Vitamin C" The Wonder Supplement

By Anju Mathur, M.D.

Wonder Cure

There is a tremendous amount of evidence in health literature that vitamin C is the most critical nutrient needed for good health and for management of and curing a great number of infectious diseases. Even if the diagnosis is not yet final or other drugs have been given, vitamin C is perhaps the most essential treatment that any patient with a disease should get. This is because vitamin C is a natural antibiotic, anti-viral, anti-toxic and immune booster.

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.

Rats and guinea pigs have an enzyme called gulonolactone oxidase which occurs naturally in their systems. This enzyme converts glucose into vitamin C. However, humans do not have this enzyme, so have to get vitamin C elsewhere.

The Process of Using Vitamin C

Dr. Klenner's observed that when vitamin C is used but seems ineffective, the problem is insufficient amounts of vitamin C administered over too short a time period. Vitamin C can be administered as an intravenous drip. It can be used to oxidize the agents that cause disease. If it runs rapidly in the drip it becomes a flash oxidizer, and many conditions are cured in minutes. In addition to relieving infections, vitamin C is also an anti-clotting agent, an anti-histamine and a toxin neutralizer.

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.

Vitamin C Use

Large doses of vitamin C intravenously have been seen to cure or prevent the following infectious and non-infectious diseases:

Chronic fatigue syndrome - Also called chronic fatigue immune dysfunction syndrome

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 - caused by a filterable virus and characterized by apathy and abnormal sleepiness; sleeping sickness

Chickenpox - characterized by mild headache and fever, malaise, and eruption of blisters on the skin and mucous membranes

Herpes infection - marked by the development of blisterlike sores on the skin or mucous membranes of the body.

Viral Pneumonia - inflammation of the lungs with congestion caused by a virus.

Influenza

Rabies - a viral disease that attacks the central nervous system and is transmitted by the bite of infected animals

AIDS - a disease of the immune system characterized by increased susceptibility to opportunistic infections

The common Cold

Streptococcal infections

Amoebic dysentery

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 (a systemic condition caused by excessive exposure to radiation, as from a nuclear explosion or accident

High doses of Vitamin C are pretty safe by record. Some terminal cancer patients were given high doses of intravenous vitamin C for up to 8 weeks. The blood count and chemistry revealed no side effects from this administration. In Australia some physicians have given up to 300,000 mg with spectacular results, the only side effect is chronic good health.

One drawback voiced by conservative doctors was that vitamin C might cause kidney stones. Their reasoning was that the result of metabolism of vitamin C is oxalate and kidney stones are composed of calcium oxalate. However, recent studies report otherwise. Vitamin C actually helps dissolve kidney stones, yet the area remains contentious.
