You may also want to look at the original work done on high dose Vitamin C (given intravenously - it is not effective when given orally for reasons noted in the references below) for cancer treatment by Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling.\n\n1) Canadian Medical Association Journal, 2006 Mar 28;174(7):937-942, by Padayatty SJ, et al. "Intravenously administered vitamin C as cancer therapy: three cases."\n\n2) Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2005 Sep 20;102(38):13604-13609, by Chen Q, et al.  "Pharmacologic ascorbic acid concentrations selectively kill cancer cells: Action as a pro-drug to deliver hydrogen peroxide to tissues."\n\n3) Annals of Internal Medicine, 2004 Apr 6;140(7);533-538, by Padayatty SJ, et al.  "Vitamin C Pharmacokinetics: Implications for Oral and Intravenous Use."\n\n4) Journal of the American College of Nutrition, 2000;19(4):423-425, editorial.  "Reevaluation of Ascorbate in Cancer Treatment: Emerging Evidence, Open Minds and Serendipity."\n\nHope you find these helpful.  Best wishes.
