 Vitamin C? Oh yes it can - say the scientists: |

Just a thought? 11.5.08 This is Grace Filby's practical suggestion for flushing out the plastic lines/catheters that get superbug biofilms growing in them, e.g. the new Steno superbug. Just as we can use lemon juice for cleaning plastic washing up bowls of their slime, and for removing mould, bacteria and stains round taps, and we can put a slice of lemon directly onto an infected cut - could the scientists and doctors just try flushing through the plastic lines with a strong dose of Vitamin C in solution (ascorbic acid)? In 1985, Cathcart demonstrated that sick patients, with influenza and cancer for example, do not suffer any adverse effects whatsoever until the dosage is raised to fairly high levels such as 100 grams or higher. Cathcart, Robert F. III (September 1985). "Vitamin C: the nontoxic, nonrate-limited, antioxidant free radical scavenger".

The research scientists' time would then be freed up to do much-needed genetic sequencing of bacteriophages, since they have great value to industry.

vitamin C, bird flu and other infections including HAIs To: Department of Health From: Grace Filby Date: 24/10/2005 your ref: DE6015780 In June, the response from your policy official about Vitamin C was "The evidence on host factors such as nutrition is limited". Now please would the DoH look again at the strength of support for intravenous and high dose Vitamin C* from various experts in the UK and the USA (including the legal perspective): e.g. http://www.patrickholford.com/content.asp?id_Content=1473 http://www.patrickholford.com/content.asp?id_Content=1472 |
Intravenous high doses of Vitamin C - 'very safe'
| Vitamin C not harmful
- UK government "Water-soluble vitamins are not stored in the body, so you need to have them more frequently. If you have more than you need, your body gets rid of
the extra vitamins when you urinate. Because the body
doesn't store water-soluble vitamins, generally these
vitamins aren't harmful." |
