Curing the Incurable

1. Vitamin C: The Ultimate Antidote for Infectious Diseases and Toxins

"There are NO infectious diseases that have ever been found in which vitamin C administration can be considered dangerous or inappropriate."

Vitamin C's versatility. This powerful nutrient has demonstrated remarkable efficacy in treating a wide range of infectious diseases and neutralizing various toxins. From viral infections like polio, hepatitis, and influenza to bacterial diseases such as diphtheria and tuberculosis, vitamin C has shown consistent ability to cure or significantly improve patient outcomes.

Mechanism of action. Vitamin C works through multiple pathways:

• Enhances immune system function
• Directly inactivates viruses and bacteria
• Neutralizes toxins produced by pathogens
• Acts as a potent antioxidant, reducing oxidative stress
• Supports collagen synthesis, aiding in tissue repair

Historical perspective. Despite decades of research and clinical success, vitamin C remains underutilized in mainstream medicine. This disconnect between evidence and practice highlights the need for a paradigm shift in how we approach infectious diseases and toxin exposures.

2. Klenner's Groundbreaking Work: Curing Polio and Other Viral Infections

"Klenner (July 1949) published that he had successfully cured 60 out of 60 polio patients who had presented to his office or to the emergency room!"

Polio breakthrough. Dr. Frederick R. Klenner's work in the 1940s and 1950s demonstrated the remarkable ability of high-dose vitamin C to cure polio, a disease considered incurable at the time. His success rate was unprecedented, with all 60 of his polio patients fully recovering without residual paralysis.

Beyond polio. Klenner's success wasn't limited to polio:

• Cured viral pneumonia, encephalitis, and herpes infections
• Treated measles, mumps, and viral hepatitis effectively
• Reversed advanced cases of toxic poisonings

Methodology. Klenner's approach centered on:

• Using much higher doses than previously considered (often 50-100 times the RDA)
• Administering vitamin C intravenously for rapid effect
• Continuing treatment until symptoms fully resolved

3. The Importance of Proper Dosage: Why "Mega-doses" Matter

"The three most important considerations in effective vitamin C therapy are 'dose, dose, and dose.'"

Optimal dosing. The effectiveness of vitamin C therapy is highly dose-dependent. Many studies claiming vitamin C ineffectiveness used doses far too low to produce therapeutic effects. Klenner and other successful practitioners often used doses in the range of 50,000 to 200,000 mg per day for acute conditions.

Factors affecting dosage:

• Severity and type of infection or toxin exposure
• Patient's body weight and metabolism
• Route of administration (oral vs. intravenous)
• Duration of treatment needed

Bowel tolerance method. Developed by Dr. Robert Cathcart, this approach involves increasing oral vitamin C intake until loose stools occur, then backing off slightly. This method helps determine individualized optimal dosing, which can vary greatly based on health status.

4. Vitamin C's Versatility: Treating Bacterial, Viral, and Toxic Conditions

"Vitamin C has demonstrated the ability to neutralize a wide variety of toxic substances, many of which are completely unrelated chemically."

Broad-spectrum effectiveness. Vitamin C has shown efficacy against:

• Viral infections: polio, hepatitis, influenza, herpes, measles, mumps
• Bacterial infections: diphtheria, tuberculosis, streptococcal infections
• Toxic exposures: alcohol, barbiturates, carbon monoxide, pesticides, heavy metals

Dual action. Vitamin C acts as both a direct antidote and a physiological antidote:

• Directly neutralizes toxins through chemical interactions
• Supports the body's natural detoxification processes
• Repairs damage caused by toxins and infections

Case studies. The book provides numerous examples of vitamin C successfully treating conditions considered untreatable by conventional medicine, highlighting its potential to revolutionize medical practice.

5. The Overlooked Potential of Vitamin C in Modern Medicine

"It is long, long overdue that vitamin C is given its proper recognition and utilization in mainstream medicine."

Barriers to adoption. Despite extensive research and clinical success, vitamin C remains underutilized in modern medicine due to:

• Entrenched medical dogma and resistance to change
• Misclassification as merely a "vitamin" rather than a potent therapeutic agent
• Lack of financial incentive for pharmaceutical companies to promote a non-patentable substance

Potential impact. Widespread adoption of high-dose vitamin C therapy could:

• Reduce reliance on antibiotics, potentially slowing antibiotic resistance
• Provide effective treatments for viral diseases currently considered incurable
• Offer safer alternatives to many toxic pharmaceutical interventions

Paradigm shift needed. The medical community must reevaluate its approach to vitamin C, considering it as a first-line treatment for many infectious and toxic conditions rather than a mere supplement.

6. Vitamin C as a Powerful Antioxidant and Free Radical Scavenger

"Vitamin C is probably the only antioxidant that cannot be completely and safely eliminated from the diet by the substitution of any of the other antioxidants, regardless of their doses or the combination used."

Unique properties. Vitamin C stands out among antioxidants due to its:

• Ability to donate electrons without becoming a pro-oxidant itself
• Capacity to regenerate other antioxidants like vitamin E
• Wide distribution throughout body tissues

Oxidative stress reduction. By neutralizing free radicals, vitamin C:

• Protects cellular structures from damage
• Supports proper immune function
• Helps prevent chronic diseases associated with oxidative stress

Synergistic effects. Vitamin C enhances the effectiveness of other antioxidants and treatments, making it a valuable component of comprehensive health protocols.

7. The Role of Vitamin C in Detoxification and Radiation Protection

"Vitamin C serves to protect against the radiation damage of either accidental exposures or intentional medical exposures."

Detoxification support. Vitamin C aids the body's natural detoxification processes by:

• Enhancing liver enzyme function
• Promoting the excretion of toxins
• Protecting organs from toxic damage

Radiation protection. Research has shown vitamin C to be effective in:

• Reducing DNA damage from ionizing radiation
• Protecting against radiation-induced oxidative stress
• Accelerating recovery from radiation exposure

Practical applications. High-dose vitamin C could be valuable for:

• Occupational radiation exposure protection
• Mitigating effects of medical radiation treatments
• Environmental toxin and heavy metal detoxification

8. Vitamin C's Synergy with Other Nutrients and Treatments

"Vitamin C can always be used to optimize the performance of traditional antibiotic therapy."

Enhanced effectiveness. Vitamin C often improves the efficacy of other treatments:

• Increases the potency of antibiotics against resistant bacteria
• Reduces side effects of chemotherapy while enhancing its anticancer effects
• Works synergistically with other antioxidants like vitamin E and alpha-lipoic acid

Nutrient interactions. Vitamin C supports the function of other essential nutrients:

• Improves iron absorption
• Regenerates vitamin E, extending its antioxidant capacity
• Supports the synthesis and function of neurotransmitters

Comprehensive approach. Integrating vitamin C into treatment protocols can lead to better outcomes and reduced side effects across a wide range of medical conditions.

9. Challenging Medical Dogma: Why Vitamin C Remains Underutilized

"Even today only a very small number of medical researchers and clinicians completely appreciate the enormous benefit that can be obtained for a wide variety of infections and diseases by the proper use of what is considered very large doses of vitamin C."

Resistance to change. The medical establishment's reluctance to embrace high-dose vitamin C therapy stems from:

• Skepticism towards "megadose" nutrient therapies
• Overreliance on pharmaceutical interventions
• Lack of education on nutritional approaches in medical schools

Evidence vs. practice. Despite a wealth of research supporting vitamin C's therapeutic potential, there remains a significant gap between evidence and clinical practice.

Call to action. The book argues for:

• Reevaluation of vitamin C's role in medicine
• Increased research funding for high-dose vitamin C therapies
• Integration of nutritional approaches into standard medical education and practice
