Vitamin C may have benefits in cancer treatment – 19th July 2010 – (Includes an interview
with Graham Gaiger and Dr. Sue Levin from Helios Integrative Medical Centre) A new study
by the University of Otago has found vitamin C can help curb the growth of cancer cells. The six year research, published in the in the latest edition of the Cancer Research journal, is the first real evidence of a connection between vitamin C and tumor growth. “The results offer a promising and simple intervention to help in the fight against cancer, at the level of both prevention and cure” says Associate Professor Margreet Vissers,
of the University of Otago in New Zealand.
The role of vitamin C in cancer treatment has been the subject of debate for years, with many anecdotal accounts of the beneficial role of vitamin C in both the prevention and treatment of cancer, she says. Previous research by Vissers has demonstrated the vitamin’s importance in maintaining cell health and hinted at its potential for limiting diseases such as cancer. This latest study looked at whether vitamin C levels were lowered in patients with endometrial tumours and investigated whether the cancer cells had low vitamin C levels and whether this correlated with tumour aggressiveness and resistance to chemotherapy.
Prof. Vissers and her colleagues found tumours were less able to accumulate vitamin C compared
with normal healthy tissue, and that this related to the ability of the tumour to survive and grow.
Tumours with low vitamin C levels had more of a protein called HIF-1 which allows them to thrive in conditions of stress, she says. Professor Vissers said the findings are significant as they suggest it would be beneficial for people with cancer cells to take more vitamin C to limit tumour growth.

The news is no surprise to some, the Helios Integrative Medical Centre alone offers high dose intravenous vitamin C to up to 30 patients a week. Researchers say how cancer sufferers get their vitamin C should be
up to their doctors, but their findings also prove a vitamin C rich diet is an anti-cancer tool. However, both researchers and clinicians now want to see trials on patients and because vitamin C is not a drug, that could
be fast tracked. The study was funded by the University of Otago and the Tertiary Education Commission.
I read recently that no matter how much vitamin C you have, without the presence of adequate vitamin D levels, Vitamin C can’t do its work without adequate levels of vitamin D. Therefore, for cancer the first thing that should be done after the dx is vitamin D levels should be checked. I noticed too.
In my humble opine… While some oncologist do and some don’t.
I know people that have had different care applications on vitamin d and it makes me livid. When a cancer patient doesn’t know what there vitamin D level is. As there is GcMAF in our bodies that in the presence of adequate vitamin d, these two items working together will help fight to kill the cancer..

Most that get cancer get it from eating the wrong things and too little of the right things.
Most people that recover do so because they change the way they eat, (went healthy with little to no processed food and clean water without fluoride.) Although a lot of people swear by it,
I do not think we were created to take such HUGE amounts (up to 100 Grams of Ascorbic acid, or Sodium Ascorbate, or in another form all in a couple hours, no less via the venous system}. – Just because a LITTLE works well, does not mean that a MOUNTAIN of the same will work even better.I did once remember a person from Beverly Hills California state to me, “So long as I was on the vitamin C (drip), my PSA-levels stayed down. BUT when I went OFF the C, it went back up” <– That symptom-regression…, is Not the same as healing.
Why science is still working on that cure for cancer: It’s time for a new theory!!!
Study: Tumors with the highest levels of vitamin C, the slower the growth.

Vitamin C for cancer? ‘Miracle man’ Anton Kuraia’s highly controversial!!!
I.e. I’ve been diagnose with colon cancer in October 2019. I’m waiting on a second opinion, therefore,
I am on the intravenous Vitamin C treatment in Christ-church for the last three weeks. I refuse to have any conventional treatment at this time. I started Vitamin C at 25mls twice a week. Now 50mls twice a week.
I’m also taking Rongoa Maori, Cannabinoid and have changed my diet. Have listened to your story gives me some inspiration. ~ Nga mihi Nehupo Warbrick Note: This was a statement that I gain from reading the research of Professor Margreet Vissers.

The Power of C
Private donors are helping Professor Margreet Vissers and her team investigate the use of vitamin C in the
fight against cancer. Long considered the domain of “alternative” medicine providers, vitamin C is now
being investigated by respected scientists as a possible mainstream treatment for cancer. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-07433-7 https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Margreet_Vissers

Leading an international study of the vitamin’s cancer-fighting potential is University of Otago, Christchurch researcher Professor Margreet Vissers. She has worked for more than 15 years to understand the relationship between vitamin C and cancer, and is supported in her latest study by private donors wanting evidence that has long been lacking. Vissers has an established reputation in free radical research and her investigations into the antioxidant effects of vitamin C in 2000 instead led to a “serendipitous” discovery that linked vitamin C to cancer cell growth. “For many years people around the world have used vitamin C as a therapy in a number of diseases and there have been many reports of quite extraordinary effects.
But it is mostly anecdotal information. “What we observed in 2000 was so unexpected that it sparked our interest, and we Vissers and her free radical research team] have become very focused on explaining it and addressing all the unanswered questions our results raised.” Vissers worked with the Christchurch Cancer Society Tissue Bank to undertake the first-ever analysis of tumour ascorbate
(vitamin C) levels and to relate these to tumour growth promoters.
Her results were published in the Cancer Research journal.
After studying the vitamin C content of bowel cancer samples, she observed that patients whose tumours had higher levels of vitamin C had longer disease-free survival than those with low levels of vitamin C. While there is a desire in the community for cancer treatments that are more than just a toxic drug, Vissers says evidence of the efficacy of natural compounds is sorely needed. “One day vitamin C could be used by oncologists alongside established treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. But before it could be used in the clinic, evidence for a mechanism of action is needed, as this will help determine which patients it will benefit and what doses are appropriate. “We have identified a mechanism that looks very plausible from the point of view of potentially slowing the cancer growth, but this information has been gathered without intervention, in vitro, or in animals, and no one – including us – has looked in patients yet,’’ she says.
Vissers began the first study in people that investigates the effect of intravenous vitamin C treatment on tumour biology. This study will help determine a mechanism of action and has been made possible by the generous donations of many private donors. “Many of those who have donated are affected by cancer, either themselves or someone close to them. They want information. They may have asked ‘would taking vitamin C be good for me or my loved one?’ and found there are no good answers to that question.’’ Vissers and her team will study 12 patients with colorectal cancer who will either get four daily injections of vitamin C or a placebo. Intravenous injection is the most commonly used method in “alternative” medicine and may result in better access for ascorbate into the difficult-to-access tumour environment. “The patient will receive the vitamin C treatment prior to surgery. We will analyse tissue taken before and after vitamin C treatment to determine what the intervention has done – if anything – and if it affects any of the biological processes
we know encourage tumour growth,’’ she says.
The trial will test both the activation of HIF-1 and other leading theories.
The aim was to gather information that will indicate whether this treatment could be of benefit and, if so, what level of dosing would be appropriate and which patients could it be targeted at.” “If we don’t understand the mechanism, we have no idea how to use this treatment option and that’s the situation at the moment. People are being treated in a variety of ways – once a week, every day, once every fortnight – there is no recommended protocol. Then when patients reportedly do better (or not), the data is rather meaningless.
No one knows how to harness the power of this vitamin.”
The final step before vitamin C could be used in hospitals is a randomised controlled clinical trial, however this is still several steps away. Prof. Vissers is grateful for all her private donors and funders such as the Health Research Council, New Zealand Breast Cancer Research Foundation and the Canterbury Medical Research Foundation, who enable her to continue this work. In the current cash-strapped research environment
That was a powerful motivation for me to carry on my work.”
Prof. Vissers is driven to answer the many pressing questions about vitamin C and cancer for the benefit
of patients and their families. She recounts the story of a woman with breast cancer who shared her experience of intravenous vitamin C treatment. “She was a long way down the road with her chemotherapy and the side effects had been debilitating. She told me ‘of all the treatments I have undergone this is the one that asked nothing of me and the one that gave me the most obvious benefit’. Her story made me think ‘we need to know more about this and how to use it to patients’ best advantage’.
Seeing the difference that intravenous vitamin C therapy makes to cancer patients’ quality of life has motivated the Centre for Advanced Medicine to fund groundbreaking research into the treatment. The centre has made a significant donation to the Vitamin C for Cancer Trust, which was set up to support the research of Professor Margreet Vissers and her team into the effect of vitamin C on cancer. As a result of generous private donations such as this, Vissers is about to begin the first human trial that investigates the effect of intravenous vitamin C treatment on tumour biology. Centre for Advanced Medicine CEO Jackson Perry says that over the past 15 years his company, along with associated clinic Integrated Health Options, has provided care for thousands of patients seeking intravenous vitamin C treatment for a variety of conditions, including cancer,
viral/bacterial infections, and for immune support.
Many cancer patients approach the clinic at a time when their quality of life has been significantly reduced through progression of disease and there appear to be few options available to help them, Perry says. “Our experience has shown that intravenous vitamin C therapy improves outcomes for cancer patients in a number of ways, including quality of life benefits, such as improved appetite, reduced pain, and overall well-being. We have also seen, on a case-by-case basis, increased longevity and improved prognosis,’’ he says. “As a result of these observations, we are very motivated to understand better how vitamin C works in the treatment of cancer. The earlier work conducted by Professor Vissers and her team gives us great confidence that this study will significantly advance the understanding of the use of vitamin C in cancer and enable patients to
make better informed choices.”
The research team at the University of Otago, Christchurch, has identified new functions of the vitamin that could explain how it works in cancer cells. The challenge is to show that these mechanisms work in patients with cancer. The team includes scientists and clinicians, and therefore has both opportunity and expertise to design and implement appropriate clinical studies to address these important clinical questions.
The Goals of the project were as followed:

With my time in New Zealand through the usage of the WWW. Besides already knowing about Manuka Honey which I seen a YouTube video how to make it. I found the Hyacinth Bean which reminds me a bit like the apricot seed. You can harvest the immature green pods to cook as you would green beans or you can wait until the pods turn the characteristic purple color and have filled out to harvest them. The seeds are usually dried and then stored in a well-sealed glass jar. When you are ready to cook the dried beans, remember to boil them and change the water 2 to 3 times to ensure that all of the cyanogenic glycosides have leached out
so that they can be safely eaten.
Within in the seed there is high contents of cyanogenic glycosides.
