Lunch & Learn: Mitochondrial Mayhem – Correcting the Root Cause of Cancer
What do you do when you’re hit with the big C?
Carol R., 63, Retired Teacher-
Follow the journey of a Riordan Clinic cancer patient and share in her story of hope and recovery. Visit the link below to read more about how High-Dose IV Vitamin C, as a Riordan Clinic therapy, is a powerful agent in selectively fighting cancer cells.
Many Ways Vitamin C Affects Cancer & Health
For more than 20 years the Riordan Clinic (formerly The Center for Improvement of Human Functioning Intl. Inc.) has been studying the effects of vitamin C in relation to cancer and other diseases. Dr. Riordan presents the latest research data regarding the effectiveness of vitamin C as a therapy for cancer and how it works in three ways.

Do Antioxidants Help or Hinder Chemotherapy and Radiation?
Intravenous vitamin C has been successfully used at The Center for over 20 years as adjunctive care for cancer patients. The National Institute of Health has published research replicating The Center’s demonstration that high doses of vitamin C are selectively toxic to tumor cells. This presentation explains the scientific mechanism underlying this effect and shows you how to further enhance its effectiveness with special doses of oral supplements. Presented by Glen Hyland, MD.

The Emerging Role of IVC in Cancer Care
Riordan Clinic IVC and Cancer Symposium 2010 Presenter: Paul Saunders, N.D. – Dr. Paul Saunders from Toronto opened the symposium with “The Emerging Role of IV-C in Cancer Care.” He showed how IVC therapy can be blended with other adjunctive therapies to “overcome cancer, improve patient energy [and] quality of life, and address the side effects of cancer [and] conventional treatment.” IVC can help to reduce the dreaded side effects of traditional cancer therapies.

IPT, IVC and QOL
Riordan Clinic IVC and Cancer Symposium 2010 Presenter: Bradford S. Weeks, M.D. – Dr. Brad Weeks from the state of Washington continued with a discussion on the use of Insulin Potentiation Therapy (IPT) to selectively target cancer cells for elimination. Low doses of insulin “activate” smoldering cancer cells, thereby allowing for a 90% reduction in the dosage of chemotherapy drugs necessary to induce apoptosis (cell death) of tumors. IPT, along with proper “anticancer” nutrition, moderate exercise, and appropriate supplementation is an emerging treatment for cancer that is “well tolerated, effective and cost effective.”

Tumors, Their Stroma, and Vitamin C
Riordan Clinic IVC and Cancer Symposium 2010 Presenter: Daniel Rubin, N.D., F.A.B.N.O. – Dr. Dan Rubin from Arizona provided a highly scientific and technical presentation on the theory that cancer is “wound healing gone awry.” This provoked a lively discussion during the Q&A that followed. This “non-healing wound” theory represents a new paradigm of scientific thought that promises better cancer care outcomes thanks to a better biological understanding of this ubiquitous illness.

The Riordan IVC Protocol
Riordan Clinic IVC and Cancer Symposium 2010 Presenter: Ron Hunninghake, M.D. – Riordan Clinic’s own Dr. Ron Hunninghake served as the keynote speaker for the symposium. Dr. Hunninghake articulated the basic tenets of Riordan IVC Protocol that is now used worldwide in nutritional medicine circles for the adjunctive treatment of cancer. According to the Riordan protocol, “the cause of cancer [is the] failure to restore sustained cellular injury.” With the Riordan IVC Protocol high-dose Vitamin C treatment side effects are uncommon, unlike traditional “toxic” chemotherapy treatments. This Protocol boosts immunity, slows the growth of the cancer, relieves pain and fatigue, and reduces many of the side effects of traditional cancer treatments.

Adult Stem Cells and Cancer
Riordan Clinic IVC and Cancer Symposium 2010 Presenter: Tom Ichim, Ph.D. – Dr. Ichim gave the attendees an exciting overview of his work with adult cancer stem cells stating that the “war on cancer failed [because] we were targeting the wrong cell!” He hypothesizes that instead of targeting the treatment to kill the cancer cell what if we asked the question, “[Since] stem cells heal injured tissue…if cancer is a ‘non-healing wound’, what if we try to heal it with stem cells?” Dr. Ichim presented exciting basic science research that supports this premise.

Preventing Cancer the Riordan Clinic Way
Dr. Hunninghake will review the emerging role of lifestyle modifications as a means not only of preventing cancer but also of slowing the progression of existing cancers. In addition, he will review the Riordan Clinic’s leadership in researching adjunctive cancer care plans such as intravenous vitamin C.

New Cancer Research: Vitamin C and Angiogenesis
One of the keys to tumor grow is a process of making new blood vessels called “angiogenesis.” Can we cure cancer by reversing the angiogenesis process? Some of our most recent research at the Bio-Communications Research Institute suggests that high doses of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) may affect the “angiogenesis” process. In this presentation, Dr. Casciari presents current data as well as a review of the Riordan Clinic’s long experience with vitamin c, cancer, and angiogenesis research.

What Really Causes Cancer (and What You Can Do to Prevent It)
Our fear of cancer is based upon the fear of the unknown and the prediction of doom that we give it. Through a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms that cause normal cells to become cancerous, we can achieve three positive results: 1) transform fear into rational action; 2) reduce cancer risk through behavioral changes that address these mechanisms; and 3) effectively treat the disease of cancer with oxidative strategies that make sense from both a conventional and an alternative perspective.

How Vitamin C Fights Cancer
Vitamin C is commonly understood to be an antioxidant. The National Institutes of Health has replicated research done at The Center for the Improvement of Human Functioning which shows that very high blood levels of vitamin C can act as a pro-drug that forms hydrogen peroxide at doses lethal to cancer cells. This pro-oxidant effect is best achieved by intravenous administration of vitamin C. New findings suggest that high oral doses of vitamin C used in conjunction with “redox cyclers” may support and enhance the effect of IVC against cancer.
