My husband was diagnoised with GBM in Jan 2015. We were recently told about Vitamin C IV. Have you had any experiences with that particular treatment on a GBM patient?

Hello,
I do not have a great deal of experience with Glioblastoma, the most common and one of the most difficult-to-treat of the brain cancers.
However, I do have extensive experience with the use of high-dose intravenous vitamin C, which we routinely administer for cancer and other C-responsive conditions. We use a protocol similar to that of the Riordan Clinic (see attached).
I also recommend a number of other non-toxic anti-cancer regimens—several of which have specifically demonstrated efficacy against glioblastoma multiforme in in-vitro and in-vivo studies,(1,2) although they have not been used in human clinical studies (despite an excellent human safety record). I believe these would be appropriate for your husband.
