Recently, Vitamin C has been forced into the backseat as other antioxidants have stood in the limelight. Vitamin C is the grandfather of antioxidants and it has clear health benefits.(1)
Dr. Ronald Hunninghake is well known for being an expert on this vitamin. He joined Dr. Hugh Riordan over twenty years ago and conducted research on I.V. administration of vitamin C for cancer patients. Though his clinic is the leading expert on vitamin C therapy for cancer, that hasn’t stopped others from completing similar research.(1)
New study builds on prior work of Dr. Hunninghake and shows that vitamin C kills colorectal cancer cells!
The new study from Weill Cornell Medicine in New York discovered that in these cases, that high-dose vitamin C caused oxidation in the cancer cells and impaired the growth of the tumors.(2)
Vitamin C concentration equivalent to 300 oranges effective in causing oxidation of colorectal cancer cells and impairing growth of the tumor!
The studies findings may also be helpful in treatment of renal cell carcinoma, bladder cancer and pancreatic cancer. The authors of the study report that that dosage would most likely need to be through I.V. as oral doses are not absorbed efficiently enough through the intestine.(2)
High doses of vitamin C do not absorb efficiently through the intestine and should be administered intravenously
If you are seeking to increase vitamin C consumption through food, consider increasing your fruit and vegetable intake. Many eat oranges for their vitamin C content, but red and yellow bell peppers have the highest vitamin C coming in at 306 percent of daily value. Other fruits and vegetables are guavas, dark leafy greens, kiwi, broccoli, berries, tomatoes, peas, papaya, and of course oranges.(3)
As winter approaches, don’t forget about vitamin C! Start eating more fruits and vegetables and consider adding a high quality supplement. If you are battling cancer or another chronic disease, consider intravenous vitamin C therapy!
