I would think that our previous diets and their vit c content (recent and historic) would affect how we respond to it...but thats just a guess. Kinda like the lactose thing....

I kind of doubt it in this case since it is supraphysiological doses required.

Awesome, thank you Chris.

Could I kindly just ask for what protocol you would consider if you were combating cancer? E.g IV vit v 1g per kg of bodyweight, twice a week?

Just for discussion purposes and not advice - but your opinion on this would be really, really appreciated!

I’d start by copying the Pauling protocol, but best would be reach a steady state of 5000 mmol/l and measure against best markers of the particular cancer to verify progress.

I will ask my Dr to help assess the steady state concentration. How would you best measure it?

Plasma vitamin C.

What would you say are the dosing cut offs for pro vs anti oxidant effects of Vitamin C? 1000mg IV vs 10000mg IV, I have read and been told 25,000mg are where the pro oxidant effects really present.
