IV-C treatment, or high-dose intravenous vitamin C, is an example of immunotherapy specifically suited for treating cancer diseases. In high concentrations, vitamin C is lethal to cancer cells because they cannot break down the accumulated hydrogen peroxide. Additionally, vitamin C strengthens immune response and has a general anti-inflammatory effect.

In 1972, author Irving Stone compiled hundreds of scientific references in his highly acclaimed book "The Healing Factor: Vitamin C against Disease." In the book, he demonstrated vitamin C's healing effect in numerous diseases, including cancer, when administered in large concentrations directly into the bloodstream.

When delivered intravenously, vitamin C gram for gram is 2.5 times stronger than orally taken supplements. This is because it bypasses the gastrointestinal tract, allowing for rapid achievement of blood concentrations that other mammals routinely experience during illness, which isn't achievable with oral vitamin C alone.

Vitamin C is a healing factor with numerous vital functions, strengthening the immune system both locally and throughout the body. It's important to supplement vitamin C levels significantly reduced during illness in any case.

Specifically, in sufficiently high blood concentrations, vitamin C acts as a cell killer on cancer cells in a manner resembling chemotherapy. This cell-killing effect is achieved through the formation of hydrogen peroxide in cancer cells when high-dose vitamin C is administered intravenously, either alone or as a supplement to chemotherapy.

IV-C is administered as a drip over approximately three hours. This method allows patients to achieve blood concentrations up to 70 times higher than those achievable through regular vitamin C supplements.

Bruce Phillip Kyle, founder of Aarhus Private Clinic, introduced high-dose intravenous vitamin C treatment in Denmark in 1990, initially for mercury poisoning and later for cancer treatment. Claus Hancke, founder of the IOM Clinic in Lyngby, has the same experience base as Bruce and advocates strongly for IV-C treatment for cancer patients.

The treatment harnesses the body's own formidable ability to heal itself using the impressive versatility of vitamin C in clinical medicine. Clinical studies have demonstrated vitamin C's cell-killing effect on cancer cells both "in vitro" and "in vivo." In practice, these effects can only be achieved with intravenous infusions, dependent on achieving sufficiently high blood concentrations of vitamin C.

IV-C can therefore rightly be termed a natural form of chemotherapy. There is substantial research evidence that the cytotoxic effect of chemotherapy and radiotherapy is significantly enhanced when combined with IV-C treatment.

High-dose vitamin C stimulates the production of new lymphocytes in bone marrow and interferon production in T-lymphocytes. The immune cell's infiltration ability, encapsulation of tumor processes, inhibition of foreign cell proliferation, and neutralization of free radicals are initiated.

Recent studies have shown increased activation of natural killer (NK) cells, with the greatest effect occurring 24-48 hours after intake. Activation of killer cells is a crucial goal in immunotherapy because these cells are responsible for destroying cancer cells and viruses.

With intravenous vitamin C infusions, it is possible to effectively treat severe hospital infections, chronic virus infections (herpes, mononucleosis, hepatitis), and autoimmune diseases with intense inflammatory reactions. The individual dosage depends on the severity of the disease.

Vitamin C's anti-inflammatory effect results from several processes: (1) direct antimicrobial action against viruses, bacteria, and fungi; (2) halting of free radical reactions in the inflammation process; (3) reduction of inflammation-promoting signals from PGE2; and (4) increase in anti-inflammatory signals from PGE1.

During an IV-C course, most patients typically experience increased strength, more energy, less pain, and increased appetite. This improvement in overall well-being should be seen in relation to vitamin C's pronounced detoxifying effect.

For example, cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy commonly feel unwell due, in part, to toxic breakdown products left by dead cancer cells. There is solid evidence that the toxic side effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy are significantly reduced with IV-C treatment. Additionally, there is extensive literature on vitamin C's detoxifying effect against a wide range of chemical toxins.

As an antioxidant, vitamin C counters the large quantities of destructive free radicals constantly bombarding the body from the environment (smoke, radiation, chemicals) and the body's own processes (inflammation, energy metabolism, detoxification). Free radicals are highly reactive oxygen compounds that can pierce through cell membranes and DNA. Even our own immune cells use free radicals' "irradiation" to destroy cancer cells and viruses.

During chemotherapy and radiotherapy, the cytotoxic effect is mediated through free radicals. Antioxidants like vitamin C block free radicals and protect DNA from mutation damage. For normal cells, antioxidants act as a shield, enabling them to better survive the fight against cancer cells.

For cancer cells, antioxidants are ineffective due to their abnormal metabolic state.
