IVC Treatment for Cancer Patients: An Adjunctive Therapy

Navigating a Cancer Diagnosis

A cancer diagnosis can feel overwhelming, and navigating treatment options can be a complex process. At Neighborhood Naturopathic, we believe in empowering patients with knowledge and data, while offering a variety of effective therapies that complement conventional cancer treatment.

Are you wondering if functional medicine is right for you as you navigate your cancer journey? Here is the evidence you need to support your treatment decisions.

One form of adjunctive care for cancer patients we focus on is called IVC IV Treatment.

What is IVC IV Treatment?

IVC IV treatment, or intravenous vitamin C treatment, involves delivering high doses of vitamin C directly into the bloodstream through an IV (intravenous) line. Unlike oral vitamin C, which has limited absorption rates, IVC treatment allows for much higher concentrations of vitamin C to reach the body’s cells and tissues.

Potential Benefits of IVC IV Treatment for Cancer Patients

While IVC treatment is not a replacement for conventional cancer treatment, research suggests it may offer several potential benefits for cancer patients:

• Immune System Support: At high doses, vitamin C is a powerful prooxidative treatment that can increase the efficacy of conventional treatments, such as chemotherapy, while decreasing the potential for side effects. Studies have also shown that IVC may improve the body’s ability to fight cancer cells by increasing hydrogen peroxide in the extracellular space.
• Reduced Treatment Side Effects: Some studies suggest IVC therapy may help reduce side effects associated with chemotherapy and radiation treatment, such as nausea, fatigue, and neuropathy (nerve pain).
• Improved Quality of Life: By reducing side effects and potentially improving energy levels, IVC therapy may help enhance a patient’s quality of life during cancer treatment.
