Intravenous Vitamin C Saves NZ Man with Flu Damaged Lung
Filed Under Body Alkaline, Cancer, Natural Healing, Natural Solutions, Nutrition
A 56 year old male was referred to Auckland Hospital ICU on 1 July 2009 with total respiratory failure, for ECMO external oxygenation. The patient had contracted H1N1 Swine flu (confirmed by tests) while on holiday overseas, and had developed what is known as ‘white out’ pneumonia. This refers to x-rays showing no air space in the lungs.
After 20 days of life-sustaining ECMO treatment and other critical care, the patient, who was unconscious by induced coma, had not responded. The ICU team advised the family of the likely outcome and had prepared them for the possibility of the patient’s death.
Family members approached Centre for Advanced Medicine Limited (CAM) for advice on the clinical use of intravenous vitamin C for such cases.
At the family’s request, information was provided to ICU doctors including ISO 9001:2008 registered protocols, safety data, dosages and access to vials of IV vitamin C under CAM’s license for wholesale medicines.
The ICU team agreed to administer intravenous vitamin C according to the family’s wishes. This decision acknowledged the family’s rights, in compliance with the New Zealand Health and Disability Act, 1997.
The patient received intravenous vitamin C starting on the evening of 21 July, continuing until 29 July. 25 grams was provided on the first day increasing over the first three days to 50 grams twice daily which was sustained for a further six days.
By 24 July x-rays indicated increasing lung function and ECMO external oxygenation was discontinued on 26 July. After several days of assisted ventilation and critical care for ongoing secondary conditions, the patient was able to commence his recovery and rehabilitation.
The patient was discharged from hospital on Friday 18 September, and is recovering at home on the farm.
The decision by the Auckland Hospital ICU team to administer adequate dosages of IV vitamin C, and their skillful coordination of ICU procedures, were responsible for the positive medical outcome.
Permission from the patient and his family has been sought by CAM to publish these details on its website and elsewhere in the interests of accuracy. This permission was willingly provided and CAM expresses its thanks, admiration and respect.
CAM welcomes opportunities to provide similar professional support for registered medical practitioners and their patients.

Not surprised a bit but I’m assuming that conventional allopathic remedies were discontinued prior to and during the Vit C drip for them to make the claim that the patient responded to the C and not the prior treatment.
And Linus Pauling told me he would take 16 grams daily when well and up to 110g/day when ill.

It is reassuring to know that there are intelligent professionals in this world who can look beyond the limitations of traditional medicine to the new and ever expanding research and results obtainable with nutrition and knowledge of the body and its true needs.
Sad to say, I don’t think this could have happened in America, where our physicians, for the most part, are totally invested in their block-headed know-best viewpoint of drugs and surgery.
Maybe this case will help enlighten them. One can only hope…..

Are there hospitals or medical centers that would provide such treatment in the U.S. upon request? Would viatamin C help against the flu virus if taken orally before the infection had spread to the lungs? And if so, what would be the recommended safe dosage.

I don’t have answer, but do have another question concerning this person who “contractied swine flu”. My daughter in-law, that was pregnant at the time, got the swine flu and she said that it wasn’t any different than any other flu. My question is I wondered if this man had received
the “vaccine” before going “overseas on holiday”. My husband “elected” to get the regulare flu vaccine several months ago and has had nothing but health issues ever since. Lots of lung issues, like severe allergic symptoms and asthma and now has been exposed to a co-worker that was so sick, so now he is very, very sick. He is coughing up red mucus and was running 103.6 fever last nigh. Today, it’s been 101.5 all day. His immune system is compromised, I think/believe it’s b/c of that “vaccine” he chose to get! I’m pissed!!

Jeanne,
Put him on 5g per day of whole food vitamin C not straight L-ascorbic acid. Also add 1g of calcium lactate (standard process or biotics research brands) spread out over the day and you’ll notice the fever drop. Then research topics such as MMS/chlorine dioxide and natural methods for aluminum and mercury removal. Just my opinion.

I found out about the wonders of Vitamin C when I had my throat close off while taking an IV drip of steroids for Multiple Sclerosis. After this happened I was at the end of what allopathic medicine had to treat me. I decided to go another route mixing eastern, allopathic, naturopathic and energy medicine together. Vitamin C and Vitamin D have become my mainstays. I use what many would consider mega doses and now make sure my vitamin c is done lypospheric or lyposomal vitamin c to bypass the digestive track. I am very pleased with the results.
I do wonder if any hospital system in the US would try drips of Vitamin C for different medical procedures. I would be in line no doubt. Thanks for the info.

I AM NOT AT ALL SURPRISED WITH THE RESULTS OF THE VITAMIN C IV ADMINISTRATION IN THIS CASE. I RAN AN INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE CLINIC IN ARIZONA FOR SEVERAL YEARS WHERE THE IV ADMINISTRATION OF VIT.C, IN THESE DOSES, WAS ROUTINE IN THE TREATMENT OF A VERIETY OF CASES WITH SIMILAR RESULTS. I NEVER CEASE TO BE AMAZED AT THE REFUSAL OF ALLOPATHIC MEDICINE, PARTICULARLY IN THE U.S. TO RECOGNIZE THE EFFICACY OF SOME OF THESE ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE TREATMENTS. MAYBE THEY ARE VISITED MUCH TOO OFTEN BY BIG PHARMA REPS.

There are several doctors who do IV vitamin C therapy. Some are trained through the Riordan Center in Wichita,KS and some are trained through the Integrative Medicine Department at the University of Kansas Medical School. There is a book written by Dr. Thomas E. Levy entitled “Curing the Incurable” which is probably the most documented book on Vitamin C therapy. The American College for the Advancement of Medicine (ACAM) is another source for physicians who give IV Vitamin C.

I saw a video a while ago,in my chiropractor’s office, discussing IV mega doses of C for the treatment of cancer…does anyone know anything further (if it is true, how 7 where there are doctors/ healthecare practitioners, who offer this??? Until now I’ve been unable to track that info …..and not heard @ IV C mega dosing discussed.

I am not sure if mega dosing of vitamin C is as effective. The intravenous vitamin C can bypass your digestive system and go directly into your bloodstream. But the information you are looking for is probably on the cancertutor website.

ACAM(the American College for Advanced of Medicine) is on the net. Google it and you can find member doctors and other nutrition specialists in your area.IV vit C can administer in much larger doses than can be taken orally. Studies are being done at Univ. CO medical school on IV vitC for cancer treatment. Dr. Julian Whitaker used vit c IV to cure advanced Lyme disease in 72 hrs.I take
3 grams daily and have not been sick for more than 5 years. I also take 1-2g of Vit D3 daily against all flu. Good luck.

Rachel:
About two years ago, the Canadian Medical Association Journal published an article on IV administered Vitamin C to five terminally-ill lung cancer patients who were told that conventional treatment could not do anything for them. They were then subjected to an experimental treatment of IV Vitamin C injections. The impressive results were published in the Journal so it is no secret. However there has been no follow-up news. An interesting web site is cancertutor.com.

We routinely use intravenous vitamin C nutrient infusions in our animal patients, ranging from cats to horses. The conditions treated also vary from routine asthma or allergic conditions to cancer. We actually cooperated with the Riordan Center in 2006 looking at tumor marker levels in our patients before and after therapy. The results are/were very interesting. I belive that in our cancer patients, there is a definite prolongation to life and a dramatic improvement in the quality of that life when used as a stand alone therapy or in conjunction with standard medical protocol. Despite the improvements noted in our patients, our colleagues still question the validity to the results.

The integrative program at KU Med is studying IV Vitamin C: http://integrativemed.kumc.edu/ivvitaminc.htm

5000 IU vit D-3 to prevent flu, go to 10,000 if already exposed or if you contract it anyway.
Vitamin C IV therapy is available at several clinics in America as well as Tijuana.
Cancer Centers of America may be the name of a group that includes IV in its alternative therapies

Been taking up 3,000 mg of Vitamin C and 400 iu of vitamin E daily for 30 years and have much better health than my dad and uncle did (RIP).
[Reply]
I am also a big fan of vitamin c. It- is an excellent anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal vitamin. The mineral ascorbate version of vitamin c is what really ended the polio epidemic decades ago – not the shot.
[Reply]
I’m not at all surprised,I have been taking about 8 grams of C(ascorbic acid powder)for the last 8 years…I haven’t had a cold since then.
I used to get colds every year like everyone else,so there must be something to this stuff.
Linus Pauling(winner of two Nobel prizes)lived to about 93,he took 18 grams per day.
[Reply]
Vitamin C is a key factor in a healthy and able white blood cell content. It goes hand in hand with Vitamin D. We normally synthesize Vit D from sunlight. When the cold comes that production stops (as we no longer have skin exposed to the UV rays) and we become more susceptible to viruses like flu. Thus it is important to find other ways to get C and D into your system. Milk is one for D, I like calcium that is Vit D coated. Apple Cider Vinegar is an awesome dietary supplement. Along those lines, I personally theorize that taking the same vitamins every day at the same time is actually detrimental to their effects. In nature, meals come and go at different times and in different ways. Thus the organic body is better tuned to a randomness of vitamin intake rather than static. Just a thought/theory.

Vit C but also E, I swear (82) never ill
And DHEA , PSA 0.3 like a 30 year old healthy man. – I followed US Patentb 6194400 – read the end sqaying EXAMPLES.
aND i DO ALSO : Little spoon FLAXSEED – GRINDED like coffee, 2 times a week for the Laetrile B-17 in it
Fantastic
I gave it to my father in Law (92) for his prostate cancer and the PSA went from 62 to 12.

I told a friend with osteo cancer, very painful but he started laughing and choosed Chemo and died.
In Europe 92 % of all doctors refuse Chemo and vaccinations and dangerous x-rays on Breast etc
That’s all I know . . . .
No a little thing more
ALL additions work better when you apply it in wave form
like monday a half, tuesday One wensday the 2 which was subscibed and then back agin

Pat Coleby recommends Vit C IV for snakebite spiderbite and for vaccination reactions.
Its been used by humans too, on redback spiderbites for one case I read of.
Apparently it stops the damage caused by the toxins and even the racehorse industry has people who have used it with success.
I keep 2 bottles in case of emergency in my fridge. Human sources cost a mint, IF you can get it.
ridiculous!
animal use is $15 or so Au
snakebite treatment at a vets is $1,000+ and little hope offered for dogs, cats fare better.
Once again the Hypocrisy(gee its risky, but seeing as your’e nearly dead, ok you can try it…) of Chemical medicine over Natural substances or derivitaves of, is shown.

For those of you seeking more info on the efficacy of Vit C treatment please look at What Doctors Dont Tell You website. Run by a woman called Lynne McTagart http://www.wddty.com
Her husbands mother was recieving conventional treatment for cancer, breast I think and had been told there was no more that could be done for her.She was sent to a Vit C practitioner in the states and as far as I know made an amazing recovery.I also have a friend currently reciveing Vit C treatment for liver cancer and is recovering. Also check out Phillip Day at eclub@campaignfortruth.com where I believe she is recieving this treatment.He is based in the UK but travels all around the world and has an online forum and I beleive you can call him direct at certain times for free advice.Just do it! Good luck NM

I personally take 9grams of vitamin c in capsule form daily (3x 1000mg with each meal) as recommended by my medical doctor, along with a weekly 50gram vitamin c/alpha lipoic acid intravenous treatment.
As well, I take one packet of lypo-spheric vitamin C with an alpha lipoic acid capsule and a vitamin K3 capsule mid morning, mid afternoon, mid evening.
All are part of an alternative protocol I use for non Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
One of the most successful outcomes I have personally witnessed where intravenous vitamin c was used as a natural cancer treatment took place several years ago when a man declared terminal from prostate cancer presented at the clinic I now go to. His psa was over 4,000 and he had mets to every organ and bone from his groin to his head. Within just nine weeks all tests and scans showed him to be with no evidence of disease. That was in early 2007.
Here is a link to a directory to clinics which may offer Vitamin C iv treatment.
http://www.cancure.org/home.htm
From what I understand from my doctor, the lypo-spheric/alpha lipoic acid/Vitamin K3 protocol
is almost as effective as a 50gram IV treatment. You’ll find some valuable information here regarding the use of vitamin c in cancer treatment:

I receive IV C with other nutrients monthly. I overcame Lyme Disease doing IV’s daily for about 1 week, then bi-weekly for a few months. I think IV C is miraculous! You add some Meyer’s Cocktail to it, some glutathione, and other nutrients – you have some powerful healing going on.
Anyone who wants to know how to find a practitioner who will do this…all you do is consult ACAM.ORG. GB.

Hi Sue. Congrats on the recovery. How much vitamin C dosages did you use for your IVs?
[Reply]
amazing. The power of natural treatements.

It so great to hear of people who have been cured of sickness through the use of vitamin C and IV Sodium Ascorbic. Pass the word to your friends and mostly to your Doctors. They might just learn a thing or two about saving lives.
have been a user of C for about 10 years. Wish I had known sooner.

this is my first come to your blog,and i read agood information that you put in here..good job i like it

Oral vitamin C has saved me a lot of grief. The first time I ever used it, over 100 grams in Day 1, with elderbarry extract (a viral inhibitor) reduced my wheezing/weeping sick time, 50%, and eliminated the fading cough I usually have for the month after. Worked great with a yellow jacket sting (fading immediately and the welt disappearing vs previously increasing reactions) and a h. zoster’s neuralgia as well as aborting scratchy throats trying for the big time.
I would also investigate high dose vitamin D3 (2000-10,000 iu/24h well, more sick), iodine and hypothyroidism (extra susceptible to colds, etc) with prescribed T3+T4.
