Bottom line: You cant patent Vitamin C, and therefor not make big money of this since the hospital and doctors can make their own solutions.. But new artificial cancer drug you can patent, and therefor make big money holding monopoly.. This interview is very stupid and not very objective journalism since he seem to dismiss the fact that there is huge amount of data on this subject. Currently there are several human trials going on, like this one at Brind Center of Integrative Medicine at Jefferson reported on NBC philadelphia http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBcTaBfZVvY

Ummm...can anyone say: outrageously expensive medicines i.e. pharmaceutical corporation profits vs. incredibly cheap vitamin C? I didn't think so.

All of the evidenced based support for intravenous vitamin c can be found with the national library of medicine at www.pubmed.com. with respect to the journalists comments above, and many personal debates about this issue I have had,the evidence is there. The truth is that the docs don't care to research it and it is difficult for a non scientific person to understand. I have more evidence on intravenous vitamin c for cancer, hepatitis and many other conditionsthen I could possible ever share. So pewople, check pubmed and it is there for all to see

To all the people who say that patients have the right to demand any treatment they want, please answer me this. If I asked for ultrafiltrate of bat's urine, believing it would help me, do I have the absolute right to be given it? There needs to be credible EVIDENCE!! Sorry, but that is lacking for Vitamin C. Those promoting it need to start fronting up with their evidence, and should be prepared to publicly debate and defend this evidence. Some people have claimed that the medical profession has suppressed evidence about the benefits of all sorts of things over the years; if that is true, it is a terrible conspiracy, and the jails would be full of the perpetrators. Tell me where all the law suits have taken place, or perhaps all the lawyers, judges and politicians are also in on the conspiracy. Think about it, you people!!!!!!

Everyone knows that Vit C is wonderful at helping the immune system and I can't believe how "close-minded" you were about this! For someone who's a journalist you sure sounded like one of those doctors who won't believe anything outside of mainstream medicine. Unbelievable! You came off as looking really silly lol. Good on Dr Levy! :) though.

Ok, so don't give vit c to someone because 70 years of research is just not enough but do give the swine flu vaccine or tamiflu cos that has had how much research? It's great the media is starting to question the medical establishment on their motives but there needs to be more. Why isn't the safety and efficacy off all drugs held to the same high standard that they are asking of vit c? Why isn't John Campbell asking the same questions regarding adequate studies to pharmacuetical companies about vaccines that contain known neurotoxins?

I spend a lot of my time learning about nutrition - there is so much research available and easy to find. The medical profession needs to wake up and stop harming people by leaving pharmaceuticals drugs as a last resort, not the first. Not only is Vitamin C an helpful factor in people's health, so is Vitamin D.
