) has the potential to bankrupt hospitals, it doesn’t matter how well it works.’ -Quote from http://www.vitamincfoundation.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9950
Using Vitamin C as part of a ‘natural’ treatment for cancer has been used for over 50 years: Dr Max Gerson , who used it in his famous cancer clinics, was driven out of America by the drug companies and the FDA, really because these powerful organisations did not want Dr Gerson challenging the effectiveness of their drug and radiation methods for cancer, when his own methods were so hugely successful.
You can read Dr Gerson’s book, Cancer – 50 Cases, to get greater insight into his work. The book by Samuel E. Epstein, The Politics of Cancer, gives many instances of drug coverups and how alternative practitioners such as Dr Gerson have been hunted down and ostracized by the strong arm of the FDA, which is backed by the pharmaceutical companies.
Alternative therapies are kept such a secret, most people don’t even consider a ‘natural’, or alternative cancer therapy when they first discover they have cancer. I met a woman at the Newmarket pools recently, who was due to have her breasts taken off because of malignant breast cancer. I told her about the clinic in Remuera, Auckland, which gives intravenous Vitamin C for cancer and advised her to go there for advice before having the operation. ‘Oh, I don’t believe in Vitamin C. If it worked, then we would all hear about, and the hospitals would be using it,’ she said . She was wrong. She believed implicitly in the medical system. She was not even mildly aware that modern medicine is one of the biggest industries in the world, or that the medical profession are basically puppets for the multinational drug companies, who refuse to accept alternative methods which could pose a threat to their monopoly on the health ‘industry’.
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 read somewhere 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 unless Vitamin C was administered before the man died. So 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.
Lives could be saved if, as well as Vitamin C treatment, homeopathic medicine were at least given a try in some of these ‘incurable’ illnesses. Let’s pray that the pharmaceutical companies loosen their strangulating hold on the medicine industry, and let Homeopaths prove the worth of their science, as well as the Vitamin C therapists.
