"Orthomolecular Medicine emphasizes natural
substances such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, essential fats, and diet in the
prevention and treatment of diseases. Food and chemical sensitivities, candida, and
parasites are considered important. Chelation for the elimination of heavy toxic metals is
utilized where needed. I am especially interested in the use of mega doses of vitamin C,
both orally and intravenously." -Robert F. Cathcart, M.D.-

Ascorbate for Burns

Comment by RFC: This is a most interesting article that reveals
the ulterior motives behind this smear on vitamin C. It is worse than I
thought. Link to the article above.

Autism is not the only brain damage done by
mercury, it lowers the I.Q. below what it would have been normally. If
you fully immunize your child, you may not have to pay for a college
education. Of course, you may have to pay for a lot for special education and
other medical problems.
-
If after reading the links, you still feel you must
vaccinate your child, make very sure that the vaccines used do not contain
mercury (the name for the mercury preservative is Thimerosal).
-
Stall as long as you can so that the child's immune system
can mature more before it is insulted. Wait until the child is at least 2
years old.
-
Stall as long as you can so the child can get bigger.
This will lower the concentration of mercury that reaches the brain.
-
Never have your child vaccinated when she/he is even slightly
ill.
-
Never allow more than one vaccination at a time.
-
It is possible that the mercury poisoning of the immune
system makes the child susceptible to the brain and gut infection from the
live MMR vaccines.
-
Give you child lots of vitamin C before and after
vaccinations. Give at least 2 grams of ascorbic acid per year of life
(i.e. a two year old should have 4 grams spread out for the day.)
Chewable sodium ascorbate, while not as good as ascorbic acid, is better than
nothing. Then for maintenance and for trying to pull out some of
the mercury in their brain over the long-run, give one gram per year of life
up to 10 grams a day the rest of their life. If there are signs of brain
damage then see a physician who knows how to chelate out mercury.
Substances such as DMSA, DMPS, alpha lipoic acid may be helpful. Do not
use alpha lipoic acid unless you know what you are doing because it can, under
certain circumstances, take mercury into the brain.
-
Especially if your child has been immunized and shows some
brain abnormality, it would be wise not to allow mercury amalgam dental
fillings.
-
-
Another factor with hepatitis B is to realize that it is a
very benign disease if properly treated with massive doses of ascorbate, alpha
lipoic acid, silymarin, vitamin E, selenium and other supportive nutrients.
You have to have a physician available who knows how to and is willing to
utilize these nutrients, of course.
-
A major factor which should be considered if you know how to
use massive doses of ascorbic acid orally is that
these diseases being vaccinated against can all be ameliorated so effectively
that the vaccinations are hardly worth bothering with.
Even polio can be cured if you have access to a physician
who would give intravenous and intramuscular sodium ascorbate. The
major problem here is finding a physician who could use intravenous sodium
ascorbate in a hospital. From the legal point a view, it would be
difficult to utilize this treatment outside a hospital except when the
symptoms were early and still mild. One of the major problems is that
with very seriously ill patients with infectious diseases, those that need the
ascorbate most of all, also may need ancillary treatment available only in the
hospitals. 99 out of 100 hospitals prevent the use of the needed massive doses
of ascorbate.
-
Finally, I thought that hell would freeze over before
Sloan-Kettering would admit that vitamin C was good for anything. But how
many generations and how many deaths will be necessary before it is admitted
that ascorbate is useful as part of the treatment of almost all diseases.
This almost universal benefit is because massive doses of ascorbate neutralize
massive amounts of free radicals and free radicals mediate all inflammations.
Most acute infectious diseases can be cured if the free radicals are eliminated.
-
I guess this is step one in plagiarizing what we in
orthomolecular medicine have known for some time ever since
-
Hugh Riordan, M.D. described this.
I wonder if they will give him some credit finally. I suppose that we
should be thankful that hundreds of thousands of lives, billions of dollars, and
more than 10 years too late that someone associated with the orthodox government
organization recognizes all this.
His book, Medical Pioneer of the 20th
Century, Describes how acute induced scurvy is the cause of SIDS
(Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.) His constant fight with the medical establishment in
Australia and their refusal to listen to the obvious which would save thousands of infants
is recorded. Describes how innocent people are unjustly jailed for the shaken baby syndrome. Describes the injustice of the Australian Nanny case (the most famous case of shaken baby
syndrome.) Describes many other nutritional problems of the Aboriginal children
which are also present in white children all over the world.
See the above book by Archie Kalokerinos, M.D., Medical Pioneer of the 20th Century,
who has shown that SIDS is caused by acute induced scurvy. Why is this not investigated?
As far as I know there have never been any studies that refute this claim. Is
admitting that large doses of ascorbate that terrible? In the reference by Hattersley
above one can see the massive number of references on this subject in the literature.
This hiding of the efficacy of ascorbate is going from the ridiculous to the
sublime.
The proposed studies are fraught
with possibilities of not making it work if previous patterns of investigating ascorbate
are utilized. One of the frequent problems of investigators who have contacted me
about investigating ascorbate is that the investigational committees, ethics committee, or
pharmacy committee will not allow the investigator to use adequate doses of ascorbate
thereby insuring failure of the project. To learn how to treat many cancers with
ascorbate, the investigators should contact Hugh Riordan, M.D. Refusing to do
that I would suggest no less than 60-120 grams of sodium ascorbate intravenously rapidly
infused at a rate of 60 grams in 2 to 3 hours every day for several months. As the
tumor resolves, the infusions may possibly be dropped to 2 times a week for a long time.
One caution is that if the patient has not been taking ascorbate orally in fairly
large doses, they should be started on oral ascorbic acid very slowly if there is
widespread metastasis. This caution is because about one out of 100 tumors will
suddenly drop dead at the sight of ascorbate and the sudden death of a large tumor mass
may kill the patient. This caution was noted in Cameron and Pauling's Vitamin C and
Cancer. Additionally, I would suggest a overall nutritional support plan that Hugh
Riordan, M.D. could help with. Especially important in addition to the basic
nutrients is alpha lipoic acid 100 mg 3 times a day.
This paper is important when one is thinking about how ascorbate could selectively kill
cancer and not normal cells. Normal cells have catalase and cancer
cells do not.
WHO Says One
Polio Strain Eradicated but there are 2 strains remaining affecting more than 28,000
cases a year. Why are not the more than 28,000 cases a year treated with intravenous sodium ascorbate which would
cure most of them? You know, of course, that how to cure polio was published in 1949?
You didn't know that? I wonder why not. There has never been a paper to
counter Klenner's clinical observations. I wonder why not.
-
Here we go again, another hemorrhagic fever. These are diseases that
involve so many free radicals rapidly that they cause an acute induced scurvy
situation and bleeding starts all over the body. The hemorrhagic fevers
can be countered with massive doses of intravenous sodium
ascorbate. However, recognition of this fact would bring the general
public to the conclusion that massive doses of ascorbate would be helpful in all
infectious diseases and that would be a financial disaster for all the drug
companies. Remember that polio was cured back in 1948
and that was kept secrete because of the polio industry. The problem
is now that if some country such as Iran listened to all this, it would not take
a genius to figure out that ascorbate would be a very important weapon in
bacteriologic warfare. Again I make the offer that if any allied military
source or, like for instance, the CDC will listen to all this and do something
about it for the benefit of the public, I will take all references to this of
the website. So far, no takers. One of these days, either
deliberately or accidentally, one of these hemorrhagic fevers is going pandemic
and we are going to be caught with our pants down when the solution is so easy.
Are the profits of the drug companies all that important?
-
It is too bad that this woman was not treated with massive doses of
intravenous sodium ascorbate. This would have undoubtedly taken care of
this problems shortly. The spider bite itself would have been
immediately detoxified, any allergic reaction would have been blocked, and any
infection would be more rapidly eliminated. Even if antibiotics were
necessary to treat an infection the spectrum of activity of the antibiotic
would be broadened and any allergic reaction to the antibiotic would be
blocked. See the comment on the next entry.
See the part of the article by Klenner on spider
bites.
-
If you love animals, you should read this. And when you
realize that this works in dogs and other animals, why is it not used with
humans. It is interesting that these findings are being made in a
different continent, Australia. It appears that facts are facts in every
part of the world. I have had the experience in treating a warehouse
worker with a recluse spider bite where he would have sloughed out down to bone
part of his forearm where bitten. However, because of massive doses of
vitamin C, you could not see where he was bitten in 24 hours.
ECSTACY
-
Although this study was done on rats (an ascorbate producing
animal) anything that works on rats should work even better in humans. The
brain of a human who takes ecstacy cannot be proportionately much larger than a
rat (rats are smart enough not to take ecstacy voluntarily) but in addition,
since humans do not make ascorbate, they should be benefited even more than
rats.
-

This disease would undoubtedly be ameliorated by massive doses
of intravenous sodium ascorbate. This is because step toxin seems
neutralized instantly by sufficient doses of ascorbate. I come to this
conclusion because of my experience with strep throats and scarlet fever.
It turns out that the usual case of scarlet fever is the easiest disease of all
to cure with massive doses of ascorbate. This is because scarlet fever is
caused by a allergic reaction to a minute amount of step toxin released by a
strep infection which has been left over from an infection which is usually
already gone. The ascorbate instantly neutralizes that minute amount of
strep toxin so that the disease immediately resolves, sometimes in 15 minutes.
In the case of these flesh eating rashes caused by streptococcus, the massive
doses of ascorbate would have to be administered until the disease resolves
because the infection continues to release toxin until the bacteria is killed.
Massive doses of ascorbate also has the advantage of broadening the spectrum of
activity of penicillin and prevents allergic reactions to penicillin. I
would recommend starting with at least 180 grams of sodium ascorbate (60 grams
in 500 cc lactated Ringers in 8 hours 3 times a day). The dosage should be
increased and given more rapidly if the rash and fever does not resolve in a few
hours. It is possible that the rate should be increased to 60 grams in 500
cc of lactated Ringers in 4 hours or even more rapidly if necessary.
-
In cases where there is some other bacteria involved rather
than or in addition to streptococcus, the massive doses of ascorbate would
neutralize free radicals preventing free radical deaths
if the ascorbate is given soon enough and fast enough. It would increase
the spectrum of activity of the appropriate antibiotics and prevent allergic
reactions to them.

RFC comment: Same as above. The complications of therapy
are remarkably ameliorated and the immune system is augmented in its fight against HIV.
Vitamin C and AIDS, Articles by Robert Cathcart, M.D.
-
-
The increasing interesting thing is why, with all the talk about massive
doses of vitamin C, particularly massive doses of
intravenous sodium ascorbate, being useful in the treatment of acute infectious diseases,
won't anyone try to treat these infectious diseases with those massive doses.
The answer is obvious, to protect the interests of the drug industry.
The genocidal drug companies have managed to get CODEX passed in Europe and it
will not be long before they try it in the United States. They have got
to outlaw vitamins before the public finds out the truth about how many
diseases can be cured with them.
Wouldn't be nice to demonstrate how rapidly these patients would get
well on massive doses of intravenous sodium ascorbate
along with the standard antibiotic treatments. That would eliminate all
the free radicals that cause most of the symptoms and death. Although
these cases apparently are not part of a bioterrorist attack, it would be very
useful to demonstrate the effectiveness of this ascorbate treatment in case of
a bioterrorist attack. Plague could be mixed with some respiratory
disease to make it spread rapidly and millions would die if massive doses of
intravenous ascorbate were not used. But the trouble is that if this
were demonstrated, it would be apparent how effective massive doses of
intravenous ascorbate was in all acute infectious diseases and this would be a
financial disaster for all the drug industry.
Note by RFC: All of these severe acute infectious diseases do
great damage and kill partly because of free radicals. If these free radicals are
eliminated the disease runs a short, more benign course. This neutralization of the
deadly free radicals can be accomplished by intravenous
sodium ascorbate. I would think that 120 to 180 grams of sodium ascorbate
intravenously per 24 hours until much better followed by bowel tolerance doses of ascorbic acid for
several more days until the patient feels well would be indicated. This will not
conflict with the appropriate antibiotic and make allergic reactions to the antibiotic
non-existent.
These patients should be given intravenous vitamin C along with the
standard treatments including antibiotics where indicated. The IVC would ameliorate
the disease considerably and probably save some lives. Sufficiently large amounts of
ascorbate easily cross the blood brain barrier and protect the brain and spinal cord from
free radical damage.
This disease is made more deadly because of the "acute induced scurvy"
involved. This means that intravenous sodium ascorbate and
later bowel tolerance
doses of ascorbic acid should be administered along with the appropriate
antibiotic. Not only does the ascorbate broaden the spectrum of activity of the
antibiotics against bacteria and works synergistically with the antibiotic, but it avoids allergic
reactions to the antibiotic. The susceptibility of sick people to
allergic reactions is because of the up-regulation of the immune system while you are
sick. This up-regulation is caused by free radicals. If the free radicals are
neutralized by massive doses of ascorbate, the immune system, as far as allergic reactions
are concerned, is down-regulated so that allergic reactions to the antibiotics do not
occur. However, unlike steroids that universally down-regulate the immune system,
ascorbate up-regulates the ability of white cells to kill viruses and bacteria.
The incidence of meningitis "surges" after the flu because the acute induced scurvy
induced by the flu decreases the ability of the body to fight off the meningitis bacteria.
- This article is interesting because it is cost accounting the
value of human lives. It is ironic in that a disease that can be treated with
intravenous sodium ascorbate in combination with the appropriate antibiotics is being
considered too expensive to vaccinate against because more die of road accidents,
suicides, and AIDS. Ok, but when a case of meningitis occurs, why not treat it with
ascorbate? There have to be some hidden costs of treating with ascorbate for them
not to use it. Cannot we see around the possible profit to a drug company.
Would it be so terrible to treat the dying cases with ascorbate. OK, OK, if you
cured a case of meningitis with IVC, it might occur to a child that IVC might cure a lot
of other things, so I guess we have to accept these deaths. Too bad.
Ascorbic acid in large
doses orally will ameliorate measles. In cases where there is inflammation of
the brain, intravenous sodium ascorbate
should be used. These types of diseases kill by way of free radicals. This is
a very simple situation to solve. You just give massive doses of ascorbate in
sufficient amounts to provide the electrons to neutralize the free radicals. The
person's immune system then makes short work of the virus. This works with all acute
self-limiting viral diseases because they all kill or cause symptoms and complications
with free radicals.
The president of one of the companies that I have worked with in the past
told me this story: In 1976, he and his friend went to a conference in
Philadelphia. A few days after he came home, he came down with what he thought was
bronchitis. He said that he thought that it would be a good time to try
"Cathcart's titrating to bowel tolerance" with vitamin C. So he began
taking ascorbic acid in large doses (actually he did not get to tolerance at first).
The next day he was not well but he was still working. So he raised the dose.
Still no diarrhea; he was not well but still working. Then he heard that his friend
had died!!! He went to his doctor who tested his blood and prescribed him
erythromycin. The first dose made him so sick that he did not take more
erythromycin. He increased the dose of C and after a few days was all well.
The blood work had come back by this time and it showed he had had Legionnaire's
disease. The conference he had gone to was that famous Legionnaire's meeting.
His friend had died of the disease.
OK gang, why don't you try this? With a death rate of 20%-50% what
could it hurt? Those who are not yet hospitalized can try the titrating to bowel tolerance method (Do see
your doctor and take his prescription probably of erythromycin.) However, if you
are in the hospital and can get your physician's cooperation, be given intravenous sodium ascorbate.
Recovery should be quite rapid. It cannot hurt and may save your life. There
is no conflict between ascorbate and antibiotics and the ascorbate will, most probably,
block any true allergic reaction to the antibiotic.
-
Maybe it should be treated like murder but who is the murderer?
Maybe it should be those who refused to investigate the healing power of
intravenous sodium ascorbate. With all the talk
about ascorbate curing viral diseases even by the likes of Linus Pauling, how
dare the investigators refuse to do even one study on massive doses of
ascorbate. Easy, they want to protect the profits of the drug industry at
any cost of lives.
-
Let them die on and on, anything but letting the public know
how infectious diseases in general can be cured with massive doses of ascorbate.
Feed the public studies on ridiculously low doses of ascorbate to prove it is of
no value. Anything to protect the profits of the drug industry.
-
In the case of Legionjaire's disease, it is not just the
theoretical fact that if you neutralize all the free radicals caused by a
disease that the disease will be cured, it is that in this case we actually have
a case where a patient used massive doses of ascorbic acid orally who recovered
uneventfully. In a crisis massive doses of intravenous sodium ascorbate
will be more effective. Let's see which is more important in Great
Britain, the lives of these patients or the profits of the
drug companies.
The massive doses of ascorbate almost always prevents secondary
infections.
This disease involves free radicals. Therefore, massive doses of ascorbate would
ameliorate the disease. During the acute phase of the disease sodium ascorbate intravenously would
markedly decrease the symptoms. The appropriate antibiotics should be utilized.
The ascorbate will eliminate allergic reactions to the antibiotics. Later,
maintenance bowel tolerance doses of
ascorbic acid should be utilized.
The Defense Department should really learn how to use massive doses of
ascorbate. It would certainly be of help in some of these circumstances described.
I do not have experience with malaria but massive doses of ascorbate are bound to
ameliorate the disease. It might be that with malaria, the use of massive doses of
ascorbate would broad the spectrum of activity of the appropriate antibiotics as it does
with resistant bacterial diseases. I do have the experience to say that massive
doses of ascorbate will cure acute self-limiting viral diseases. Ascorbate in
massive doses will cure or ameliorate a disease in proportion to how important free
radicals are in the perpetuation or symptoms of the disease. The secret of the
massive doses is that we are throwing away the vitamin C for the electrons carried by the
vitamin C. We are wasting much of the vitamin C for the electrons carried.
When free radicals are surrounded by a sufficient reducing redox potential (free
electrons), they are neutralized. This is a matter of chemistry. It always
works.
Since acute hepatitis A, B, C, etc., is easily cured with massive doses of
ascorbate, intravenously and with
follow-up with oral ascorbic acid, it is
tragic that it is not properly utilized. Hepatitis C is a special problem because
only about a quarter of cases present as acute (when it would be easily cured).
Chronic hepatitis C is more of a problem, however with massive doses of ascorbic acid orally, a no
sugar diet, vitamin E, selenium, silymarin, and alpha lipoic acid among other nutrients, I have never seen a case to go onto acute hepatic
necrosis or cancer of the liver.
-
If
massive doses of sodium ascorbate are used intravenously, it will invariably
prevent free radical deaths and ameliorate
or cure the disease. What is important in this case is that massive
doses of ascorbate vastly broadens the spectrum of activity of antibiotics while
preventing allergic reactions to those same antibiotics. By neutralizing
the free radicals in the tissues involved in the disease, swelling which cuts
down on circulation allows better penetration of the antibiotic but more
importantly reverses the acute induced scurvy in the involved tissues so that
the patients own white cells can resume fighting the infection effectively.
-
It does not matter what the cause of the fever is, if
massive doses of sodium ascorbate are used intravenously, it will invariably
prevent free radical deaths and ameliorate
or cure the disease. The ascorbate should be started even before the
definitive diagnosis is made. If after the definitive diagnosis is made
there is anything left of the disease (it is likely to have been cured by this
time) then the standard treatment can be added to the ascorbate treatment.
The ascorbate would even block any allergic reactions to any necessary
antibiotics. Let's see if the British value their soldiers more than the
profits of the drug companies. I will not hold my breath but if anyone
wants to consult on this, I am available to allied military.
-
So, the organism has been identifies as a virus. This means that
antibiotics will do no good. Believe me, it would be cheaper to give these
men a couple of days of intravenous sodium ascorbate
in a field hospital than to ship them out somewhere. Their recovery would
be very rapid and reliable. But they will use drugs, after all this is the
point, sell drugs.
So here is one of these diseases that kill by overwhelming the victim with free
radicals. Now it is here in California. What harm could there
possibly be in neutralizing all those free radicals with massive doses of ascorbate?
IVC followed by bowel tolerance doses of ascorbic acid by mouth
would be obviously beneficial.
- Hopefully, these mice that do not make ascorbate will help some "scientists"
understand the use of massive doses of ascorbate. If what we already know works in
humans (anecdotal evidence) can be made to work in mice, THAT IS SCIENCE.
- Are we going to go through another season of people dying of a
disease that could certainly be ameliorated by massive doses of ascorbic acid by mouth
and, where necessary, intravenous sodium ascorbate?
- Note that in this disease animals usually survive where 40% of humans die. The
animals, of course, have sense enough to make ascorbate in large amounts. Humans
cannot make ascorbate in their bodies but can make it in their chemical plants but
so far most lack the intelligence to take it in large amounts necessary to cure diseases
such as this..
- While this report is about the danger in the UK it is concluded that the danger is
greater in the U.S. I can guarantee that if physicians would learn how to use
massive doses of ascorbate, the deaths and injuries from such an attack would be less.
- The question is whether his doctors will give intravenous C and whether, if others in
the hospital start dying, will they be given intravenous C. Will they allow the acute induced scurvy kill him?
- Here it comes again. Will they use adequate doses of sodium ascorbate intravenously this time to
cure the acute induced scurvy that makes
the disease frequently fatal. By adequate doses of sodium ascorbate, I mean around
180 Grams of sodium ascorbate intravenously every 24 hours until the patient is well.
Low doses will not work except if they use low doses and it fails, the study would
be a publishable paper. The high, adequate doses in the past have not been
publishable but maybe one of these years.......... The reason it takes such huge
doses is that the massive amounts of free radicals made by these diseases that cause acute
induced systemic scurvy are so great that it takes massive doses of ascorbate at a rapid
rate to neutralize the free radicals being produced at a rapid rate. Small doses
will not accomplish this. Why is that so difficult to understand?
- No kidding, why don't they use massive doses of ascorbate (the cheapest and most
effective antioxidant) that I have known for years to be effective against asthma.
We had better quit ignoring the Massive Doses of Vitamin C cures of many
of these diseases before it is too late. Even if an epidemic broke out which was 90%
fatal, it would take too long for the medical profession to get its act together. I
do not look forward to a small population of vitamin C takers left to populate the world.
In the US the worst is yet to come . This epidemic
is totally unnecessary because we can cure the flu with massive doses of ascorbic acid orally and, in the worst
cases (or cases who also have ulcers, gastritis, etc., preventing taking adequate dose of
ascorbic acid), with intravenous sodium
ascorbate. The flu virus damages mitochondria in the affected tissues which
cause the mitochondria to make free radicals. These free radicals damage adjacent
mitochondria which cause them to make more free radicals. A free radical cascade
results. This massive amount of free radicals destroys all the vitamin C in the
affected tissues. Without vitamin C the white cells cannot eat up the viruses.
The only thing that saves most is that after a week or so, the antibodies destroy the
viruses. Antibodies are turned on by
free radicals. In the meantime, the "acute induced scurvy " in the affected
tissues may result in pneumonia, sinusitis, otitis media, etc. All this can be
averted with massive doses of ascorbate. What we are doing with the truly massive
doses of ascorbate is throwing away the vitamin C for the electrons carried by the vitamin
C. We are driving the electrons in high concentration (forcing a reducing redox
potential) into the affected tissues and neutralizing the free radicals.
Incidentally, it also provides enough vitamin C in the affected tissues so that the white
cells come out fighting mad and destroy the viruses immediately. This phenomenon is
a threshold phenomenon: a high enough concentration of ascorbate and its electrons must be
achieved, and then suddenly the free radicals are neutralized. Lesser doses will not
accomplish this. If done properly, the massive doses of ascorbate will cure the
disease.
For God's sake, they can use intravenous sodium ascorbate and stop this
carnage. These patients should be given up to three bottles of 60 grams of sodium
ascorbate per 24 hours until they are much better, then continue bowel tolerance doses of ascorbic acid
until well. If the doctors will not give the sodium ascorbate intravenously then
take the bowel tolerance doses of ascorbic acid by mouth and if you have a strong stomach,
it will probably save your life.
This Flu is obviously causing Acute Induced Scurvy
and this causes the spread into bronchitis, pneumonia, etc., and we will be very lucky if
there are no deaths among some elderly. All this could be averted with massive doses
of ascorbic acid orally or in severe
cases intravenous sodium ascorbate.
Comment by RFC: The Medical Tribune, which
under the guidance of the great humanitarian and medical prophet Arthur M. Sackler, M.D.,
followed my early work on vitamin C ( 1,
2, 3), is still in the forefront in
reporting the importance of nutritional and integrative medicine ( 1, 2).
Acute Induced Systemic Scurvy Watch
Comment by RFC: Note in all of these cases that develop into a hemorrhagic fever,
the toxicity of the disease is so severe as to deplete all of the bodies of vitamin C,
this results in acute induced systemic scurvy which results in hemorrhaging from many
tissues of the body. The administration of
intravenous vitamin C in combination with the standard treatments for the disease
would reduce the fatality rates of these diseases. In all these diseases, if the
serum vitamin C were to be measured, it would be found to be zero. This then results
in the breakdown of all tissues requiring collagen which includes blood vessels.
Hemorrhage results (a classic sign of scurvy.)
Viral
Hemorrhagic Fevers, 15 viral diseases in 4 families of viruses
have been classified as hemorrhagic fevers. What they have in common is that they
all suddenly deplete all of the victims vitamin C causing acute induced systemic scurvy.

Comment by RFC: Note that these classic cases of
scurvy are the result of chronic deficiency of vitamin C. Imagine what happens when
a severe infectious diseasse wipes out all of the vitamin C in the body in a few
hours. The capillaries hemorrhage all over the body. Some patients with a
disease such as Dengue Fever, if they started out in very good health or have early
treatment, etc., may not go onto the hemorrhagic stage; but if the disease is able to
totally deplete the vitamin C of the body, shortly the hemorrhages start and the white
cells cannot fight the virus. Death is almost certain unless the acute systemic
scurvy is treated with massive doses of C. The doses have to be massive because the
massive amounts of free radicals generated by the disease process destroy the vitamin C at
such a rate that the doses based upon the usual concepts of how vitamin C should be
administered are many times inadequate.

- Note that the variable results of some of the studies referred to all can
be explained by the size of the doses used. We now know that it is
better to overdose, especially with any acute problem, because vitamin C is
non toxic and cheap. Therefore, use a massive dose and it works.
Pauling's last book, How to Live Longer and Feel Better, refers to my
work with bowel tolerance ascorbic acid in seven pages. He had become
convinced of the value of the massive doses. The
importance of the increasing bowel tolerance phenomenon is that it reveals
the magnitude of the free radicals
generated by various disease, injury and toxic conditions. Therefore the
varying massive doses of ascorbate to neutralize those
free radicals.
