The Glories of Vitamin C Part 2

What if an inexpensive cure for polio was presented before the AMA in 1949 and they completely ignored it because they had a vaccine underway? New boss same as old boss.

Regardless of any claims to the contrary, no one who has done a critical appraisal of the scientific literature can say anything other than “Vitamin C is one of the safest substances on earth.” -Primal Panacea by Dr. Thomas Levy pg. 72

[Important correction: In my previous vitamin C stack, I recommended a product called C-Salts because it’s more gentle on the stomach than straight ascorbic acid. However, I did not look carefully at the ingredients, and I now realize that this form of vitamin C is bound to calcium. I apologize for not doing my due diligence!

If you bought the product, it’s fine to use up the bottle. However, long-term calcium supplementation is very harmful to the body. Thomas Levy wrote an entire book on this called Death by Calcium. At my house, we will finish the product but then I’ll switch to a product where the vitamin C is bound to magnesium instead for daily use. This is still gentle on the stomach and has the extra benefit of providing magnesium. I plan to use liposomal C when we’re sick because of how much more effective the absorption is. I’ll cover liposomal in depth in part 3 next week.]

The Mind-Blowing Benefits of Vitamin C

One book that belongs on everyone’s shelf is Thomas Levy’s Curing the Incurable: Vitamin C, Infectious Diseases, and Toxins. In this meticulously researched book, Levy cites over 1,200 medical papers demonstrating vitamin C’s incredible power to cure a wide array of diseases.

This would be a good book to have on your shelf because Levy points out that the life-saving potential of high-dose vitamin C is not widely recognized in the mainstream medical community. Therefore, if a loved one takes a sudden turn for the worst, you will likely have to advocate for high-dose IV vitamin C therapy.

Because the book contains such extensive references to medical studies proving vitamin C’s safety and efficacy, it would be hard for a hospital to turn down your request. In fact, Dr. Levy wrote the book for other medical doctors and researchers and therefore used copious citations to prove his assertions. However, the text is still accessible to the common person.

From the Table of Contents of Curing the Incurable, here is a list of diseases that high-dose IV vitamin C therapy has either completely cured or lessened the severity of in numerous well-documented cases:

• Polio (Curable and Preventable)

• Additional Viral Diseases and Vitamin C

• Bacillary Dysentery (Curable and Preventable)

• Pseudomonas Infections (Curable and Preventable)

• Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF) (Curable; Preventable-?)

• Staphylococcal Infections (Curable and Preventable)

• Trypanosomal Infections (Reversible and Preventable; Curable-?)

I was excited to see strep listed up there. My crunchy mom friends and I have long wondered if there is a cure for strep other than antibiotics. After Levy documents numerous cases where vitamin C cured strep, he concludes:

Streptococcal bacterial infections appear to be very susceptible to low-dose supplemental vitamin C.

However, he means “low dose” as opposed to the tens of thousands of mg required in many infections. In the case of strep, it may need at least 4,000 mg of liposomal vitamin C spread throughout the day.

Pg. 124 states that in a paper by Kaiser and Slavin (1938):

The authors also looked at the inhibitory effect of various dilutions of vitamin C on the growth of virulent hemolytic streptococci. They found that the streptococci were completely inhibited in 21 consecutive experiments while in all instances the control bacteria grew freely. Similar results were obtained with pneumococci bacteria, a pneumonia-causing strain of streptococcal bacteria.

In chapter 3, he lists toxins that IV vitamin C can effectively neutralize:

• Alcohol (Ethanol)

• Barbiturates

• Carbon Monoxide

• Endotoxin

• Methemoglobinemia

• Fifty-One Miscellaneous Toxins

• Mushroom Poisoning

• Six Types of Pesticides

• Radiation

• Strychnine and Tetanus Toxin

• Venoms

• Trypanosomal Infections

As I mentioned in my first post on vitamin C, all viruses, bacteria, pathogens, and toxins can be described on the molecular level as stealing electrons from healthy tissues. Vitamin C has two electrons to donate to the invader which spares the body from the damage. However, the dose of the vitamin C needs to match the level of assault. This is where high-dose IV vitamin C therapy comes into play.

If all this is true, that vitamin C can cure all these things and this has been studied since the 1930s, I’m sure you’re wondering why it’s not the standard of care. To understand that, I’ll tell you the story of Frederick Klenner.

The sordid history of the high-dose vitamin C coverup

In the 1940s, a physician named Frederick Klenner pioneered the field of high-dose Iv vitamin C therapy by successfully treating many infections that are still considered incurable such as polio, tetanus, encephalitis (brain infection), and many other infectious diseases. Furthermore, he demonstrated that fatal doses of carbon monoxide, heavy metals, pesticides, and even snake bites could be rendered inert through high enough IV doses. The most amazing thing about this pioneering work is that there were no negative effects from this treatment.

Polio had risen to an epidemic in the 1940s, but Frederick Klenner was on the lookout for a cure. On June 10, 1949, he presented his work before the annual session of the American Medical Association (AMA) in Atlantic City, New Jersey. There he declared that he cured 60 out of 60 cases of Polio in 72 hours using large amounts of IV vitamin C.

He told the audience:

In the past seven years, virus infections have been treated and cured in a period of 72 hours by the employment of massive frequent injections of ascorbic acid, or vitamin C. I believe that if vitamin C in these massive doses — 6,000 to 20,000 mg in a twenty-four hour period — is given to these patients with poliomyelitis none will be paralyzed and there will be no further maiming or epidemics of poliomyelitis.”¹

But instead of the AMA applauding his work and encouraging other doctors to put further research into this, his work was completely ignored. It turns out that the polio vaccine was already underway, and that’s where the AMA had all its attention focused. The excellent article The Origin of the 42-Year Stonewall of Vitamin C published in the Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine goes into more detail about this sordid time in medical history.

Even though the medical establishment ignored Klenner’s work, he received letters from doctors all over the country who had heard about his IV vitamin C therapy and had similar success. However, they noted that smaller doses were ineffective.

But here’s a real clincher from the article. In 1954, five years after Klenner’s groundbreaking vitamin C research had been presented before the medical elites, congress appropriated $1,000,000 to find a cure for polio. 🤔 You can’t make this stuff up.

Exasperated, Klenner wrote in 1959:

To those who say that Polio is without cure, I say that they lie. Polio in the acute form can be cured in 96 hours or less. I beg of someone in authority to try it.

But no one with any clout did try it. It remained an obscure treatment that only doctors willing to think outside the box ever used.

COVID opened a lot of people’s eyes to the medical establishment's corruption but the truth is that simple, safe, and cheap treatments have been suppressed for a long time.
