While modern medicine casts a blind eye towards vitamin therapy and even exhibits open disdain for health practitioners and patients who incorporate vitamins into daily health regimens, it now appears a half-million Americans are losing their lives to a mortal bloodstream infection called sepsis that is induced by a deficiency of vitamin C.
After three decades, and more than one-hundred failed clinical trials of synthetic drugs to quell the most common cause of death in American hospitals, modern medicine is dragging its feet over what has now been demonstrated to be obvious — intravenous vitamin C demonstrably reduces death from sepsis. Sepsis patients are being brought back from the precipice of death, enough to make ICU nurses cry tears of joy. But medical overseers have attempted to obscure this fact.

Given that an estimated 100 million American adults are diabetic or pre-diabetic, will this sub-population begin to receive prescriptions for vitamin D from their doctors? This question is now asked because of a revealing study showing diabetics in particular are at 4.5-times greater risk for an early death when their blood levels of vitamin D are low. The risk of death from infectious disease also doubles for individuals who are deficient in vitamin D.
While an abject deficiency of vitamin D is defined as a blood concentration of 10 nanomoles per liter of blood, survival data confirms “a strong association of vitamin D deficiency (under 50 nanomoles/liter or 20 nanograms/millilter) with increased mortality.”

Bile is of one of the humors (fluids) that the Greek physician Hippocrates noted was important to maintain health. Bile, produced in the liver and stored in the gall bladder, facilitates the digestion of fats and oils and the absorption and transport of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E & K. Modern medicine may have better fulfilled its mission to educate the public about bile rather than cholesterol. Given that as many people have a heart attack with low cholesterol as they do high cholesterol, one wonders how cholesterol became the central paradigm of modern medicine. People over 60 years old who have high “bad” LDL cholesterol live as long or longer than people with low LDL cholesterol. As an aside, calcium pills, antacids, even aspirin, mainstays of medicine, fit into the same category – misdirections in the practice of medicine.
Both cholesterol and bile are secreted from the liver. Bile actually facilitates the degradation (catabolism) and disposal of cholesterol. Bile is described as a “detergent” that enables the excretion of cholesterol. Bile is actually comprised of cholesterol and controls circulating cholesterol levels. A backup of bile in the liver is problematic. A reduction in bile flow due to sludgy, thick viscous bile, can result in abnormally high cholesterol levels.

It’s worth clicking through to look at Dr. Paul Merik as he speaks at NPR.org about saving thousands of lives with vitamin C therapy and see the medical student in the background wiping back her tears….. For the first time, after hundreds of failed drug trials, patients are rapidly recovering from blood poisoning (aka sepsis) and leaving the hospital three days later. And this discovery doesn’t come from Johns Hopkins Medical Center, Harvard Medical School or the Mayo Clinic. How about Eastern Virginia Medical School!
Click to hear a nurse speak: “We would just go day and after day, they (the patients) just weren’t getting any better… it (vitamin therapy) just seemed too simple…. We thought it had to be a fluke, but we had patients getting better. Patients were turning around quickly, within 12 hours. They would be at death’s door, and 12 hours later they were 50% better… we have seen patients walk out of here that we didn’t think would leave alive. I have goose bumps now.”

Researchers claim they have found why humans, but not other animals, are prone to heart attacks. News reports of this discovery are confusing because they errantly infer a gene mutation (CMAH gene), which eliminates internal synthesis of a sugar-like molecule called Neu5Gc (aka sialic acid), is what makes humans vulnerable to chronic inflammation that can lead to cancer and heart attacks.
Actually the inactivation of the CMAH gene via a gene mutation, which occurred long ago in human history, eliminated endogenous production of this toxic Neu5Gc molecule in humans. That would represent a health-positive gene mutation, not a negative health mutation as some confused news reports maintain. The initial scientific discovery is published in the July 22, 2019 issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
However, humans may eat meat from animals that do produce Neu5Gc and this is at least a partial reason why red meat consumption has been repeatedly linked to heart attacks. Caviar (fish eggs) has the highest amount of Neu5Gc but is not consumed as often as red meat. According to one study, red meat contains 25-231 micrograms of Neu5Gc per gram of meat; caviar 445-530 micrograms per gram. If mice are fed Neu5Gc they develop 2.4 times more plaque in their arteries.

If you want to avert the development of a sight-robbing disease called macular degeneration you are going to have to step outside modern medicine. Eye doctors only have treatment but no prevention for this dastardly eye disease that robs senior adults of their central vision for reading, driving and watching TV.
Don’t both your eye doctor about this proposed vitamin cure for macular degeneration. Your eye doctor will demand a controlled human study before he/she prescribes a vitamin. There are no published human studies to confirm its safety and effectiveness and none are planned. So, it is unproven (but not disproven). You will just have to endure slow progressive loss of vision (dry macular degeneration) and hope you don’t develop the fast-progressive form (wet macular degeneration), which requires monthly needle injections directly into your eye(s) to avoid permanent loss of vision.
The National Eye Institute promotes a multi-nutrient formula called the AREDS formula (Age-Related Eye Disease) that barely slows the progression of this disease (you still are losing your sight). The AREDS formula does not benefit patients with early macular degeneration.

IDIOPATHIC DISEASE: When The Doctor Says The Cause Of The Symptoms You Experience Is Unknown
(or maybe it’s just all in your head)
Idiopathic: any disease or condition which arises spontaneously or for which the cause is unknown.
Derrick Lonsdale MD ought to know something about patients for whom other doctors could not find a cause or reason for their chronic symptoms other than psychosomatic phenomena. He has been helping patients resolve what are called idiopathic (unexplained) disorders for decades now. His standby remedy, vitamin B1 (thiamine).

Please don’t let what is written here discourage you from taking vitamin C multiple times a day. That is what every noted vitamin C researcher has recommended. That is because vitamin C is rapidly excreted and has a half-life in the human body of 30 minutes. It needs to be replaced throughout the day.
First, the answer to the question how much vitamin C an individual needs is not provided in studies of groups of people. Population studies only provide an answer as to how much vitamin C is needed to significantly alter some measure of health or disease in a group. Yet it is these very studies that public health agencies reference in a flawed manner to advise individuals how much vitamin C they need to maintain health. The answer as to how much vitamin C you need as an individual is quite variable and depends upon many factors described below that obviously change both rapidly and over time.

Millions of people who have been eating and enjoying cholesterol-rich eggs under the assurance they do not increase the risk for heart disease have now been told eggs (slightly) increase the risk for strokes.
And 50+ million Americans have now been told the aspirin tablet they have been taking to prevent a heart attack or a stroke is useless.
Bottom line, the most recent advice is to throw out the eggs and the aspirin tablets.
But wait, organized medicine has misled the public before.

Results of preliminary clinical tests are in and they confirm the unique array of ingredients in FORMULA-21TM double blood serum levels of vitamin C in all subjects tested without intake of this essential nutrient from dietary or supplemental sources. The effect is long-lasting – up to 24 hours.
The study also found Formula-21TM elevates vitamin C blood levels as biological stress is induced, mimicking how most animals who internally product vitamin C on demand respond to mental or physical stress.
