This article tells how Ascorbate (Vitamin C) helps to cure cancer, as ONE PART of a TOTAL NUTRITIONAL PROGRAM. Vitamin C also helps to kill germs in the blood of HIV-infected people. The Bowel Tolerance Test helps you monitor how much Ascorbate your body needs. (Do NOT use Vitamin C from gene-modified corn; it may not work well.)

Note: If you take Designer Foods or eat nutrient-dense foods, you will not need as much Vitamin C, because Whole Food Complexes have many Food Medicines which work together synergistically.

VITAMIN C AND CANCER

Some people just seem to be lucky all their lives. Happy coincidences
seem to happen to them much more often than most. I seem to be one of the
lucky persons with a lot of happy coincidences, both in my life and
practice. Bob walked into my office the week after I had read "Vitamin C
Against Cancer" by H. L. Newbold.

Dr. Newbold is an orthomolecular psychiatrist and a very astute observer
as well as a good writer. In his practice, he has discovered several
items of interest in the health field including the use of vitamin C to
literally cure cancer in many cases.

Another item in particular, is the now proven fact that food allergy or
sensitivity is a major cause of obesity and other forms of overweight.
More on this later.

ABOUT BOB
(A Cancer Fighter Doesn't Give Up)

Bob had made the appointment in order to get a hypnotic tape made for his
use at home. He had just been told by his doctor that his cancer had
spread too far, and he was "terminal". Terminal is doctorese for 3-6
months to live.

Bob was a fighter who didn't want to give up so quickly. He had read Dr.
Carl Simonton's book "Getting Well Again" about the power of positive
thinking and hypnotic focusing of the mind's power in cancer cases.
Several persons had actually been able to reverse the course of cancer
using such positive mind techniques.

We discussed his case at length going over the hypnotic techniques
involved. I taught him a basic self hypnosis technique. We also talked
about the vitamin C therapy which I had just read about. We decided to
try a subliminal tape to go along with the self hypnosis. He borrowed
Newbold's book on vitamin C therapy.

The following day, he returned, not too happy with the subliminal tape. He
wanted one that he could actually hear instead of having the message
underneath the surf sound I had used. I made him another tape.

He had already read the book, and started on the vitamin C and supplements
discussed. He had been very impressed by the research experiment
conducted in Scotland by Doctors Linus Pauling and Ian Cameron.


THE EXPERIMENT
(10,000 mg Vitamin C used)

This experiment used 100 out of 1100 cancer patients. All the patients
were terminal cases. The 100 patients were chosen at random to be as
representative of the entire group as possible. They were given only 10
grams of vitamin C per day. This is not nearly as much as would be
recommended today. The remaining 1000 cases were used as controls.


RESULTS
(All 100 terminal patients did better)
(Medical Journals Choose $$$$ --
Cancer Cures WERE NOT Reported to doctors or to us)

A year later, all of the 1000 control patients were dead. Half of the 100
were still living, and several of these had remissions of their cancer.
Some of these were living 15 years later. It's interesting to note that
this very important experiment was never reported in the US medical
journals. Had it been a new drug with the same results, you would have
seen banner headlines.

No, not a Conspiracy - or not exactly. Realize that all medical journals
depend on drug company advertising for their very existence. What drug
company would place advertising in a journal that published articles
saying that all those expensive drugs weren't as good as inexpensive
(non-patentable) vitamins, or minerals, or amino acids? So, few MD's are
even aware of this experiment, and the tremendous potential of vitamin C
in cancer treatment.


THE EXPERIMENT USED TOO LITTLE VITAMIN C

The research since that historic experiment indicates that 10
grams is a woefully short amount. In all such cases, vitamin C
should be taken in much higher megavitamin amounts.


HOW MUCH VITAMIN C DO YOU NEED?
DIARRHEA TEST

An interesting thing happens with vitamin C "overdose". If you are
relatively disease/infection free, and you start to take 10-15 grams a
day, your body can't absorb this much, and the residue will irritate your
intestinal tract. The result - simple diarreah.

Surprisingly, this fact is of great use in this and other holistic fields.

First, you literally can't overdose as the excess simply goes out of the
body. You could become dehydrated if the diarreah kept up too long, but
that's rather unlikely. Dr. Von did have one case that had been
misdiagnosed by a physician. The patient had suddenly started taking 10
grams of vitamin C a day. Since he had no serious health problems, he
started to experience diarreah. His doctor did several expensive tests
and tried several different drugs to stop the diarreah - none of which
worked. The patient went to Dr. Von, and he diagnosed it immediately,
lowered the vitamin C to 5 grams a day. The patient recovered
immediately. Too little knowledge can indeed be dangerous.


THE SICKER YOU ARE, THE MORE VITAMIN C YOU NEED
[With Blood Viruses--to 100,000 mg (100 g) or more]
By the Diarrhea Test

Second, and much more important, your body will actually absorb many times
as much vitamin C, without diarreah, if you have some disease/infection in
your body. In particular, a virus in the bloodstream, such as a common
cold or flu, will allow an uptake as high as 100 grams a day without any
diarreah. This amount is sometimes needed to knock out the particular
disease/infection.


TOO LITTLE VITAMIN C WILL NOT CURE YOU

What happens if you take lesser amounts than are needed
to kill the virus or bacteria invaders? Simple - you don't
kill them all! Since both multiply at an amazing rate -
actually doubling in about 20 minutes, they quickly get
back to saturation strength within a short time. In about
3 hours or so, one virus or bacteria cell becomes 1000!


FDA's RECOMMENDED DAILY ALLOWANCE (RDA) OF 75 mg
DOES NOT HELP VERY SICK PEOPLE

The RDA for vitamin C is only 75 milligrams (.075 grams). This is an
example of the futility in using these RDA figures for any "health"
amounts. The RDA or Recommended Daily Amounts used to be called the MDA
or Minimum Daily Amounts. This is much more truthful, but not as good for
the cereal advertisers, so their lobby changed the name. Doesn't it sound
like that's the amount needed for good health? Particularly when you hear
the misleading cereal advertisements? Not so. These listed RDA amounts
are still only the MINIMUM amounts required to prevent serious deficiency
diseases such as scurvy, beri-beri, and pellegra. The idea that it's the
amount for good health is a result of Madison Avenue advertising.


DIFFERENT PEOPLE NEED DIFFERENT AMOUNTS OF VITAMIN C

Most of us in this field who have studied vitamins and actual health
requirements believe that .075 grams of vitamin C is way too little.
Most agree that 2 grams (2000 milligrams) of supplementary vitamin C is a
minimum starting point. Some experts in this field would increase that to
4-5 grams a day, and some even more than this. If you're a smoker or
under a lot of stress, then 4 grams may be a minimum for you.

The rest of the vitamins are similarly low in the RDA. Only the mineral
amounts are fairly close to what an "average" person might need. This
ignores the tremendous variability between each individual human being in
his/her requirements, not to mention where they live, their diet, what
they drink, etc.


MD's DON'T KNOW THE TRUTH
(Victim of Medical Journals & AMA dogma)

Now we can see a bit better why so many MD's say (and honestly believe)
that vitamin C isn't effective against colds and flu? They recommend 500
or even 1000 mg - which to their mind is a megadose - after all, it's ten
times the RDA. Some shortsighted experimenters have even gone very much
higher, and used as much as 7-8 grams. Wow, a hundred times the RDA,
that's a megadose - or so they think!

When it has little or no effect, they publish another learned paper in
some medical journal (or popular magazine) saying that vitamin C has no
effect on colds or flu, and they have "proven it".

Your doctor isn't an idiot, or even a bad guy - he's just the victim of
his extensive (and expensive) education, and he believes the AMA dogma. He
reads medical journals to keep up naturally. There's no reason for him to
disbelieve the articles that appear in his journals about vitamin C not
being effective. He must reason that if any such therapy was good, it
would be reported in such journals. The individual doctor is probably not
even aware that the medical journals he reads are literally controlled by
the drug advertising. Don't blame your doctor for his lack of knowledge.
Blame the system.


BOWEL TOLERANCE TEST FOR CANCER
To find Correct Dose for You
Use ASCORBATE (Vitamin C)

In the case of cancer, the correct dosage of vitamin C has to be
determined for each individual. It's not too difficult using a powdered
vitamin C in the form of ascorbate. This is a "buffered" form which
neutralizes the acidity of pure ascorbic acid (vitamin C). One teaspoon
equals 4 grams. The patient takes one teaspoon every hour until he just
starts to experience diarreah. If no diarreah is experienced within 4-6
hours, then the dosage is doubled to two teaspoons per hour, etc.

A few grams below the diarreah dosage is the amount required for that
particular individual every eight hours. This is called the "bowel
tolerance dosage". It can sometimes be amazingly high indeed! In a few
cases of cancer, doses of up to 200 grams have been required. In one case
in the literature of a schizophrenic woman, 50 grams a day was required to
keep her stable and relatively normal.


AIDS -- UP TO 200,000 mg
(To Help Fight Diseases)

Dr. Robert Cathcart, an orthomolecular physician, has been successfully
treating AIDS patients for several years with doses up to 200 grams. It
doesn't cure AIDS, but they don't die easily from other diseases, as do
other AIDS victims.


BACK TO BOB
Take Vitamin C at 4-hour intervals

By using bowel tolerance, Bob found that his correct dosage was 66 grams a
day split into six 11 gram doses at four hour intervals. It is important
to keep the blood saturated, and since vitamin C is gradually removed
along with whatever it has "scavenged" over several hours, taking it every
four hours is usually recommended.

Bob returned to my office about every two weeks for the next few months to
have me change the wording on the tape. He wanted to keep it fresh and
different - not so repetitive as to lose effect. Actually, this was
probably unnecessary, but since he believed it, it was important to him.
The patients beliefs are always important and contribute to the cure.


BOB'S CANCER GONE

After some three months, his doctor was amazed to find that Bob's cancer
was actually in remission. Bob was overjoyed when he reported this to me,
and he also reported that he had to reduce the vitamin C to about 20 grams
a day, due to bowel tolerance lowering. This, of course, is another
indication that the cancer was reversing its course.

Another life saved. Very ego gratifying of anyone in this profession.
Although the tape probably helped, I'm convinced that the vitamin C was
the real operative agent. This was my first cancer patient, but not the
last.


100% SUCCESS (4 PATIENTS)
(Vitamins & Minerals were also taken)
NEPHEW STORY

While I have only worked with 4 cases, all were successful. The last one
was the most significant to me. My nephew David was 28 years old and
living in Maine at that time. He called me and told me he had cancer in
his chest and lymph glands. I immediately outlined a supporting vitamin
regimen and explained the vitamin C bowel tolerance dosage. He started on
it immediately.

A few days later, he called, and said that his doctor wanted to start
radiation therapy. I advised him to do what the doctor said, but to keep
the vitamin regimen, even if they had to smuggle them into the hospital.
His wife is a nurse, and she did just that. His reported daily dosage was
just under 50 grams.

A few weeks later, he called and said, "I don't know why people make all
that fuss about radiation therapy - it wasn't all that bad for me."

I replied, "Are you still taking the vitamins, including high vitamin C?"

"Yes, of course, Barbara won't let me forget."

"Well, there's your answer, the vitamin C alleviates most of the horrible
side effects of radiation therapy. For other people without vitamin C,
it's a very bad experience."

"Oh, I didn't know that. Well, anyway, my doctor wants me to start on
chemotherapy."

"OK, but keep up the vitamin regimen, and that won't be bad for you
either."

He promised to do so, and the next call I got was a couple of months later
when he called to tell me that his doctor was flabbergasted to find that
his cancer was completely gone. He had also suffered none of the horrible
side effects of chemotherapy. He told the doctor about the vitamin C.
Such is the brainwashing in the AMA that even that case didn't convince
the doctor. Oh well... None so blind...

Don't overlook a major point here. It's possible to do all the standard
cancer therapy from radiation to chemotherapy along with the vitamin C
(and a good supporting vitamin/mineral supplement program). The vitamin
regimen actually lessens considerably the usually horrible side effects of
both. Many "victims" of cancer treatment have been vehement in their
refusal of further extremely painful treatments. Horror stories abound
about both conventional treatments. The vitamin regimen has proven over
and over that it works, and in conjunction with standard treatment, it
works even better. All we have to do is convince the medical profession
of this fact. Unfortunately, there are still too many doctors whose
attitude is, "Don't confuse me with facts - my mind's made up!"


HOW DOES VITAMIN C WORK TO CURE CANCER?

Why does vitamin C work to cure cancer? We don't have all the answers to
this question as yet. One theory is that "saturating" the blood with
vitamin C kills off any invading bacteria, viruses, and yeast that may be
present. This frees up more of the body's natural immune system defenses,
and they are able to "concentrate" more on the cancerous cells. There is
also the probability that vitamin C actually improves the activity of the
immune system, particularly the white blood cells which seek out and
destroy cancer cells. Of course, the rest of the vitamins and minerals in
balance are also helpful. If they aren't present, some cells of the
immune system might not be produced at just the right time.


REGGIE'S STORY
(Vitamin C effective for blood-viral diseases)

There were several other purely physical cases where vitamin C solved
physical diseases actually caused by bloodborn viruses. One that
illustrates vitamin C therapy well was Reggie's. Reggie was a born-again
fundamentalist/evangelist type of preacher. He arrived in my office
accompanied by a couple of his followers, and informed me that he had
heard me on a local talk show talking about vitamin C and viruses. He had
just been diagnosed with viral hepatitis. This is a very debilitating
disease.

His doctor wanted him in the hospital immediately, but he refused. He
was seeing me as a last resort before the hospital.

I told him that I couldn't recommend anything except hospitalization for
fear of "practicing medicine without a license." This is a very difficult
area, and since I knew of a couple of cases where others (including Dr.
Von) had actually been arrested on very little evidence, I knew that I was
on shaky ground. However, I can't just ignore people in distress.

We discussed his problem, and I told him about vitamin C, and it's use
against viral diseases in particular. Since his disease was definitely a
bloodstream viral type, I knew that vitamin C could knock it out in a very
short time. I gave him instructions as to getting up to bowel tolerance
level quickly, and listed the other vitamins and minerals needed for
supplementary use.

That was on Friday, and he came into my office on Monday, making an
appointment (and paying for an hour) just to thank me. He had cured
himself by Sunday, and had been able to give his usual fire and brimstone
sermon! He complained that he had stomach pains, and some mouth canker
sores. He thought that these might have been from the vitamin C. He
hadn't been able to get the ascorbate form I'd recommended, so he got a
regular powdered vitamin C on the recommendation of a health food store.
(They were probably out of the ascorbate form, and didn't want to lose a
sale.) That much acid isn't kind to either the mouth or the stomach. He
didn't really mind the minor pain and discomfort however, as he had cured
himself of his major problem.


FOLLOW DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY
Vitamin C helps kill Bacteria & Viruses
(in bloodstream, but not in organs)
(Colds or flus, mononucleosis, viral hepatitis, pneumonia, etc.)

There have been many other friends, friends of friends, and relatives who
have taken megadoses of vitamin C on my recommendation. Every case I've
heard about was successful if they followed the directions carefully.
(Unfortunately, not everybody does this!) The viral diseases susceptible
to vitamin C therapy include colds or flus, mononucleosis, viral
hepatitis, pneumonia, etc.

Note that all of these are viruses that are found in the bloodstream.
There are many viral types such as AIDS and various types of herpes that
locate themselves in some organ of the body. These types are not affected
by vitamin C, simply because they are hidden from it by not being in the
bloodstream. Also note that bloodborn bacterial infections are also
affected by vitamin C. It is both a bactericide and a viricide.

Hepatitis

As anyone who has had any experience with either mono or hepatitis can
testify, these are very debilitating diseases with long lasting results,
and slow recovery. In many cases, a patient will take 3-4 months, or even
more, to fully recover. Contrast this to a couple of days using vitamin
C! Vitamin C is truly a wonder drug overlooked by the medical community in
general.


ANIMALS CAN MAKE VITMAIN C --- MAN CANNOT!
Everyone needs more Vitamin C when stressed
(Dogs eat rotten food. Vitamin C protects them)

Almost all animals except the primate (ape) family, which includes humans,
produce vitamin C as required within their own bodies. The production of
vitamin C in all these other animals is dramatically increased when the
animal is stressed with disease or other factors. This is also why most
animals can safely eat meat and other food that is "spoiled" for human
consumption. The vitamin C that they produce in their body protects them
from the bacterial overload in such foods. What does this tell you about
the human need for vitamin C when under stress of disease or other
factors?

We can't produce it in our bodies on demand.

As a further matter of interest, a 150 pound ape in a zoo requires a
minimum of 4 grams of vitamin C per day just for health maintenance.
Since this ape has exactly the same need for vitamin C as humans, isn't it
amazing that the FDA and the AMA think we humans only need .075 grams a
day? And apes supposedly aren't under as much stress as we humans.
Who's correct? You be the judge.
