CANCER: Nutrition and Survival
is a landmark book on the biology of cancer.
The books title might have been Vitamin C Kills Cancer, because the most important natural cancer killing substance that pharmacology professors Steve Hickey, Ph.D., and Hiliary Roberts, Ph.D., cover is vitamin C (which is called ascorbate at high dosages.) Hickey and Roberts review of the literature informs us that scientists and researchers have discovered other natural, nontoxic substances that seem to amplify vitamin Cs cancer killing ability. The Foundation will offer hard copies when available. Please note that a private cancer forum exists which discusses the principles presented by professors Hickey and Roberts in this book.

A study published in the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry found that administering both vitamin A and vitamin C to cultured human breast cancer cells was more than three times as effective than the administration of either compound alone.

BASAL CARCINOMA CURE (skin cancer) - VITAMIN C SOLUTION...
Contrary to popular misconception, fed by the Media; antioxidants, vitamin C in particular, are powerful weapons in the fight against cancer. But there is a question. How or why would Medical Science not know or be on the wrong track?
A former New York state assemblyman found the answer. If you or someone you know has cancer, read POLITICS IN HEALING: The Suppression and Manipulation of American Medicine by Dan Haley. This important, easy to read, gripping book contains more than FIVE outright cancer cures. And Haley restricted himself to public records and found sworn court testimony, including heads of the AMA.
After reading Haley's book, you'll want to know more about:
- Cessium Chloride and The High pH Therapy for Cancer Best results when combined with high doses of vitamin C, vitamin A, zinc, selenium and Laetrile.
- Today's version of William Koch's glyoxylide?
Even the mainstream is slowing recognizing value of vitamin C in the fight against cancer.
Animal-Based Nutrients Linked With Higher Risk Of Stomach And Esophageal Cancers Vitamin C supplements reduce stomach cancer by 40% Yale researchers also found that regular users of vitamin C supplements were at significantly lower risk of stomach cancer
Vitamin C and Vitamin K3 cause massive cancer cell death From Science News.
In 1954 McCormick postulated the theory that the factor which preconditions the body to the development of cancer is the degenerative changes caused by continued low levels of ascorbic acid in the body. According to Irwin Stone, additional evidence supporting this hypothesis comes from the work of Goth and Littmann in 1948. They found that cancers most frequently originate in organs whose ascorbic acid levels are below 4.5 mg/mmm and rarely grow in organs containing ascorbic acid above this concentration.[Irwin Stone, The Healing Factor, Pg 95] |

This really works. We have been playing around with too low doses.This is the link to Riordan's best paper on the treatment of cancer with IVC.
Ralph Moss: Antioxidants Against Cancer
Must Read for both Cancer patients and Oncologists
Has the recent spate of negative publicity about antioxidants interfering with cancer treatment confused you? We highly recommend the new book by Ralph Moss, a leading expert on cancer treatments.Antioxidants Against Cancer is an excellent evidence-based summary, easily understood by both patients and their cancer treatment specialists. Ralph Moss's latest book shows why antioxidant therapy should be offered to every cancer patient.

Hoffer's New Book Vitamin C and Cancer Now Available
The vitamins-as-prevention paradigm shift to vitamins-as-therapy is documented in this heavyweight text from the pioneer of orthomolecular medicine. Hoffer covers the surprising outcomes of cancer patients treated with megadoses of vitamin C. This book should assuage any fears that cancer patients may have about taking vitamin C during their treatment.In stock. $14 + S&H. Contact the Foundation to order.
The following case study is from the Hoffer book. This patient (Case #351) was diagnosed with lung cancer,
Born in 1932, she was first seen in June 1991. In May 1991 she suffered the flu and cough. On routine x-ray a shadow was observed in her lung which had apparently been there one year before. A biopsy was positive. At first she refused to have surgery but later agreed to it in July. Three years earlier she had a myocardial infarct, later angina, and in January 1989 she had angioplasty. She had started to take vitamin C 6 grams per day, coenzyme Q10 200 mg, and beta carotene. I advised her to increase the vitamin C to 12 grams, to add niacin 1.5 grams, B complex-50, beta carotene 75,000 IU, vitamin E 800 IU, selenium 600 mcg, zinc citrate 50 mg, and folic acid 10 mg, all daily. On 11 June 1992 she was well and felt good. On 22 February 1994 she was getting on well. Again in June 1996 she was well." [Vitamin C and Cancer: Discovery, Recovery, Controversy, A. Hoffer, 2000]

"We have had the opportunity to observe patients who have taken 10g or more per day of vitamin C during intense chemotherapy. We now recommend a high intake of vitamin C, in some cases up to the bowel-tolerance limit, beginning as early as possible."
