At Vital You Integrative Cancer Care, one of the foundational treatments we provide is high dose intravenous vitamin C (IVC) therapy, a powerful and versatile treatment that benefits individuals dealing with a wide range of conditions, including cancer patients and those with vitamin C deficiency. Our mission is to offer help and hope to those struggling with serious illnesses, emphasizing not only symptom management but also long-term health and well-being.
The use of IV vitamin C therapy is supported by an extensive body of medical research. It has been recognized as a potent antiviral agent and plays a pivotal role in bolstering the immune system’s ability to combat bacterial and fungal infections. The National Cancer Institute and the National Institutes of Health have published evidence confirming vitamin C’s anti-cancer properties, including its potential to induce cancer cell selective toxicity and enhance the effectiveness of conventional cancer therapies.
High dose vitamin C, administered as pharmacologic ascorbic acid concentrations intravenously, achieves vitamin C plasma concentration levels far beyond those possible with oral vitamin supplements. These pharmacological doses have been shown in preclinical and clinical trials to induce cytotoxicity in various cancer cells, including colorectal cancer cells, pancreatic cancer cells, and prostate cancer cells, while sparing normal cells.
IV vitamin C therapy offers a multitude of advantages, including:
Clinical trials have explored the use of intravenous vitamin C treatment in various cancer types, including stage IV pancreatic cancer, metastatic colorectal cancer, lung cancer, and multiple myeloma patients. Early phase ascorbate trials combined with standard cancer therapies have shown that high dose ascorbic acid doses ranged from 15 g to 100 g per infusion, administered weekly ascorbic acid infusion or more frequently, are generally well tolerated. These studies indicate that iv vitamin c administration can reduce chemotherapy-related toxicities and improve quality of life without interfering with the efficacy of chemotherapy agents.
We offer many IV nutrition treatments as part of each patient’s individualized plan based on symptoms, treatment plan, and lab results, including:
