Researchers have found a natural way on how to kill the cancer stem cells. Vitamin C is newest and natural treatment for cancer, it is also said to be ten times more effective than other drugs.

The effectivity of Vitamin C was tested by the researchers from the University of Salford in Manchester. In a previous study, Vitamin C was used in some experimentation and has shown potential in reducing the mortality rate among breast cancer patients.

Researchers now have gathered some evidence indicating that Vitamin C is more effective treatment for cancer. Cancer stem cells were known to resist chemotherapy treatment; the reason why cancer continue to metastasize and keep coming back in the body. 

In the research, the scientists have tested the influence of seven substances which includes Vitamin C to kill cancer stem cells. One experimental drug and natural antibiotic drug perform well than Vitamin C, however, it is ten times more effective in killing the cancerous cells.

According to Dr. Michael P. Lisanti the co-author of the study and professor at the University of Salford, this finding is a significant step in making a potential weapon to fight the deadly disease. Vitamin C is also natural; it does not contain any toxic, cheap and already available.

In the 1970s, consuming a high dose of Vitamin C was already an option for cancer treatment. By taking a large amount of the vitamin, it has the ability to slow down the growth of certain type of cancer cells like colon, liver, prostate, and pancreatic. But the research did not receive much fundings back then because the clinical trial did show any anti-cancer benefits in the late 1970s and early 80s, according to WebMD. 

Researchers have argued about the clinical trial because it was taken orally and causes the gut to absorb the nutrients which will be secreted in the kidney. A more effective trial could be Intravenous Vitamin C.
