Are you a coincidence theorist or a conspiracy realist?
You may already be aware of mainstream social media recently joining big pharma in trying to create a fake reality for us in which vitamins are portrayed as useless. If you have any doubts, just publish a video where you simply ask the question why no COVID-19 patients have been treated with megadoses of vitamin C. The video will do well at first. After a few hours, you'll see a sudden drop to anywhere between 1% and 5% of what the video receives before the AI censorship algorithm caught on.
So why all this AI censorship for just asking a question? What are they hiding?
It's easy to find claims that several doctors were healing a plethora of viral infections by injecting their patients with really high doses of vitamin C. If you are eager to find out—one way or another—if there's anything to those claims, you might look up recent mainstream studies. There you're immediately going to run into one big issue: You need to be familiar with the dosages involved, because this “difficulty with big numbers” is what the industry exploits to feed us half-truths about vitamin C.
The key to understanding the vitamin-C deception: dosages!
With this post, I intend to give you the most important tool for doing your own research about vitamin C and drawing your own conclusions. I'm about to point my finger at exactly the one weak point I have found in all recent publications: incorrect dosage.
Vitamin C performs lots of different functions in the human body, and different quantities are necessary for the different functions. Originally the vitamin was discovered as the substance which prevents a disease called scurvy. For this purpose, a daily dose of about 100 mg is perfectly sufficient. 100 mg (one hundred milligrams) is the same quantity as 0.1 g (one tenth of a gram). It's about the amount of powder that will fit into a very small supplement capsule.
Vitamin C does more than prevent and cure scurvy, though. It also helps tremendously with most viral infections. However, for this purpose, far greater amounts of vitamin C are necessary. Throughout the twentieth century, several medical doctors and researchers successfully treated viral infections such as poliomyelitis, EBV (mononucleosis), hepatitis A and B with megadoses of vitamin C. A megadose, in this context, refers to anywhere between about 50,000 mg and 250,000 mg per day. That's up to 250 grams per day, or roughly half a pound of pure vitamin C powder.
Do I know for sure that any or all of these claims are true? No, I don't. I didn't speak Dr. Klenner personally, nor Dr. Cathcart, nor the only person to ever win two Nobel Prizes by himself, Dr. Linus Pauling.
What I do know, however, is that it is extremely dishonest and deceptive to try to discredit their work by purposely using dosages far too low to have an effect. Instead of inundating you with dozens of examples, I have two links for you which I encourage you to check out for yourself.
The successively tightening perception deception
In this study, over twenty years ago, the researchers were still using somewhat reasonable dosages. They gave doses of 1000 mg every hour for the first six hours and then three times a day. That's about 3000 mg to 8000 mg per day. Remember, anything greater than about 100 mg is considered a “megadose” by the mainstream, but for viral infections, doctors previously used dosages of about 50,000 mg and up to cure their patients. At least that's the claim we should try to investigate.
Even though these researchers used much smaller quantities of vitamin C than their predecessors, the patients in this particular study still reported an 85% decrease in cold and flu symptoms. Not bad for what is effectively about one-tenth the dose previously claimed to cure such infections.
Fast forward a couple of decades, and now you get crap like this from your mainstream medical scientists: Here the authors proudly declare that they have shown “failure of vitamin C supplementation to reduce the incidence of colds in the normal population.” How did they do it? They considered anything starting at 0.2 g (which is the same quantity as 200 mg) a “megadose” of vitamin C. Need I say any more?
Conclusion
Please do your own reading and thinking. I'm not a doctor of medicine, but I refuse to place any trust in a system which routinely pumps out half-truths. Are we supposed to believe that 200,000 mg of vitamin C cannot possibly do anything for the common cold, including old and new coronaviruses, when all you're showing me are studies where you gave monkeys or people less than one hundredth of that amount and—surprise, surprise—saw no effect? No, thank you. We're not having it anymore.
