Introduction Cancer care is evolving beyond a narrow focus on tumor destruction toward a more comprehensive model that considers metabolism, immunity, inflammation, and quality of life. Within this broader framework, nutritional pharmacology—the use of nutrients at pharmacological doses to influence biological pathways—has gained renewed interest. Proponents argue that certain nutrients, when administered at doses far exceeding dietary intake, may exert effects comparable to drugs: modulating oxidative stress, immune function, angiogenesis, and tumor metabolism. Critics counter that enthusiasm has outpaced evidence. The truth likely lies between these positions. This article examines the scientific rationale, clinical evidence, and limitations of nutritional pharmacology in cancer care, with particular attention to high-dose intravenous vitamin C , the most extensively studied example. What Is Nutritional Pharmacology? Nutritional pharmacology differs fundamentally from conventiona...

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s remark in a Congressional hearing last week that “My vision is that every American is wearing a wearable within four years” stirred an uproar in MAHA circles, as one influencer after another scrambled to denounce his statement and accuse him of being a sellout or a traitor. Ignoring his staunch decades-long advocacy of civil liberties, these critics took his statement as proof that he is advancing a totalitarian plan to continuously monitor every person’s body. Since Kennedy has in the past warned about precisely this – the “internet of people” in which not even our own heartbeat is private – I reached out to him to see if he’d changed his mind. “What were you thinking?” I asked. Kennedy admitted that he chose his words poorly. “What I was trying to say is that I want this technology to be universally available as one of the ways people can get on top of their health,” he explained. “Of course I don’t want to mandate it. And the idea of everyone’s body being ho...
