Vitamins have no effect on established cancer, with the possible exception
of high dose intravenous vitamin C.
A number of studies have been done using oral megavitamin therapy showing no
effect, and it is also very rare to find a testimonial where vitamins were
the only treatment.

Not at all. Metastatic testicular cancer has quite a good prognosis with
modern chemotherapy.

I refer to Cameron's work at the Vale of Leven Hospital which suggested that
high dose IV vitamin C was having an effect on some cancers. Most of his
patients died and/or showed no effect, so that the results were not very
spectacula.. Neverthless Cameron had the background training and
experience for his observations to be taken seriously and he had a few
fairly impressive cases. A trial was done comparing his treatment to
normal care in advanced cancer which was purported to show some benefit, but
it was not properly controlled.
When the several Mayo clinic studies using high dose oral vitamin C showed
no effect, everyone probably shelved Vitamin C as a treatment. It is now
known that there are barriers to the absoprtion of Vitamin C orally in doses
over a gram, and the bodies tissues are saturated with vitamin C at daily
doses less than a gram (some alt.med authorities including Andrew Weil have
reduced their Vitamin recommendations accordingly). Much higher blood
concentrations are possible with intravenous use, so it remains possible
that the odd cancer will be affected by it. Cameron believed that he was
observing cancer necrosis in the patients who died, suggesting a direct
toxic effect of vitmain C on the cancers.
You could add this to Coley's toxins (properly used) as a once tried but
abandoned conventional treatment that may yet have benefits for the
occasional cancer patient.

Interesting stuff.
Are you saying that if I dissolve 4g of ascorbate into a juice and drink it
then the ascorbate won't get into the blood stream?
Also stressed animals manufacture more vitamin c than non stressed, and
there's no tests that I know of that show ascorbate absorption in stressed
humans..

Why should it? You don't have an unlimited ability to absorb any

Excuse me, if i don't believe you, you seemed to have tried so many things.
Dr. Passwater's discoveries have led to world-wide recognition. He has been
twice honored by the Committee For World Health (1978 and 1980). In 1973, he
was nominated for the American Chemical Society’s Award in Chemical
Education.
Your attempt to belittle this is very telling.

So looking at Dr. Passwater's bio.
He got a bachelor's degree in Chemistry from the U of Delaware in 1959,
then got a Ph,d from a mail order correspondence school called Borolean
University in Nevada in 1975. Apparently this "university" couldn't get
accredited by the State of Nevada, as it moved to California, where it
still can't get accredited. It also maintains a "sister" correspondence
law school, which according to the State Bar of California, also is
unaccredited. I have no idea of the standing of its correspondence
"divinity school".
