High Dose Vitamin C Infusion

Clinically Proven to Kill Cancer Cells and Reduce Side Effects from Chemo and Radiation

High Dose IV Vitamin C (IVC) Cancer Treatment

Over 50 years of treatment use cases and research has collected proven evidence that high doses of intravenous vitamin C (IVC) can safely and effectively improve a patient’s ability to fight cancer. You can review the IVC Treatment Guide that compiles research from over 100 cancer treatment studies exploring how vitamin C kills cancer cells and protects normal cells from the damaging effects of chemo and radiation.

While using IVC to treat cancer was once classified as an “alternative” option, the abundance of evidence compiled over the last 50 years has prompted the National Institute of Health, National Cancer Institute, and top Cancer Centers (John Hopkins, Mayo Clinic, Cornell Medical College, Holder Cancer Center) to recognize IVC as a cancer treatment.

Leading cancer Doctors recommend high dose Vitamin C treatment

Which cancer patients can benefit from IVC?

Clinical Trials have shown that high dose IV vitamin C is very effective when combined with standard cancer therapy. Studies also provide evidence that shows IVC can be beneficial for a variety of cancer treatment approaches:

  1. Enhance effectiveness of chemo and/or radiation treatment

  2. Reduce severity and long term impact of chemo/radiation side effects

  3. Treat cancer that is not responding to standard cancer therapy

  4. Prolong remission of cancer

  5. Extend overall life and improve quality of life for those considered terminally ill

Which cancer types has high dose IV vitamin C shown to be effective against?

Studies have shown high doses of vitamin C can kill a variety of cancer cell types and improve the capability of chemo, targeted, radio, and hormonal therapy against the following cancers:

  1. Lung

  2. Breast

  3. Colorectal

  4. Prostate

  5. Pancreatic

  6. Ovarian

  7. Gastric

  8. Glioblastoma

  9. Cervical

  10. Multiple myeloma

  11. Myelodysplastic syndrome

  12. Leukemia

  13. Lymphoma

  14. Melanoma

  15. Head and neck

  16. Oral squamous

  17. Sarcoma

What is the process to begin IVC treatment?

Patients interested in pursuing high dose vitamin C treatments can expect to get started within one week of the consultation. Here are the steps you will take to begin treatment:

  1. Schedule a no cost consultation with our Licensed Provider.

  2. You will receive a link to digitally complete medical history documentation using your smartphone or computer.

  3. We will complete an analysis to determine if you are a candidate for IVC.

  4. If you are a candidate, we will develop a personalized care plan that we will review with you during the consultation.

  5. Prior to proceeding with the first treatment, a blood sample is collected to complete lab work. The results will help confirm planned treatment compatibility.

  6. We begin administering high dose vitamin C treatments.

FDA-approved Vitamin C Injection Product

Personalized Medicine uses the FDA-approved ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) injection product ASCOR® . FDA approval means that the strength, safety, effectiveness and quality of vitamin C are assured.

IV bars and Med spas tend to focus on people seeking “hangover cures” and energy boosts, they utilize non-FDA approved injection products that are made by a compounding lab. Compounding labs may also use preservatives, which can be dangerous at high doses.

*While ASCOR is FDA approved, vitamin C has yet to receive FDA approval as a cancer treatment. ASCOR is used in Clinical Trials to treat cancer by Johns Hopkins, Mayo Clinic, Cornell Medical College, and Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center.  

FAQ: High dose vitamin C cancer treatment experience

  • Duration of infusion can range from 1 to 3 hours depending on vitamin C dosage.

  • High dose vitamin C infusions are nothing like chemo. IVC has an excellent safety profile. Significant side effects are extremely rare, and pre-treatment lab tests are used to screen for patients that are incompatible. Many patients become thirsty during treatment, we provide water and other healthy beverages.

    While participating in IVC therapy, the majority of patients report a reduction of side effects they were feeling from chemo, radiotherapy, and the cancer itself. Many patients have improved appetite, more energy, better sleep, and a more positive disposition.

  • Our patients enjoy private rooms for their high dose vitamin C treatment. Each room has access to high speed internet, a fridge with healthy beverages, and nutritious snacks. Patients often relax reading a book, enjoy their favorite podcast, watch shows on their device, or catch up on some work.

  • Yes, each of our private infusion rooms can comfortably seat one to two guests. We will do our best to accommodate your support team.

  • Yes, we recommend eating nutritious food before the infusion to help ensure you are comfortable during the treatment.

  • Whatever makes you feel comfortable or productive during the treatment. Patients bring preferred snacks, lotions/creams, electronic devices, books, journals, games, craft materials, etc.

  • Considering the fluid intake from the treatment, this is completely natural. Our private rooms have call buttons to notify our care team that you need assistance. We also recommend relieving yourself prior to treatment to reduce the chance of needing to go during the infusion.

Please note: IVC is not FDA approved to treat cancer, treatments are considered an “off-label” use. Clinical trials are still underway to approve the use of IVC as a cancer treatment. The inability for pharmaceutical companies to patent vitamin C ensures any FDA approval as a cancer treatment will be a slow process.
