During the pneumonia epidemic in North Carolina in the 1940’s, after American soldiers returned from the war in Europe, a small-town physician used an anti-infective protocol of intravenous vitamin C to cure 42 cases of viral pneumonia. [1] During the same period, the physician used a similar treatment to cure 60 cases of viral poliomyelitis. All patients were clinically well within 72 hours. [2] This seemingly incredible event occurred before there was a polio vaccine. The doctor was Frederick Robert Klenner of Reidsville, North Carolina. Read more.

Protected Group Immunity, Not a Vaccine, is the Way to Stop the COVID-19 Pandemic
Posted May 1, 2020
Due to the lengthy development of at least 2 years, vaccines are not effective of stopping or controlling new epidemics. Group immunity (as the term “herd” generally implies animals other than humans) may be the only way to stop an ongoing new epidemic. However, unprotected exposure of the public to new pathogens (viruses) may result in high morbidity, mortality and economic losses. It may also seem irresponsible or unethical for governments not to offer any protection to its citizens. Early and sufficient use of vitamin C (along with vitamin D3, zinc, magnesium and other nutrients) is able to offer a high level of protection. Read more.
As Drug Failures for COVID Mount, Feds Ignore Natural Options
Posted May 1, 2020
Many COVID drugs are failing. Natural medicine may hold the key—but can government cronyism be overcome? Action Alert! A large analysis has found that antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine had no benefit for COVID patients, causing more deaths than standard care. Other pharmaceutical treatments are also turning out to be useless. Remdesivir is being touted by Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, but this is likely due to pressure to come up with a drug of the moment; some evidence has shown the drug has no benefit. Emerging evidence suggests that natural medicines like zinc, quercetin, and potassium could help, sometimes in conjunction with drugs, but the government refuses to acknowledge these benefits because nutrients aren’t as profitable for drug companies.

People Are Still Suffering from Scurvy

Is Quercetin a Safer Alternative to Hydroxychloroquine?
Posted May 1, 2020
A Chinese trial comparing clinical outcomes of COVID-19 patients treated with the antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine and those receiving standard of care alone reports “disappointing” result. The study did not, however, use supplemental zinc, which helps prevent viral replication. Evidence suggests hydroxychloroquine works for COVID-19 because it acts as a zinc ionophore, meaning it shuttles zinc inside your cells. Read more.

Forms, Doses, and Effects of Vitamins C and E
Posted May 1, 2020
Vitamin and mineral supplements are sold in several forms. Some vitamins are sold as “natural,” which often means the product has been purified from a plant or animal product. Others are synthetic, which can mean that the biochemical has been manufactured from chemicals that were not directly obtained from plants. But the terms “natural” and “synthetic” can be confusing, because in some cases, a “natural” vitamin product does not necessarily mean the best buy, as it may be expensive and without pure vitamin content. In other cases, the more expensive “natural” form is superior to the “synthetic” form as it contains a higher level of the bio-active vitamin. Read more.
