Original Note:
While high-dose vitamin C shows some promise, claims that it can “annihilate cancer” are premature and not true. OP article is old (2014). https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/cancer/expert-answers/alternative-cancer-treatment/faq-20057968 https://science.feedback.org/review/little-clinical-evidence-supports-use-high-dose-intravenous-vitamin-c-to-treat-cancer/ Large, well-controlled clinical trials demonstrating clear anti-cancer efficacy are still lacking. https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/treatment/cam/patient/vitamin-c-pdq https://news.cancerresearchuk.org/2018/04/25/vitamin-c-as-a-treatment-for-cancer-the-evidence-so-far/ MEDIA BIAS: https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/npr-news-natural-news/ https://www.naturalnews.com/043972_vitamin_C_cancer_treatment_intravenous_injections.html
