The amounts used were huge, but had absolutely no side effects.

Patients were given sodium ascorbate, first as 30 grams over one hour, followed by another 30 grams, given over the next five hours, according to the abstract.

These are incredible doses that are far beyond what doctors would have likely experimented with, before, in my humble opinion.

Interesting. I’ve seen a protocol for treating whooping cough with sodium ascorbate.

The vit c/sepsis connection has been studied awhile...and if I were in sepsis situation, I would demand it.

A couple years ago THIS came out...

Vitamin C in high doses is good for many things. But few docs will tell their patients that.

[libh8er]

Sodium ascorbate is basically Vitamin C. Vit C in the form of a salt.

[Getready]

Would have been nice to compare the death rates of the two groups. Would also been nice to know the patients treatment regimen, vasopressor dose, and the antibiotics used. And how soon after sepsis was determined that the therapy was started. Pt coming in with full blown sepsis is different from someone whose sepsis develops after admission.What were the steroid doses?
Kinda weak sauce if no difference of mortality was demonstrated. Just sayin’

[thinden]

Thanx for posting

[bitt]

gee, ..and high doses of Vit C were recommended for patients with life-threatening Covid in the hospital ...but few demanded it...

Noted:

Sepsis nearly killed me. Did some terrible damage to my internals.... I am lucky I have a kidney left.

A cure for sepsis?

A critical-care physician at Eastern Virginia Medical School has found what he believes is a cure for sepsis. The discovery came by accident as Paul Marik, MBBCh, was treating a patient who was dying of sepsis.

Below is the treatment protocol (current as of March 2017), a link to the study in the journal CHEST and background materials for medical professionals and media professionals.

Read more in the EVMS digital magazine.

See coverage from NPR and in The Virginian-Pilot.

For medical professionals
Sepsis treatment protocol
Vitamin C: 1.5 g IV q 6 hourly for 4 days or until discharge from the ICU.

Hydrocortisone: 50mg IV q 6 hourly for 4 days or until discharge from the ICU. Taper is not required.

Thiamine: 200mg IV q 12 hourly for 4 days or until discharge from the ICU. Alternative dosing: 100mg IV q 6 hourly for 4 days.

Sepsis: A global killer
Sepsis is a complication caused by the body’s overwhelming and life-threatening response to infection, which can lead to tissue damage, organ failure and death, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

More than 250,000 people in the United States die from sepsis annually, according to the Sepsis Alliance. It is the most common cause of death among hospitalized patients in the U.S. The Global Sepsis Alliance estimates that eight million people die worldwide as a result of sepsis each year.

Vitamin C in its salt or acid form is not known to be an antimicrobial. There are articles at the end of the link that show the vit C treatment does NOT work.

I am amazed someone tried something that will not make big money for Big Pharma.

[UnwashedPeasant]

This looks like a variation on the Paul Marik sepsis protocol: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30441816/

Paul Marik is one of the leading doctors who promoted the use of Ivermectin for Covid. www.flccc.net

Vitamin C! Is there anything it can’t do?!?!?!?..............

[devere]

These “incredible doses” are old news in real medicine. Vitamin C is safer than water. Dr Frederick Klenner used similar doses 75 years ago https://www.mv.helsinki.fi/home/hemila/klenner.htm#mozTocId780554 .

But it is nice to see modern medicine catching up.

[wintertime]

This is encouraging news.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Now for full sale clinical trials.

[Chauncey Gardiner]

This treatment has been known for decades but since it’s cheap, don’t expect it to go anywhere.

[Rusty0604]

My dad got sepsis in the hospital and it caused his death.

[GOPJ]

Promising results from an initial clinical trial show that sodium ascorbate—a pH-balanced formulation of vitamin C—is effective in treating sepsis.

This is almost too good to be true. Hope the research holds up...

[sima_yi]

This study used a much higher initial dosage than did previous studies.
In addition, this study used sodium ascorbate rather than ascorbic acid (vitamin C). The difference in the pH of these two compounds is quite significant.
