Guest guest Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 Leonard, here is the quote. They are talking about intravenous vit C, of course. read more at dragonfly75.com/eng/vitC.html They said that only if you also added lipoic acid to the solution would it be worthwhile for killing cancer cells. The " SW620 HFST " that they mention is a type of cancer. " Sodium ascorbate increases the percentage of apoptotic [natural death] and necrotic [induced death] tumor cells in SW620 HFST, though the concentrations necessary for significant cell killing may not be clinically feasible. Second, lipoic acid enhances the anti-tumor efficacy of ascorbate to the point where significant tumour cell killing can occur at concentrations achievable by intravenous infusion. One key in assessing the value of ascorbate anti-cancer agent is to compare the concentrations required for tumour cell killing with those that can be safely achieved in the clinic. In the case of ascorbate, we found that intravenous infusions of 30 to 60 grams could provide plasma ascorbate exposures that would be effective against SW620 HFST if lipoic acid were also present.
