5.0 out of 5 stars Medical Professional Excited Over This Book., March 25, 2004

By 

BRET PEIRCE (arizona) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Curing the Incurable: Vitamin C, Infectious Diseases, and Toxins (Paperback)

Having seen vitamin c infusions first hand,having witnessed complete remissions of Brain tumor,malignant melanoma,and adenocarcinoma,having used sodium ascorbate on my asthmatic daughter to stop her coughing at night when she had a cold, having crusaded for Linus Pauling to the condemnation of my medical colleauges,this book is a wonderful compilation of data that strongly implicates the AMA as being negligent in their oath and responsiblities.

This book officially affirms what I've been living for years. I have treated successfully oral herpes, chicken pox, mononucleosis, and respiratory viral infections for years in myself, my wife, and my family.

Finally, a vindication for Linus Pauling and great news for the human race. This book is the truth!!! The whole truth!!!!

Curing the Incurable, Vitamin C, Infectious Disease and Toxins by Thomas E Levy MD JD

Written with an eloquent flowing style, this book makes the case for Vitamin C as a remarkable medicine that has been overlooked by the medical establishment. Although the crowning achievement of modern medical science is the invention of antibiotics which cures bacterial infections, we have no antibiotics effective for acute viral illness.

Dr. Levy says this is incorrect because Vitamin C is a curative "antibiotic" for viral diseases when used properly in high enough dosage by IM or IV route.

Dr. Levy's book makes a number of points:

1) Vitamin C is not really a vitamin needed in trace amounts, it is needed in large amounts as a co-factor in oxidation-reduction reactions in the cellular biochemistry.

2) All animals, with the exception of primates, have the enzymes to make their own vitamin C. They do not need to consume Vitamin C in their diet, they make their own.

3) All humans (and primates) lack this final enzyme for the manufacture of vitamin C, and therefore we must consume Vit C in our diet. We have a genetic deficiency in GLO gulano-lactone-oxidase, the final step for the manufacture of vitamin C.

4) Because of this genetic defect, we all have a subclinical Vitamin C deficiency making us more susceptible to infectious diseases.

5) The 60 mg dosage RDA for vitamin C is adequate to prevent scurvy but is insufficient for optimal health.

6) Adequate human "Opti-Doses" of vitamin C based on animal studies is in the range of 3-5 grams per day, and this requirement increases during periods of stress or infection.

7) IV or IM Vitamin C in the appropriate dosage ranges has been clinically proven to cure acute viral diseases such as polio, acute hepatitis, measles, mumps, chickenpox, shingles, viral encephalitis.

The most amazing evidence presented in the book is the work of Frederick R Klenner, a doctor in North Carolina who cured 60 of 60 acute polio cases with IM or IV vitamin C and published his findings in Southern Medicine & Surgery, Volume 103, Number 4, April, 1951, pp. 101-107. Klenner wrote more than 20 other publications. Polio vaccine was introduced shortly afterwards, and Klenner's work with Vitamin C was simply ignored.

Because of the unconstitutional FDA ruling which prohibits Vitamin C manufacturers from informing the public, very few people are aware of this research showing the incredible benefits of vitamin C.

Missing from the book is the fact that most commercially available Vitamin C products contain a mixture of unbuffered L and R isomers of vitamin C, an inferior product. The buffered 100% L-ascorbate version of Vitamin C is vastly superior. Also missing from the book is a discussion of the Linus Pauling protocol for prevention of heart disease with Vitamin C, proline and lysine.

I have had numerous conversations about vitamin C with other doctor friends, and colleagues I have known for 25 years, and invariably any comment about Vitamin C is met with ridicule, laughter, and disbelief. Sadly, that is the current state of the medical establishment. Perhaps Dr. Thomas Levy's book will serve to change this, and one day soon, mainstream medicine will embrace a remarkable medicine that has been overlooked.

5.0 out of 5 stars Levy doing the impossible, December 21, 2002

This review is from: Curing the Incurable: Vitamin C, Infectious Diseases, and Toxins (Paperback)

Dr. Levy has done what should have been done long ago, made
sense out of the mass of scientific literature on vitamin C.
With more than 80,000 papers, Dr. Levy focuses on the 1200
most important studies. I predict that the Levy book will change medicine,
if for no other reason than patients who read it will demand
completely non-toxic, effective, IV vitamin C treatments from
their doctors.

Most medical doctors will feel like they have been punched in the
stomach, as their faith in what they have been taught
evaporates reading the Levy book. But they will get over it.
Perhaps, soon, medical doctors will begin to easily cure
infectious diseases in their patients using optimal dose
IV vitamin C as routinely as
Klenner, Cathcart and others have for fifty years.
