"If what I've been saying is correct - and I'm pretty sure now that I'm correct - if you can alter even a little the very, very advanced cancer patients, then all logic suggests that you should be able to alter the very early stages of the illness. And of course, the earliest stage of the illness is before the person has cancer at all. I'm pretty convinced that if people maintained a reasonable - I don't mean astronomic - intake [of vitamin C], that we would see a diminished incidence of cancer."
