Chemotherapy Doesn't Work, So Blame Vitamin C - OrthoMolecular

Here is some truth to the Vitamin C and Cancer information that I have most recently heard about.  There has been a new study attacking Vitamin C and it’s affects on chemo, and it is rubbish.  They claim that Vitamin C aids in making the Chemo less effective on cancer patients.  If you know anything about Vitamin C then you will know that the opposite is true.  Vitamin C helps imflammation and pain, and it helps fight the cancer itself.  High doses of Vitamin C help in many ways, and cannot hurt one bit.  On we go.

First of all, this research involved mice with implanted cancerous tumors; it was not a trial on cancer patients. A mouse study is a long way from a human clinical trial. This obvious difference was conceded by the study authors. However, there is a more subtle, and probably much more important factor they did not consider: all mice make their own vitamin C. Indeed, mice make quite a lot. Adjusted for body weight, mice synthesize the human body weight equivalent of approximately 10,000 milligrams of vitamin C each day. (2) Incredibly, sick mice make even more. Mice given transplanted tumors become sick mice.
