Amazing details you've never heard about vitamin

So Crazy It Just Might Work

I’ve got an idea that will make some lucky drug company billions of dollars for many years to come.

They can thank me later.

Vitamins, herbs and other natural agents can’t be patented. That’s why no one can get drug-company wealthy by marketing vitamin C. So here’s the plan: We turn vitamin C into a mainstream drug.

First we call on the FDA. To make this work, we’ll have to give FDA officials the impression they’re running the scheme.

Someone at the FDA will write down the names of the 10 largest U.S. drug companies on slips of paper. One slip will be pulled out of a hat, and the company whose name is on that slip (Drug Company X) will be sole U.S. patent- holder of vitamin C for the remainder of the century.

That’s right: For the next 90 years nobody else can make or market vitamin C in any form in the U.S.

Then stand back and watch vitamin C take off!

Without the shameful stigma of an “alternative” treatment, vitamin C will suddenly be recognized as the amazing healing agent it actually is. Early trials will “reveal” C to be the most potent anti-viral medication ever developed.

That’s just for starters. With the prospect of making more money than ever thought possible, Drug Company X will invest millions to test vitamin C as a cancer cure. In a few years, chemotherapy will be used less and less as cancer patients are regularly given C therapy.

Unfortunately, this plan will make some undeserving, lowlife drug company 10 times richer than Microsoft. I’m not crazy about that idea either. But it’s a small price to pay to recognize the true power of C so everyone can finally benefit.

Branded and forgotten

Here’s what got me dreaming about mainstream vitamin C…

Exactly 75 years ago, in January 1935, Dr. Claus Jungeblut published his discovery that vitamin C not only prevents, but also cures polio.

That’s right: prevents AND cures polio.

I’ll bet you didn’t know that. Almost no one does. That’s because Dr. Albert Sabin (one of the two leading polio researchers of the 20th century) tested vitamin C on polio in 1939 and found it to be ineffective.

Thing is, he used an absurdly low dose (400 mg – less than most of us take daily), so there was zero chance the vitamin would work. But the damage was done. The mainstream branded vitamin C as ineffective against polio and the brand stuck.

Meanwhile, Dr. Jonas Salk was hailed as a hero when he developed the first polio vaccine in 1955. In 1960, Dr. Sabin introduced an oral polio vaccine – a big hit with kids because the vaccine was infused in a sugar cube.

Years later, in 1976, Dr. Salk claimed that Dr. Sabin’s oral vaccine (a live virus) was the primary cause of every case of polio in the U.S. since 1961.

With that, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention flew into action!

I’m kidding, of course. With typical cluelessness, CDC officials began to back away from Sabin’s live virus vaccine…20 years later! And it wasn’t until 2000 that the CDC actually came right out and recommended that all polio vaccines in the U.S. be given by injection to eliminate risk of vaccine-associated polio.

All of this could have been avoided – and many lives saved – if Dr. Jungeblut’s original vitamin C research had not been dismissed and forgotten by the mainstream.

On this significant vitamin C anniversary it’s important to note that Dr. Jungeblut was a true vitamin C pioneer. After his discovery about polio treatment he went on to prove that high doses of vitamin C inactivated diphtheria toxin and tetanus toxin.

Inspired by his groundbreaking research, other scientists have shown vitamin C to be effective in treating pneumonia, kidney stones, cardiovascular disease, hepatitis, and cancer.

Happy anniversary, vitamin C. Someday the medical mainstream might catch up with you. If the money is right.

To Your Good Health,
