WAKE-UP mainstream medicine–you’ve already got a life-saving treatment that prevents deaths from viruses!!
Drum-roll please….
It’s safe, cheap vitamin C!
To say it takes a while for new things to catch on is an understatement as vitamin C’s ability to protect health and destroy infectious diseases and toxins goes way back into the 1940s with stunning results reported by Duke University Medical School graduate Fredrick R. Klenner, MD.
Dr. Klenner tells us “When proper amounts are used, it [vitamin C] will destroy all virus organisms.” With polio being no exception, massive-dose ascorbate [vitamin C] treatment cured every one of his 60 polio cases. There was zero paralysis.
There’s a legion of Klenner’s miraculous vitamin C results beginning with polio. http://www.doctoryourself.com/klennerbio.html
SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome), another coronavirus, could also have been treated with massive dose vitamin C (ascorbic acid or its’ non-acidic ascorbate form) http://www.doctoryourself.com/sars.htm
Lendon H. Smith. MD describes in great detail in the Clinical Guide to the Use of Vitamin C: The Clinical Experiences of Frederick R. Klenner, M.D.,
“Klenner…gave at least [emphasis mine] 350 mg per kilogram of body weight…a dose of 25,000-30,000 mg or so [per day] for an adult.” With sufficiently large frequent doses he could stop measles and dry up chicken pox.
Then we learn from Thomas E. Levy, MD, JD’s book, “Curing the Incurable…Vitamin C, Infectious Diseases, and Toxins” that …
“eight shingles patients experienced total pain relief within two hours [emphasis mine] of the first 2000-3000 milligram vitamin C injection,” with “complete resolution of 327 of 327 shingles cases within 72 hours of 5-7 vitamin C injections.” (pg. 82-83)*
These life-rescuing healing miracles go way beyond life threatening viruses. Klenner successfully and safely treated virtually all of the now referred to ‘vaccine preventable diseases’, as well as all manner of pathogenic organisms and toxins. Even tetanus, strychnine (pg. 279) and radiation (pg. 275) poison were no match when the vitamin C dose was large enough and given long enough.
But herein lies the key, these vitamin C treatments typically involve massive doses to stay the course of the infectious agent’s destruction and the toxin’s detox. Dosage as high as 270,000 milligrams intravenously plus 40,000 mg orally given within 30 hours had destroyed viral hepatitis (pg. 62), returning the patient to work within a few days.
Physicians with no experience in this type of therapy are fearful of such ‘out-of-the-box’ treatments as they are likely to be attacked by ignorant peers. The pharmaceutical industry, upon which mainstream medicine is grounded, vigorously attacks treatments with non-patentable natural substances. In the past the medical industry called the diet-disease relationships quackery. Currently they are attempting to discredit homeopathy, which is the prevailing medical system of Europe and its royal families.
It’s easy to see why Pharma attacks them; and why the AMA attempted (unsuccessfully) to destroy the chiropractic industry with those same quackery claims. If all the aforementioned treatments were standard of care, we would need a lot less of their drugs and vaccines. So, as is often said “follow the money.”
Intravenous as well as oral forms of vitamin C are readily available from many companies. You must be sure sources are GMO-free. The most potent oral sources are powdered ascorbic acid at 5000mg/teaspoon and ascorbates that provide a maximum of 4400mg/tsp.
If you need to educate your physician use Thomas Levy’s book mentioned earlier. This book is a must for everyone to have. Consider giving copies to friends and loved ones, as well as physicians that might be responsive, and perhaps move on from doctors that are not.

Check out the many vitamin C books written by Dr. Andrew Saul found at www.doctoryourself.com
We see current renewed interest in treating seriously ill patients with Vitamin C check out articles by Paul E. Marik, MD like “The Antiviral Properties of Vitamin C” at https://doi.org/10.1080/14787210.2020.1706483 and “Hydrocortisone-Ascorbic Acid-Thiamine Use Associated with Lower Mortality in Pediatric Septic Shock”
https://www.atsjournals.org/doi/abs/10.1164/rccm.201908-1543LE
Couldn’t we avoid serious injury or death from the coronaviruses and other agents by liberal use of massive dose vitamin C? The evidence confirms it.
It is long past time to be more afraid of mainstream medicine’s ignorance than the use of massive dose intravenous vitamin C, which history assures us has never killed or injured anyone.
