What is High Dose Vitamin C therapy?
High-dose vitamin C therapy involves administering large amounts of vitamin C intravenously for therapeutic purposes. Here are some key points about high-dose vitamin C therapy:
- Antioxidant Properties: Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that plays a crucial role in neutralizing free radicals and oxidative stress in the body.
- Immune Support: Vitamin C is known to support the immune system by promoting the production and function of white blood cells, which play a key role in fighting infections. High-dose vitamin C therapy is often used to boost immune function, especially during times of illness or stress.
- Anti-Inflammatory Effects: Vitamin C has anti-inflammatory properties that may help reduce inflammation in the body.
- Collagen Synthesis: Vitamin C is essential for the synthesis of collagen, a structural protein that is important for the health of connective tissues, skin, and blood vessels.
How Does High-Dose Vitamin C for Cancer Work?
What many people may not know, however, is that high-dose IV Vitamin C, may kill cancer cells. Put simply, Vitamin C works with metals in the body to create hydrogen peroxide. Whereas normal cells have the ability to reduce the effects of hydrogen peroxide, cancer cells do not.
Healthy cells are aerobic, meaning that they function properly in the presence of sufficient oxygen. Healthy cells metabolize (burn) oxygen and glucose (blood sugar) to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the energy “currency” of the cells. Cancer cells on the other hand are anaerobic meaning they function without oxygen. In the absence of oxygen, the cell reverts to a primitive nutritional program to sustain itself, converting glucose by fermentation. High-dose vitamin C is not a substitute for therapies such as radiation or chemotherapy nor is it a replacement for surgery, in which malignant cells are physically removed from the body. Adding high-dose vitamin C to ongoing cancer treatment protocols may help improve results, decrease symptoms and contribute to a better quality of life. However, there have been numerous trials in which patients have opted to use just High Dose Vitamin C IV to treat various forms of cancer which have yielded very impressive results.
