Vitamin c has been proven to reduce the length of symptoms but not to prevent illness. Recommendations are lots of fresh fruit and veg rather than supplementation.

I am more thinking of the contraindications for PCa peeps. Certain vitamins and minerals are know to execerbate PCa and I don;t want to to be taking anything that does.

Does anyone know the relationship between Vitamin C and PCa?

I’m not so sure about that one, hopefully someone does.

When I did a lot of research on PCa following my diagnosis in 2007, I unearthed a story about an American Doctor who treated patients with very high doses of vitamin C. This was done by direct injection and with very good results but he was barred from doing this so lost his battle with the authorities for giving this form of treatment despite having many willing patients. I don't remember much about the story now other than in tablet form it was much less effective.

Anybody contemplating taking high doses of vitamin C should check with their Doctor that this does not adversely affect any other medication they are having.

Yes, that ties in with what I read here

Mega dosing may work but it appears that regular supplementation with Vitamin D is contra-indicated.

Hi folks, I am new on the forum but not to the C and I have been on Watchful-waiting for about 10 years.

I have been taking 24 grams of ascorbic acid, vitamin C all of that time and I believe that it has slowed down my cancer. At the moment I am reading a book by an American doctor, Thomas E Leyv, called Curing the Incurable, Vitamin C, Infectious Diseases and Toxins. He is reckoned to be one of the worlds leading lights on vit C and it is a VERY interesting read. Well worth the £19 from Amazon.

The intravenous injections have been proved to be very effective, but I believe that because there is no profit for Big Pharma they won't go anywhere near it. I know that if I can find a practitioner near to me then I would certainly be looking to get an appointment with them.
