Medical discovery for sepsis moves to next phase of human trials (Sodium ascorbate = Full recovery in three hours & no side effects)

Scientists have proven that a formulation they pioneered alleviates deadly sepsis.

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

Yugeesh Lankadeva said sepsis is notoriously difficult to treat and is often deadly.

"Sepsis accounts for 35–50 percent of all hospital deaths. It occurs when the immune system fails to fight off an underlying infection, causing life-threatening falls in blood pressure, multiple organ failure, and death," Lankadeva said.

"In our trial, patients were given sodium ascorbate into their bloodstream, resulting in promising improvements to multiple organs."

Rinaldo Bellomo, said the previous part of the trial in his department involved 30 adult sepsis patients between October 2020 and November 2022.

While receiving hospital intensive care, half the patients were randomly allocated to receive sodium ascorbate, and the other half a placebo. The study found that patients with sepsis who received the sodium ascorbate treatment:

—produced more urine, a sign of improved kidney function

—required less of the clinically used drug, noradrenaline, to restore blood pressure

—showed signs of improved function in multiple organs.

"Sepsis is the biggest killer in intensive care units," Professor Bellomo said. "It often develops so quickly that patients are already critically ill by the time they reach us. A treatment that acts quickly, is safe and highly effective would be an absolute game-changer."

"Through our showing reduced levels of oxygen in tissues in sepsis, we identified sodium ascorbate as a possible treatment. We've seen dramatic results in our work with preclinical studies, where an extremely high dose of sodium ascorbate resulted in full recovery within just three hours, with no side effects. It's heartening to see all those years of painstaking research pay off with a treatment now within reach for patients," Professor May said.

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.

[Jane Long]

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

Yep....and, yet another thing the lying FRoctors claimed did NOT work, for china virus pts.

[wintertime]

This is encouraging news.

[Jane Long]

Sounds similar to Pauling’s findings.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Now for full sale clinical trials.

[devere]

Linus Pauling was a great chemist and vitamin C popularizer; but he didn’t treat and cure actual patients with vitamin C like Dr Frederick Klenner.

[Chauncey Gardiner]

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

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

[Rusty0604]

I just learned something new!

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...

[devere]

The advantage of a hospital treatment is they can charge an exorbitant amount for an inexpensive treatment; so perhaps they will be more likely to use it due to the high profit margin.

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

Because it is cheap. I'm sure they will be more interested if they can change the label and charge a 2000% markup.

Exactly. It appears from the article that they administered via IV. I'd like to see a similar study with C dissolved in water, and consumed.

[grey_whiskers]

I no longer have as much faith as I used to in either the medical establishment, or in published studies: it is dollar-driven, not really data-driven.

After fighting the clot-shots trolls, I tend to have less patience than I used to with people pushing the consensus narrative “because SCIENCE™!”

[devere]

People in intensive care for sepsis aren’t able to consume enough vitamin C with water to help themselves. But at home battling the flu that would work. And Livon Labs lipo-spheric vitamin C, estimated to be 5 times more effective than IV vitamin C, would help anyone who is still conscious.

[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.

I think IVs are always better...more direct to cells
