All the negative reaction by the medical profession is born our of blind science and fear.
I have worked with a Doctor who has been using IV Vitamin C for at least 30 years in his clinic. It is routine for him. There are masses of scientifically hosted trials which prove the outstanding efficacy of the vital substance which unlike most animals, humans do not produce naturally. Why is there so much hostility? Vitamin C cannot be patented by the pharmaceutical companies, therefore no profits and major embarassment that something so cheap and simple works!
I have been a physical therapist for 47 years,and 67 years of age. I take 20 grams Magnesium Ascorbate daily. I have the energy of a young man , my kindeys have certainly not stopped working! My Doctor friend and his wife both take the same daily amount and have great health.

Like the kingdom of heaven, the kingdom of health has to be taken by storm!

Alan Smith’s survival is not a miracle. Never before have global health issues been more critical to our society. Pandemics and natural and man-made disasters with resultant displaced populations are accompanied by unique health challenges. Dr. Linus Pauling has advocated mega doses of Vitamin C & a combination of Nutrients to combat the many diseases that kills us today. He called this Orthomolecular Medicine – The Right Nutrient for your Health! There are tons of scientific research ( Orthomolecular Medicine is science based) available at http://www.orthomed.org/ and http://www.doctoryourself.com/ckorea2008.html and http://eduquant.org/ It is fortunate that Mr.Smith’s family saved him with Vitamin C therapy. There is enough scientific research to prove the efficacy of Vitamin C for a range of conditions. Here are some: 1. Dr. Victor Marcial is an oncologist in Puerto Rico who has been using the strategies presented in the book “I Have Cancer: What Should I Do?” with his patients. Here he speaks of his experiences: “First, there are very few are doing this kind of research. This is saving lives. We studied patients with advanced cancer (stage 4). 40 patients received 40,000-75,000 mg intravenously several times a week. These are patients that have not responded to other treatments. Phase 1 of the study is to assess safety and response. In addition, they received a diet and other supplements. The initial tumor response rate was achieved in 75% of patients, defined as a 50% reduction or more in tumor size. In the majority of the patients the tumors grew back when patients stopped the treatment. These interventions have to be continued for a prolonged time, sometimes forever. More studies are needed to have a better understanding on this. “Our second collaboration is the use of vitamin C during radiation and chemotherapy.As a radiation oncologist, I also give radiation therapy. Vitamin C has two effects. It increases the beneficial effects of radiation and chemotherapy and decreases the adverse effects. But this is not a subtle effect, is not 15-20%, it’s a dramatic effect.Once you start using IV vitamin C, the effect is so dramatic that it is difficult to go back to not using it. If this is a load of bullshit – consider this – According to peer-reviewed research, conventional chemotherapy contributes 2.3% to five year cancer survival in Australia and 2.1% in the USA. (Morgan, Ward and Barton. Clinical Oncology, 2004. 16:549-560) 2.The use of doses of tens of thousands of milligrams of vitamin C per day may be the most unacknowledged successful research in medicine. High doses were advocated almost immediately after ascorbic acid was isolated. Notable early medical pioneers of high-dose vitamin C therapy are Claus Washington Jungeblut (1898-1976); William J. McCormick (1880-1968); and Frederick R. Klenner (1907-1984). More recently, important work has been published by Hugh D. Riordan (1932-2005) and Robert F. Cathcart III (1932 – 2007). Jungeblut first published on ascorbate as prevention and treatment for polio, in 1935. Also in 1935, Jungeblut showed that vitamin C inactivated diphtheria toxin. By 1937, Jungeblut demonstrated that ascorbate inactivated tetanus toxin. Between 1943 and 1947, Klenner, a specialist in diseases of the chest, cured 41 cases of viral pneumonia with vitamin C. By 1946, McCormick showed how vitamin C prevents and also cures kidney stones; by 1957, how it fights cardiovascular disease. Beginning in the 1960s, Robert F. Cathcart, M.D. used large doses of vitamin C to treat pneumonia, hepatitis, and eventually AIDS. For more three decades, beginning in 1975, Hugh D. Riordan, M.D. and his team have successfully used large doses of intravenous vitamin C against cancer. The medical literature has virtually ignored nearly 75 years of physician reports and laboratory and clinical studies on successful high-dose ascorbate therapy. Jungeblut’s other polio papers, 1937-1939: Jungeblut CW. Vitamin C therapy and prophylaxis in experimental poliomyelitis. J Exp Med, 1937. 65: 127-146. Jungeblut CW. Further observations on vitamin C therapy in experimental poliomyelitis. J Exper Med, 1937. 66: 459-477. Jungeblut CW, Feiner RR. Vitamin C content of monkey tissues in experimental poliomyelitis. J Exper Med, 1937. 66: 479-491. Jungeblut CW. A further contribution to vitamin C therapy in experimental poliomyelitis. J Exper Med, 1939. 70:315-332. Klenner successfully treated polio, pneumonia, and other serious infectious diseases. (Klenner FR. Observations on the dose of administration of ascorbic acid when employed beyond the range of a vitamin in human pathology. Journal of Applied Nutrition, 1971. 23(3 and 4), p 61-68.) http://www.doctoryourself.com/klennerpaper.html Klenner treated an astounding variety of diseases with massive doses of vitamin C: bladder infections, arthritis, leukemia, atherosclerosis, ruptured intervertebral discs, high cholesterol, corneal ulcer, diabetes, glaucoma
