Quick takeaways
- High-dose intravenous vitamin C can selectively kill cancer cells and save sepsis patients, but it acts differently in cancer and sepsis due to its pro-oxidant and antioxidant properties.
- Maintaining a delicate balance between vitamin C, glutathione, and oxalate levels is crucial for overall health and killing cancer, but the balance needs to be understood and avoided when generating excessive oxalate.
Deep dives
High-dose Vitamin C as a Pro-oxidant in Killing Cancer Cells
High-dose intravenous vitamin C has shown potential in selectively killing cancer cells in live patients and saving sepsis patients from dying. However, it acts as a pro-oxidant in cancer, requiring separation from glutathione. This delicate balance is crucial, as it needs to be avoided when killing cancer but maintained for overall health. Doses as low as 2000 milligrams of vitamin C per day can raise oxalate levels in most people, while even as little as 400 milligrams may raise oxalate in some individuals. Achieving the right balance between the dose, individual factors, and context is essential.
