Vitamin C has many effects on various biological activities

(US National Cancer Institute)

Effects of vitamin C as an anticancer agent:

Prevents the formation of carcinogenic substances.

Prevents damage to genetic material (DNA) by free radicals.

Prevents carcinogenic activity of viruses and genes.

Regulates and strengthens the immune system.

Delays the development of tumors.

Why is it so necessary and effective in treating cancer?

When plasma levels of 350 to 400 ml / dL are reached (intravenous orthomolecular doses), vitamin C acts as a cytotoxic for neoplastic cells. That is, it helps destroy this cell because it turns into hydrogen peroxide, which is a powerful oxidizing agent. Non-cancer cells neutralize hydrogen peroxide using catalase enzymes, but cancer cells, since they do not have catalases, cannot block the pro-oxidant effect of hydrogen peroxide on them. It is at this while that they undergo lysis (cell breakdown), while normal cells take advantage of the antioxidant effect of this interesting vitamin.

We must remember that these effects are only achieved intravenously and not orally, in addition to the correctly calculated dose, the lower doses are inactive for this selective cytotoxic and antioxidant action.

Michael T. Murray (1996) cites the following conditions as diseases in which vitamin C may be helpful:

Asthma. Atherosclerosis Autoimmune diseases. Cancer. Candidiasis Fragile capillaries. Cascades Dysplasia of the cervix. Chron's disease. Cold ischemic heart disease. Diabetes. Eczema. Fatigue and chronic fatigue. Gallbladder diseases. Gingivitis. Osteoarthritis. Paradanthosis Peripheral vascular disease. Rheumatoid arthritis. Sports injuries. Glaucoma. Hepatitis. Herpes simplex and shingles. High blood pressure Infertility Infertility Macular degeneration Menopause. Mitral valve prolapse. Multiple sclerosis. Parkinson's disease. Peptic ulcers. Preeclampsia Skin ulcers Scars

INFERTILITY OF MEN

Plentiful studies have shown that vitamin C deficiency has a negative effect on sperm:

Reduce the quantity produced.

Causes low mobility.

Sperm agglutination.

Sperm are inherently damaged.

All of the above increases the probability of infertility and the risk of congenital damage to the fetus.

 

According to a study by Dr. Harris and colleagues from the College of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Texas Conservatory of Medicine at Galveston, environmental toxins tend to settle in glandular tissues for a long time. sperm, which are responsible for the production of sperm, cause a lack of vitamin C in semen as the body uses this vitamin to neutralize toxins. In a study of 40 infertile men by this research team, the daily dose was 200 mg. or 1000 mg. vitamin C, solved the problem.

Vitamin C participates in the modulation of our biochemistry so extensively that it can be said to have interesting effects when taken orally and impressive when administered in adequate intravenous doses.

Possible side effects to consider when giving IV vitamin C:

Tumor necrosis syndrome or tumor syndrome has been reported in a patient after high doses of IVC. 60 - 80 grams, so we started with lower doses, but this is a desirable effect rather than an undesirable one.

Acute oxalate nephropathy (kidney stones) has been reported in a patient with renal failure who received 60 g of IVC. Adequate renal function, hydration, and urinary capacity should be documented before starting high-dose IVC therapy. However, in our experience, the incidence of calcium oxalate stones during or after IVC is negligible. The Riordan Institute has reported two cases over 30 years.

Hemolysis has stayed reported in patients with G6PD deficiency when given high doses of IVC. Deficiency of this enzyme is very rare and when it does, it causes symptoms that lead the user to study it more than once.
