Has anyone heard about high doses of Vitamin C infusion helping pancreatic cancer patients? We had a local news story about it. Any information would be helpful.

There has been a recent report of work being done on high dose Vit. C being given intravenously with some success, but it is still at an early stage. Here are some more studies of this:

It would appear that ingested high doses of vitamin C are not particularly effective as most is excreted.
