Intravenous ascorbic acid to prevent and treat cancer-associated sepsis?







Also interesting (I should probably post this in the Alt thread but this place feels safer)

intravenous, but not oral vitamin C, can achieve significant concentration in the blood in order to selectively kill tumor cells.

Thanks for posting this.  I will ask my onc about this as he did say sepsis can "get you" when you're not doing well at Stage IV.  And it moves fast.

A girlfriend with metastatic colon cancer was doing pretty well until she had a tooth abscess, went septic and died within 3 days.  Still pisses me off that this happened -- she never took enough care of her teeth.  But once an infection gets a grip it's hard to combat it with a crapped out immune system.
