Topical vitamin c does kill basal cell carcinomas. It doesn't matter what cation you have coupled with the ascorbate, it is the ascorbate that does the killing. I have used ascorbic acid, sodium ascorbate, C-salts, and buffered C from Life Extension Foundation. They all are effective.
The solution is saturated which means no more of the vitamin c will dissolve in the solution. The saturated solution will contain about 500mg vitamin c/ml. The amount of vitamin c in the blood after IV infusion of 15 grams of vitamin c in about 1.2mg/ml. A 60 gram infusion will produce a blood level of 3.0mg/ml. Tumors begin to die when levels of about 2.0mg/ml are reached.
So we see that blood concentrations of 2+mg/ml vitamin c are tumorcidal, and we are applying a solution of 500mg/ml directly in contact with the tumor cell surface. This solution is 250X stronger than the concentration required in blood to be tumorcidal. Apparently enough gets absorbed through the surface to kill the tumor.
Vitamin C is thought to act as a prooxidant inside the cell in high concentration, and some hydrogen peroxide is formed which is rapidly disposed of by catalase in a normal cell. Since cancer cells have a deficiency or lack entirely of catalase the peroxides kill the cell. I have never had a normal skin cell die from topical vitamin c so they must have plenty of catalase unlike their neighboring cancer cells. Too bad.
The implications of this are that high oral doses daily of vitamin c should be preventative of the formation of oral, esophageal, stomach, and small bowel cancers. The high concentrations of vitamin c contacting the surfaces of these organs daily will make a very hostile environment for a cancer to develop. The colon may not be as well protected unless you like spending most of your day on the toilet.
If you do get a colon cancer, vitamin c enemas would not be a bad idea to add to other effective alternative treatment. A colon cancer bathed daily in vitamin c and receiving high blood levels from IVC wouldn't stand a chance. Cancer cells have many glucose receptor sites since this is the only food they will eat. Too bad that ascorbate uses the same pathway to get in the cell.
We can even make it worse on the poor cancer by lowering blood glucose with insulin (IPT), and raising blood ascorbate with IVC. All the cell doors will be open (IPT) and there will be nothing but ascorbate in the blood to go in! The tumor will probably explode from all the intracellular oxygen formed--cancers don't like oxygen either.
This is real expensive therapy (sic). The IVC for 25 grams cost about $20 for all the materials. Add about $2 for the enema ascorbate assuming you own your own emema bag and the water's free. You don't need insurance for this. In fact alternative care in the only safe and effective way to go for all but trauma and you don't need insurance for any alternative care, most won't pay for it anyway.
One problem here. If your cell walls are made of Crisco, and margarine you probably have type II diabetes and those cells won't let either glucose or ascorbate in. You'll have to forgo your partially hydrogenated and trans fat diet and chow down on omega 3's for a few months and then your diabetes will be cured and you can proceed to kill your cancer."
