Is it true that melanoma patients should not take Vitamin C supplements?
The chief imunologist’s office at Sloan-Kettering recommends that their patients not take vitamin C. They said this in an unpublished report based on findings in their lab that Vitamin C accelerates melanoma. Vitamin C provides a channel for melanin and for the amino-acid, tyrosine. Tyrosine is under suspicion as a “bad guy” in melanoma. Other major cancer centers, including JWCI, see no problem with Vitamin C.
