i have been using intravenous vitamin C in my medical practice for more years than I can recover. We administered IV Vitamin C at the office of the late Richard Ash, MD as well as at the Atkins Center for Complimentary Medicine on East 55th. At the Atkins Center we had a whole floor dedicated to intravenous therapies. Dr Atkins and myself prescribed high dose vitamin C to many patients. So it was not surprising to me when I read about two small studies using Vitamin C in COVID patients.
In both studies it was found that vitamin C decreased the mortality rates in patients with severe respiratory disease due to COVID 19. These were small studies- one being 56 patients and the other 150 patients. There will always be those that are skeptical about the use of Vitamin C for COVID as well as other chronic illnesses .
If given properly there are very few if any drawbacks to IV Vitamin C. The osmolarity must be calculated as well as the health care practitioner knowing the patient’s creatinine as well as cardiac status.
Until tomorrow…
