Help Fight To Keep IAA In The Market

This is an appeal to everyone to help in this campaign to keep Intravenous Ascorbic Acid [IAA] in the market.

It has been common knowledge for years now, especially in alternative medicine circles, that mega-doses of Vitamin C effectively kill some types of cancer cells without harming the healthy cells. [read: Vitamin C Cancer Therapy's Bright Hope]



Do you realize the implications of this, to us consumers, and to Big Pharma? To cancer sufferers and kins who experience collateral emotional stress, this is cheap, effective, natural chemotherapy without its debilitating side effects. To Big Pharma, which is pushing for its expensive radiation and chemotherapy treatments with all its ugly side effects, it spells doom for its lucrative multi-billion dollar market.

Just this month, the US FDA issued an order to McGuff Pharmaceuticals to desist from manufacturing and distributing IAA, which, it alleged, was in violation of certain rules in the manufacture and marketing of unapproved new drugs.

Vitamin C is not a drug, but a by-product of metabolism which is produced naturally by some plants and most animals. And it is not new since, it has been widely used by alternative medicine practitioners for years now in the treatment of cancer cases.

According to representatives of the Alliance Natural Health, who spoke with FDA officials regarding this issue, the agency will also soon order the rest of firms manufacturing and marketing IAA to refrain from doing so. But the representatives sensed that the FDA might just be testing the waters in the case of McDuff, hence, the urgency of this appeal need not be emphasized.

The FDA's mission is supposed to be to protect the consumers. So it's rather surprising that it is taking the first steps toward completely making a very promising non-drug cancer treatment unavailable to cancer patients, who may be your loved ones, or someone you know. As to whether lobby by Big Pharma has something to do with this...I can only speculate.

So, please help with this campaign to make FDA officials rethink their position on this important issue. Send an e-mail to consumer@fda.gov and use "Allow intravenous vitamin C" as your subject line. And in the body of the e-mail, state that the FDA should continue to allow the manufacture of intravenous ascorbic acid--a therapy that's shown remarkable cancer-fighting potential in many case studies--so that it will be available when they, or their loved ones need it.

Perhaps, it will greatly help the campaign if you could also send emails to your Congressman, or Senator, regarding this issue.
