Vitamin C Cancer Protocol

Vitamin C Cancer Protocol

Jake Ames, MD, HMD

When given IV vitamin C in very high doses, it acts as an oxidant and generates hydrogen peroxide to kills viruses, pathogenic bacteria and cancer cells.

Precautions and Side Effects

The side effects are rare.  Usually the patient will get thirsty during the IV and require more water and will urinate a lot.

Rarely there will be an irritation of the vein.  It is usually do to the hypertonicity of the vitamin C solution.  Decreasing the flow rate usually works.  Sometimes the catheter will have to be readjusted or a heating pad placed over the IV site.  The vitamin C solution should always be warmed at first in a crock pot.  Oftentimes adding 5 cc of 1% plain lidocaine into the IV bag helps.

A diabetic will show a falsely elevated glucose on his diabetic glucose strips.  Blood tested in a laboratory using the hexokinase serum glucose method is not accurate.  The electrochemical strip cannot distinguish between ascorbic acid and glucose at high levels.

Hemolysis has been reported in patients with G6PD deficiency.   The G6PD level should be assessed before beginning vitamin C IV’s, Glucose-6-Phosphate deficiency is sex-linked, transmitted from the mother (usually a healthy carrier) to her son (or daughter, who would be a healthy carrier too. This is due to G6PD being carried on the X chromosome.   The deficit is most prevalent in Africa (affecting up to 20% of the population), but is common also around the Mediterranean (4% - 30%) and Southeast Asia.  There are more than 400 genetic variants of the deficiency.  Order a blood test for G6PD.  Most physicians do not test for it.  They usually start a patient on 25 grams IV vitamin C and increase the dose next IV.

Do not give it as an IV push unless the patient is going to die quickly from an infection, as the osmolality at high doses may cause sclerosing of peripheral veins, nor should it be given intramuscularly or subcutaneously.

Tumor necrosis or tumor lysis syndrome has been reported in one patient, and acute oxalate nephropathy (kidney stones) was reported in one patient.

I have given thousands of IV vitamin C, and my colleagues have too.  We have never seen any kidney stones being formed from IV vitamin C.

Rarely a patient may become shaky and light-headed due to hypoglycemia.  They should eat a good meal with protein, fats and carbohydrates at least 2-3 hours before the IV.

Someone with congestive heart failure and kidney disease will have to have either less or a slower drip rate.  Use common sense.

This is the safest and most effective IV protocol I have ever used.

Start with 25 grams of IV vitamin C in 500 ml of sterile water.  Add 2 cc of either magnesium sulfate (50% - 25 grams/50 ml) or 2cc of Magnesium Chloride (200 mg/ml) and 2 cc of Calcium Gluconate (10% - 100 mg/ml).

This is done in 90 minutes.  The Next IV put 50 grams into the 500 ml body of sterile water, same recipe to be delivered in 90 minutes.

75-100 grams of vitamin C are delivered in 3 hours.  Do the same protocol as the 50 gram protocol.  Just make up two bottles.

You can add trace minerals, selenium, zinc or other minerals if needed.

I have given myself 300 grams in one day when I had a very severe flu.  My only side-effect was that the flu was 90% gone the next day.  Cancer patients should have a port or pic-line inserted and can have 100 grams every day or twice a day.  Bring a sandwich with meat, butter and cheese or a meal.  It’s important not to get hypoglycemic.  Some patients feel the best at 50 grams or 75 grams a day.  We are different, and the doses may change as the disease changes.
