AVIAN (BIRD) FLU

(also see California or Santa Clara Flu)

Treatment of the Bird Flu with massive doses of ascorbate would be the same as any other flu except that the severity of the disease indicates that it may take unusually massive doses of ascorbic acid orally or even intravenous sodium ascorbate.  (Why the dose needed is somewhat proportional to the severity of the disease being treated is discussed in my paper published in 1981, Titrating to Bowel Tolerance, Anascorbemia, and Acute Induced Scurvy.)  I have not seen any flu yet that was not cured or markedly ameliorated by massive doses of vitamin C but it is possible that the bird flu may require even higher doses such as 150 to 300 grams a day.  Additionally, this flu could be primarily respiratory.  This means that hospitalization might be necessary.  If massive doses of ascorbate are not used, they may not be adequate.  Most hospitals will not allow adequate doses of ascorbate to be given.  (This is a legal problem because adequate doses of ascorbate are not practice of the community.)  Therefore, it may be up to the individual patient to have materials available for their own use.  These doses are easily tolerated by most but are much higher than doses thought high by 99.9% of the population.  Therefore, be very careful to read and understand this site.  If you want to use this ascorbate treatment in case you come down with this flu, please read all this now and be prepared.  I have seen runs on the market before with flues and you might not be able to buy ascorbic acid or have some physician give you sodium ascorbate intravenously when you need it.  Also, if you are not experienced with taking massive doses of ascorbic acid, practice before you have to.  Ascorbic acid is usually well tolerated by young people but it may be that if you have the slightest thing the matter with your stomach, esophagus or intestines, you better work with this before a crisis occurs and you have problems that you find too late.  Some people will have minimal gastritis that is no symptomatic and not even know it.  So practice and get help if you need it before a crisis.

The probable reason that birds carry this virus but it does not kill all of them is because birds make their own ascorbate.  It does kill some of the birds because this H5N1 strain is very toxic and exceeds the ability of the birds to make ascorbate in some cases.  Humans do not make ascorbate.  However, in our chemical plants we can make more ascorbate than a bird.  We just have to have the brains to know how to use it properly and adequately.  The so-called experts in this disease are either unbelievably stupid or have their heads up the rear of the drug industry when they do not use massive doses of ascorbate to treat these dying patients.  They will not even test the serum levels of ascorbate because when it is found to be zero only an imbecile would not know to use massive levels of ascorbate.  The drug industry would not like that so they will not test the blood levels of ascorbate.  Screw the patients. Viva la profits of the drug industry.

Because of the "cytokine cascade" which is described as massive in cases of bird flu, the initial doses of ascorbic acid should also be massive.  I would suggest like 12 grams every 15 minutes until diarrhea is produced.  Then, however, doses should be reduced but not much.  Listen to your body.  If there are many symptoms, keep taking doses that cause a little diarrhea.  You do not want constant runs because it is the amount you absorb that is important, not the amount you put in your mouth.  Since all flues have some cytokine cascade and since I have not hospitalized a single patient with a flu, it is hard to believe that massive doses of ascorbate would not be extremely helpful in suppressing the cytokine cascade in a bird flu pandemic.  However, the disease will have to be hit hard and fast to prevent serious respiratory difficulties because the first target is the lungs and respiratory difficulties may have to be treated with a respirator which will not be available in adequate numbers in case of a pandemic.

• Avian Influenza Difficult to Diagnose in Humans

  • Note that "autopsy revealed alveolar hemorrhage. Interval between onset and death was between 10 and 15 days."  It takes that long for the induced hypovitaminosis C to reach the degree of scurvy and then a few days for the hemorrhage to start.  All of this, of course, can be prevented with massive doses of sodium ascorbate intravenously and perhaps, if you are a good ascorbic acid taker, by bowel tolerance doses of ascorbic acid.

• Preparing for the Coming Influenza Pandemic,

By Grattan Woodson, MD, FACP,  Medical Director,  The Druid Oaks Health Center, Decatur, GA USA

• This is the most terrifying but possibly the most realistic worst case scenario of what could happen with the Avian Influenza Pandemic.
• It, of course, does not consider the use of massive doses of ascorbate.
• Note that the type 1 influenza, as described in this link, has components of hemorrhagic fevers.  This means a profound acute induced scurvy.  The best chance for these patients would be the immediate administration of massive amounts of sodium ascorbate intravenously.  It should be treated like EBOLA see http://www.orthomed.com/ebola.htm#doses  If the experts do not believe that there is acute induced scurvy, I defy them to measure serum ascorbate levels.

• US prepares for worst-case scenario with bird flu

• Deadly H5N1 bird flu virus found again in Romania

• Bird flu spreads to a quarter of Vietnam's provinces

  • Why is it asking too much to have these patients tested for serum levels of vitamin C?  The reason is that they know the results will be zero and that then only a fool would not use massive doses of ascorbate to treat the disease.  This would blow the top off the vitamin C secret and finally result in the use of massive doses of vitamin C in all infectious diseases and this would be a financial disaster for the drug industry.  To hell with the patients.  Let them die horrible deaths rather that reveal the vitamin C secret.  That is why they will not test the serum levels of vitamin C.

• WHO's Chan aims to prepare world for bird flu outbreak

• Bird flu pandemic a question of when, not if -WHO

  • They are predicting up to 7 million deaths and the experts will not try treating patients with massive doses of ascorbate.  With the world's greatest chemist. Linus Pauling, writing a book on Vitamin C, the Common Cold and the Flu; and with the subsequent modification of his basic program to higher doses to make them really work; and with links for "Vitamin C" and "bird flu", Google ~182,000,Yahoo ~36,000, there has to be something wrong with the "experts" that they will not treat these patients with massive doses of ascorbate.  The only reasonable explanation for this genocidal negligence is that they are trying to protect the interests of the drug industry.
  • It is of further interest that as this epidemic spreads over the world, maybe the physicians in one of the more uncivilized nations of the world may discover how to use massive doses of ascorbate and realize the importance of this substance in protecting against many of the agents of bacteriologic warfare and thereby prevent "backfire" against them and therefore give them an advantage in bacteriologic warfare that might make it feasible.
  • The whole reason that massive doses of ascorbate are so effective against a wide variety of diseases is that they can, for the first time, make it possible to eliminate almost all of the free radicals of many diseases.  If the physicians would pull their heads out of the drug industry's rear, they would recognize that this substance would be one of the most important means to treat all sorts of diseases.  This recognition, of course, would be a financial disaster for the drug industry and so has to be prevented no matter how many millions it kills over the years.

  • Face facts, if you get the avian flu there is probably not a damn thing you can do.  This is a tragedy because it is already known how to cure or ameliorate flues with massive doses of ascorbate but we are too much the pawns of the drug industry.  Learning how to use massive doses of ascorbate would be a financial disaster to the drug industry.

• How something so simple can be so deadly

  • It can be so deadly because the drug industry manages to keep the vitamin C secret away from the public.  All of these acute viral diseases (note by saying acute, I leave out diseases such as AIDS and chronic hepatitis C) make symptoms of inflammation and kill by way of free radicals.  Linus Pauling in his book on Colds and Flues documented how large doses of vitamin C can be helpful.  We have since found out that he was on the correct path but his doses were not large enough.  The magnitude of how much vitamin C is burned up by these diseases, I documented in the paper, VITAMIN C, TITRATING TO BOWEL TOLERANCE, ANASCORBEMIA, AND ACUTE INDUCED SCURVY  in Medical Hypotheses, 7:1359-1376, 1981.  In the 1970's in a large general practice in Incline Village, Nevada I saw hundreds of cases of acute viral diseases including at least 100 flu cases and did not even have to hospitalize one patient.  Local physicians who did not use massive doses of ascorbate had to hospital several patients each flu season.
  • The doses of ascorbic acid orally or sodium ascorbate intravenously have to be large enough to force a reducing redox potential onto the tissues involved in the disease.  Then, and only then, all of the free radicals in these tissues are neutralized, most of the symptoms eliminated, and the white cells rapidly kill the virus.  In cases where the white cells cannot completely eliminate the virus, symptoms are suppressed sufficiently (I named this situation "unsick") so as not to bother the patient much until the antibodies build up sufficiently to kill the virus.  Interestingly, the patient may stay "unsick" a day or two longer than they would have been uncomplicatedly sick, sick.  Complication never develop when sufficient doses of ascorbate are used.  This is because the "acute induced scurvy" in the primary sites of the viral infection of the disease cannot spread to adjacent tissues.  However, the elimination of the free radicals that mediate inflammations decreases the stimulation causing the immune system to make antibodies.  This is not a problem because the "unsick" condition is not very bothersome.  No patient who experiences this would trade this for being sick, and even worse, dying.

• Bird flu debate: remember the 1918 pandemic?

  • This is one of the most interesting analyses of the danger of the bird flu pandemic.  What is so sad is that undoubtedly the cure of almost all cases is already possible.  I have never seen a case of any type of flu that was not either cured or markedly ameliorated by massive doses of ascorbate.  The problem is that the drug industry cannot afford to make this cure known because it would be a financial disaster for them.  Everyone who depends upon treating of illnesses would be markedly affected if how to use massive doses of ascorbate were well known.  The problem we face here is how can we maintain this secrete just for the profit of the drug industry when millions of lives are at stake and even tremendous losses to all the economies of the world are at stake.
  • One should ask themselves why the worlds greatest biochemist, Linus Pauling, the winner of two Nobel prizes, would have come out so strongly in favor of treating colds and flues with massive doses of vitamin C.  He was on the right track but orthomolecular physicians have found even more massive doses safe and more effective.

• Recent Avian Influenza Outbreaks in Asia, 07/24/05

  • Note that birds and other animals (except for man, monkeys, Guinea pigs, and some fruit eating bats) make ascorbate.  Domesticated animals who make ascorbate make less than the more wild animals. Therefore, it is not surprising how avian flu distributes itself.  Wild ducks seem to carry the disease more without it killing them where it kills more chickens.  So the flu kills the lesser ascorbate producing birds.  Humans make no ascorbate so in the raw would be even more susceptible to some strains.  Humans, of course, can make more ascorbate than any other animal in their chemical plants; they just have to have the brains to know how to take it.  The drug industry and all their fellow travelers are fighting hard to hide the ascorbate secret because if the public finds out about it, it will be a financial disaster for the industry.

• A flu nightmare, 07/15/05

  • NOTICE TO THE CHORUS:  You better start stockpiling ascorbic acid for oral use and sodium ascorbate for intravenous use.  If this flu breaks out you will not be able to buy vitamin C in adequate forms and amounts for awhile.  Not everyone has their heads up the drug industry's rear but they are slow in preparing so there will be a rush on the market should the epidemic occur.  If we do not prepare ahead of time, many physicians will probably give intravenous sodium ascorbate to themselves and their families but will find some legal reason for not providing it to the public.  Even those local to a physician already using intravenous sodium ascorbate may find that they cannot be treated if they are too sick because of the legal liability of treating a patient outside the hospital if they need some symptomatic support.  And what hospital allows the use of massive doses of intravenous sodium ascorbate?  Get with it gang or you may die unnecessarily.

• Avian Flu: A State of Unreadiness (6/29/05)

   

• A nightmare scenario (6/20/05)
  • A quarter of the world's population, 100 to 360 million people are predicted that they might die.  Is the vitamin C secret worth that much even to the drug industry?  When the owners, presidents, and loved ones of these drug industry related businesses start dying of the avian flu, will they wonder if killing the millions they have already killed to keep the vitamin C secret was worth it?

• Vietnam faces dilemma over culling poultry as bird flu persists
  • It is well known that many diseases are species specific or that they may pass to different species with varying severities.  However, an almost obvious factor is whether the species produces ascorbate.  Man, higher monkeys, Guinea pig, and the African fruit eating bat do not make ascorbate.  Other species make ascorbate in their liver or kidneys.  This makes them far more resistant to diseases than humans.  It should be obvious that some diseases usually fatal to humans might exist in birds without being fatal in many cases.  Apparently the water fowl have not figured out how to stop making ascorbate so they can die so as not be culled out by humans.  Humans, on the other hand, can make far more ascorbate in their chemical plants but are kept ignorant of how to use this ascorbate to save lives from these diseases  so as to profit the drug industry.
• Bird flu epidemic could kill as many as 750,000 in Britain: estimate
  • These victims will die of free radicals generated by the bird flu virus unless the idiots will use the obvious treatment of using massive doses of sodium ascorbate intravenously until the acute phase is over followed by bowel tolerance doses of ascorbic acid until fully recovered.  Massive doses of ascorbate will absolutely neutralize those killing free radicals.  The public should raise hell and force the issue that massive doses of ascorbate should be used.  We can no longer tolerate the suppression of ascorbate just for the profit of the drug and related industries.  This is too many lives to lose for this ignorance.

• U.S. Tests Confirm Encephalitis in Bangladesh

  • I want to make sure I have this straight.  We are supposed to be relieved that this disease that has killed 23 is not the disease that has now killed 8.  Actually, it makes little difference because both can be undoubtedly cured with massive doses of ascorbate.  From very superficial evidence however, it would appear the this encephalitis might be a 200 or more gram disease whereas the bird flu is probably a 100 to 200 gram disease.

• Experts Fear Global Bird Flu Outbreak

  • Here we have another genocidal example of how massive doses of vitamin C will not be used against an acute viral disease.  By eliminating the free radicals generated by any acute viral disease in a timely fashion hardly anyone should die of these diseases.  Is it not interesting that with about half of Americans supplementing with vitamin C, that there is no listing of vitamin C in the annual indexes of major peer censored medical journals.  They will not even investigate massive doses of ascorbate.  If they do investigate ascorbate, they will use some puny dose such as four grams a day so that they can conclude it does little good.  The reason is that if the majority of physicians began to utilize massive doses of ascorbate (like 30 to 200 grams of ascorbic acid orally or 60 to 180 grams of sodium ascorbate intravenously), it would knock the hell out of all these acute viral diseases and be a financial disaster for the drug industry.  One cannot use massive doses of ascorbate on viral diseases without quickly coming to the conclusion of its beneficial effects on allergies, autoimmune diseases, bacterial infections, burns, injuries, etc.  All diseases that generate massive amounts of free radicals can be cured or markedly ameliorate by massive doses of ascorbate.  All this would be a financial disaster for the drug industry.  Never mind the hundred of millions of lives it would save and the trillions of dollars it would save over a period of time.

  • The doses of ascorbate that should be used against the bird flu is probably similar to what should be used on the current flu unnecessarily killing thousands of people.  Unnecessary because if these people were treated in a timely fashion with massive doses of ascorbate, they would not die.

  • The reason that these massive doses of ascorbate work against free radicals is by flooding the affected tissues with massive amounts of electrons (a reducing redox potential).  These electrons in adequate amounts will always neutralize the free radicals generated by the disease.  This fact is a matter of chemistry, not medicine.  We do not have to worry about which flu, which antibodies, which immunization, etc.  All these diseases make you sick by way of free radicals.  No free radicals and your immune system makes short work of the whatever acute viruses.  Chronic viral diseases are helped but are more complicated to treat and are not as easy cures.

  • With an acute viral disease, what is important to determine is what gram a disease it is.  For instance, a 100 gram cold is a cold that allows the patient to take 100 grams of ascorbic acid in many divided doses per 24 hours before diarrhea is produced.  What is happening here is that the free radicals generated by the disease processes are being neutralized by the electrons carried by the massive doses of ascorbate.  As the ascorbate destroys the free radicals, the free radicals destroy the ascorbate.  This is because ascorbate with all its electrons is very stable.  But when it loses its electrons and becomes dehydroascorbate, its half-life is just a few minutes unless the electrons are returned.  Therefore, other things being equal like the health of the bowel, the sicker a person is, the more free radicals, and the more ascorbate is destroyed.  Of the ascorbate, what does not reach the rectum does not cause diarrhea.  The diarrhea is not really a pathologic diarrhea but is caused by a hypertonic situation in the lumen of the rectum that attracts water into the rectum and causes the loose stools.  Intravenous sodium ascorbate does not cause diarrhea because the hypertonic situation, if there is one, is outside the rectum.

  • It turns out that the forcing of a reducing redox potential (eliminating all the oxidizing free radicals) into the tissues involved in the disease is a threshold phenomenon.  It is like arm wrestling where each pushes, pushes, pushes, and then one side or the other wins.  The mathematical formulas describing redox potential involve logarithms.   Logarithms go low, low, low and then rapidly go high. They are useful in mathematics mostly in the transition part where they begin to go up.  Anyway, the "ascorbate effect," that is where the ascorbate suddenly eliminates the free radicals only where a high enough concentration of ascorbate and its electrons force their way into the diseased tissues in a high enough concentration to suddenly neutralize the free radicals.  Lower doses of vitamin C may have a vitamin effect and eliminate some complications or slow down the spread of the disease throughout the body but this dramatic sudden "ascorbate effect" only happens at that high threshold dose. 

  • Often this threshold effect can be accomplished with oral ascorbic acid in a person with a normal GI tract but with patients with tricky bowels or with more serious diseases, like a 300 or more gram disease, intravenous sodium ascorbate has to be used.  Since ascorbate by vein is about 2 1/2 times more powerful than by mouth, very serious infections involving massive amounts of free radicals can be treated.   Ascorbate is extremely well tolerated by humans.  I have personally taken 180 grams of sodium ascorbate intravenously in 8 hours when well and still felt great.

  • I strongly suspect that hemorrhagic fevers such as Ebola, or Lass fever are examples of 300 to 500 gram diseases.  The acute induced systemic scurvy induced by these massive amounts of free radicals generated by these types of diseases could still be neutralized by more massive doses of ascorbate intravenously.  The implications of this is of obvious importance with bacteriologic warfare with diseases such as smallpox.

  • Opponents of massive doses of vitamin C will worry about stupid things like metabolic acidosis that never happen.  When someone says something bad about massive doses of vitamin C, ask them how many patients have they treated with massive doses of vitamin C.  Or if they are just mouthing the opinions of others, how many patients have those others treated with massive doses of vitamin C.  You will find that they have no experience.  All physicians who have experience with massive doses of ascorbate are advocates of massive doses of ascorbate.  The opponents are either just stupid or they are part of the genocidal plot to preserve the profits of the drug industry.  This is why you will not find any of this in the peer censored literature.

  • This is not to say that there are not some skills necessary to properly utilize massive doses of ascorbate but most of the questions can be answered by careful study of this site and I stand ready, as I am sure all the other physicians experienced in the use of massive doses of ascorbate, to help physicians who want to learn.  Unfortunately, the usual physician who calls finally at the urging of the family of the dying patient, has a patient in kidney failure, heart failure, strokes, multiple infections, and in the final hours of life.  Please do not let these infections get that far before asking for help.  I do have a number of physicians who have called in time about themselves or members of their family.

Bird flu outbreak started a year ago

• Note that this and all flues involve free radicals and if you neutralize the free radicals with massive dose of ascorbate the disease will be ameliorated or cured.  We do not have to wait for a drug or immunization.  We have the treatment now but recognizing this cure would be a disaster to the drug industry.  Face facts, the ignoring of the power of massive doses of ascorbate is only to keep the profits of those wanting to keep people sick.

Asian Stocks End Lower on U.S. Losses, Bird Flu Jitters

• Well, how we are getting down to a serious subject, money.  Will it occur to some wealthy people who are loosing money over the fear of this bird flu that there would be no fear if everyone realized that it could probably be cured and certainly ameliorated with massive doses of ascorbate.  But then they will have to evaluate how much they gain from profits of the drug industry by keeping ascorbate secret.  Face it, lives do no matter.
