rethinking allowed: How Vitamin C Fights Cancer: Scientific Explanation and Procedure by Riordan Clinic

Note: I am not a fan of Vitamin C, but this is an attempt to list out all alternative treatment available for cancer cure.

Vitamin C Paradox

Vitamin C is always an anti-oxidant. At low dosages, it acts purely as an anti-oxidant. However at high doses, Vitamin C are both simultaneously:

ANTI-OXIDANT and
PRO-OXIDANT

Once acted as PRO-OXIDANT at high doses, Vitamin C will be similarly as potent but smart unlike of SYNTHETIC CHEMOTHERAPY AGENT in which role to increase the OXIDATIVE STRESS to the target cancer cells.

Vitamin C Chemotherapy (Hydrogen Peroxide > Hydroxyl Radicals)

Vitamin C should be used in conjunction with the conventional chemo, radiation or surgery treatment in order to get the best effect (According to Riordan Clinic). The smaller the size of tumor cells mass, the more effective Vitamin C Pro-Oxidant (Hydroxyl Radicals) ability to kill the remaining cancer cells. However Conventional Chemo is highly toxic to healthy cells and body immune system.

The beauty is, when used SIMULTANEOUSLY, Vitamin C (as anti-oxidant and pro-oxidant) will significantly reduce side effects contributed by the conventional treatment.

The correct doses of Vitamin C will directly speed up Tumor Cytotoxicity (the quality of being toxic to tumor cells). High dose intravenous Vitamin C generates hydroxyl radicals which can damage cells.

However healthy cells are able to neutralize peroxide toxicity with high availability of Catalase (peroxide suppression enzyme). This leaves tumor cells which are normally low in Catalase, to be vulnerable to peroxide.

Thus Vitamin C is a natural chemotherapy, smart enough to select the target cells to kill.
