LICENSED NURSE WITNESSED VIT. C THERAPY

As a medical professional I have used this book to preform vitamin c therapy on cancer patients. Even A friend of mine was diagnosed with brain tumor and experienced a complete remission after following the guidelines in this book. Funny how the doctor who saved his life was severely reprimanded for performing vitamin c infusions.

I still don't believe it and neither did the neuro surgeons.

This book explains why the A.M.A. and how the A.M.A. discredits vitamin c trials and their results by pointing out the discrepancies in testing, misleading language, and a total lack of objectivity which should always be prevalent in any scientific discussion. Really, if a therapy is safe, cheap, and provides hope, what's the big objection?

A real eye opener! Extremely informative! A must for all cancer patients!

Snake oil ...

This book is an example of "conspiracy medicine". This area of "alternative" belief appeals to those who always prefer to believe that there is a great secret that could save all humanity, and which is being kept from us by the Powers for their own nefarious reasons.

In this case, the conspiracy is due to the "fact" that, if we all swallowed our own weight in vitamin C daily, we could put the entire medical establishment out of business. But, although vitamin C is important for good health, it is not a miracle cure. Repeated, carefully constructed studies show that it does not prolong the lives of people with cancer. It also does not prevent the common cold. And how's this for a conspiracy theory? The Linus Pauling Institute of Medicine's largest corporate donor is Hoffman-La Roche, the pharmaceutical giant that produces most of the world's vitamin C.

(It should perhaps also be pointed out that, despite ingesting vast quantities of vitamin C for many years, Dr. Pauling died of cancer. I recommend the curious to search the archives at quackwatch.com for more information on this and other dangerous "alternative" medical beliefs.)

Finally a scientific book that leaves no rebuttals about C!

This book is excellent. It is one of the few "layman's" books out there that actually present referenced scientific research for the public to truly understand. And the research involves an extremely important health aspect---why millions of people around the world are dying from cancer every year, and why most of them do not have to die if they take several grams of Vitamin C daily. Personally I recommend calcium ascorbate, because it's buffered, and it won't upset a person's stomach. I have taken the liberty of referencing a few sentences of Pauling and Cameron's work in the Cancer chapter of my book "The Failures of American Medicine"...
