Vitamin C is most likely the best possible treatment for anyone who has a disease, even if the disease is not yet diagnosed or the patient has been taking other remedies. It is a natural antibiotic, anti-viral, antitoxic and immune booster. There are stacks of books and articles in medical journals and in the health field written about vitamin C. Evidence shows that vitamin C is necessary for good health and can be used effectively as an agent for treating most infectious diseases.
Vitamin C joins directly with toxins or viruses and thus makes them ineffective. This happens very quickly.
In 1949 when polio was prevalent, Dr. Frederick R. Klenner used vitamin C to treat polio victims that came to his office. He wrote that he treated 60 cases of polio and cured every one of them without lasting effects. Vitamin C is the treatment of choice for neutralizing and eliminating poisonous substances from the body, whether they be created by viral infections or poisons consumed. The quantity to be administered to an individual depends upon the graveness of the disease and the state of the patient's own immune system. If we took sufficient quantities of vitamin C daily, most of us could avoid all serious illness.
There exists an enzyme called gulonolactone oxidase, which is present naturally in the bodies of rats and guinea pigs, but is missing in humans. The enzyme is needed to convert glucose to vitamin C. Since 100% of humans do not have this enzyme, they must get vitamin C by other means.
What Vitamin C Does
Vitamin C can be administered in several ways to deactivate toxins, viruses and histamine. When permitted to drip intravenously, vitamin C oxidizes many pathological situations. When it drips quickly it becomes a flash oxidizer and can handle the non-optimum situation in minutes. Vitamin C can also act as an anti-clotting agent and anti-histamine and works quickly to fight infection. Dr. Klenner said that failures of vitamin C result from insufficient quantities being administered for inadequate time period.
The way vitamin C works is that after it attaches to the toxin or virus, the vitamin C itself oxidizes the new compound. Thus the toxin or virus as well as the vitamin C are destroyed. For this reason, vitamin C has to continue to be administered after the cure is effected.
Uses of vitamin C
Administering huge doses of vitamin C by IV has prevented and cured he following aliments:
Chronic fatigue syndrome (Epstein Barr)
Viral hepatitis - Hepatitis is most often caused by a virus, but it can be the result of exposure to certain toxic agents, such as drugs or chemicals
Viral encephalitis - inflammation of the substance of the brain.
Chickenpox - characterized by mild headache and fever, malaise, and eruption of blisters on the skin and mucous membranes
Herpes infection
Viral Pneumonia - characterized by fever, a cough with blood-tinged phlegm, and difficult breathing
Influenza - creates respiratory symptoms and exhaustion.
Rabies - transmitted to humans by the bite of an infected animal
AIDS - caused by a retrovirus and transmitted chiefly through blood or blood products that enter the body's bloodstream
The common Cold - characterized by sneezing, sore throat, coughing, etc., caused by an allergic reaction or by a viral, bacterial, or mixed infection
Streptococcal infections - characterized by sore throat infection and inflammation
Amoebic dysentery - A gastrointestinal infection
Staphylococcal infections - the toxins are a common cause of food poisoning, as it can grow in improperly-stored food
Barbiturates, CO or pesticides or alcohol poisoning
Any toxic poisoning e.g. mercury, lead, arsenic, nickel, Aluminum - heavy metal toxicity
Radiation Toxicity - also called radiation sickness
Side effects from administration of vitamin C are negligible. Physicians in Australia have given doses up to 300,000 mg resulting in impressive recoveries and no side effects, just healthy patients. A number of terminal cancer victims received intravenous vitamin C in large amounts for eight weeks and blood tests showed no side effects.
Some conventional physicians have feared that vitamin C supplementation causes kidney stones, as the major metabolic end product of vitamin C is oxalate. And most kidney stones are calcium oxalate. But in some respected literature it has been reported otherwise. It can actually help dissolve the stones. So this area remains controversial.
