2005 Contribution of the Year - Steve Hickey PhD and Hilary Roberts PhD 2005 Contribution of the Year - Steve Hickey PhD and Hilary Roberts PhD

At the top of the list, two warriors, Steve Hickey PhD and
Hilary Roberts PhD, pharmacology graduates from
Manchester, England, whose landmark books have disclosed
the falsehoods disseminated by skeptics of vitamin C therapy.
The latest of these, CANCER, NUTRITION AND
SURVIVAL is available at will open the
door for many cancer patients to opt for “ascorbate” therapy rather
than the harsh ineffective treatments now being offered by
conventional medicine. Cancer patients who seek out intravenous
vitamin C treatment are likely to survive longer (by years in some instances) than with
chemo or radiation treatment. Their earlier book, THE RIDICULOUS DAILY
ALLOWANCE reveals the flawed science behind the establishment of the RDA for
vitamin C which has led to the mistaken public impression that most adults consume
sufficient amounts of vitamin C. In fact, 100% of the human species is deficient.

This is a highly accessible ebook for both the lay and medical communities (paper version is also available). Based on demonstrable experimental data and it's immediate implications it is the latest and THE most definitive work on IV Vitamin C and associated synergetic factors. Like their other works* the characteristic thoroughness of Drs. Steve Hickey and Hilary Roberts (PhDs) have supported this work with 42 pages or 1149 references. Hence making it the most comprehensive reference to date.

The following quotes provide the essence of this truly empowering work...

"Cancer occurs because of the way animals have evolved from a single-celled to a multi-celled state. The success of multi-cellular organisms suggests they have evolved ways of dealing with cancer. Hence, the microevolutionary** approach predicts that large numbers of agents that prevent or kill cancer cells should occur naturally. This is indeed the case: safe anticancer agents are common and relatively easy to find. However, the medical establishment is apparently unaware of them."

"Over millions of years, multicellular organisms, such as animals and plants, have evolved mechanisms to control abnormal cell growth and cancer. This implies the existence of nutrients and naturally occurring substances, which destroy cancer cells without being toxic to healthy tissues."

"substances are common throughout nature. Therapies based on these nutrients take advantage of metabolic differences between cancer cells and healthy cells, to destroy the cancer cells while doing no harm to, or even helping, the healthy cells. Clinical trials are urgently needed to test"

"... non-toxic treatments, based on massive oral or intravenous doses of vitamin C and other antioxidants, can destroy cancer cells and prevent them from growing. This is especially true if glucose is in short supply. There is an overwhelming preponderance of scientific evidence that even “terminal” cancer is treatable, using this approach."

"We have described evidence that vitamin C can kill cancer. Indeed, the properties of ascorbate reflect, perfectly, the requirements for a chemotherapeutic agent."

"We have described the action of vitamin C in detail. Vitamin C illustrates the basic mechanism for killing and controlling cancer cells. Taken alone, it has been shown to be completely effective in a relatively limited range of cancers; however, it potentiates the action of many other nutrients and drugs."

"The cytotoxic action of vitamin C requires high doses. At low doses, cancer cells can use the ascorbate as a nutrient, whereas massive doses kill cancer cells selectively, by generating hydrogen peroxide.".

"A diet to prevent cancer is low in carbohydrates, with a high proportion of antioxidants. The consumption of a variety of coloured vegetables and fruit in the diet will reduce the incidence of cancer, because of the antioxidants they contain. Supplementation with a range of antioxidant vitamins and minerals will also hinder the initiation and microevolutionary** development of cancer."

"Unless medicine undergoes a paradigm shift, mainstream efforts appear unlikely to achieve such a breakthrough in the next century." Or "the current unacceptably low success rate and too few people will live longer than five years after diagnosis."

The book is based on solid ground, that of natures own mechanisms for dealing with cancer. It then logically and cleverly harnesses these very properties to safely reduce cancer cells.

Ascorbate - The Science of Vitamin C

Ridiculous Dietary Allowance - An open challenge to the RDA for vitamin C

**Microevolution: subspecies level evolutionary changes, which include adaptation to local environments.

The perfect cancer therapy would kill cancers without harming ordinary cells. Billions have been spent on cancer research, yet cancer researchers have failed to discover the magic bullet. Or, is it possible that such cancer bullets been found, and overlooked or ignored, as too good to be true.

The new book Cancer: Nutrition and Survival by Drs. Steve Hickey, Ph.D. and Hilary Roberts, Ph.D. is a treatise on cancer biology. Hickey and Roberts review for the reader science that explains how cells grow and die, the causes of cancer, and what among the nontoxic substances have been found to be lethal to cancer cells without harming ordinary cells.

The book may have been entitled Vitamin C Kills Cancer, because the most important natural cancer killing substance that professors Hickey and Roberts cover is vitamin C, called ascorbate in high dosages. It does not seem possible that this low-cost substance is lethal to cancer cells. It is completely nontoxic to normal cells, even a vital nutrient, and it has no known serious side effects at almost any dosage. It sounds like science fiction, but this book is based on science.

Hickey and Roberts’ review of the literature informs us that scientists and researchers have now discovered other natural, nontoxic substances that appear to equal or amplify vitamin C’s cancer killing ability.

Readers will learn the following:

- How better diagnosis skews 5-year cancer survival statistics. Cancer discovered earlier means patients live longer after the diagnosis, not that conventional treatments are necessarily more effective today.

- Why it is normal for cells to die to protect the life of the organism; programmed cell death is called apoptosis. (This process is analogous to tree leaves dying in winter to prevent the death of the entire tree.) Hickey and Roberts explain how antioxidants trigger apoptosis in cancer cells.

- Why cancers become aggressive, and why conventional methods that shrink but don't destroy tumors can lead to more aggressive tumors.

- Why longevity and well-being might be increased by doing nothing in lieu of accepting conventional treatment.

- The proper (very high) dosages for controlling cancer with "magic bullet" antioxidants, e.g., vitamin C. The book explains why some dosages will stop cancer growth and why even higher dosages can create blood levels that kill cancers.

- An explanation of the confusing experimental findings that have revealed that low dosages of nutrients, including vitamin C, may "feed" fast growing cancer cells, leading to more aggressive growth of tumors.

- That nutrients can reach cancer-killing levels via oral administration in most people. Oral administration is not only feasible and advisable, but it is a necessary adjunct to I.V. C administration, in order to keep constant pressure on the growing cancer.

Recently, scientists at the United States National Institutes of Health (NIH) made an important discovery. They reported their experiments and confirmed the "magic bullet" nature of vitamin C. Levin and others found in test tubes that vitamin C, as ascorbic acid, was lethal to cancer cells, but not to ordinary cells. According to the NIH, cancer cells die at serum blood levels that require intravenous infusion. Hickey and Roberts have previously informed us in their earlier books (ASCORBATE: The Science of Vitamin C, and the Ridiculous Dietary Allowance) that the required blood concentrations of vitamin C are achievable orally by following their Dynamic Flow model for continuous intake.

CANCER: Nutrition and Survival is written by scientists for scientists, oncologists and other medical professionals and cancer patients. These pharmacology professors tell us that the science exists, but that various natural, unpatenable substances are not being utilized by conventional oncology in the fight against cancer, nor are they being actively studied by pharmaceutical companies (possibly for monetary reasons).
