How Vitamin C helps in Chronic Fatigue
Dr. Peter Dobie

• Vitamin C is a powerful oxidant (free radical
  scavenger). Intravenous (IV) vitamin C is given
  by a drip into a vein in the arm. It is possible
  to give much higher doses of Vitamin C
  intravenously than it is by mouth, thus achieving
  very high levels in the bloodstream.
• IV Vitamin C is an extremely safe form of
  treatment and very rarely has any side-effects.
  It is much safer than most drugs made by
  pharmaceutical companies.

When giving intravenously, IV vitamin C is often
combined with other important nutrients such as
magnesium, B vitamins, glutathione and lipoic
acid. Although considered by the medical
community to be an unconventional treatment, IV
vitamin C has been given in high doses to many
thousands of people in many countries over the
last forty years.

• Clinical experience has shown that IV vitamin C
  can be useful in the following situations
• the treatment of chronic fatigue
• the treatment of viral infections such as
  influenza, the common cold, glandular fever
  and shingles
• the treatment of bacterial infections such as
  cellulitis (a common skin infection)
• the treatment of burns and stings
• for people who are feeling run-down because
  they are working long hours or doing a lot of
  travelling, and who would like an energy boost
• to boost the immune system in people who are
  suffering from frequent infections, particularly
  viral upper respiratory infections
• cancer

• When used to treat influenza or a cold, IV
  vitamin C is most effective if given in the first
  twenty-four hours, as soon as symptoms first
  appear.
• Some doctors claim that high doses of vitamin C
  cause kidney stones, but this has been shown to
  be untrue. IV vitamin C does not cause kidney
  stones. High doses of vitamin C should not,
  however, be given to people with poor kidney
  function.

• IV vitamin is not a cure for cancer, but there is
  increasing evidence that IV vitamin C can play a
  useful role in the treatment of cancer. In the
  laboratory, high doses of vitamin C have been
  shown to kill cancer cells, but not normal
  healthy cells. In the high doses used in cancer
  patients, vitamin C is probably acting as an
  oxidant rather than an anti-oxidant.

• Dr Dobie never advises patients to not have
  conventional cancer treatment, but IV vitamin C
  can play a role in cancer treatment in the
  following ways
• IV vitamin C can in some cases enhance the
  effectiveness of conventional cancer treatment
  such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
• 2. IV vitamin C can reduce the severity of some
  cancer symptoms and the unpleasant side-effects
  of chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

3. Cancer patients having IV vitamin C often
report an increased quality of life. 4. IV
vitamin C can be used, along with a focus on diet
and meditation, in those people who have chosen
to not have conventional cancer treatment. There
have been reports of some cancer patients making
a full recovery after treatment with IV vitamin
C, but these may have been cases of spontaneous
remission, so it is not possible to say with
certainty that the recovery was due to the
vitamin C.
