Abstract
Three cases are described, 2 of Hodgkin's disease and a further case of bronchial carcinoma, where high dosage ascorbic acid treatment appeared to be associated with the development of potentially dangerous symptoms. It is suggested that mega ascorbic acid therapy should be given with caution in malignant disease, with a slow build-up over several days to high levels of dosage.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
