Abstract
To the Editor: This letter is written out of courtesy to Dr. Linus Pauling, who has requested that we clarify an introductory statement in our article pertaining to vitamin C therapy for advanced cancer.1 In the 1976 report covering their nonrandomized observations of 100 terminal cancer patients treated with high-dose vitamin C, Cameron and Pauling stated "All of the patients are treated initially in a perfectly conventional way, by operation, use of radiotherapy, and administration of hormones and cytotoxic substances."2 On the basis of this statement, we stated that their patients had received radiation and chemotherapy. Drs. Pauling and Cameron . . .Keywords
