Cancer and Vitamin C: A Discussion of the Nature, Causes, Prevention, and Treatment of Cancer with Special Reference to the Value of Vitamin C"This volume could be titled 'Cancer- A Book for Intelligent Laymen,' for it explains in plain language the nature and known causes of cancer, covering nearly all its different forms and their natural progression. Cancer and Vitamin C also weighs the value and limitations of various modes of treatment: surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, hormones, immunotherapy, and a number of unorthodox therapies, including Laetrile. Cameron and Pauling emphasize the value of supplemental vitamin C as a supportive measure in all cancer treatment, providing helpful details on dosage and methods of administration. The value of vitamin C as an adjunct to therapy is corroborated by detailed accounts of more than fifty cancer patients who have derived varying degrees of benefit from vitamin C. The book concludes with an important chapter on the prevention of cancer, offering a few practical measures that could immediately and markedly reduce the incidence of this disease. The book has a number of appendices giving details about cancer mortality in the United States, a list of cancer chemotherapeutic drugs and their mode of action, a discussion of surgical terms, and a glossary of practical information about vitamin C and its use. |
