Vitamin C
As you can see from the above diagrams, if you take Vitamin C orally you can only achieve a maximum blood plasma level of about 200 umol/L. However, if you take Vitamin C intravenously you can achieve levels that are 50 times higher. In most cases it is these higher levels that are most effective in treating some serious medical issues such as sepsis.
To me the amazing thing is that, considering the paper in the section below, it took so long for someone to try high dose intravenous vitamin c to treat sepsis. The average mortality rate for sepsis is about 40% in developed countries and 60% in undeveloped countries. It seems that mortality rate can be reduced drastically by using Dr. Marik's protocol.
Vitaminc C Paper.pdfThis paper shows how Dr. Fred Klenner used high doses of vitamin C (injected or intravenous) to treat various maladies starting in the 1940's. It all sounds too good to be true. However, the work of Dr. Marik as presented in the section above this one indicates that Dr Klenner was on to something.
The jury is still out on whether or not intravenous vitamin C is useful in cancer treatment. This is a two part video with the second video posted below.
This is a continuation of the video that is posted above.
Vitamin C seems to be most helpful when used along with standard cancer treatments.
Neutrophils are a type of white blood cell that help to heal damaged tissues and resolve infections. Vitamin C is needed so that the neutrophils clear after they complete their job.
It seems that vitamin C deficiency could contribute to heart disease. In an effort to keep the cholesterol theory of heart disease alive the medical establishment has gone from blaming LDL to small LDL and now LPa (LP little a). It could be another case of blaming the fire truck for the fire because every time you see a fire there is a fire truck there. It might be that LDL (in the form of LPa) is there to fix the problem and does not cause it.
