Oral Vitamin C with Bioflavinoids

A method of utilising vitamin C in amounts just short of the doses which produce diarrhea is described as titrating to bowel tollerance. When bowel tolerance is reached it means your body has now absorbed the maximum amount of vitamin C it is able to.

Multiple high dose oral vitamin C supplements in the 2- to 3-gram range given four to six times per day can maintain high blood plasma throughout a 24-hour period.

Liposomal Vitamin C

Studies suggest that oral bioavailability of vitamin C can be increased when consumed in liposomal form. You may take a combination of Oral Vitamin C and Oral Liposomal Vitamin C to help boost plasma levels.

Intravenous vitamin C (IV C)

IV C bypasses intestinal absorption and the associated saturable transport mechanisms. Consequently, the bio availability of vitamin C differs appreciably between oral and intravenous administration. In healthy adults, intravenous administration of vitamin C might reach blood concentrations that are 30 to 70 times higher than the same oral dose.

Intravenous protocols are generally individualised and reassessed/modified as treatment progresses and depending on the response of the individual. IV C is given daily for 2 weeks, then 2-3 times per week after that.

Dosages start at 15,000mg (15g), if well tollerated, dosages are typically increased by 15,000mg each time until a dose of 45,000mg – 90,000mg. At these high doses it is important that the IV is run over a long period of time at least 2hrs.

IV C is best used in conjunction with Intravenous alpha lipoic acid (ALA), but needs to be administered by a professional with the correct training to avoid complications.

You must be well hydrated before your IV. Possible side effects include headache if dehydrated, & minimal discomfort at the injection site on 1st occasion.

IMPORTANT: Before starting IV C, you should complete a G6PD blood test

Essential fatty acids (EFA’s) must be obtained via the diet, and cannot be made by the body. EFA’s are split into 2 primary categories.  Omega-3 and Omega 6. In reality, there is only one essential omega-3 fatty acid called alpha-linoolenic acid (ALA), and one essential omega-6 fatty acid called linoleic acid (LA).

The body is able to manufacture omega-3 EFA’s such as EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexanoic acid) as well as omega-6s which include GLA (gamma-linolenic acid from these basic building blocks.

For therapeutic purposes eating cold water fish or supplementing with fish oil capsules is the best bet.

Greet tea is another great example of a natural substance with a very wide variety of anticancer properties. An active ingredient in green tea EGCG ( epigallocatechin gallate), has been proven to be effective in preventing and helping to treat some forms cancer.

• EGCG inhibits the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), which is a well recognised and established target for anticancer drugs
• EGCG can kill cancer cells in the same way as methotrexate
• Can kill cancer cells by stimulating apoptosis
• EGCG inhibits the enymes that break down the connective tissue matrix. These enzymes can eat a pathway through connective tissue, which can allow cancer to metastasize to other parts of the body.

• Ribraxx has been previously shown to enhance NK cell–mediated cytotoxicity
• Increase neutrophil count
• Decrease inflammation as determined by ESR
