Treating Cancer with Vitamin C Mega Dose 10Grams?
I have Prostate cancer spreading to Spine. I am on Calutide 50, 3 tablets a day.
One Nobel Laureate Doctor suggests that we take
Vitamin C 10Grams Mega dose to fight cancer.
Is it advisable to take such large dose?
Will it affect kidneys?
I would like to have expert answer.

There is much controversy regarding the relationship between vitamin C intake and prostate cancer risk. Some studies show that increased levels of vitamin C reduce one's risk for prostate cancer. Other studies show that vitamin C has no effect on this risk.
On the other hand, the relationship between vitamin C as a treatment for prostate cancer is quite surprising. Our group, while at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center found that prostate tumors consume large amounts of vitamin C. Dr. David Agus, the principal investigator of this study, emphasizes that "tumors appear to have nutritional needs, similar to other healthy cells, but take in larger amounts of this vitamin." More research needs to be done to find out the exact role of vitamin C in prostate cancer treatment.
Dear Mr. Siva, It is not advisable to take suggestions from this form on line and you have to strictly take medications as per your Oncologist prescribes as he is the best judge on the spot to give you advice. Please consult and act accordingly and do not go on the informations available on net AS CANCER IS STILL AN ENIGMA and should be treated properly. Best of luck for a speedy recovery..

Not a doctor,,but I want you to know that I'll be hoping and praying for your speedy heeling. Get ahold of the Carmelites (located in Carmel California),,,they are a group of nuns. Their prayr'es for me heeled my polio (over night),,once upon a midnight clear in 1959. I'm sure they would pray for you too!
God Bless you and keep you well!

Linus Pauling lived to the young age of 93!!! I would discount cancer as the ultimate cause in his case in IMHO. If his belief in C sustained his life to 93..that's good enough for me too!! LOL

Which Nobel Laureate suggested this by the way? I can see treating cancer with hyperdoses of C (or even better, the fruits that give C because they have more antioxidants), because it will help prevent metastasis and promote a healthy immune system, but that much C would affect the Kidneys. Though vitamin C is rather harmless in large amounts, your kidneys would still have to work overtime to keep the levels right. If you already have kidney problems, this wouldn't be a good idea. If you have healthy kidneys it shouldn't be too much of a stretch, just something to keep in mind for the rest of your overall healthy.
By the way, I'm not really an expert, I'm still a medical student, but I do know my stuff.

Well, if you are talking about Linus Pauling you should know that despite taking Vitamin C for years both he and his wife died from cancer. It's always ironic when the people who continually push and persuade others about questionable 'cancer cure's' wind up with the disease themselves. Vitamin C didn't do anything for Pauling's prostate cancer and he died just as his 'patients' did . . with cancer.

That Nobel Prize winner was Dr. Linus Pauling and was NOT a doctor of medicine. He was awarded a PhD in physical chemistry and mathematical physics. He won his Nobel Prize in Chemistry for describing chemical bonds and a Nobel Prize for activism against nuclear weapons.
The medical community and most of the scientific community doubt the value of high dose vitamin C as a treatment for cancer.
