OMITTED TRUTHS – Vitamin C has never killed anyone, so why are they hiding its use from us?
BY SIMONE J. SMITH
“Vitamin C is very promising for prevention, and especially important to treat dying patients when there is no better treatment. People have died of the COVID-19 outbreak and yet I have not seen or heard of large dose intravenous vitamin C being used in any of the cases. The current sole focus on vaccine and specific antiviral drugs for epidemics is misplaced.” Dr. Cheng (US board-certified specialist in anti-aging medicine)
I am going to tell you right now; this article is going to cause some problems.
Why do you ask?
Well, I am going to expose our world governments for hiding something from all of us that could have saved thousands of lives. When they appear on our television screens, promoting vaccinations as the only way to get through the pandemic, and that we should all “Trust the science,” my question is always, “What science?”
Is it the science that promotes their point of view and that will allow them to make millions of dollars? Is this the science that they are referring to? Well, I decided to trust the science, and the science is showing me that our government, and world leaders have been hiding the truth from us, a truth that has been out there for us all to discover, but they have chosen to discard this truth in order to tout their thoughts and push their agenda.
As people continue to seek out information about the coronavirus, bad actors have taken advantage of the curiosity and now are using this time as a money-making opportunity. Now everyone has a book, whether it is writing about “Saying No,” or a book that stokes fear about the virus, there is definitely an infodemic occurring, and those who are supposed to be combating it are leading it.
Today I am going to present something to you that will protect you better than any vaccine, or mask ever will. I will be presenting multiple studies for the naysayers who will most certainly try to criticize this article, and I am going to also speak from personal experience. It has been twenty months since I have felt sick, and I have not followed ONE suggestion provided to us by the government. What I did do is take care of my immune system, and I used a vitamin to help me do it. I would like to present to the world, one of the largest secrets hidden from mankind, the power of vitamin C.
Anyone saying that vitamin therapy can stop coronavirus is instantly being labelled as “promoting false information” and posturing “fake news.” Somehow, even the sharing of verifiable news, and direct quotes from credentialed medical professionals, is being restricted or blocked on social media.
As we move through the pandemic, we continue to learn about the critical importance of maintaining adequate levels of essential nutrients, and taking care of our minds, bodies and souls. When the body is under stress from an illness such as an infection, merely having an excellent diet may not provide sufficient nutrients to support the immune system.
In order to starve off a fast-moving infection, it may require higher levels of essential vitamins and minerals. Vitamin C has been known to have an essential role in empowering the immune system. What many of us may not know is that a fast-moving illness can overpower this system, causing vitamin C levels to drop. Could this be what has happened to many of us? If so, why wouldn’t our doctors and scientist just tell us to take more Vitamin C?
During my research I learned that Orthomolecular Medicine is the practice of using natural molecules at the appropriate doses, to prevent and reverse disease. This type of medical practice has a long history of success. It is especially relevant today with epidemics of cardiovascular disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, eye disease, and the COVID-19 pandemic.
What readers may not realize is that many of us are deficient in the essential nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and other essential biological molecules. When the deficiencies are corrected with proper diet and supplementation with optimal doses, many progressive diseases can be prevented and reversed. Let’s take a look at some medical history, and then I am going to present some stories to you so that you, the reader, can do your own literature review.
If you took Grade 8, 9, or 10 history class, you know exactly what scurvy is. Scurvy killed two million sailors around the world between 1500 and 1800. In 1747 James Lind worked out the cure; it was vitamin C in limes, but it took fifty years before the Navy took it seriously. The life-saving effect of the limes was so dramatic, they started calling sailors “limeys!”
The question is, will our world governments allow the same thing to happen with COVID-19? With over a million deaths worldwide, and the potential of vitamin C to more than halve the death toll, every day our governments, and doctors fail to take vitamin C seriously is another day of unnecessary deaths due to ignoring the evidence. This is not fake news.
One of the first studies that I am going to present was reported and written by Andrew W. Saul called “Three Intravenous Vitamin C Research Studies Approved for Treating COVID-19.” This report was released on February 21st, 2020, and it discussed the fact that intravenous vitamin C was already being employed in China against COVID-19 coronavirus. Andrew was part of the Medical and Scientific Advisory Board to the International Intravenous Vitamin C China Epidemic Medical Support Team. He worked alongside the director, Richard Z. Cheng, MD, PhD, and associate director Hong Zhang, PhD. Among other team members were Qi Chen, PhD (Associate Professor, Kansas University Medical School); Jeanne Drisko, MD (Professor, University of Kansas Medical School); Thomas E. Levy, MD, JD; and Atsuo Yanagisawa, MD, PhD. (Professor, Kyorin University, Tokyo).
They found that early and sufficiently large doses of intravenous vitamin C was not only a prototypical antioxidant, but also involved in virus killing and prevention of viral replication.
I then read a commentary by Patrick Holford titled, “Vitamin C Cuts COVID Deaths by Two-Thirds,” released on October 13th, 2020. The study was the world’s first randomized placebo-controlled trial designed to test high dose intravenous vitamin C for treatment of COVID-19. Vitamin C proved to reduce mortality in the most critically ill patients by two thirds.
The study, headed by Professor Zhiyong Peng at Wuhan’s Zhongnan University Hospital, started in February and gave critically ill COVID-19 patients on ventilators either 12,000 milligrams (mg) of vitamin C twice daily or sterile water in their drip. Neither the patient nor the doctors knew who was getting vitamin C or placebo, so the trial was “double blind.” This, for people who don’t understand how research works, is the ‘gold standard’ of research design.
What did they find? Well, overall, 5 out 26 people (19%) died in the vitamin C group while 10 out of 28 (36%) receiving the placebo died. That means that vitamin C almost halved the number of deaths. Those on vitamin C were 60% more likely to survive.
What I found interesting was that a month after 50 tons of vitamin C, which is 50 million one-gram doses, was shipped into Wuhan, new admissions into Intensive Care Units (ICUs) plummeted. Reports also came in from ICUs that were testing the blood vitamin C levels. The majority of their critically ill patients were vitamin C deficient, many with undetectable levels of vitamin C. One ICU in Barcelona found 17 out of 18 patients had ‘undetectable’ vitamin C levels, akin to scurvy. Another, in the US, found almost all their patients were vitamin C deficient but those who didn’t survive had much lower levels than those who did.
Interesting indeed!
I came across another study reported by Margot DesBois titled, “The Treatment of Infectious Disease Using Vitamin C and other Nutrients,” released on January 20th, 2021. She reported that individuals with a higher intake of vitamin C produced more antibodies as demonstrated in a 1977 study that isolated human subjects from nearly all sources of new infection and supplemented them with different amounts of this vitamin.
It appeared that supplementation with high levels of vitamin C during a viral illness not only treated the acute infection, but it also helps prevent secondary infections that may arise within a vitamin-depleted environment. Investigators such as Irwin Stone, Linus Pauling, and Thomas Levy have provided extensive evidence that vitamin C acts as a potent antiviral and antibacterial substance at gram level doses.
When we dip back into history, we find that in the middle of the twentieth century, Frederick R. Klenner, MD demonstrated that vitamin C is an ideal agent for killing viruses, bacteria, and other microbial pathogens. He also recognized vitamin C’s ability to neutralize and eliminate most toxins, including microbial products, chemical pollutants, and other poisons. I am curious what our medical experts would have to say about this.
Finally, my last report was written by Michael Passwater, and it is titled, “Vitamin C Levels in Critically Ill Covid-19 Patients,” released on July 18th, 2021.
In his report, Michael discussed how when dealing with critical illness, large doses of vitamin C can be helpful in resuscitation efforts. He found that on-going large doses of vitamin C are needed to fuel white blood cells, regain antioxidant capacity throughout the body, and counteract its rapid consumption.
Recommended adult doses to reduce risk of serious infection: [24-30]
- Vitamin C, 500-1000 mg, 3 times daily (more to bowel tolerance if sick)
- Vitamin D, 5,000 IU/day
- Vitamin K2, 100 mcg/day
- Niacin / niacinamide 200 – 1000 mg/d (in divided doses, start with smaller doses, increase over weeks)
- Magnesium 400 mg/d (in malate, citrate, chelate, or chloride form)
- Zinc, 20 mg/day
- Selenium 200 mcg/day
I could go on and on, and for the doubters, medical professionals, and government officials who question this article, please feel free to reach out to me, and I can provide you with all the science you need. It’s time for the government to demand that our medical schools, and researchers conduct a study of IVC. Clearly, there is no shortage of patients. Vitamin C is inexpensive and will virtually never cause complications. Vitamin C has never killed anyone, so why are they hiding its use from us?
