Alternative Therapy for Oligodendroglioma Brain Tumour: High Dose Vitamin C Infusion

Case study report date: 01/04/2025

Patient information: A 25 year old sports instructor, previously healthy female. Non-drinker, never smoked. 50 kgs in weight. Attended Leicester Ozone Clinic on 05 Feb 2025 and she remains on maintenance therapy until now.

Main symptoms at presentation:

Post-surgical, removal of a brain tumour, Oligodendroglioma grade 3. She was advised that the approximate life expectancy without treatment is 4-6 months post surgery.

Past illnesses:

None.

Prescription medication:

Keppra (anti-epileptic medication) commenced after brain surgery..

Diet and supplements: Turkey Tail mushroom capsules, black/nigella seeds, D3+ K2, curcumin, MCT oil, CBD oil, nascent iodine. On therapeutic ketogenic, milk-free diet but she eats cheese, this is started after diagnosis. Also intermittent fasting.

COVID-19 vaccination status: Unvaccinated.

Timeline of Events and therapies received prior to attending Leicester Ozone Clinic:

02 Dec 2024: Admitted through A & E with neurological symptoms suggestive of brain pathology. For about 6 months prior to this she was experiencing seizures and auditory hallucinations. MRI revealed left-sided brain tumour pressing on the brain tissue.
23 Dec 2024: Emergency temporal lobe tumour resection / de-bulking. Histology later on revealed Oligodendroglioma WHO grade 3.
24 Dec 2024: Post surgical MRI scan done, revealing about 50% of the tumour was resected. She was given 4-6 months at this point without radiotherapy/chemotherapy.
Multiple discussions with specialists followed but the patient was not keen on radiotherapy/chemotherapy in view of the non-curative nature of the therapy and the anticipated side effects. She started looking for alternative therapy for the brain tumour.

Therapy received from Leicester Ozone Clinic and therapeutic response:

5 Feb 2025: First attendance at Leicester Ozone Clinic. Vitamin C commenced at the starting dose of 20,000 mg i.v. Also Thymosin Alpha twice a week and Mistletoe 3 times a week started at the same time. The dose of vitamin c was quickly increased in a stepwise fashion to 90,000 mg three times a week over a 2 week period.
9 March 2025: A follow up MRI was done. This is 11 weeks from the previous post-surgical scan (dated 24 Dec 2024) but only 5 weeks from starting vitamin c and about 3 weeks from reaching the 90,000 mg vitamin c dose. Please see scans on the monitor, side by side, from 9th March (picture on the left) and the post surgical scan from the 24th December (picture on the right). The rough reductions are: 9.2mm in length and 5.1mm in width. Discussion with radiologists suggested that most of the reduction is the result of a reduction in the edema. However, what is not disputed is the lack of progression of the tumour in this period. Here we also added apricots kernels (vitamin b17) to her oral supplements.

Progress report:

15 of March: Mistletoe skin reaction was progressively getting smaller despite increasing doses. A decision was make on the 15 of March 2025 to stop for a few weeks to regain responsiveness.
10 April 2025: MRI scan performed, one month after the previous scan. During this time, the patient received 90,000 mg IV vitamin C, thymosin alpha twice weekly, and intermittent mistletoe therapy. The scan showed no progression of the tumour or its aggressive high-grade components. Radiologists informally noted a possible slight (millimetres) reduction in tumour size; however, the report cautiously described the disease as stable to avoid premature optimism early in treatment.
13 April 2025: A decision was made to introduce alkalisation to reduce acidity in the tumour microenvironment, a possible protection factor for tumour cells. This involved gradually increasing oral sodium bicarbonate to maintain a urine pH of 7 or higher. Additionally, the infusion rate of vitamin C was increased to 1 gram in 1.5 minutes (previously 1 gam in 2 minutes) to achieve higher levels of vitamin c in a shorter period to better penetrate the blood-brain barrier. A scan is planned in a month time.

Further updates will be posted soon.
