High Dose Intravenous Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) and Glutathione as Integrative Therapy in a Patient with Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma: Case Report

Abstract

Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma is the most common Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Given its prevalence, there is an interest in studying the treatments available and how these can be improved. The standard treatment is a chemotherapeutic regimen known as R-CHOP. The goal of this paper is to inform of an integrative approach to R-CHOP, implementing high dose intravenous Vitamin C (AA) with glutathione (GSH). In the case presented herein, the patient attained complete remission with a minimal toxicity profile and an excellent performance status. These results present a possible viable approach for patients suffering of Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma. In this paper, we also briefly review the literature available on the aforementioned treatment.
