Vitamin C and Cancer - isn't that what Linus Pauling was saying 40 years ago?

Pauling was promoting oral megadosing, and his studies were criticized for being flawed. This is different, and showing some promise, but the jury's not in yet. (Not taking sides - waiting for the jury... ) From what I've read so far, I'd still be hesitant to use the C-word - "cure" - yet. There may still be a long way to go.

More recently, vitamin C given intravenously (IV) has been touted to have different effects than vitamin C taken orally. This has prompted renewed interest in the use of IV vitamin C as a cancer therapy. However, there is still no evidence that vitamin C has any effect on cancer. Until clinical trials are completed, it's premature to determine what role, if any, IV vitamin C may play in the treatment of cancer.
