The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
IV vitamin C so vitamin C if given intravenously and give out up to about a hundred grams about you could yeah 25 two hundred grams is kind of pushing it but vitamin C ascorbic acid also functions as a glucose antagonists yes sure you have dextrose on hand yeah but not if you're in a state of ketosis right so if you're in a state of ketosis so I did a pretty high dose vitamin C but being in a state of ketosis you can tolerate higher amounts

Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

High-dose intravenous vitamin C selectively kills cancer cells by increasing H2O2 & potently kills cancer stem cells https://t.co/Cdj3bpjpu5
Intravenous vitamin C, you get much higher, up to millimolar concentrations of vitamin C in your blood. So vitamin C is constantly going through the cycle of being reduced and oxidized and reduced and oxidized. When it's oxidized, it can act as a pro-oxidant. That's part of the way it kills cancer cells because cancer cells, they're ready to die but they've found a way around death by increasing all these genes that stop them from dying. But all they need is a little push. That little push is like reactive oxygen species or a pro-oxidant like vitamin C. It just pops them, pushes them to death.
Multiple studies suggest that high-dose intravenous vitamin C can assist in cancer cell death primarily due to the formation of hydrogen peroxide
