High-dose vitamin C creates hydrogen peroxide in cancer cells that lack enough catalase to break it down, flagging them for immune attack. Normal cells have protective enzymes and survive the same treatment.

What does a high level of vitamin C do for you when it's inside of your blood? Well, the real cool thing with vitamin C is it's going to affect cancer cells and infected cells and abnormal cells differently than it affects your normal cells. So in a cancer cell or a virally infected cell or something like that, the vitamin C is gonna get out, it's gonna get to the cellular fluid, the extracellular fluid around the cells, and it's going to encounter metal mineral, usually copper or iron, and it's gonna flip some electrons around and create a peroxide molecule or peroxide molecules. Peroxide then is going to go and settle outside and inside of, say, a virally infected cell or cancer cell. And if those cells are deficient in enzymes to break the peroxide down, like catalase enzyme, then the peroxide is going to cause damage to the cell. And that will cause the immune system to look at those damaged cells. And the immune system may come along and do some immune work to clean them up.
