Sometime back in the 60s or 70s a nobel laurate Linus Pauling started to claim that mega dosing Vitamin C could cure cancer. He was met with massive back lash and the jist of it is few people believe in vitamins at all anymore. It is big trend, although there are tons of vitamin shops everywhere.
Anyways, so I started high dosing vitamin C, and now I hack and cough all the time, but with lots of moisture that is not normal with me. So I go to search high dosing vitamin C and it is said to have cured someones lung cancer.

A larger case series of terminal cancer patients treated with ascorbate was reported in 1976. In this study, 100 terminal cancer patients (50 of whom were reported on previously) [1] were treated with ascorbate (10 g/day for 10 days IV, then orally) and compared with 1,000 matched controls from the same hospital. The mean survival time for ascorbate-treated patients was 300 days longer than that of the matched controls.[3,4]
I am a long time smoker, quit a couple of times... not for any significant amount of time. Now I am sort of convinced the vitamin c is trult boosting my immune system and I plan to start manufactering liposomal vitamin C myself for better absorption into my system.
That is all... enjoy...
