This is from a Dr. in Dallas Texas area that just learned the following on Vitmamin C and is doing the injection therapy for a friend of mine.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

I had the opportunity to attend the spring American College for Advancement in Medicine (ACAM) conference held here in Dallas last week. Some new information was presented on the topics of Lyme Disease, cancer, vitamin C, and chronic prostatitis among others. I found the information regarding Vitamin C and cancer as well as the chronic prostatitis the most clinically applicable for our practice. The vitamin C and cancer research was presented by Mark Levine, 0.D., Harvard University Medical School graduate who did his internal medicine residency and endocrinology fellowship at Johns Hopkins Hospital. He now is section chief of Molecular and Clinical Nutrition at the National Institute of Health (NIH). Highlights from his lecture include the following: 1) When taken orally the maximum amount of vitamin C the body can absorb is between 200 and 250 mg per day. Excess amounts are excreted in the urine. You may hear me at times recommend up to 4000 mg per day. This will primarily for people who are constipated and want something natural to treat their constipation with. 2) Obviously when Vitamin C is given i.v., you achieve 100% absorption / bioavailability. Daily the concentrations that can be achieved via the i.v. route are useful in killing cancer. 3) Dr. Levine research initially tested vitamin C against various types of cancers in the laboratory. Kidney and Breast Cancer cells were killed rather easily. The results were not as promising with colon cancer. 4) Cancer cells and normal cells die by a process called apoptosis or "programmed cell death". The vitamin C worked so good against the kidney and Breast Cancer cells that they died by pyknosis; they just shriveled up, sort of like a grape that has all the fluid sucked out of it forms a raisin. 5) A study testing vitamin C against lymphoma cancer cells showed that as the extra cellular concentration of vitamin C was increased, more and more cancer cells died. Importantly, none of the 4 types of healthy normal cells were affected in the study, even at concentrations of 20 millimoles. 6) Similarly, cancer cells were killed when the study was repeated using between 10 and 250 micromolar concentrations of H2o2. 7) A case of a lady with B cell lymphoma was presented. The pathologist looked at her slides and determined the cell type to be very fast growing and predicted the patient would live one year or less. The patient chose not to do standard chemotherapy, opting instead for 10g of i.v. vitamin C weekly. She is alive and well to this date, 11 years later! Lastly, as you may know we offer i.v. vitamin C as well as others in our office. The utility of Vitamin C is against cancer, other i.v.'s are used in the cancer setting, as well as for atherosclerosis "clogged arteries", and Candida overgrowth. This over growth is caused from Antibiotics , steroids, birth control pills, eating sugar, etc. I hope that you enjoyed this article, I will bring some new information to the table in the near future.

Good Question !!

I was wondering if plain [no calcium, etc.] powdered Vit C can be mixed with water [distiled?] and injected?

ie - Is it soluable enough?
