New Study: Vitamin C Kills ‘Untreatable’ Cancer Cells

• This finding like all previous findings on the positive effects of Vitamin C on cancer, will be buried and quietly ignored by Big Pharma and ‘people under their payroll’ (wink wink). Would Big Pharma support a cancer cure that destroys their US$500B highly profitable business? Of course, not. For all those of you who insists that there are ‘No Cures for Cancer’, trust me, you are an IDIOT.

• New Study: Vitamin C Kills ‘Untreatable’ Cancer Cells
  by Lori Alton, staff writer, http://www.naturalhealth365.com/  
  (NaturalHealth365) Findings from a new study offer further evidence of the cancer-fighting properties of vitamin C. This time, research shows the powerful antioxidant may be effective in combating a class of cancerous tumors – including colorectal cancer cells – that can be particularly difficult to treat by conventional means.
  –
  Findings of the study, which showed the vitamin was effective in curbing cancer-causing mutations in mice, were published recently in the journal Science. Vitamin C is already known for its effectiveness in detoxifying the body and boosting the immune system. Notably championed by globally respected scientist Dr. Linus Pauling and other advocates as a treatment for cancer and heart disease, these latest findings on vitamin C may open the door for its use as treatment for some of the most challenging cancers.

  A safe way to attack ‘difficult-to-treat’ cancer tumors
  It may sound incredible that a deadly disease like cancer could be treated by something as simple (and safe) as vitamin C. For decades, naysayers denied what Nobel Prize-winning chemist Pauling and others outside the conventional medical establishment had discovered: Vitamin C can be effective against many of the serious illnesses that have plagued mankind – including cancer.
  –
  The most recently published study using cell culture and mice shows that vitamin C was effective at killing tumor cells that carry a common cancer-causing mutation. The hope is that the findings may eventually lead to the ability to use vitamin C to create a variety oftargeted treatments against deadly cancers.
  –
  In the study, researchers from Harvard Medical School, Weill Cornell Medicine, The Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and Tufts Medical Center teamed up to investigate the effect of high doses of vitamin C on colorectal tumor formation. Using roughly the equivalent of the amount of vitamin C found in 300 oranges, the scientists were able to document impaired growth of KRAS-mutant and BRAF-mutant colorectal tumors in cultured cells as well as in mice.

  Vitamin C acts as Trojan horse in cancer cells
  Typically, the health benefits of vitamin C are associated in large part with its role as an effective antioxidant, helping to prevent or at least delay certain types of damage to cells. However, this latest study shows an entirely different role regarding its effect on certain forms of colorectal cancer, with it actually inducing oxidation in cancer cells.
  –
  In oxygen-rich environments, like arteries, a portion of vitamin C is oxidized and transformed into a new compound known as dehydroascorbic acid or DHA. This new compound is able to act as a Trojan horse and pass through the cancer cell membrane, thanks to a protein glucose transmitter.
  –
  Once inside, the cancer cell’s natural antioxidants attempt to convert DHA back to ascorbic acid, but are unable to keep up and instead become depleted, with the cancer cell then dying of oxidative stress. Because certain colorectal cancer cells produce greater amounts of reactive oxygen than other cell types, they need more antioxidants to survive. This makes them more susceptible to the action of DHA than normal cells or even other types of cancer cells.

• High dose of vitamin C can kill colorectal cancer cells (+Video)
  by Ken Petersen, http://www.natureworldreport.com/  
  Vitamin C is known to be an effective component in the the treatment of some diseases and for regulating key parts of the body’s functioning. Now, new findings suggest that Vitamin C could also be a novel cancer treatment.
  –
  Abram Hoffer, M.D., Ph.D said in an older study that administering vitamin C is an important part of any cancer treatment program. One important discovery in trials was that giving large amounts of Vitamin B3, along with vitamin C to patients in cancer treatment programs, regardless of their diagnosis, tended to do very well.
  –
  However, the molecular mechanism that leads to such results remains unknown. Many clinical trials aiming to discovery what makes Vitamin C so effective are in progress.
