My mother had terminal cancer, and was given 6 months to live (if that long). She let us talk her into her first chemo session, and it nearly killed her...she ended up with diabetes, fluid on the heart, scarred internal organs, brittle bones...she was a royal mess and THEN lost all her hair. She was supposed to take 6 sessions, but she told us to EF OFF. She wasn't having any more of it.

She started corresponding with Linus Pauling. He convinced her to take massive doses of Vitamin C.

She lived for 16 years.

She would still be alive now if a nurse hadn't forgotten to check her morphine pain patch and put TWO of them on her (and at maximum dose instead of the prescribed minimum on the second patch). She'd fallen down and broken her hip (damned brittle bones). She was highly susceptible to morphine, and she went into a coma.

I'm a firm believer in the value of mega-doses of Vitamin C.
