Has anyone used Vitamin C IV treatment for cancer?

Hello. Did anyone use Vitamin C IV? I need for my grandmother... All infos will be appreciated. Thanks

I think this is a question for the doctor. You should not be doing anything that hasn't been run by a medical professional. Only a medical professional can set up an IV.

I assume since you are investigating alternative therapies that your grandmother has a terminal diagnosis, I'm sorry about that.

I'm sure you have already been researching online but you may not have seen this very concise web page from cancer.gov
www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/treatment/cam/patient/vitamin-c-pdq#link/_18

I would also urge you to read Being Mortal by Atul Gawande, a book which includes a very thoughtful discussion about medical decisions at the end of life.
