We have attended several
postdoctoral medical conferences with speakers on infections, nutrition,
inflammation, functional medicine and Lyme disease. Many of these important lectures are now available online. We will add to this catalog of lectures from
time to time. Dr Trevor Marshall has
spoken worldwide on these subjects and has sponsored the Autoimmune Research
Foundation conferences. The Riordan
clinics has used IV ascorbic acid to treat many cancers; their website is
indexed below.
IV AA Biochemistry Functional
Overview.
The keys to autoimmune disease and
toxin poisoning treatments are control of inflammation (Olmesartin and
antihistamines) and getting high enough vitamin C in the blood and tissues to
supply needed electrons to vital chemical reaction pathways. Giving enough
repeated-intake ascorbate in the blood can have sustained antibacterial, anti
Cancer and antiviral effects. Olmesartin is key to the Trevor
Marshall Protocols. Knowledge Base
Inflammation is a chemical oxide
chain reaction, producing more toxins. Anaphylaxis and toxic shock (lethargy)
diminish rapidly by sodium ascorbate infusions and IM injections. Oral ascorbic
acid (AA), taken frequently in multi gram doses can break the inflammation
oxide production chain. So can IV/IM
ascorbate (sodium ascorbate).
Ascorbic acid has a blood half-life
of ~½ hour: this means frequent (1 to 3
hour) oral replacement doses are needed in the presence of inflammation. If oxide production is extreme, (as in Ebola and
Marburg infections), tissue disintegration and bleeding occurs. Without AA IV
the patient’s recovery chances are low.
Patient survival is correlated with high AA intake before infection,
according to reports from doctors in Africa.
Ebola infection causes rapid onset scurvy.
Cathcart Notes: “
1)… [D]isease symptom curves indicate very little
effect on acute symptoms until doses of 80-90% of bowel tolerance are
reached. Perhaps it is only near tolerance doses that the ascorbate is
pushed into the primary sites of the disease.
2) Suppression of symptoms in some instances may not be total; but usually it is very significant and often the amelioration is complete and rapid. [with IV sodium ascorbate]
3) Hepatitis may require 30 to 100 grams [per day of
sodium ascorbate IV plus oral intake].
Experienced
AA IV practitioners know this to a certainty.
Most doctors find this incredible, without having understood the highly
reactive characteristics of the AA-DHA molecule’s dual state biochemistry and
electron-donor reactions in detail. It is obvious that if tissue AA levels are
below in vitro effective concentrations, that, in vivo, no effectiveness will
likely occur. The high levels of IV
ascorbate concentrations have been proven to be safe and effective. Dr
Cathcart used “High” level, therapeutically effective, AA administration over
9000 times by 1981. Cautions exist relating to kidney dysfunctions, vitamin C
tolerance, and possible scurvy due to too little vitamin C. http://www.doctoryourself.com/kidney2.html
Various
reports have shown that the threshold dosages for effectiveness is highly
variable. It may be 1 gram per day, 3
grams, 6 grams, or 12 grams with divided doses for amounts over one gram per
serving being more effective. Aloe vera
and other vegetable smoothies are reported to provide a way to increase gut to
blood sodium ascorbate transfer effective percentage, perhaps increasing
15% limit to over 45%. See How
Much Vitamin C for a more complete discussion.
AA oxidizes to Dehydroxy Ascorbic
Acid (DHA),
an oxide, which also plays a role in killing bacteria, viruses, cancer cells
and microbe-invaded cells. When AA
blood concentration reaches a critically low level, histamine production rises
exponentially. Histamine promotes oxides (ROS and NOS and
Hydrogen peroxide) production.
Antioxidants (including vitamins A,
C and E) are highly reactive; antioxidants and nutrients are consumed by toxins
and oxides and must be replaced, frequently in food. Liposomal vitamin C and Glutathione increase the gut to blood
transport effectiveness. But they kill
microbes and can produce a Jarisch
Herxheimer (Herx) inflammation reaction. This calls for co
administration of non Liposomal AA.
Glutathione is reported to assist mitochondrial recovery. CoQ10 is also helpful to improve cellular
energy release functions.
The Riordan Clinic An impressive history of Research and
Treatment Excellence.
Riordan
Clinic: “As
Hickey and co-workers pointed out, the short half-life of vitamin C during the
rapid [vitamin C] excretion phase is sometimes ignored, particularly by the
NIH's dose and [daily RDA] frequency of intake recommendation. Plasma levels
above 70 pM [picoMoles] have a half-life of approximately 30 minutes, so large
doses taken several hours apart [3
hours = (½)6 = 1/64] should be considered independent, as should be
their bioavailability. This cumulative pattern means that splitting a single
large dose into several smaller ones, taken a few hours apart, increase the
effective bioavailability of the large dose. This schedule-dependence
phenomenon also needs to be taken into consideration for any further
interpretation of ascorbate pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic results.” See

Countermeasures
Dr
Tom Levy has remarked that AA antitoxin electron donor effects undo tumor toxic
anti cancer chemotherapy, so chemo IV administration needs to be alternated
with AA infusions, with several hours of time elapsed, not concurrent with AA
administration. This may seem obvious,
but is easy to ignore in practice, because it may require a 24/7 administration
schedule over a treatment period of, perhaps, weeks. IV AA converts to DHA which is toxic to tumor cells, promoting
die-off.

Sodium Ascorbate oxidizes on the shelf, Solution turns yellow. Solution should be fresh.
FDA is concerned that IV-C solutions cannot be transported or stored for long periods after mixing without unacceptable degradation.
Cathcart made his own solution. Clinics that do IV-C should do likewise (or buy from a trusted supplier) and have a track record of
at least hundreds of IV-C administrations using the proper balanced-electrolyte-component solutions.
Several years of IV-C clinical administration experience should be proof enough of safety.
