Isn’t that something? A deadly disease/condition that doctors might be able to stop with something as cheap and readily available as Vitamin C.

Pretty awesome!

I caught a patient going into septic shock a few weeks ago. He, like everybody else in the long term acute care facility, was taking ascorbic acid (vitamin C). That was a great night though because I’m pretty sure my persistence and due diligence saved a man’s life. Anyways, I see sepsis all the time. Vitamin C might help but i have my doubts that it is a miracle cure.

Looks like a biggie to me. But the article concerns a 'bolus' of vitamin C administered intravenously. It seems that a bolus is a dose or a large dose so I'm guessing that this wouldn't work with an oral dose. Unless a regular intake of vitamin C would be preventative.

It's almost infinite the amount of simple cures that are as effective or better the uber expensive out of control big pharma & co..

Salt for brushing teeth and curing gum problems , gargle kills sore throat germs , etc..

Epsom salt for almost everything, scrub a handfull over your skin near the end of a shower everyday.

Could go on and on, just do your own medical anthropological research and enjoy a long healthy life w/o pharmaceutical side effects.
