ESTIMATIVE VITAMIN C INTRAVENOUS PROTOCOL FOR CANCER
Vitamin C is the most important antioxidant in extracellular fluid. It is necessary for the synthesis of carnitine, neurotransmitters, correct function of cytochrome P450 and detoxification of substances.
There is scientific evidence that intravenous vitamin C
administered at high doses increases cellular respiration and produces an
increase in ATP production with the consequent increase in energy
production at the cellular level. This action gives it great relevance in the
treatment of chronic degenerative diseases and cancer.
High-dose intravenous vitamin C
as an integrative treatment in cancer
The doses used vary between 10 gr...50 gr or more, depending on the
type of tumor, the stage and the effects we try to achieve: stimulating
the immune system, antioxidant effect or antitumor effect.
Vitamin C is considered one of the main free radical scavengers
of the organism, protecting cell membranes from the oxidative action of free
radicals. It has been proven that cancer patients have low blood vitamin C
levels.
Vitamin C is necessary for a correct synthesis of collagen.
Cell membrane and the extracellular matrix need collagen to have
normal structure for preventing tumor invasion and metastasis.
The amount of collagen in cell membrane and extracellular
matrix determines the tissue
resistance to tumor infiltration.
Vitamin C is essential to ensure
proper functioning of the immune system. It is needed for the synthesis of
immunoglobulins. White blood cells contain high concentrations of vitamin
C.
Intravenous vitamin C administered at high doses has cytotoxic
effect on tumor cells. This effect is due to the fact that it
inhibits the use of pyruvate, necessary for aerobic glycolysis carried out
by the cancer cell. It inhibits prostaglandins derived from arachidonic acid
that increase cell proliferation.
Intravenous vitamin C can be used during chemotherapy treatments, as long as it is not administered within 48 hours before and after chemotherapy.
Week 6: 1 x 100 g (10 iv bottles) infusion per day, 3 times per week.
