"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

Because of all the burns in New York and at the Pentagon, I would like to try again to tell the medical profession, if they would listen, how so much misery and how many infections and deaths could be averted if intravenous and topical sodium ascorbate would be used in the treatment of severe burns.  Note that in the above link to Klenner's article, he refers to the ascorbate used as ascorbic acid.  Actually, he means sodium ascorbate for intravenous and topical use.  This difference is caused by previous labeling practices.

Cause and Treatment of SIDS Found and Suppressed

Archie Kalokerinos, M.D.

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.

 

The Answer to Crib Death “Sudden Infant Death Syndrome” (SIDS) by Joseph G. Hattersley

Cause Of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Remains Elusive

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.

New insights into the physiology and pharmacology of vitamin C with suggestions about investigating intravenous ascorbate in the treatment of cancer.

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.

Proof versus plausibility: rules of engagement for
the struggle to evaluate alternative cancer
therapies

The in vitro cytotoxicity of ascorbate depends on the culture medium used to perform the assay and involves hydrogen peroxide.

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.

Polio Cured with Intravenous Vitamin C

POLIO CURED IN 1948

Fred Klenner, M.D. Cured Polio in 1948 with Intravenous Sodium Ascorbate.

 

 

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.

Measles Kills 45 in India; May Be New Type

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.


Legionnaire's Disease

Legionnaire's Disease - Probable Cure

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.

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.)
