Pauling Wasn't Wrong About Vitamin C | Science News

from Science News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Linus Pauling’s vitamin C cancer theory was half-right—high-dose IV vitamin C may selectively target cancer cells by exploiting their stress and disrupting DNA and energy systems, while normal cells mostly survive. Early trials show promise in improving quality of life and possibly extending survival, but it’s not a cure and requires medical supervision. Research also hints at roles in tumor biology and immune response, though large-scale proof is still needed. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
