Vitamin C is up to ten times more effective at stopping cancer cell growth than pharmaceuticals such

Vince · Mar 27, 2017

Vitamin C has previously been shown to be effective as a non-toxic anti-cancer agent in studies by Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling and was recently shown to reduce mortality by 25% on breast cancer patients in Japan. However, its effects on CSC activity have not been previously evaluated and in this context, it behaves as an inhibitor of glycolysis, which fuels energy production in mitochondria, the "powerhouse" of the cell.
Dr Gloria Bonuccelli, lead author and another member of the Salford team added: "This is further evidence that Vitamin C and other non-toxic compounds may have a role to play in the fight against cancer.
"Our results indicate it is a promising agent for clinical trials, and a as an add-on to more conventional therapies, to prevent tumour recurrence, further disease progression and metastasis."

Interesting. I did not see any mention of dose, unless I missed it.
I take 1 gram in the AM and another before bed...

Good article. Vitamin C is a game changer in several areas. It's KEY with the absorption of elemental iron, which adequate serum levels play into the productivity of the thyroid, specifically with effective transport of T3 to the cells (pooling), and even in the deiodinase activity of T4 conversion https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2498473

Life Extension also has a good article worth reading, which reflects and supports a lot of the talking points with the first link that Vince posted http://www.lifeextension.com/magazine/2006/10/report_vitaminc/Page-01
For the record, I aim for 2,000mg/daily

The infusion clinic, designed to accommodate 10 infusion patients at a time, includes two isolation rooms where infectious patients can receive treatment. Oncology patients are frequent visitors to the clinic where they receive intravenous ascorbate (vitamin C), which works as a pro-oxidant in cancer treatments.
