Vitamin C Cures Pneumonia
Vitamin C Cures Pneumonia
Treating pneumonia, with massive amounts of vitamin C is not a new idea at all. Board-certified
chest specialist Frederick R. Klenner, M.D. routinely used this approach for decades, beginning
back in the 1940's. (3) If your doctor believes that vitamin C has merit generally, but that massive
doses are ineffective or somehow harmful, he or she will do well to read the doctor's original
papers. (4)
"Some physicians would stand by and see their patients die rather than use
ascorbic acid. Vitamin C should be given to the patient while the doctors ponder
the diagnosis."
Vitamin C can be used alone or right along with medicines if one so chooses. Prescription drugs
are not doing the job. Over 50,000 Americans die from pneumonia each year. There is no
question that aggressive use of vitamin C would lower that figure a great deal. And there is no
humane excuse for excluding it.
Please feel free to share this article with any member of any political party. Politicians need
vitamin C, too.
