Case Report
The fact that citric acid is effective as a cancer treatment is already published, in this article I present
the case report of a patient with a myeloid leukemia M2 who improved after taking citric acid orally.
Keywords: Leukemia, citric acid
TEXT
I published the medical hypothesis that citric acid, as
being the natural inhibitor of glycolysis, would be effective
as a cancer treatment since March, 2007 in Medical
Hypotheses, from Elsevier (Bucay, 2007). Two years and
two months later, on May, 2009, I published in the same
journal the first case of a patient with cancer who
improves only with citric acid as antineoplastic treatment,
the patient is a 14 years old boy who had terminal
cancer, medullary thyroid cancer as part of a multiple
endocrine neoplasia type 2B (Bucay, 2009), and 9
months later, on February, 2011, the second patient with
terminal cancer, peritoneal mesothelioma who improves
again, only with citric acid, was published (Bucay, 2011).
In this article I present the case of a 75 years old male
patient with myeloid leukemia type M2 confirmed by a
bone marrow biopsy, his blood count on May 2nd, 2013
presented Hemoglobin 10.2 g/dl, leukocytes 960 per
mm3, with 67.7% lymphocytes and 28% neutrophils and
72,000 platelets per mm3; he began taking citric acid
orally, 10 grams each day, and the results of his blood
