CLINIC TREATMENT: Do NOT attempt to use this treatment by yourself. This treatment must be used under the direction of cancer experts who are based at a clinic. See the bottom of this web page for clinics which use this protocol. Also see this artice:

The Vitamin C by I.V. treatment is generally used for cancer, but it can also be used to cure MDM-1, to cure NDM-1 and to cure Ebola.


High Dose Intravenous Vitamin C (IVC)

Two-time Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling, along with Ewen Cameron, MD, of Scotland, did a scientific study proving that 10 grams of Vitamin C, given by I.V., could extend the life of advanced cancer patients six-fold.

However, there is currently an entire field of research called orthomolecular medicine which is devoted to natural treatments, especially Vitamin C, and their affect on disease. See:
Orthomolecular Medicine

A Dr. Wassell, who is part of this group, wrote: “Vitamin C is thought to act as a prooxidant inside the cell in high concentration, and some hydrogen peroxide is formed which is rapidly disposed of by catalase in a normal cell. Since cancer cells have a deficiency or lack entirely of catalase the peroxides kill the [cancer] cell.”

There are several clinics in the United States that use this treatment. Bright Spot For Health, a large research clinic in Wichita, Kansas, was the home of a great deal of research on Vitamin C by I.V.. The original research was done by the late Dr. Hugh Riordon. They now have at least three medical doctors who administer this treatment.

In cancer, Riordan et al. (1995) demonstrated the likelihood that vitamin C was an effective anti-tumor therapy as long as high enough concentrations of it could be achieved inside the tumor(s). These researchers also concluded that oral vitamin C supplementation was unlikely to produce blood levels of vitamin C high enough to have a direct killing effect on a given tumor.

Later, in studying a certain line of cancer cells and the ability of vitamin C to kill those cancer cells, Casciari et al. (2001) elegantly demonstrated this point. They showed that the rapid intravenous infusion of vitamin C as sodium ascorbate in combination with alpha lipoic acid was effective in reaching vitamin C levels that were toxic to the cancer cells. They also showed that a fat soluble analogue of vitamin C, phenyl-ascorbate, was able to kill cancer cells effectively at a dose roughly three times lower than seen with unaltered vitamin C.

One comment is that because this treatment kills cancer cells, high doses can cause severe inflammation. This is not a recommended treatment for cancer patients who are in a situation where even small amounts of inflammation and swelling would be dangerous. Work with the practitioner as he or she may recommend a “build-up” to insure that potentially dangerous swelling and inflammation will be caught long before it becomes dangerous.

The clinics listed below have a long history of the safe use of Vitamin C by I.V. This is mentioned because some clinics use Vitamin C by I.V., but have not have good results.

I do not mention a low-key medical clinic in Lousiana which uses this protocol because the medical doctor does not have a website. If you want to contact an M.D. in Lousiana who uses Vitamin C I.V.s and is an expert in orthomolecular medicine, just send me an email and I will put you in touch with him:
