Sepsis, an infection that kills millions worldwide each year and is the third leading cause of death in the United States, may have finally met its match.
Paul Marik, the EVMS Foundation Distinguished Professor in Internal Medicine, Professor of Internal Medicine and Chief of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, believes he has developed a cure for the life-threatening infection. His treatment breakthrough promises to revolutionize sepsis care and produce results that are nothing short of astonishing.
Vitamin C is often used intravenously as part of a treatment for cancer.
Hydrocortisone is used to relieve inflammation and for a variety of conditions from arthritis to asthma.
Thiamine is a vitamin.
Sepsis is the leading cause of death among hospitalized patients.
As a critical-care physician and head of the general intensive care unit (GICU) at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital, Dr. Marik used to be locked in a struggle with sepsis. Despite his efforts, one to two people under his care died each week from the disease. That all changed unexpectedly Jan. 5, 2016.
The breakthrough came as Dr. Marik struggled to save a woman dying from overwhelming sepsis. He had recently read about vitamin C as a potential treatment for sepsis, and he recalled that steroids, a common treatment for sepsis, might work well in concert with the vitamin C.
Aware that both were safe and would not harm the patient, he gave her the vitamin C and steroid combination intravenously.
Within hours, his patient was recovering. Two days later she was well enough to leave the ICU.
Dr. Marik and is colleagues were astonished.
In the following days they used the combination therapy on two more patients seemingly destined to die of sepsis. Twice more the patients recovered. Dr. Marik and his team quickly adopted the combination therapy as standard practice.

“We haven’t seen a patient die of sepsis since we began using the combination therapy a year ago,” Dr. Marik said one year to the day after treating the first patient. “We have completely changed the natural history of sepsis.”Harvard, Columbia, Hopkins and the Mayo Clinic haven't blessed it, and that is the final nail in her coffin.
See post 70...nothing new with vitamin C research...what’s new is doctors starting to consider it more often

Have you read up on Vitamin D / Vitamin K for atherosclerotic plaques? Clears the Calcium right out of them...
If you’re that sick from sepsis, it would have to be injected vitamin c. It feels like a million bucks if you aren’t that sick as well. I do wonder if everyone could afford such an IV, if we wouldn’t all skate through flu season unharmed.
But I guess you need validation from Harvard, Hopkins, the Mayo Clinic, and Columbia for that.
Because science MEDICAL.
“Is this something all hospitals now know? “
- - - - -
No.
If this information is something one may want to have applied to a loved one in the hospital ICU, it is unlikely that the overworked medical professional will do if they do not already know about it.
For that reason, the links to the information, medical abstracts, and the pdf of the protocol have been posted.
One may want to print these out immediately in case of need, as the doctors may look at studies on paper along - with - the protocol, where they will not listen to a patient or relative.
Multiple copies, put in a folder against need. Links disappear. One copy given to one doctor may disappear. Never give up your last copy.

Please reconsider your position. My Dad was an OBY-GYN. In his career he taught at Duke and was in charge of the OB-GYN at University of Maryland Medical Center. He spent his early and medium part of his career developing techniques for operating on fetuses to correct medical conditions because a fetus has an amazing recuperative capability. The idea is if you could sew up a clef palate while the fetus was still developing, then the baby would not have that condition. He was very successful and treatments that are considered run of the mill today were greatly resisted when he was developing them. Luckily, he was not alone and there were very rich and powerful people willing to back him up.
Additionally, look at the history of the doctor that discovered that the stomach ulcer is many times caused by bacterium. That doctor almost had his medical license suspended. No serious doctor would give him credence until he gave himself an ulcer by giving himself the bacterium and after he documented that he had the ulcer, he cured himself. 40 years ago it was not uncommon to die from a stomach ulcer.
My Dad told me that all new treatments receive incredible push back because many powerful doctors are absolutely certain that "you are wrong" (ego) and you are destroying someones' patient list, e.g. repairing cleft palates.
“Remember when Laetrile was the cancer cure that patients flocked to Mexico for treatment that wasn’t available in the U.S.? That didn’t turn out to well........”
Late 70’s my cousin was diagnosed with Hodgekins disease. His nutty wife was a quack hippy and talked him out of chemo in favor of laetrile. He died less than a year later.
That's just awful because it is curable.
Thank you, not quite yet. Soon, I think.
Perhaps some link suggestions would be helpful.
Thank you for this sensible advice. You write like one who knows.
>>>I’ve been taking Liposomal vitamin “C” for along time...
If anyone would like the recipe let me know...it’s easy to make.
Please post or send me your recipe by private reply. Thanks in advance. Have you tried any ready to use liposomal Vitamin C ? If so, what brand.
Thanks for the post Norski, wondering if Mom MD has seen this. Any thoughts Mom MD? My Dad was saved by the very expensive, now but now banned Zygris therapy.

"Addition of vitamin C, hydrocortisone, and thiamine into standard care of sepsis does not improve in-hospital or 30 day mortality."
April 2020.
---------------------------------------------------- https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31950979
"CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE:
In patients with septic shock, treatment with intravenous vitamin C, hydrocortisone, and thiamine, compared with intravenous hydrocortisone alone, did not significantly improve the duration of time alive and free of vasopressor administration over 7 days. The finding suggests that treatment with intravenous vitamin C, hydrocortisone, and thiamine does not lead to a more rapid resolution of septic shock compared with intravenous hydrocortisone alone."
