Hi,

I tried IV Vitamin C, last year, for two months ( twice weekly).I have breast cancer metastatic to bone.On the doctor's recommendation, I started on 60g straight away, even though most protocols suggested starting on 15g, then 30, working up to 45g per shot.

 I had no adverse reaction to this,however if the drip was too fast, I felt a very uncomfortable burning sensation in my arm. I soon learned how to slow this down myself. Also, glutathione and alpha lipoic acid was added to the mix, which greatly improves the efficacy of the IV Vit C.

 When I had my regular six monthly bone scans, no improvement was apparent, but also I've had no further mets. If you find a doctor or nurse to administer this for your Mum, I believe it's really worth a shot, It appears to do no harm - unlike chemo, etc.

In Australia, this cost me $155 each time, expensive, but it's your money or your life, isn't it?

Good luck and God Bless, and never, never give up!! Cheers, Heather.

Hi,  while I have no good news for you on the vitm C aspect, I do on the brain mets. There is a non invasive radiation machine that can treat them without surgery. a friend of mine had it done. its called Gamma Knife. I helped her do the reasearch on it. it has like a 90% success rate on brain mets. you should research it. She is doing really well and all of her mets have shrank down (she had 3).  The treatment is pretty quick depending upon how many mets there are. I found www.irsa.org that has a lot of info on there.

 Good Luck and God Bless,

Vitamin C is very effective with fighting cancer. I work an herb store and am very interested in effective alternative treatments. My mother got matiplastic carcinova breast cancer in December. When I found out I put her on all the alternative cancer herbs, the tumor was shrinking. The doctors and their chemo killed her in June. Later on we found out this particular cancer is un curable in Dr. medicines. The most efficient alternative treatment that I know of is called Lignins. Essiac is also a cancer cure.                 

Good Luck!

Hi, yes, I do Vit C IV therapy.  I simply love the way it makes me feel.  It literally adds a layer of energy to me.  My chemotherapists were so amazed at how well I was doing (blood work. lack of side-effects etc) and I can only contribute it to the Vit C.  I know a story through my naturapath whose brain cancer literally went away using only Vit C therapy.  He was told that because he had cancer in his lungs as well that there wasn't much that the chemotherapists could do for him.  They did however help him after his brain cancer went away.  My girlfriend who has breast cancer experienced similar results as I did too after doing the  Vit C therapy.

I had Chelation and IV of Vitamin C for four years, and I still do when I feel sick. I have Chronic Lymphatic Leukemia. Also I took IV of Gluthione. I test myself every month and I can see the difference of my White Cells. Also I eat a lot of raw vegetables and fruits. I was in vegetables juice and fruit juice for almost an year. I eat all organics and very good food (nuts, eggs, fish, oat bran, coconut oil, etc.). I take a lot of supplements (2,000 IU of Vit. D3, Q10, Carnitine and I feel wonderful. There are a lot of natural alternatives. Good books "Cure Your Cancer" by B. Henderson; "Cancer Step Outside The Box" by Ty Bollinger, etc. These books will give you where to find alternatives. I wish you the best with your mother. Sueli

I am very familiar with vit.C IV.  Many people that I know who have used it have reported marginal to significant therapeutic benefits.  We still do not know if it can have an significant impact on cancer.  You can e-mail me with any questions at

Here's a copy of a message I posted on another thread re successful alternative protocols including in some of the cases intravenous vitamin c treatments. Glad to discuss the full regimen used if anyone is interested......................................... Hello Arnold I have posted all of this information on the board many times but am certainly willing to do so again because I know the information can be helpful and bring hope to others. This has always been my goal. Starting with my own situation, I cannot honestly prove that I am "cured" if you would rely only on CT scans or Xrays to be proof of that. When I was in hospital for the three week period in 2004 I had Xrays almost every day and CT scans every other day. From all the research I have done I learned there can be cumulative damage done by the radiation from these tests and so I made the decision to not compromise my health further by using these methods. I am confident that the results of blood work, ultra sound, my lack of any symptoms and strong and healthy state are proof enough that cancer certainly has not advanced and is at least in remission. _______________________________________________________________ Although I have heard of many success stories of patients conquering their diseases using alternative protocols, I will only mention the ones here that I know personally to be true. First I'll fill you in a bit here on my own experience. In April 2004 I was treated for what my doctor thought was pneumonia. After a month on antibiotics my condition worsened and I was taken to hospital by ambulance gravely ill. Xrays and scans showed a huge tumour(approx 10cmx10cm) in my chest cavity had caused an infection in the right lung and the collapse of the center lobe of that lung. The whole lung was entrapped and surgery was needed to clear away the infection and un entrap the lung. At the time of surgery an enlarged lymph node was noted on my heart and needle biopsied. This is where the Marginal zone B cell non Hodgkin's lymphoma diagnosis came from. The large tumour was inoperable and later scans showed smaller tumours in both lungs inoperable as well. The oncologist I was referred to told me I would need CVP/CHOP a very strong chemo in order to "perhaps" save myself but previous experiences with family members and friends had already convinced me that chemo and radiation were treatments I could not feel confident taking and so I began on an alternative path. _______________________________________________________________ My son's accountant/friend has survived cancer twice in his life using alternative medicine. Once when he was thirteen and had a brain tumor. After surgery his doctors told his parents that the cancer was deeply imbedded in the brain and there was no hope to save their boy. They were of Mennonite background and believed strongly in natural healing and so they took Dale to a naturopath, followed his directions as to diet, supplements etc. and Dale lived cancer free for another 25 years before cancer struck again. This time it developed in his stomach. The oncologist he was referred to told him he would be dead within three months if he did not have chemotherapy but he again turned to natural healing and it is now more than six years later and he remains cancer free. He has devoted his life to counseling the newly diagnosed and grows organically and personally harvests the four herbs needed to make Essiac tea. He then brews the tea, bottles it and gives it away free of charge to anyone within driving distance of picking it up. When he learned of my diagnosis he immediately offered the tea and counseled me about options of treatment and directed me to the most reputable clinics that offered the treatments and services I would need. I began working with a naturopath and then because of some of the archaic laws in this country which allow naturopaths to draw blood but prevent them from sending it to labs for testing, I added in a medical doctor who also strongly believes in and practices alternative medicine specializing in cancers. It was at this medical doctor's clinic that I began taking Intravenous Vitamin C treatments. _______________________________________________________________ It was also here that I met a patient who was terminal with prostate cancer and we became friends. Early in 2007 I asked him for permission to post his experience and he sent me the following message, asking me to edit it before posting it. This is the first time I have posted the original. Following it is the edited version which I have posted many times on the prostate cancer board.   “I have never seen a body so full of cancer as yours, yet you are not complaining of any pain . . . despite you are not taking any medication.”  These words were uttered to me by high profile oncologist after reviewing my various scans: bone, CT, xray and brochoscopy.  In fact, last December 2006, my wife was told that it is highly doubtful that I would live to Christmas (Tomorrow is Easter Sunday)   My PSA reading was 4460 and the cancer had covered both lungs, all my bones from my thighs to my skull (inclusive) and as  well my lymphatic system.  When the news of my dilemma spread I received calls and letters from friends and strangers recommending  a variety of drugs, vitamins, clinics  and doctors. Visits to oncologists at a cancer centre resulted in a prognosis that was anything but encouraging; but when one’s life is hanging in the balance, I was willing to grasp at any straw.   Steroids were prescribed as well as pain killers following my visits to clinics availing alternative solutions.  Eventually a lupron injection along with my regular visits to naturpathic  and homeopathic establishments seemed to ease my breathing difficulties. At one of these alternative offices I have been receiving Vitamin C/lipoic acid intravenously and 714X; today, three months later, my PSA reading was 1.1.   Far be it for me to single out the Vitamin C as the only antidote to my  condition; likewise it is equal folly to suggest that the Lupron injection and the steroids single handedly did the trick.  (It should be noted that my condition slowly began to improve after my visits to the alternative clinic, but before my visit to the hospital.)   Throughout my life I’ve had a variety of surgeries because of  accidents on and off the football field, and can unequivocally state that the medical professionals have delivered the utmost in integrity and energy on my behalf; but many of them were willing to admit to not having that magic wand.   I am not saying that the solution to cancer lies solely within the realm of holistic medicine; however,  the growing cancer epidemic belies the notion that the sole solution is that of the traditional practices.  It would be  hypocrisy for either discipline to seek the credit.   My question to the pharmaceutical companies is this:   If  it requires hundreds of thousands of dollars to produce a drug that would eliminate cancer, would it not be anathema to your business to do so?   My question to traditional medicine is this:   If the spread of cancer is ramping up, why are you looking outside your “9 dots” as adjuncts to what you believe is fact.   Throughout my investigations one factor is common to all the disciplines:  Confidence, and my positive outlook rested solely on the omnipresence of the Holy Spirit.  This. to me, is the most important factor. _______________________________________________________________ This is the edited version(read and approved) with information added from personal conversations that I had with my friend. (It is now almost 20 months later and all scans and tests still show no evidence of disease.) I am posting this story because it truly appears to be a miraculous result of a few weeks of non traditional treatments for terminal prostate cancer, a shift in intention and/or perhaps even Divine Intervention. A friend of mine was told in early December 2006 by oncologists that he would not survive to see Christmas. His wife who is a nurse, saw all of his scans and tests and understood she could soon be arranging for palliative care and making funeral arrangements. His cancer had spread throughout his body into most organs and bones and his lungs were so full he could hardly draw a breath. He was given steroids for pain control. After a few days of despair he decided to go ice fishing which is one of his great passions and something happened to change his mind set and he decided to fight. He made arrangements to take natural treatments at a complementary medical clinic nearby. He had about 12 weeks of weekly Intravenous Vitamin C/ Lipoic Acid infusions along with a 21 day course of daily injections of 714X. He did take one injection of Lupron at the beginning of these treatments. Today he has no symptoms of dis ease. He feels strong and healthy, takes no pain meds, has resumed all daily activities and his scans reflect this amazing change in his health. The oncologists who did his scans for him told him he should just keep up what he is doing. My understanding is that there are no side effects to these treatments other than a possible one to the high dose Vit.C if one has had a previous problem with kidney stones. I hope this message is helpful and hopeful to others and if anyone would like more information please feel free to contact me. _______________________________________________________________ This last experience involves a young mother in her twenties with two small children who presented at the clinic with a brain tumour. I am sorry I do not know her exact diagnosis. I do know her story from talking for many weeks with her while she and I both took the vit. c /???? infusions. She had undergone surgery, radiation and chemotherapy and when she presented about four years ago she was considered terminal. She was in a wheelchair, unable to speak or care for herself in any way. By the time I met her she had already had about two years of treatment at the alternative clinic and other than a problem with her short term memory she was functioning quite normally. She was living life quite fully, weekend camping trips with her hubby and little ones etc. Very excited and confident that she had beaten her cancer. I had not seen her for months since I now only take my infusions as maintenance ever six weeks or so and since I was planning on answering this post tonight I asked at the clinic as to her condition. It saddens me to say that her success only lasted a few months past the four year point. She ceased treatment in early spring and passed in summer. ______________________________________________________________ God Bless
