چکیده

My experience (Cathcart 1975, 1976, 1978, 1979) in utilizing vitamin C in large doses has extended over a nine year period and has involved over 9,000 patients. Much of the original work with large amounts of vitamin C was done by Fred R, Klenner, M.D. (1948, 1949, 1971, 1974) of Riedsville, North Carolina. Klenner found that viral diseases could be detoxified and subsequently cured by intravenous sodium ascorbate in amounts up to 200 grams per 24 hours. Irwin Stone (1965,1966, 1972) pointed out the potential of vitamin C in the treatment of many diseases, the inability of humans to synthesize ascorbate and the resultant condition hypo-ascorbemia. Linus Pauling (1970, 1976) reviewed the literature on vitamin C and has led the crusade to make known its medical uses to the public and the medical profession. Ewan Cameron in association with Pauling (1976, 1978) has shown the usefulness of ascorbic acid in the treatment of cancer.
