Vitamin C and Improvement in the Number of Cells
Clinical Study Title:

acid-menadione in patients with prostate cancer.

English Summary: |
|
Previous research has shown
that vitamin C is able to kill off cancerous cells
in the prostate by autoschizis. This same thing has
been seen in animal studies, where the mice have been
exposed to malignant prostate cells. This study looked
at the correlation of prostate cancer cells to homocysteine
levels. Administration of vitamin C in the early stages
of this study showed a marked improvement in the number
of cells, suggesting that the vitamin C was able to
kill off cancer cells in these patients as well. This
suggests that early administration of vitamin C can
help to treat prostate cancer, and help to kill off
the malignant cells in the body. |
