Relative Died from Sepsis - Want to be able to give IV/C at home

Post by ofonorow » Wed Nov 30, 2016 12:02 pm

Dear Owen

A relative of mine died from sepsis.

While in ICU his family asked for vitamin C iv. Surprisingly they agreed:
"Usually we give this in the burn unit -3 x 10 gram-, but okay, it is not expensive so I can do that. But max 3 x 10 gram, and if the kidneys are bad, I will give 10 gram once only."

An hour later they said that they could start the iv C only next day because the pharmacy was closed (it was evening and weekend).

Another hour later the patient died.

My question: I don't want this ever to happen again and have vitamin C for iv ready at home in case of emergency. It should look professionally prepared, otherwise the doctor will refuse to use it - which is understandable.

I live in Europe so I guess you don't have any addresses where I can get this.

But I found on your website that it should be compounded by the pharmacy.

Could you please give me the compounding instructions?

Thank you


The rules in Europe may be different, but in the USA, the answer is to find a hospital willing to approve IV/C by adding it to the pharmacy. This is discussed on Dr. Saul's Doctoryourself.com web site. (In your case, the pharmacy in a hospital was closed??)

We stress that sterile vitamin C is available in the USA for injection from compounding pharmacies.

However, it is true that more and more alt. docs are following in the footsteps of of the late Dr. Robert Cathcart III, MD, and using off-the-shelf sodium ascorbate to make IV/C solutions for intravenous infusion and injection (per the link you provided). Cathcart believed that a 50/50 sodium ascorbate/sterile water solution is self-sterilizing.

Like you I have searched for alternatives that are ortho and human-friendly to administer... IV-C is beyond my abilities I believe but there is another way to use C that would be our own choice... why? because I found a report of a doctor using hyperbaric o2 and his protocol was simple and comfort-providing... he had the nurse-monitoring set so that if the patient's heart rate rose to 120bpm then they would put the patient into the hbot chamber and do a treatment... the relief for the patient's heart and immune system and brain was clear and the patients given that protocol all survived.

We are aware that hospitals here that have hbot chambers all use the mongo $250grand models like the Secrest but we've also seen that in a recent DOD (traumatic brain injury) study on the use of hbot vs the usual standard of drugs and talk, they used the little portable chambers (about the price of a pickup truck with some used available even lower) as the PLACEBO....

well wouldn't you know, those who did the 'placebo' hbot (like used by athletes) did as well as the big secrests AND both beat the standard drug approach... so the published research advertised that don't bother with hbot b/c "it didn't do any better than placebo !!" imagine such a farce and open fraud... yet the media lapped it up... infuriating!

so what about europe... well I do know that in Europe, the regulators were not as successful at hampering public access to small 'placebo'-type models with levels of hyperbaric pressure like the 1.3ATA used in the USA likely for the 'placebo'... chambers in the EU can do 1.5ATA.. and as I recall, the MS patients of Britain banded together and set up their own network of sites where they charge only $15 or somesuch for a treatment when I read last... so there must be a decent market in used chambers..

Plus for pneumonia patients (IIRC from searching their research, quite extensive, may even have more sepsis data), the Russians added antioxidents, like our own C orally if possible... and anyone feeling poorly should start immediately upping their dose-levels of C... agreed? especially with Irwin Stone's research showing that the levels of the C (ascorbic acid vs DHAA) are predictive of survival of the patient IF THE RATIO IS OVER 1.. imagine that.. taking that extra C pushes the numerator up, automatically making the ratio higher and survival more likely.... and even better, with more C then the DHAA is *likely* less (because DHAA is the total ascorbic acid minus the 'reduced' C that you are adding with your dosing)...

and once you start reading up on hbot you will see that your anticipated chamber has so many other benefits for your family's idea of your own recovery room in your own home that you'll wonder how it's possible that you would ever think it would be unneeded except for a sepsis emergency... broken bones heal better, stroke patients heal, heart attacks can be interrupted, child birth is wholly different and safer, drowning and carbon monoxide... all so compatible with our reading of C and such antioxidants...

And no I don't own stock or sell these favored chambers... we however do have a pair that we use for our cat rescue work and use them regularly, such as post surgery... or pre-surgery even is listed in the benefits..... just like C

hope this helps as we are advocates of using IV-C at the veterinary hospitals BUT JUST DISCOVERED THAT YOU SHOULD **NEVER** USE IT **DURING** SURGERY... NEVER... Dr Thomas Levy, when we talked to him about the results we had seen said he hoped the kittens would forgive us for trying to improve their safety and healing..... only during surgical removal of mercury amalgams in HUMANS would he venture as an exception.. ttyl..

and btw, those kittens are doing well enough, just seemed more *aware* of their trauma than usual.. next time, oral C in the buildup period before surgery (as always), maybe a squirt when we drop them off with instructions to the staff to return our kittens to the carrier (now to be equipped with north-up-magnetic floor to immediately accelerate healing) as soon as they are off the operating table like the staff does for ferals (not risking handling a frightened feral any more than needed as that can be alarmingly disruptive to hospital 'serenity')....

While I can't suggest an answer to your question, it may be comforting to know that huge progress is being made in mainstream medicine in regard to the use of IVC in sepsis and Acute Respiratory Stress Syndrome (ARDS). I think it is possible that it may become standard-of-care within just another year or two, and perhaps we won't have to worry about the possibility that the intensive care unit doesn't have it on hand:
