High Dose IV Vitamin C
Linus Pauling and Ewan Cameron were the pioneers in High Dose IV Vitamin C in treating cancer.
At least Linus Pauling won the Nobel prize which makes us happy.
High doses of IV Vitamin C creates Hydrogen Peroxide which is a type of Reactive Oxygen Species(ROS).
When levels of ROS gets high, they cause oxidative stress and damage to cells.
Remember ROS as an oxidant.
Healthy cells have stronger antioxidant systems and can detoxify hydrogen peroxide or ROS in general and hence why high doses of vitamin C does not generally harm healthy cells as much as cancer cells.
Cancer cells on the other hand have higher ROS levels to begin with.
The high dose iv vitamin C creates ROS outside the cells and as we said healthy cells have great antioxidant properties to protect itself against this ROS.
Chemo and Radiation create ROS inside the cells and since it’s inside the cells, healthy cells are harmed as well.
Although healthy cells in general create ROS, cancer cells have a higher level of ROS so when the extra increase of ROS comes from either IV Vitamin C or Chemo or Radiation, this puts them over the edge and kills them. Higher ROS levels can trigger apoptosis(programmed cell death) and necrosis in cancer cells.
Chemo and Radiation are notorious for causing ROS but at much much higher levels.
For Vitamin C to create hydrogen peroxide and create ROS, the serum levels of Vitamin C must be between 350 – 400 mg/dL.
It needs to be given 2-4 times a week and 1-2 days apart from each treatment so that cancer does not become resistant.
Before starting this treatment, a G6PD deficiency test must be done.
Only if you are negative then can you get this treatment.
Everyone is different in what dose might get to the therapeutic cancer killing range of 350 – 400 mg/dL.
It might be 50 g for someone and it might be 75 g for you.
If you haven’t read Jane’s protocol then we highly suggest you do read it first as we have explained antioxidants during kill phase but we’ll explain it here as well.
Since High dose vitamin C is a killing agent through the creation of ROS and ROS is an oxidant then we must make sure not to take any antioxidants 10 hours prior and 10 hours after this treatment so the ROS is not cancelled out.
Oxidant and Antioxidant are opposites of each other. Antioxidants will neutralize Oxidants.
However as explained in Jane’s protocol page, not all antioxidants will behave like antioxidants. In the presence of cancer, most antioxidants will become an oxidant in killing cancer.
The only antioxidants we recommend to stay clear away from are Vitamins like Vitamin E, oral Vitamin C tablets, Glutathione, Selenium.
Some clinics implement 50 g to every cancer patient which is wrong because every one is different in that someone might reach the therapeutic range at 100 g and someone might reach the level at 50 g, the only way to know is to measure the serum Vitamin C levels.
This serum Vitamin C must be checked within 1 hour after the infusion.
The only added ingredient in the Vitamin C solution should be Magnesium. Make sure there’s no cocktail of other ingredients like Vitamins in it as the whole point of this injection is to treat cancer and not rejuvenation therapy.
The current leader in research in High Dose IV Vitamin C is Riordan Clinic.

The Vitamin C that is administered is in Sodium Ascorbate IV form.
Here are questions you can ask a clinic or a Doctor offering this treatment.
1. Do you follow the Riordan Clinic Vitamin C protocol?
2. Do you test the Vitamin C blood plasma levels? What is the range or figure you’re aiming for?
Answer: 350 – 400 mg/dL – is the cancer killing range.
3. What is inside the solution other then Vitamin C? Riordan Clinic includes Magnesium
It is said that the antibiotic Doxycycline indirectly induces Ferroptosis and because of this when combine with High Dose IV Vitamin C, it has a more potent therapeutic effect. There was a discussion in Jane’s group regarding this subject and some people have had good success in combining Doxycycline during the IV Vitamin C and some people do it 10 hours after.
