Vitamin C Therapy |

If so, why haven't you heard more about it? Why
haven't more doctors used Vitamin C as medicine? Progress takes time, unfortunately.
Fresh fruit was known to cure scurvy by 1753, yet governments ignored the
fact for nearly 100 years. Countless thousands died in the meantime. The
19th century doctor who first advocated washing one's hands between patients
died ignored and in disgrace with the medical profession. Toxic mercury
was used as medicine into the twentieth century. And so it has been. The first physician to
aggressively use vitamin C to cure diseases was Frederick R. Klenner, M.D.
beginning back in the early 1940's. Dr. Klenner consistently cured
chicken pox, measles, mumps, tetanus and polio with huge doses of the
vitamin. While vaccines are now available for these illnesses, please
remember this was not the case in the 1940's. The following is a list
of the conditions that Dr. Klenner successfully treated with aggressive vitamin
C therapy:
Pneumonia This seems like an impossible
list of vitamin C cures. At this point, you can either dismiss the subject or
investigate further. Dr. Klenner chose to investigate. The result? He
used massive doses of vitamin C for over forty years of family
practice. He wrote dozens of medical papers on the subject. A
complete list of them is in the Clinical Guide to the Use of Vitamin C,
edited by Lendon H. Smith, M.D., Life Sciences Press, It is difficult to ignore
his success, but it has been done. Dr. Klenner wrote: "Some
physicians would stand by and see their patient die rather than use ascorbic
acid (Vitamin C) because in their finite minds it exists only as a
vitamin." Vitamin C is remarkably
safe even in enormously high doses. Compared to commonly used prescription
drugs, side effects are virtually nonexistent. It does not cause kidney
stones. In fact, vitamin C increases urine flow and favorably lowers the pH
to help keep stones from forming. William J. McCormick, M.D. used vitamin
C since the late 1940's to prevent and treat kidney stones. Vitamin C
does not significantly raise oxalate levels, and uric acid stones have never
resulted from its use, either. Said Dr. Klenner: "The ascorbic
acid/kidney stone story is a myth." How much vitamin C is an
effective therapeutic dose? Dr. Klenner gave up to 300,000 milligrams
(mg) per day. Generally, he gave 350 to 700 mg per kilogram body weight
per day. That is a lot of Vitamin C. But then again, look at
that list of successes. Dr. Klenner emphasized that
small amounts do not work. He said, "If you want results, use
adequate ascorbic acid (Vitamin C)." If you want to learn more
about the therapeutic uses of vitamin C, the following books are recommended: How To Live
Longer and Feel Better, by Linus Pauling, Ph.D., The free online archive of the The
Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine is also recommended. Andrew Saul is the author of the books FIRE
