Vitamin C -- Cardiologist Thomas E. Levy, 'Liposomal vitamin C', and more:

Curing The Incurable - Vitamin C, Infectious Diseases, and Toxins: (3rd edition 2009)
[www.medfoxpub.com]
About the Author Thomas E. Levy, MD, JD is a board-certified cardiologist and the author of Primal Panacea and Stop America's #1 Killer!; plus three other groundbreaking medical books. He is one of the world's leading vitamin C experts and frequently lectures to medical professionals all over the globe about the proper role of vitamin C and antioxidants in the treatment of a host of medical conditions and diseases.

"With the current book, Thomas E. Levy, MD, JD, joins Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, MD, PhD, Linus Pauling, PhD, and Frederick R. Klenner, MD, among others, on the list of vitamin C’s heroic researchers." International Council for Health Freedom

"Dr. Levy’s book presents clear evidence that vitamin C cures disease. It contains over 1,200 scientific references, presented chapter by chapter. It does not mince words. It is disease specific. It is dose specific. It is practical. It is readable. It is excellent." Review in Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine

"At a time when EU legislation is set to ban many vitamin and mineral supplements, a few enlightened doctors are willing to educate us about the benefits of taking them." Martina Watts

"Levy’s book is unmatched in the medical literature. The Vitamin C Foundation credits Levy with 'doing an almost impossible feat of reading, analyzing, and clearly explaining the meaning of the massive science behind vitamin C.'" Owen Fonorow, in the Townsend Letter

Review by Owen R. Fonorow

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 Drs.Klenner, Cathcart and others have for fifty years.

Stop America's #1 Killer (2006)
[www.amazon.com]

Book description
From the Inside Flap: For decades traditional medicine has been laboring under the premise that Coronary Heart Disease is essentially a problem caused by high levels of serum cholesterol in the presence of high blood pressure. During the same period of time we've seen gargantuan efforts to control these presumed culprits with diet, exercise, and drugs. So, how are we doing? Not well! Coronary Heart Disease has grown from a rare cause of death in the early 1900s to America's #1 Killer! Could the entire working premise be wrong? Certainly, our pathetic track record is enough to call traditional treatment modalities into question. But, Thomas E. Levy, MD JD didn't stop there. With meticulous research into the existing medical literature, he claims to have not only found the real cause of Coronary Heart Disease, but the cure as well. His claims deserve serious consideration by the medical community, governmental leaders, and the American public who continues to be at monumental risk from America's #1 Killer.
From the Back Cover: In the next 24 hours, over 2,500 Americans will die from Coronary Heart Disease (CHD). The financial impact of CHD during that same 24 hours will approach $5,500,000. Based on governmental health statistics, over 25 million Americans are currently diagnosed with CHD and during the next 12 months, over 600,000 of us will die from this disease. Beyond the age of 50, your chances of suffering from CHD are greater than the chance of getting heads in a simple coin toss. Stop America's #1 Killer! provides overwhelming evidence that some conditions which we now consider as risk factors for CHD 1) all start with the depletion of arterial vitamin C levels (arterial scurvy) and 2) are often just the body's way of compensating for the weakness in arterial walls caused by arterial scurvy. This book also offers a protocol for preventing and reversing the arterial blockages that cause heart attack

Two years ago Barry G. presented the topic Must see video [www.afibbers.org]
Just come across this video regarding a New Zealand guy who the doctors had given up on and advised the family the man should be unhooked from the life machine and allowed to die. The family insisted that he be given one last chance by giving him high dose Vitamin C and the results can only be discribed as miraculous. The x-rays taken before and after taking Vit C are unbelievable, just two day apart. I would advise to watch the video all the way thru as there also is a very important statement about Leukemia at the end. (continue)

Jackie replied [www.afibbers.org] saying:

Barry,– thanks for the reminder. Last year, I listened to an impressive and enlightening teleconference with Dr. Thomas Levy on his approach to using Liposomal Vitamin C, …especially useful when one doesn'’t have access to IV vitamin C or as a daily preventive measure. The liposomal form allows for large doses and does not have the same problem that typical oral vitamin C does… i.e, the bowel flush and inability to achieve the high therapeutic doses needed. Not everyone will have access to IV vitamin C, or be able to argue a case for its use should a dire situation arise, so knowing about this liposomal form is important.

The literature on Lypo-Spheric Vitamin C is very interesting. I haven'’t tried it yet, but plan to do so soon, not only as a remedy but more of a preventive measure and to see what other overall benefits or improvements show up - like improved energy and vision.

Here’s the source for Liposomal C… and a video clip with Dr. Levy presenting.

The above topic inspired a closer look at Vitamin C with the topic Opinions to the contrary, Linus Pauling was always right about Vitamin C [www.afibbers.org]

Thanks Erling. There is a considerable brain drain when you are not posting. I appreciate the research you do. Dennis

Hi Dennis -

Thanks for taking the time to appreciate this science for which I'm just a messenger. That the powers-that-be have kept this life-saving knowledge away from 'conventional' medical practice is worse than outrageous -- in a proper system it would be criminal. Vitamin C is just the tip of the iceberg, but by taking a good look we get a sense of the rest of it. Please read the 1991 The Origin of the 42-Year Stonewall of Vitamin C by Robert Landwehr [www.seanet.com] (now a 63 year stonewall)

A good friend was recently diagnosed with Lyme Disease, a highly prevalent bacterial spirochete infection, so it seemed a good time to revisit the anti-bacterial efficacy of Vitamin C, especially the "liposomal" form which is said to be many times more effective than even intravenous C. Please see So what are liposomes, exactly? at [www.livonlabs.com]

Apparently it's not true that Lyme is transmitted only by ticks --- in Healing is Voltage by Jerry Tennant, MD there is this:
"Although it was traditionally thought to be due to a tick bite, it is now clear that Lyme disease is spread the same way as colds and flu -- airborne. For this reason, almost everyone in the US is a carrier of this organism. If you do a fluorescent antibody test for the Lyme bacteria, you will find that most of us have it... If you put a drop of blood on a cover-slip and then onto a microscope slide, you will just see the blood cells. Now let the slide sit there for a few hours so that the cells consume the oxygen, and you will almost always see what appear to be Lyme spirochetes crawling out of the red blood cells. See the image that I took with a phase contrast microscope in a patient known to have Lyme disease (p. 248). You will find this same pattern in almost all Americans if you bother to look for it."

The standard treatment for Lyme is of course pharmaceutical antibiotics -- lengthy, expensive, possible bad side effects, and largely ineffective, hence this repeat look at Vitamin C. Two years ago we looked at 'nano-particle' colloidal silver as a potential cure for Lyme: [www.afibbers.org]

Best wishes!

Erling.
