Can Vitamin C Cure and Kills Cancer Cells?

Can High dosages of vitamin C kill cancer cells?

The utilization of vitamin C in alternative cancer treatment is not new. Supporters contend that large doses of vitamin C are poisonous to cancerous cells. But there are no credible evidence gathered in studies in humans support of this theory.

Studies carried out in the 1970s was first suggested by that large doses of vitamin C might be beneficial in treating cancer. But those studies were found later to have major shortcomings. Newer well designed, randomized controlled trials of vitamin C and cancer failed to find benefit from such treatment.

Most recent, vitamin C intravenously (IV) has been touted to having different impact than vitamin C orally. This has resulted in a revitalized interest in the use of IV vitamin C as a anticancer therapy. But not yet exist evidence that the vitamin C has no impact on cancer. Until clinical trials are completed, it is premature to determine what role, whether any, IV vitamin C could play in treating cancer.
