Vitamin C May Fight Cancer

According to a new study on mice vitamin C may be able to help treat cancer. Some doctors are worried though as they believe that some of their patients may take vitamin c, without telling them, which could result in an interference with their current medication, countering their effects. Sort of like if you install two antivirus software  sometimes they will fight and try to delete each other. The researchers injected the mice, which had a deficient immune system with three different types of aggressive human cancer cells, and then injected them with vitamin C  and found that the effect of this was a 53 percent decrease in cancer growth. But this is only in mice, the researchers are hoping to be able to repeat these trials on humans Even though they don't believe that it will reduce the cancer by half, as it did in mice, they are still optimistic that it will help. It is also much easier to get the vitamin C  directly to the tumor through the bloodstream by injecting it, than in tablet form. This isn't a new idea though, as it was suggested by the Nobel prize winner, Linus Pauling, a chemist, in 1970 who said that vitamin C may slow down cancer growth
