Ascorbate
Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is a potent water-soluble antioxidant in humans. Protocols that integrate high doses of intravenous Vitamin C in the treatment of cancer and various immune disorders such as chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia have shown special benefits. The body cannot form this vitamin, therefore, it has to be ingested for survival.
Studies in the 1970's and 1980's by Nobel price laureate Linus Pauling and colleagues suggested that very large doses of vitamin C were helpful in increasing the survival time and improving the quality of life of terminal cancer patients.
Only recently, in 2006, researchers at the US National Institutes of Health published an article in the peer-reviewed Canadian Medical Association Journal that called for a reassessment of the effectiveness of vitamin C as a cancer treatment. Vitamin C treatment is currently still considered an alternative medicine. Lead researcher Sebastian J. Padayatty found high concentrations of vitamin C to be toxic to cancer cells, but not to healthy cells.
In the August 4–8, 2008 issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researcher and co-author of the study, Mark Levine, M.D., chief of the US National Institutes of Health’s Molecular and Clinical Nutritional Section, found that intravenous vitamin C produced hydrogen peroxide, which proceeded to reduce cancerous tumors in mice by 43 to 51 %. The mice had ovarian, pancreatic and brain cancer. According to the researchers it is possible to intravenously boost levels of vitamin C in humans to the levels used in the mice. The results also indicate that at pharmacologic levels, vitamin C elicits hydrogen peroxide-dependent cytotoxicity only toward cancer cells, leaving normal cells unscathed.

The high concentrations of vitamin C in the blood needed to kill cancer cells cannot be achieved orally, but only by intravenous infusions.
At the Issels Medical Center we have developed protocols for optimal effectiveness. We integrate these protocols of intravenous vitamin C therapy into our comprehensive treatment programs which we administer to qualified patients after the G6PD (Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase) analysis. The results of the comprehensive approach are remarkable.
DISCLAIMER: The extent of the response to treatment varies from patient to patient, even with similar diagnosis as the internal bodily environment is unique to each individual patient.
