I've heard for years that many choose super high doses of Vitamin C as an added treatemnt to chemothereapy for many cancers. And by 'high' I mean a kilogram or two of vitamin C per day, intravenous.

Are they also attached to a catheter?

I would imagine! Barrel time at Niagara falls! The only side effect, given such high doses, was dry mouth.

I am sill pretty skeptical about such a treatment, but then again there is a great deal we don't know about our own bodies. And it's nice to see actual experimental evidence of something people have been doing for years.

We're also not rodents and metabolize things differently.

I know, but mice are a good analog of the way cancer progresses in we primates.

It may not translate 100% to us, but at least people who have been taking these treatments haven't been harmed by them. They may be ineffective, but they aren't harmful compared to some of the fake treatments and 'holistic' practitioners out there.

I agree.
