My vet diag 12-year-old 6 lb female Maltese has been diagnosed with a bladder tumor, and a biopsy is being scheduled for next week at my primary vet clinic. I am trying to locate a vet who is familiar with IV vitamin C therapy for canine cancer. Is this something your clinic is familiar with? Thank you very much for your help.
My Experience with the IV Vitamin C Dog Cancer Treatment
Vitamin C Cancer Therapy is debatable.
We know, and it has been well documented, that high dose IV Vitamin C does kill cancer cells in laboratory animals. (Intravenous Vitamin C is the only method proven to do this, oral Vitamin C has not yet proven to be a successful treatment for cancer.)
Also, we know that intravenous use of high-dose Vitamin C has little chance for toxicity. What we don’t know is what tumors actually respond best to Vitamin C therapy.
My personal experience with IV Vitamin C is very limited.
I have done extensive research on the different protocols and I am familiar with all of the various protocols.
As with any cancer treatment, all of the factors such as early diagnosis, cancer cell type, and owner’s willingness to adhere to the treatment protocol all determine the success and failure of the treatment.
The History Behind Vitamin C IV Treatment
In the 1970s, Dr. Linus Pauling, the only person to ever be awarded two unshared Nobel Prizes, heavily researched vitamin C.
His main interest was the potential use of Vitamin C as a cancer treatment.
Since then, researchers inspired by Dr. Pauling’s theories published clinical trials of high-dose intravenous vitamin C in advanced human cancer.
The researchers observed patients had longer than expected longevity when compared to case controls, and when compared to expected norms for their disease.
Research shows vitamin C is a highly effective immune booster, and we continue working to help pets with cancer and other chronic health challenges.
Recommended Vitamin C IV Protocol
I think the best way to approach this concerning bladder cancer is the following:
- Use the IV Vitamin C infusion once per week for 8 weeks.
- Follow the oral bloodroot protocol.
- Consider surgery, depending on where the tumor is located.
For example, if the tumor is in the apex of the bladder, I would cut it out.
However, if the tumor is in the trigone area, then surgery is not an option.
Therefore, you may have to resort to urethral and/or ureteral stints.
