    The Pneumonia Diet
    You could set a new trend in weight loss of catching life threatening respiratory infections to deal with those kankles- could be all the rage in CAlifornia!

    Joking aside- hope things settle down for you. yo have been through so much you must surely be due a decent break by now.

    Thinking of you,

    IV C
    Most people don't realize that IV vitamin C has been used treat viral pneumonia since the early 1940s, and then as a major adjunct for bacterial pneumonia by alternative practitioners.

    Our RN, supported by our alternatives oriented MD, breaks serious respiratory illnesses with IV vitamin C - straight up for viral infections, in conjunction with basic antibiotics for bacterial infections. The Cochrane Collaboration has taken notice of some significant studies on lower dosage vitamin C for pneumonias, Vitamin C for preventing and treating pneumonia. Alternative medicine tends to use IV C and higher dosage for faster, more dramatic results.

    IV vitamin C in clinical medicine is described at length in Thomas Levy's book on IV Vitamin C, Curing the Incurable.

    Of course, we've been working with IV vitamin C for several years now and my wife uses it as essential part of her regimen since we have chemosensitivity lab results that show a chemo - vit C combo as most effective on her tumor cells, along with good results by various clinical measures.

    PS I agree with taanstaffi sp? on IV C for pneumonia; well documented. I've been doing high dose IV C for 2+years using UKansas clinical trail protocol not for infection though I haven't hadd one during this time. .
