The Origin of the 42-Year Stonewall of Vitamin C [now a 67-Year stonewall]
Robert Landwehr
Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine, Volume 6, Number 2, 1991, pp. 99-103
[www.seanet.com]
In the late spring of 1949 the United States was in the grip of its worst poliomyelitis epidemic ever. On June 10 a paper on ways to save the lives of bulbar polio victims was read at the Annual Session of the American Medical Association (subsequently printed in its journal, JAMA, September 3, 1949, pages 1-8, volume 141, no. 1). Following the talk members of the audience were invited to comment. The first speaker, a leading authority from Pasadena, focused on details of tracheotomy techniques caused when paralyzed breathing, swallowing and coughing muscles of victims threatened their lives. Why the next person was recognized is puzzling. The only national recognition he had received — and it was obviously very limited — was that his picture appeared in Ebony in 1947 for having delivered of a deaf-mute black woman the first known surviving, identical quadruplets in the country. Here is the abstract of his remarks as recorded in JAMA:
“Dr. F. R. Klenner, Reidsville, N.C.: It might be interesting to learn how poliomyelitis was treated in Reidsville, N.C., during the 1948 epidemic. In the past seven years, virus infections have been treated and cured in a period of seventy-two hours by the employment of massive frequent injections of ascorbic acid, or vitamin C. I believe that if vitamin C in these massive doses — 6,000 to 20,000 mg in a twenty-four hour period — is given to these patients with poliomyelitis none will be paralyzed and there will be no further maiming or epidemics of poliomyelitis.”
The discussion period was, of course, to be devoted to hearing relevant comments of the world’s leading authorities on the treatment of bulbar polio symptoms, not to airing another claim of a cure. One can imagine the silence that must have greeted this sweeping, out-of-place declaration by a small-town general practitioner. Four other speakers, three more bulbar experts and an anesthesiologist, followed. None referred to Dr. Klenner’s remarks.
The empirical, clinical basis for Klenner’s statement is found in his paper “The Treatment of Poliomyelitis and Other Virus Diseases with Vitamin C”, published in the July 1949 issue of the Journal of Southern Medicine and Surgery. On pages 211-212 he writes:
“In the poliomyelitis epidemic in North Carolina in 1948, 60 cases of this disease came under our care. These patients presented all or almost all of these signs and symptoms: Fever of 101 to 104.6°, headache, pain at the back of the eyes, conjunctivitis, scarlet throat; pain between the shoulders, the back of the neck, one or more extremity, the lumbar back; nausea, vomiting and constipation. In 15 of these cases the diagnosis was confirmed by lumbar puncture; the cell count ranging from 33 to 125. Eight had been in contact with a proven case; two of this group received spinal taps. Examination of the spinal fluid was not carried out in others for the reasons: (1) Flexner and Amoss had warned that ‘simple lumbar puncture attended with even very slight hemorrhage opens the way for the passage of the virus from the blood into the central nervous system and thus promotes infection.’ (2) A patient presenting all or almost all of the above signs and symptoms during an epidemic of poliomyelitis must be considered infected with this virus. (3) Routine lumbar puncture would have made it obligatory to report each case as diagnosed to the health authorities. This would have deprived myself of valuable clinical material and the patients of most valuable therapy, since they would have been removed to a receiving center in a nearby town.
“The treatment employed was vitamin C in massive doses. It was given like any other antibiotic every two to four hours. The initial dose was 1,000 to 2,000 mg, depending on age. Children up to four years received the injections intramuscularly. Since laboratory facilities for whole blood and urine determinations of the concentration of vitamin C were not available, the temperature curve was adopted as the guide for additional medication. The rectal temperature was recorded every two hours. No temperature response after the second hour was taken to indicate the second 1,000 or 2,000 mg. If there was a drop in fever after two hours, two more hours was allowed before the second dose. This schedule was followed for 24 hours. After this time the fever was consistently down, so the drug was given 1,000 to 2,000 mg every six hours for the next 48 hours. All patients were clinically well after 72 hours. After three patients had a relapse the drug was continued for at least 48 hours longer — 1,000 to 2,000 mg every eight to 12 hours. Where spinal taps were performed, it was the rule to find a reversion of the fluid to normal after the second day of treatment.
“For patients treated in the home the dose schedule was 2,000 mg by needle every six hours, supplemented by 1,000 to 2,000 mg every two hours by mouth. The tablet was crushed and dissolved in fruit juice. All of the natural “C” in fruit juice is taken up by the body; this made us expect catalytic action from this medium. Rutin, 20 mg, was used with vitamin C by mouth in a few cases, instead of the fruit juice. Hawley and others have shown that vitamin C taken by mouth will show its peak of excretion in the urine in from four to six hours. Intravenous administration produces this peak in from one to three hours. By this route, however, the concentration in the blood is raised so suddenly that a transitory overflow into the urine results before the tissues are saturated. Some authorities suggest that the subcutaneous method is the most conservative in terms of vitamin C loss, but this factor is overwhelmingly neutralized by the factor of pain inflicted.
“Two patients in this series of 60 regurgitated fluid through the nose. This was interpreted as representing the dangerous bulbar type. For a patient in this category postural drainage, oxygen administration, in some cases tracheotomy, needs to be instituted, until the vitamin C has had sufficient time to work — in our experience 36 hours. Failure to recognize this factor might sacrifice the chance of recovery. With these precautions taken, every patient of the series recovered uneventfully within three to five days.”
This paper is quoted at length to allow readers to judge for themselves whether or not Dr. Klenner made up all these details. In subsequent publications he gave details about curing life-threatening polio cases, and described his general procedures in his paper “The Vitamin and Massage Treatment for Acute Poliomyelitis”, appearing in the Journal of Southern Medicine and Surgery in August, 1952.
One of the reasons why Klenner’s declaration at the AMA annual session was undoubtedly met with silence was that since 1939 polio experts were quite certain that vitamin C was not effective against polio. There seemed little doubt that Dr. Albert B. Sabin, a highly respected figure in medical research even before he developed his successful vaccines, had demonstrated that vitamin C had no value in combatting polio viruses. In 1939 he published a paper showing that vitamin C had no effect in preventing paralysis in rhesus monkeys experimentally infected with a strain of polio virus. He had tried to corroborate the work of Dr. Claus W. Jungeblut, another highly respected medical researcher, who had published in 1935 and 1937 papers indicating that vitamin C might be of benefit. Sabin could not reproduce Jungeblut’s results even though he consulted Jungeblut during the course of the experiments. It seemed to be a fair trial, and Sabin’s negative results virtually ended experiments with vitamin C and polio.
How then could a Dr. Fred R. Klenner, a virtually unknown general practitioner specializing in diseases of the chest, from a town no one ever heard of, with no national credentials, no research grants and no experimental laboratory, have the nerve to make his sweeping claim in front of that prestigious body of polio authorities?

A native of Pennsylvania, Dr. Klenner attended St. Vincent and St. Francis College, where he received his B.S. and M.S. degrees in Biology. He graduated “magna cum lauda” and was awarded a teaching fellowship there. He was also awarded the college medal ‘for scholastic philosophy. There followed another teaching fellowship in Chemistry at Catholic University, where he pursued studies for a doctorate in Physiology.
Dr. Klenner then “migrated” to North Carolina and Duke University to continue his studies. He arrived in time to use his knowledge in Physiology and Chemistry to free the nervous system of the frog for a symposium, by immersing the animal in 10% nitric acid. Taken in tow by Dr. Pearse, chairman of the department, he was finally persuaded to enter the school of medicine. He completed his studies at Duke University and received his medical degree in 1936.
Dr. Klenner served three years in post-graduate hospital training before embarking on a private practice in medicine. Although specializing in diseases of the chest, he continued to do General Practice because of the opportunities it afforded for observations in medicine. His patients were as enthusiastic as he in playing “guinea pigs” to study the action of ascorbic acid. The first massive doses of ascorbic acid he gave to himself. Each time something new appeared on the horizon, he took the same amount of ascorbic acid to study its effects so as to come up with the answers.
Dr. Klenner’s list of honours and professional affiliations is tremendous. He is listed in a flock of various “Who’s Who” registers. He has published many scientific papers throughout his scientific career.

Thanks! This is a very important reference link and topic regarding Dr. Klenner’s use of Vitamin C to cure polio and other diseases. Contemporary, open-minded doctors frequently refer to Dr. Klenner’s research and success and acknowledge the fact his success was ignored then.....and still is except for those who (thankfully) have expanded their scope of knowledge and tools to practice functional and restorative medicine.

Vitamin C cured polio during the epidemic of 1948 – 49
(NaturalNews) It's common for shills and Internet "trolls" commenting on vaccination articles to reference the "eradication of polio" as a vaccine triumph. No mention is made of how polio continues, often from polio vaccinations but under different names.
But worse than that is the shield of silence obscuring a humble small town physician who cured polio victims in the late 1940s and early 1950s using mega-dosages of vitamin C. His name was Frederick Robert Klenner, MD.
His successful healing with high-dose ascorbic acid vitamin C was ignored even after producing papers on his cures and making a presentation of his findings on polio at the Annual Session of the American Medical Association on June 10, 1949 in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
The allopathic medical monopoly still refuses to acknowledge mega-dose vitamin treatments today. Both orthomolecular medicine and psychiatry are marginalized, forbidding its practitioners to make claims of healing while forcing them to work obscurely in the shadow of AMA/Big Pharma's monopoly.
(continue [www.naturalnews.com] )
Further to many similar reports, Integrative Cardiologist, Thomas E. Levy, MD, JD, writes about the efficacy of vitamin C not only in curing polio but many other diseases and infections. Dr. Levy devotes the Introduction to his book, Curing the Incurable, (with vitamin C) to emphasizing the need to evaluate the current state of traditional medical practices and he starts out with Dr. Klenner’s published success of curing 60 out of 60 polio patients and elaborates about other diseases as well.
Interested readers can click at this Look Inside link and scroll down through the beginning pages and Table of Contents to see the extensive list of infectious diseases cured by vitamin C. [www.amazon.com] It’s 469 pages of well-referenced documentation and a valuable addition to libraries of health-conscious individuals.
In his book, [b]Primal Panacea[/b], Dr. Levy continues to emphasize the value of knowing how to “prevent various diseases as well as treat and cure by neutralizing and reversing damage from virtually all toxins, venoms and radiation.” (as stated on the cover)
On the polio issue, Dr. Levy comments: Polio was one of the first viral diseases treated with high-dose vitamin C. The clinical results were awe-inspiring and the response of the medical community was totally dumbfounding! …and he goes on to elaborate about Dr. Klenner’s presentation of his curing those 60 patients out of 60 at the Annual Session of the AMA in 1949, and adds that …. “shockingly, there were no questions, no challenges, no suggestions to investigate the protocol…not even a question from those doctors in attendance!.”
Dr. Levy then relates: I can hardly describe the flood of emotions that came over me when I first came across Dr. Klenner’s work with polio patients. The fact that the polio virus was so easily eradicated by vitamin C was not surprising. My own successful experiences in using high-dose vitamin C convinced me of its’ potent virus-killing abilities. What overwhelmed me now was the new realization that vitamin C had been shown to cure this disease BEFORE countless people had been killed or crippled by it. Even now my heart aches when I see the pictures of polio victims in iron lungs, wheelchairs and leg braces…and then I get angry! If just a few in the medical community would have opened their eyes, it could have been much different.
This criminal negligence should cause the researchers, politicians, drug company executives, government officials and physicians who have fought to keep vitamin C out of the mainstream to hand their heads in shame. Yet, in the words of the obnoxious TV infomercial announcer, “but wait, there’s more!”
Dr. Levy devotes the book to both viral and non-viral diseases that can be cured by high dose vitamin C. 350 pages; 2129 supporting references. Another "must own" book.
In his book, Stop America’s #1 Killer – Reversible Vitamin Deficiency Found to be Origin of All Coronary Heart Disease… Dr. Levy cites over 650 scientific references on factors that influence development of heart disease, diabetes, our topic of causes of sticky, thick blood, and even elevated heart rate linked to vitamin C deficiency and higher risk of death and how using orthomolecular substances are beneficial for a variety of treatments and should no longer be thought of “just to prevent scurvy.”
The last chapter shows “convincing evidence from a recent study which demonstrates that slightly increasing your vitamin C tissue concentration reduces all causes of mortality. The decrease is continuous and inversely proportional to the level of vitamin C maintained in the system. People with the highest vitamin C levels had the lowest death rate from all causes and this reduction in death rate was independent of the presence or absence of other risk factors.” (Forward by Julian Whitaker, MD)
So bottom line is as he notes… orthomolecular substances should no longer be relagated to the back of the closet for safe, effective treatment modalities. Three good reference books. Easy to read, well referenced.
We have emphasized similar recommendations for nutritional strategies known to help with arrhythmia and related underlying factors contributing to arrhythmia in the same manner and over the years, we have documented testimonials of those who have eliminated their Afib by correcting various underlying deficiencies and imbalances as well.
