Orange juice cures cancer

LONDON: An apple a day keeps the doctor away--but orange juice cures cancer. At least that's what researchers at the National Institutes of Health are reporting. To be fair, the treatment requires way more than a few glasses of orange juice. In actuality, it requires massive doses of intravenous vitamin C.

For example, one of Greenberg's patients was diagnosed with lung cancer that had spread to his brain, and yet another had breast cancer that could be seen protruding from her chest. Both were told their situations were grim. However, after several months both patients responded well to the vitamin C treatment, and today both are doing well and appear to be cancer free.

In fact, the breast cancer patient is past the critical five-year mark—typically considered a full remission.

While some researchers believe the treatment works by killing the cancer cells outright, others believe it is vitamin C's powerful antioxidant protection at work.

Both theories are right, to a degree. You see, just like chemotherapy, vitamin C produces hydrogen peroxide in the body—the same stuff you've been using to kill germs on cuts and abrasions all your life.
