Vitamin C Cures Pneumonia


A powerful second opinion for Hillary Clinton, Donald
Trump, and everyone
by Andrew W. Saul, Editor
(OMNS, Sept 12, 2016) Clinical evidence confirms vitamin C's powerful antiviral/antibiotic effect
against pneumonia when used in sufficient quantity.

Robert F. Cathcart, MD, successfully treated pneumonia with up to 200,000 milligrams of


vitamin C daily. (1,2) One can, to a significant extent, simulate an IV of vitamin C by taking it by
mouth very, very often. When I had pneumonia, it took 2,000 mg of vitamin C every six minutes
to get me to saturation (bowel tolerance). In three hours, fever was reduced several degrees and
coughing virtually stopped. At an oral daily dose of just over 100,000 mg, complete recovery took
just a few days.

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."

(Frederick R. Klenner, M.D.)

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.
