Yeah... docs will NEVER do it and NO LONG TERM STUDIES have been done because of “politics”.
Must be a time traveler because this study was done at the NIH in 2012 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22116695
Subcell Biochem. 2012;56:67-83. doi: 10.1007/978-94-007-2199-9_5.
Vitamin C in sepsis.
and this is another one done in 2009

Mechanism of action of vitamin C in sepsis: Ascorbate modulates redox signaling in endothelium
Just might to want to educate yourself and what the current state of management of sepsis is. Some interesting stuff with Vit E as well.
But since I’m a doctor, I’ll just rub essential oils on the soles of feet and some crystals at the head of the bed because I don’t want to be a stooge for “Big Pharma”.
sorry, article said it wasn’t proven yet. Why isn’t it standard practice?

Thanks for links, too. I have problems with anxiety triggering arthritis (and probable future dementia-family history) so going to go educate myself about mechanics. I always wonder HOW things work and love, absolutely, neuroscience.

How many will die because of this hype?
Nicely said! Save me some reading please. Will this treatment work? I don’t need another magic elixir infomercial. Or Green Vineagar. Or magnets. Or copper.
So this has been studied previously. How many doctors are using it to treat sepsis?
This doctor indicates it is his first time using intravenous Vitamin C for sepsis treatment.
Are doctors not keeping up with recent studies? Are the promising studies not being circulated through out the medical community?
This study especially seems to have few drawbacks and a great potential for success. Yet not everyone is using it. Cost is not the problem, nor availability. I imagine because the medical field doesn’t know about it.
The other poster may have been overly critical of big pharma, but we are all familiar with how drug companies get behind their new miracle drugs. Yet when a promising study like this Vitamin C cure is done, the medical community doesn’t seem to hear about it.
You’ve presented two studies, 2009 and 2012.
Can you imagine the advertising if it had been a new drug discovered and manufactured by one of the big drug companies. There needs to be a way to get these promising cures out that are not connected to the advertising dollars of drug companies.
Since being a doc is a 24/7 job, is there a new spot needed? Researcher of research? In the office like a secretary. So many studies for specialties. Can’t imagine being a general practitioner. Take care, Doc.
Thanks for linking to real studies. I hate these kinds of articles because I have seen charlatans and quacks selling the soft headed on vitamin protocols using the exact same “too cheap to get approval” claim.
I am also glad to see that the articles also confirm the positive effects of vitamin C. As a layman, sepsis always bothered me in its ability to turn a relatively minor injury on a perfectly healthy person into death or lifetime disability in a matter of days.
