Concerning this experiment at the Mayo clinic I would like to know if
the vitamin C used was natural or synthetic.  If it was synthetic and
given with other medical (non-natural) treatments then who would be
suprised if it was not effective.  Natural treatments are much larger
then just removing a small portion and seeing if it works alone.  In
nature vitamin C always exists with vitamin P (the bioflavinoids).  If
there is no vitamin P present (as is the case with synthetic vitamin C)
then more then ten times the normal amount of C is required to do even
a marginal job.  And who knows what else is missing in synthetic
products.

Without knowing more about this test it is impossible to come to any
real conclutions.  Could someone more familier give some more details
about it?  I do know that is very difficult for medical people to
withold their medical marvels because they feel they are depriving the
patient.  I also do not think that vitamin C alone is used as a cancer
treatment, someone please correct me if they do know of a group that is.
