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!!!!

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.

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.

I might have been a bit skeptical of Dr. Levy's assertions until my own advanced cold was virtually wiped out after getting 100 grams of vitamin C by vein over a few hours. Many other infections and toxin exposures can be similarly neutralized by enough intravenous vitamin C. Dr. Levy combines his own experiences with over 1,200 journal references to make his book very compelling reading. This should be a textbook in the medical libraries.

This book has so much incredible information in it. Although I am not used to reading scientific information, nearly everything Dr. Levy has to say comes directly from journal articles. Intravenous (not oral) vitamin C is the key. Give enough (100 grams a day) and most viral diseases are simply cured. Pretty much the same story with toxins like heavy metals and pesticides. Dr. Levy also dispels the myths that seem to want to "debunk" vitamin C as such an effective therapy. Can't say I really would be surprised to find few doctors embracing this book. It would eliminate too many other established therapies.

Good compendium of the application of ascorbate as a primary treatment for infections etc as the title describes.

Due no doubt to liability statues, the book stops short of frank advocacy and clinical specifics that practitioners could use should they wish to employ the historical methods listed.

But those fatheads who think that ascorbate is useless or harmful would be doing themselves a favor reprogramming their brains with this book, which proves that the historical record suggests otherwise.

Dr. Levy did his undergraduate work at Johns Hopkins, studied medicine at Tulane and wound up teaching cardiology at Tulane. Then, to paraphrase his words, he began to think about what he was doing, and has written some truly exceptional books about medicine, which I have seen leave a DDS in awe.

One of the controversies in medicine is what use(s) Vitamin C is good for. Hardly any general practicioners use it, and many people in the realm of "alternative medicine" who talk about unknown therapies are flakes. Dr. Levy has brought light into this matter by painstakingly compiling a summary of all the studies published on its use.

I heartily recommend this book to anyone who feels he or she may become sick in the next 10 years.

Every patient and physician with an interest in good health should read this book. Vitamin C has challenged the medical profession for over half a century and this book explains why. Dr Tom Levy claims vitamin C might be the single most important substance in keeping you free from infection and gives the background evidence.

Tons of research on C since this book that has validated many of the claims - especially with regards to serious things like Aids. No studies to date that contradict any of the claims in this book. Now the Codex is trying to require a perscription for large doses of Vit C, simply because it causes diahrea (so they say). We all know the real reason. Levy - put it into words.

I highly recommend that every nurse, pharmacist, MD, and veterinarian own a copy of this well-written book. There is nothing speculative or sensationalized about it. There is simply case study after case study after case study of information on the viral inhibition and bacterial toxin inhibition capabilities of injectable ascorbate. It is exceptionally well documented and includes over 1200 journal references. They are well enough referenced for one to be able to go verify the content. I WILL be buying more copies of this book to give away. I read a lot of medical and natural healing books, but this one has just been added to my TOP 5 nutritional healing books! A must own reference. Dosing information is very well provided for all ages, body types. I feel quite certain that nobody can read this book and not come away with a renewed awe at the power of the intravenous, intramuscular, and oral uses of Vitamin C (actually it is not a vitamin).
