IMPORTANT NOTICE   to Health Care Workers Using the Protocol for High-Dose Intravenous Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) for the Treatment of Cancer in Patients Who Are Also Diabetic!

It has been discovered that high-dose intravenous vitamin C (15 grams and higher) will cause a "False Positive" on finger stick blood glucose strips read on a "glucometer" within four hours after receiving the vitamin C infusion. If blood is taken from a vein and run on serum in a laboratory, there is no interference. For some reason, the strips are reading high levels of ascorbate as glucose.

Please alert any diabetic patients of this potential complication. Again, it is a "False Positive" on the strips — the blood glucose does NOT change.

INTRAVENOUS VITAMIN C and CANCER
This article, written by Dr. Ron Hunninghake, was recently published in The Center's Health Hunter® Newsletter

"There is actually a wide spectrum of medical uses for vitamin C. Evidence exists documenting it as the best antiviral agent now available ... IF used at the proper dose. Vitamin C can neutralize and eliminate a wide range of toxins. Vitamin C will enhance host resistance, greatly augmenting the immune system's ability to neutralize bacterial and fungal infections. Now the National Institutes of Health has published evidence demonstrating vitamin C's anti-cancer properties. With so many medical benefits, why do so few doctors know of them?" ► Read full article here...
