Vitamin cure starves hard-to-treat tumors
Imagine this scene: You’ve suffered through round after round of radiation. Sickening chemo drugs cost you your hair and had you bent over the toilet more times than you can count.
And now your doctor tells you nothing is working — and that your cancer may even be incurable.
That’s what too many cancer patients — especially people with colon cancers — are hearing every year.
But now there’s new hope on the horizon. Because researchers have proven that a simple vitamin cure may hold the key to helping you beat even the hardest-to-treat cancers.
And it’s available to you right now.
That’s what Channing Der, a molecular biologist at the University of North Carolina, said about his latest research on using intravenous vitamin C (IVC) to stop colon cancer dead in its tracks.
You see, for years people with colon cancer have had the deck stacked against them. That’s because about half the cases of colon cancer involve genetic mutations — called BRAF or KRAS — that make them nearly impossible to treat.
In other words, they spit out just about anything doctors throw at them.
Well, not anymore.
Because when Der and his colleagues tested high-dose vitamin C on colon cancer cells with BRAF and KRAS mutations, the cells started dying off in droves.
Even better? When mice with hard-to-treat colon cancer were given IVC, they ended up with far fewer — and much smaller — tumors.
Cancer cells are just like any other cells — they need “food” to keep them growing. And the colon cancer cells with these mutations make extra sure they have enough to “eat” by producing a protein that draw glucose right to them.
But large doses of vitamin C (equivalent to eating 300 oranges) actually cut off the food supply. And the next thing you know, these hungry, deadly cancer cells literally starve to death.
I’ve been telling you about the cancer-killing powers of IVC for years. And Mark Levine, a vitamin C researcher with the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, said he’s hoping that this latest research finally gets more docs taking notice.
Well, I hope so, too. Because, believe it or not, IVC has been available as a cancer treatment for decades.
Linus Pauling, who won the Nobel Prize twice, began championing vitamin C to treat cancer back in the 1970s. But because you can’t patent and charge a fortune for vitamin C, Big Pharma and most mainstream docs won’t touch it with a 10-foot pole.
But that might be starting to change. Even the University of Kansas has now developed an IVC protocol for treating cancer, and lots of alternative docs are using it.
And in just the past few years, IVC has been tested on patients with deadly brain and pancreatic tumors, and it’s been found to be both well-tolerated and often highly successful.
Dr. Lewis Cantley, at Weill Cornell in New York City, and one of the authors of the current study, said that he hopes to begin clinical trials with cancer patients who have those genetic colon cancer mutations as soon as possible.
But you don’t have to wait. Because, as I said, many alternative doctors are using IVC to treat cancer right now.
To find a doctor who practices alternative or natural medicine, just go to the Health Sciences Institute database and select your state from the list.
