Intravenous ascorbic acid provides 24-hour fatigue relief

I try not to spend too much time perched on my soap box. But sometimes, I can’t help myself.

It’s insane to me how blatantly the mainstream ignores (or tries to hide) the value of using intravenous ascorbic acid (IAA) to fight various cancers.

But at least IAA is starting to get a little airtime.

In a recent IAA trial, Korean researchers aimed quite a bit lower than “cancer cure.”

They recruited 140 office workers. Half received 10 grams of IAA and half received a placebo.

Within two hours, fatigue scores dropped significantly in the IAA group compared to placebo. Fatigue relief lasted approximately 24 hours on average.

Researchers also report that oxidative stress was significantly reduced. No surprise there, of course. And it most likely plays a key role in reducing fatigue.

5 hour energy? Please…

This might not be a practical way for office managers to get the most out of their workforce. But imagine what a great way it would be to start the week. Monday morning, instead of coffee, check in at work first thing and get a shot of fatigue-busting vitamin C.

If that were to catch on, maybe some Monday afternoon, Bill Gates, feeling great, might sit back and think… “We should investigate this IAA and cancer thing. Hand me my checkbook. Let’s get started!”

It could happen.
