The cancer treatment that’s too big to ignore!

It’s a type of leukemia that strikes thousands of Americans every year.

But there’s a treatment that may just save their lives.

On top of that, the amazing substance involved — taken in easily available amounts — can actually prevent some blood cancers from occurring in the first place.

And there’s more!

Researchers are also saying it can help patients who develop both leukemia and solid tumors triggered by a faulty gene mutation.

This could be some of the best news to date on how vitamin C — yes, vitamin C! — can both treat and prevent some killer cancers.

How a little C can conquer the ‘Big C’
Big Pharma must be having a cow!

After all, studies from prestigious cancer centers that show (once again) how vitamin C can effectively treat and prevent this disease are taking money right out of its pocket!

While we’ve been telling eAlert readers for years now about exciting research, as well as actual treatments, using high-dose IVC, the two latest studies make the promise of vitamin C as a cancer fighter just too big for the mainstream to ignore any longer.

First, researchers at the Perlmutter Cancer Center at NYU Langone Health, found that vitamin C, given in high-dose, IV form, can override a faulty gene that prevents stem cells from normally maturing and dying off.

In people (and animals) who have a malfunction in this gene, the production of an enzyme called TET2 is shut off. When TET2 isn’t functioning normally, stem cells in the bone marrow keep growing, eventually causing blood cancers.

But when IV vitamin C was administered, the researchers said that it appears to “tell” those defective stem cells to eventually die off as they should. It was like flipping on a switch to make these errant cells behave normally!

While these studies were done using mice, the scientists found the same positive results when they took cancer cells from leukemia patients and injected them into the mice treated with IVC.

Now, although this faulty gene isn’t the cause of all blood cancers, it does occur in half of those who have chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, ten percent of people with acute myeloid leukemia, and 30 percent who have what’s called “pre-leukemia,” or myelodysplastic syndrome.

Along with those conditions, the researchers estimate that 2.5 percent of all the people in the U.S. who develop cancer — any kind of cancer — also have this type of gene mutation.

But as I said, there’s more good news to tell you about here!

Another new study, this one done by several universities and medical centers in Texas and Utah, discovered the power of vitamin C as a way to prevent cancer.

It turns out that stem cells take in very large quantities of vitamin C — and that’s true in mice and people. But when they’re not supplied with enough C, they go from being normal to turning into leukemia cells.

Dr. Sean Morrison, lead author of that study and director of the Children’s Medical Center Research Institute at the University of Texas, said that they’ve known for a long time that people who are deficient in vitamin C are at “increased cancer risk,” but they haven’t been sure exactly why.

This research, he said, reveals some of the answers. While Dr. Morrison says that we should all (and most especially seniors) be sure to get the recommended amount of vitamin C– only around 100 mg a day — taking up to 2,000 mg every day certainly can’t hurt.

And, of course, loading up on fresh fruits and veggies (especially red bell peppers), is an easy way to up your C.

While this research is new and exciting, prominent scientists — starting, of course, with two-time Nobel Prize winner Dr. Linus Pauling — have been telling us for decades now that vitamin C may very well be a magic bullet when it comes to fighting cancer.

And, as I recently shared with you, several major cancer centers are also beginning to “C” the light — including the University of North Carolina, the Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Iowa and the University of Kansas Cancer Center (which even has a vitamin C infusion clinic!).
