Cancer occurs when cells start to multiply and grow abnormally. Cancer cells continue to multiply despite the body’s signals sent to stop replication and rapidly become tumors or lumps. Metastasis is when cancer spreads from its original location to other body parts.  

How to prevent cancer?

  • Keep your body Alkaline and avoid foods that cause acidity
  • Avoid environmental toxins such as heavy metals and gasoline
  • Avoid extreme exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF) such as iPhones, wifi, and electrical heating pads
  • Avoid Cigarette smoking and drugs
  • Avoid Stresscancer turquoise ribbon

What else is new?

Dr. Jeanne Drisko teamed up with several oncologists at the University of Kansas City Cancer Center to study the effects of high-dose vitamin C on cancer cells.  In this study, a patient with pancreatic cancer used high-dose IV vitamin C therapy as the main mode of treatment and was able to survive for four years.  (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5882293/).  Several other studies included placebo and IV vitamin C with and without chemo.  More studies are warranted in this field to see the effectiveness of high-dose IV vitamin C as a pro-oxidant rather than an antioxidant.  This means that IV vitamin C at much higher doses functioned as hydrogen peroxide and was soaked up by cancer cells, damaging them.  In conjunction with chemotherapy, vitamin C can be given at high doses to support and improve the quality of life in those with end-stage cancer.

Dr. Lalezar uses the same protocol used at the Kansas City Cancer Center.  This is not an FDA-approved therapy, and we do not claim or state that it can be used for the treatment or cure of cancer.  However, with the approval of your oncologist, we can use high-dose IV vitamin C in conjunction with other treatments to support your body and help you with the side effects of chemotherapy.

Before starting high-dose Vitamin C therapy, the G6PD level is checked.  G6PD is an enzyme necessary to process Vitamin C.  If it’s abnormal, one won’t be able to receive a high dose of vitamin C because hemolytic anemia may occur.

IV Vitamin C dose is started at 25 grams and gradually increased.   Our goal is to help you reach a therapeutic vitamin c level of 350-450 ug/dl in your blood.  Each infusion takes 1-3 hours and is given 1-2 times per week.
