To the Editor:
It seems that Dr. Gabe Mirkin is woefully misinformed about vitamin C and is spreading his disinformation on the web via your site. Please stop. Read this free book:

This book is written by two other doctors – doctors who advocate vitamin C and laud Linus Pauling for his advocacy of vitamin C. They also illustrate how the medical community seems to of gone out of its way to discredit vitamin C. They shoot every one of these attempts full of holes. For example, the Mayo Clinic seemly designed a study that totally ignored the proper administration of vitamin C. Then, the Mayo Clinic’s study is used to discredit the use of vitamin C. Does that make sense to you? It does to me – if your objective is disinformation, that is. Just one example of how the medical community works so hard to discredit vitamin C. This book includes 569 citation/references.
Dr. Mirkin is continuing on with the medical community’s propensity to attack the use of vitamin C and its effect on cancer. He’s simply dead wrong, and your publication is helping him to spread his disinformation.
There are numerous publications and research papers that prove vitamin c preferentially kills cancer. Just search Vitamin C and Cancer – see the numerous results you will get. Linus Pauling was correct, Dr Mirkin is not. Linus Pauling just wasn’t taking vitamin C at a high enough dose to kill the type of cancer he had. As Dr Mirkin said, he was unaware that he even had prostate cancer. If he had known about it, he surely would of increased the amount of vitamin C he was taking. Also, combining intravenous vitamin C (IVC) with alpha lipoic acid (ALA) would of increased the effectiveness of his daily 25 g infusions. Also, look up autoschizis, a relatively newly identified mechanism for the death of cancer cells:

People seem to love to bring down those who have achieved great things. Dr Mirkin is a great example of this. Your publication should take measures to address this smear on the great Linus Pauling. I’ve somewhat given the editors a pass on this because this is medical information. But I now consider the editors to be educated on this topic and expect some sort of appropriate response such as a prostscript or preface to this article.
