According to Riordan and colleagues, in a 2000 article published in the Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine, high dose vitamin C may contain the properties of chemotherapeutic agents. Unlike other chemotherapy agents vitamin C does not produce negative side effects, in fact instead of negative side effect vitamin C has beneficial side effects, namely increased collagen production, and enhanced immune function.

Early studies revealed that vitamin C has preferential toxic effects on tumor cells that is, they typically kill tumor cells before killing normal cells. In earlier studies it was found that the toxic effect of vitamin C was reduced when interacting with serum, and that higher concentrations of vitamin C was necessary to maintain it’s cytotoxic (ability to kill cells) effect.

Riordan and colleagues outline a number of cases in which high dose vitamin C given intravenously at set intervals, over a number of months, was effective in reducing tumor growths in patients with renal cell carcinoma, stage IV colorectal cancer, cancer of the pancreas, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and end-stage metastatic breast cance
