  1. The reason Lance Armstrong got better?

    Did you use any alternative treatments?

    If they didn't stop him getting cancer, why would continuing to take them
    help?

    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.

  13. 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..

    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.

    Of course, we all know you push Ritalin.

    Drug um up should be your sig line.

    Who can't back up their claims?

    No. They first did the study, examined what they found, and used the


    facts

    Do prove it.

    Back to that weasel again. They were published scientific studies, conducted
    by the method I described.

    No, I am telling the truth. You just cannot handle it.

    It is noted you snipped the websites.

    Always. Count on it.

    Sadly you don't want to show what works.

    Wrong. I do not want to publicize bad and evil advice.

    Too much truth for ya?? Shows Peter was WRONG??

    No. Shows you do not have a clue.

    Sorry, insults don't work, they just show your character.

    I was describing on your lack of insight and knowledge. It is not my fault
    that you feel insulted, since it is your lack of knowledge and insight that
    show you do not have a clue.

    BTW, I have been following Passwater for over a decade, ever since he
    claimed, incorrectly, that pycnogenol was a treatment for ADHD and I
    subjected my son to its uselessness.

    Excuse me, if i don't believe you, you seemed to have tried so many


    things.

    I have?

    Please list, with cites, all of the alternatives I have ever tried? I'll
    give you a hint...the list is short and does not include pycnogenol.

    Dr. Passwater's discoveries have led to world-wide recognition. He has


    been

    Education.

    Sounds so EOM to me. He was wrong on pycnogenol. No one, not even me (I knw
    it is hard to beleive) is perfect.

    Quoted message said:

    Your attempt to belittle this is very telling.

    I made no belittling remark wrt Passwater.

    Quoted message said:

    Of course, we all know you push Ritalin.

    Yes, a safe and effective treatment for a real disorder.

    Quoted message said:

    Drug um up should be your sig line.

    Nope. "Treat them properly" is.

  19. 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".

    Unaccredited schools of divinity can be a dangerous place, especially if He
    gets upset with their antics. If you live near one, let me suggest:
