What effect do Vitamin C infusions have on Cancer?
Studies analyzing the effect of vitamin C infusions on pancreatic, liver, neuroblastoma, prostate, colon and malignant mesothelioma cells indicate that the treatment retards their progression. Various types of ascorbic acid, the chemical in high-dose vitamin C, with different types of chemotherapy may enhance the effectiveness of that chemotherapy against different types of cancer cells.
According to animal studies, vitamin C infusions block tumor growth, shrink tumors in a number of different types of cancer, and, in one study, make light therapy more effective against cancer as well. Even in patients in whom the vitamin C infusion does not stop tumor growth, research shows that the treatments do increase quality of life, reducing some of the unpleasant symptoms of cancer and cancer treatment such as vomiting, nausea, fatigue, emotional difficulties and appetite loss, notes the National Cancer Institute.
What are the different levels of dosing?
For an immune boost infusion a patient can receive 25 grams to 50 grams, with 25 grams being the standard dose. The dosing for cancer patients is anywhere from 75 grams up to 100 grams. Patients can receive up to 1-3 treatments per week for as long as the physician prescribes.
Side effects of Vitamin C Infusions:
- Nausea
- Diarrhea
- Stomach cramps
- Low blood sugar and low blood pressure are possible with doses greater than 1 gram.
I.V. HYDROGEN PEROXIDE
Hydrogen Peroxide IV / H2O2 therapy, Hydrogen peroxide is infused into the circulatory system through a vein in the arm. It drips in over a ninety-minute period.
Benefits of H2O2 Therapy:
- Kills Bacteria and Viruses
- Clears up lungs
- Cleans up arteries (dissolves Calcium and Cholesterol)
- Helps Circulation
- Detoxifies
- Clarification of the skin
H2O2 provides singlet oxygen, which, in turn, transforms biological waste products and industrial toxins into inert substances by oxidizing them. This makes them easy to handle for the kidneys and liver. It doubles the rate of enzymatic metabolism in the mitochondria within each cell, thus enabling the body to cleanse itself of toxins and still have plenty of energy to handle the business of living from moment to moment. This increase in metabolism probably accounts for some of the antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral effects of hydrogen peroxide.
Hydrogen peroxide is a part of normal metabolism. Your body produces it constantly. There are units in certain white blood cells called "peroxisomes," which produce H2O2. These white cells then engulf bacteria which cause disease and mix them together with these peroxisomes. They both then disappear as the singlet oxygen from H2O2 destroys the bacteria or virus. This happens naturally, without any help from outside sources of hydrogen peroxide.
When an infective disease becomes obvious to the person who has the infection the hydrogen peroxide defense mechanism already has been overwhelmed by the number of viruses or bacteria involved, and the immune system is into its secondary line of defense: the tedious process of analyzing the invading organism and making antibodies, which deal specifically with that organism.
Conditions which can be treated with H2O2 include those conditions which can be treated with antibiotics, but without the serious toxicity often associated with laboratory produced synthetic antibiotics. Some of these conditions are candidiasis (yeast), viral infections, influenza, the common cold, sinus infection, Epstein-Barr virus and gangrene.
Hydrogen peroxide also has been found to dissolve cholesterol and calcium deposits associated with atherosclerosis. Therefore, it is a good treatment for vascular disorders. This can result in lessening or disappearance of angina, leg pain and transient ischemic attacks to the brain, which causes dizziness. It also can help reverse some of the damage left over by a stroke, if treatment is instituted early enough.
Hydrogen peroxide has a remarkable clearing effect on the skin. After only a few intravenous treatments the skin takes on a translucent clarity usually seen only in children. In addition, hydrogen peroxide benefits asthma, leukemia, multiple sclerosis, degenerative spinal disc disease and high blood pressure. It is particularly effective with asthma, arthritis and back disorders.
The most fundamental feature of a cancer cell is that it is relatively anaerobic. It needs sixty percent less oxygen than a normal healthy cell. It does very poorly in the presence of excess oxygen. All of this points toward the oxidative therapies as a decent treatment for cancer and a decent preventive measure as well. Apparently, cancer is the cell's attempt to survive under conditions of a low supply of oxygen. If your cells are well oxygenated, they may have no reason to transform into cancer cells. It may be that the way toxins promote cancer is by interfering with the use of oxygen by cells.
Intravenous Hydrogen Peroxide Therapy
In bio-oxidative medicine, oxygen is introduced directly into the body as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) or as ozone (O3). When toxins are released from the cells of the body, they must cross the space between those cells and the outside. Ultimately, they exit the body through the lungs, the liver, the kidneys, and the pores of the skin. Detoxification can feel temporarily worse than the disease. It may be accompanied by headache, fatigue, grouchiness, insomnia and body pains for days or even, in very diseased states, weeks. Hydrogen peroxide is no exception. Be prepared for these kinds of results on your trip to a clear state of health.
To benefit your body, the H2O2 must reach your circulation, where it can be broken down by catalase and bound by cytochrome-C for distribution throughout your body in the following forty minutes. You should not eat anything for at least twenty minutes after taking the H2O2.
