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.
