The vitamin C concentrations of these solutions usually range from 20 to 60 Gms. Some physicians report using doses as great as 100 Gms in patients with acute illness, particularly viral infections. The more acute and severe the illness the more frequently the Ascorbate treatments are given

 

There is nothing unique about the preparation of the ascorbate solutions except the Vitamin C should be preservative-free ascorbic acid. Large concentrations cause the osmolarity to increase dramatically and should be administered slowly to reduce any osmotic effect on the red cells.

 

SELECTION OF A PATIENTS FOR ASCORBATES
 

Ascorbates have been used to treat everything from sinusitis to AIDS and cancer. Physicians have reported for years that they find ascorbates effective in a very wide range of diseases or metabolic dysfunctions. There is no good census of opinion about how Ascorbates work in the body or what type of patients should be treated. We are not aware of an established protocol which defines the best method for treating what diseases with ascorbates
 

In our experience Ascorbates are useful in treating acute illness such as influenza, mild to moderate infection of all types, and chronic conditions such as Chronic fatigue, Immune depression, mental depression, environmental intoxication, etc. Most physicians select patients using almost the same criteria used in selecting a patient for hydrogen peroxide therapy. The similarity is not accidental, because there is evidence in the literature that ascorbic acid increases endogenous hydrogen peroxide production. It is probable the beneficial effects seen with large doses of Ascorbates is due to the production of hydrogen peroxide.
 

Smaller doses of ascorbates, below 20 Gms of ascorbic acid, particularly if your solutions contain vitamin, minerals and even amino acids, are very useful to build up an older malnourished individuals before you start them on chelation or some other form of therapy. The small amounts of hydrogen peroxide produced in the body from ascorbic acid will gently stimulate the oxidative enzyme systems in these older people and give them more energy for healing and feeling good.

 

SCHEDULING ASCORBATE TREATMENTS
 

We usually schedule Ascorbates, one treatment at a time for whatever purpose we think it might be useful, If any repeating schedule is required we recommend a total of 4 0r 5 treatments, once weekly. Another example is when we are treating a patient with EDTA chelation and their serum creatine or BUN becomes slightly elevated, we may stop the chelation and give them several Ascorbate treatments, then recheck the chemistries. This procedure usually results in a return of renal functions back to normal, so we can then resume their treatments.
 

It has been reported by others, when ascorbates are used in treating Aids or cancer, dosages of 60 to 100 Gms are routinely used and are given from one to three times weekly. These large, rather frequent treatments are usually alternated with intravenous hydrogen peroxide and or ozone. There is not enough supporting data at this time to make a substantial statement as to their degree of effectiveness.

 

TOXICITY OF ASCORBATES
 

There is no clear cut evidence that ascorbic acid is toxic in any dose. There have been reports circulated for years that ascorbic acid increases the incidence of renal calculi. In our experience, using large doses of ascorbic acid for over 20 years, we have never seen a toxic reaction nor renal calculi as a result of using Ascorbic Acid. Quit to the contrary, we treated a patient from Panama several years ago because he was a chronic stone former. He was treated with a combination of EDTA chelation and ascorbates. Prior to his treatments he was passing a renal stone on the average of once every two years and had since childhood. He reported at a five year follow-up that he had passed no further stones. Because of war in his country we lost contact so we do not know how long this positive effect lasted.
