Anti-cancer effect of pharmacologic ascorbate (AA) and its interaction with supplementary parenteral glutathione (GSH) in preclinical cancer models

Findings:

1. The results showed that pharmacologic AA (vitamin C) induced cytotoxicity in all tested cancer cells,
2. Although all treatments (AA (vitamin C), GSH, and AA (vitamin C) + GSH) improved survival rate, AA + GSH inhibited the cytotoxic effect of AA alone and failed to provide further survival benefit.
3. There is an antagonism between ascorbate (vitamin c) and glutathione (GSH) in treating cancer, and therefore iv AA and iv GSH should not be coadministered to cancer patients on the same day.

No Deaths from Vitamins - None at All in 27 Years Orthomolecular News Service

Vitamin C and Vitamin K3 alone or in combination induces cancer cell death in leukemia cells

Cell death was more prominent when Jurkat and K562 cells are exposed to VC and VK3 in a ratio 1000:1 (10 mM: 10 microM) or 100:1 (300 microM: 3 microM), respectively.

Conclusion: We provide for the first time in vitro evidence supporting a causative role for oxidative stress in VK3- and VC-induced apoptosis in Jurkat and K562 cells in a domino-like mechanism. Altogether these data suggest that VK3 and VC should be useful in the treatment of leukemia.

Molecular crystal device for pharmaceuticals

Abstract

A novel molecular scale device is described which is bactericidal, 
fungicidal, viricidal and algicidal. The anti-pathogenic properties 
of the device are attributed to electron activity indigenous to 
diamagnetic semiconducting crystals of tetrasilver tetroxide (Ag.sub.4 
O.sub.4) which contains two monovalent and two trivalent silver ions 
in each molecular crystal. When the crystals are activated with an 
oxidizing agent, they release electrons equivalent to 6.4.times.10.
sup.-19 watts per molecule which in effect electrocute pathogens. 
A multitude of these devices are effective at such low concentrations 
as 0.3 PPM used as preservatives in a variety of formulations ranging 
from cosmetics to pharmaceuticals. Indeed, they are intended as active 
ingredients for pharmaceuticals formulated to destroy such pathogens 
as Staphylococcus aureus, and epidermidis, the latter of which it 
completely destroys in a nutrient broth culture of about 1 million 
organisms at 0.6 PPM, or Candida albercans, the vaginal yeast infection 
at 2.5 PPM, and the AIDS virus at 18 PPM.

Researchers Stop Diabetes Damage with High Doses of Vitamin C

Researchers at the Harold Hamm Oklahoma Diabetes Center have found a way to stop the damage caused by Type 1 diabetes with the combination of insulin and a common vitamin found in most medicine cabinets.

While neither therapy produced desired results when used alone, the combination of insulin to control blood sugar together with the use of Vitamin C, stopped blood vessel damage caused by the disease in patients with poor glucose control. "We had tested this theory on research models, but this is the first time anyone has shown the therapy's effectiveness in people," said Michael Ihnat, Ph.D., principal investigator and a pharmacologist at the OU College of Medicine Department of Cell Biology.

The effectiveness of vitamin C in preventing and relieving the symptoms of virus-induced respiratory infections.

RESULTS: Overall, reported flu and cold symptoms in the test group decreased 85% compared with the control group after the administration of megadose Vitamin C. CONCLUSION: Vitamin C in megadoses administered before or after the appearance of cold and flu symptoms relieved and prevented the symptoms in the test population compared with the control group.

Pharmacokinetics of vitamin C: insights into the oral and intravenous administration of ascorbate.

There is a strong advocacy movement for large doses of vitamin C. Some authors argue that the biological half-life for vitamin C at high plasma levels is about 30 minutes, but these reports are the subject of some controversy. NIH researchers established the current RDA based upon tests conducted 12 hours (24 half lives) after consumption. The dynamic flow model refutes the current low-dose recommendations for dietary intakes and links Pauling's mega-dose suggestions with other reported effects of massive doses of ascorbate for the treatment of disease.

Vitamin C Helps Prevent Gout

Recently, study was published that assessed the relationship between vitamin C intake and risk of gout in almost 47,000 men. All the men had no history of gout when they entered the study. Their intakes of vitamin C (via diet and supplements) were assessed every 4 years over a 20-year period.

Risk of gout was found to be lower in individuals with higher vitamin C intake. Compared to individuals with a total vitamin C intake of less than 250 mg per day, those with total intakes of 500 - 999 mg per day had a 17 percent reduced risk of gout. For intakes of 1,000 - 1,499 mg and 1,500 mg or more per day, the risk of getting gout was down by 34 and 45 percent, respectively.

The authors of this study also looked at the relationship between amounts of vitamin C ingested in supplement form only and risk of gout. Here again, higher supplemental levels were associated with a reduced risk of gout. Compared to those who did not supplement with vitamin C, those supplementing with 1,000 - 1,499 mg and 1,500 mg or more of vitamin C per day were found to be at 34 and 45 percent reduced risk of gout, respectively.

These results suggest that vitamin C, either from diet or supplements, is associated with a reduced risk of gout.

No Deaths From Vitamins or Minerals

(OMNS, October 14, 2009) There was not even one death caused by a vitamin or dietary mineral in 2007, according to the most recent statistics available from the U.S. National Poison Data System. The 132-page annual report of the American Association of Poison Control Centers published in the journal Clinical Toxicology shows zero deaths from multiple vitamins; zero deaths from any of the B vitamins; zero deaths from vitamins A, C, D, or E; and zero deaths from any other vitamin. (1)

Furthermore, there were zero deaths in 2007 from any dietary mineral supplement. This means there were no fatalities from calcium, chromium, zinc, colloidal silver, selenium, iron, or multimineral supplements. There was one death from chronic overdose of magnesium hydroxide, commonly known as the laxative/antacid milk of magnesia, and it was inappropriately listed in the "dietary supplement" reporting category. Nutritional supplements do not contain magnesium hydroxide.

Over half of the U.S. population takes daily nutritional supplements. Even if each of those people took only one single tablet daily, that makes 154,000,000 individual doses per day, for a total of over 56 billion doses annually. Since many persons take more than just one vitamin or mineral tablet, the numbers are considerably higher, and the safety of nutritional supplements is all the more remarkable

The Vitamin A and Vitamin D Controversy

The Cod Liver Oil Debate (from Weston-Price) Vitamin A is not a Vitamin D Antagonist.

Contrary to information from the Vitamin D Council, and most recently, from the Life Extension Foundation," Vitamins A and D cooperate with one another. They are not antagonists, but large doses of one may cause harm when not accompanied by the other."

Since vitamin A is required as a signaling partner with vitamin D, vitamin D will increase the turnover of vitamin A. If vitamin A is provided in excess, the results are generally beneficial. Excess vitamin A is stored in the liver. However, when the liver's storage capacity is exceeded, the overload of vitamin A causes the cells to burst, damaging the liver and releasing storage forms of vitamin A into the systemic circulation that do not belong there. By increasing the utilization of vitamin A, vitamin D can help prevent vitamin A toxicity.

If vitamin A is in short supply, on the other hand, the results can be detrimental. By .stealing. all of the vitamin A needed to use for vitamin Dspecific functions, the body will not have enough vitamin A left to support the many other functions for which it is needed.this may partially explain the toxic effects of excess vitamin D.
