Dr. Ivan Rusilko is a strong believer in the power of intravenous vitamin therapy. The Miami Beach physician (who's also a former model, two-time Mr. USA, and erotic-fiction novelist) custom-mixes IV concoctions he says can boost energy levels, improve sex lives, and strengthen immune systems.In fact, Rusilko — profiled in this week's New Times feature about Miami's IV vitamin craze — says if he were ever diagnosed with cancer, he would skip chemotherapy in favor of intravenous vitamin C. That's a bold claim. But is there any scientific evidence to back up the idea?The short answer is evidence suggests vitamin C might help in some cancer treatments, but it's too early to believe it could be a cure-all. High-dose vitamin C has been studied as a cancer treatment since the 1970s, when Nobel Prize-winning chemist Linus Pauling advocated it. Several initial studies showed favorable results, but later trials by the Mayo Clinic failed to confirm any benefits. After that, vitamin C as a cancer treatment moved to the realm of alternative therapy.
But those studies tested vitamin C taken orally. Some IV proponents argue that vitamin C administered intravenously yields stronger benefits — and in recent years, several studies have shown promising results, renewing interest in the treatment. One study found intravenous vitamin C boosted the effectiveness of chemotherapy in mice and mitigated side effects in humans, according to the Los Angeles Times.The Times reported that despite the study's findings, vitamin C "is unlikely to inspire the vigorous, and expensive, research necessary to become an approved tumor remedy" because of past discredited health claims and the inability of pharmaceutical companies to patent it. Laboratory studies have shown high doses of vitamin C might slow the growth and spread of certain types of cancer cells, the National Cancer Institute says. And some laboratory and animal studies have shown vitamin C plus anticancer therapies could be helpful. Florida Panthers v Chicago Blackhawks Florida Panthers v Montreal Canadiens

And IV vitamin C is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration as a treatment for cancer or any other medical condition. Other studies are underway. Writes Dr. Timothy J. Moynihan, an oncologist: "Until clinical trials are completed, it's premature to determine what role, if any, intravenous vitamin C may play in the treatment of cancer." /high-dose-vitamin-c-protocol-for-cancer/ on this server. Your technical support key is: af29-b8ee-1756-6707Cancer is defined by cell cycle deregulation and uncontrolled growth. It is the second leading cause of death in the world. In the United States alone there were 1,658,370 new cancer cases diagnosed and 589,430 cancer deaths and an estimated 750,000 deaths in Europe. We are fighting a losing battle. But we now have a new hope the combination of intravenous Vitamin C and K3 in 100:1 ratio.
This specific combination has been causing of form of cell necrosis called autoschizis…it is KILLING cancer. Researchers started playing around with a combination of vitamin C and Vitamin K3 and watched what it did to cancer cells…it killed them. Before we can get into how the specific combination of Vitamin CK3 kills the cancer, we must first get a better understanding of cancer cells. From a biochemical point of view, cancer cells have some remarkable features: The inhibition of both alkaline DNase and acid DNase has been reported in non-necrotic cancer cells at early stages of experimental carcinogenesis. On the other hand, the reactivation of these enzymes has also been seenin the early stages of spontaneous and/or induced tumor cell death. Therefore, the use of compounds able to activate such endonucleases opens the possibility of a new therapeutic approach for cancer treatment…Vitamins C and K3 reactivate acid and alkaline DNases! The big question is can that combination work with cancer?
It is well known that vitamin C is cytotoxic against malignant melanoma cells, human leukaemia cells, neuroblastoma cells, tumour ascites cells, acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, and epidermoid carcinoma. It is also well know that vitamin K3 is cytotoxic against tumors of breast, stomach, lung, colon, nasopharyngeal, cervix, liver, leukaemia, and lymphoma cell lines. Researchers combined vitamins C and K3 at ratio of 100:1 after in vivo administration in tumor-bearing mice produced and found the following: Additionally examinations of CK3-treated mice did not indicate any sign of toxicity in normal organ and tissues. But How Does The CK3 Kill The Cancer Cells? Both morphological examination and flow cytometry analysis allow us to see whether cells are dying by necrosis (triggered cell death) or apoptosis (normal cell death). This is important because we need to know if the cancer cells are dying because they are being “triggered” to or if it’s just part of their normal cell cycle.
On the basis of these parameters, cancer cells treated by CK3 die principally by cell necrosis, but interestingly enough share some characteristics of both necrosis and apoptosis What appears to be happening is that the introduction of CK3 to cancer cells, forms cuts or schisms in the cell membrane, which allows the cytoplasm to leak out. The researchers called this autoschizis The cell shrinks in size until about only 1/3 its original size and only the nucleus and organelles remain surrounded by a tiny ribbon of cytoplasm. If apoptosis is a quiet cell suicide in which the cell curls up and dies, autoschizis (necrosis) is a bit more violent; the cell slashes itself open violently spilling out its insides. Studies have looked at autoschizis in experiments with: Pretreatment with this vitamin C/K combination also potentiates the effect of chemotherapy and radiation. It also appears to be nontoxic, leaving normal cells unaffected. Beating Cancer As a Whole Here at CHIPSA Hospital we utilize intravenous Vitamin CK3 as part of our integrative approach to treating cancer and autoimmune disease.
Here are some of the protocols we utilize: We are not in any way, shape or form, stating that we have a cure for cancer. It’s very common to see alternative practitioners making claims that one substance or “thing” is an all out cure. We know from our experience in treating cancer for 37 years , that cancer is very complex and always evolving. There is no 100% cure. What we do know, however, is that CHIPSA has had great success treating many patients that were sent home to “die” in their home country because conventional medicine failed them. We also know, that a 5 year, retrospective Melanoma case study done at our hospital showed a higher success rate treating Melanoma than any treatment available by the establishment. And we do know that many times within a 3-4 week stay, we will see peoples tumor markers be cut in half or go away and large tumors disappear. We feel that combining Vitamin CK3 with some of our proven immune boosting protocols and our 37 years of research into immune function may allow for some groundbreaking cancer treatments and get us closer to an answer.
