Awake Goy - The Facts:
A recent study has emphasized how effective vitamin C may be for COVID-19, and how effective it is for viral infections in general. They also recommend nutritional interventions given the history of vaccine failure for viral infections.
- Reflect On:
Why is published peer-reviewed research being labelled as false? Why are ideas presented in this paper, and in many others, heavily ridiculed and labelled a ‘conspiracy theory’ by the mainstream? Why do people believe it without investigating?
What Happened: Early on in the COVID-19 pandemic, many doctors and scientists were urging people to take vitamin C to help fight off a COVID-19 infection. These recommendations, which were based on years of science and data showing how effective vitamin C can be for viral infections, were instantaneously jumped on by Facebook-affiliated “fact-checkers” who claimed that these assertions were completely false. On top of that, multiple mainstream media outlets and other well-known media/science outlets did the same – which begs the question, are these outlets actually looking into the science, or are they simply relying on other organizations and entities to tell them what is, and what isn’t true? For example, an article published by LiveScience, a mainstream science website, states that “Vitamin C is extremely unlikely to help people fight off the new coronavirus.” How was LiveScience able to get away with such claims when they’re clearly not true? What’s really going on here?
Again, multiple studies clearly indicate that vitamin C can help prevent and even reverse viral infections. The latest example comes from a study recently published in Global Advances In Health & Medicine titled “Ascorbate as Prophylaxis and Therapy for COVID-19—Update From Shanghai and U.S. Medical Institutions.”
The study outlines just how effective vitamin C has been for viral infections. They use many examples, one of them being a randomized double-blind study of 1444 healthy military recruits in basic training from Korea that were treated for 1 month from February to March of 2018. Those receiving prophylactic ascorbate (vitamin C) had 80% fewer upper respiratory infections compared with those receiving the placebo, with the greatest benefit to never-smokers.
But what about COVID-19?
The authors note:
The Shanghai panel, and a parallel medical group in Guangzhou, are advising the use of high-dose IV ascorbate for the treatment of ARDS, along with other supportive therapies, including Vitamin D and zinc. We report preliminary progress in using this treatment for 50 consecutive cases treated in Shanghai hospitals, consistent with earlier reports from a meta-analysis of the use of IV ascorbate to treat sepsis. We provide an instructive clinical anecdote regarding a single family where one elderly member with cardiac and other major comorbidities developed and survived ARDS-related sepsis following daily treatments that included 15 g of IV ascorbate. None of her adult caregivers who had ingested between 2 and 10 g of ascorbate daily developed COVID-19.
The study goes on to explain that:
In an impressive series of papers, Prof. Paul Marik previously demonstrated the stunning capacity of ascorbate with steroids, Vitamin D, and other supportive treatment to reverse sepsis among critically ill patients.11 Further support is provided by a meta-analysis of 3 studies, including 146 patients in intensive care units that randomly administered IV ascorbate finding significant benefits in those being treated.11–13 When sepsis occurs, the cytokine surge and neutrophil accumulation in the lungs destroy alveolar capillaries. These clinical studies have shown that vitamin C can effectively prevent this process and can reduce alveolar fluid by inhibiting the activation and accumulation of neutrophils and reducing alveolar epithelial water channel damage that can induce vascular injury.
The idea that vitamin C can be effective is so strong that the authors corroborated their work with additional reports from the medical frontlines in China and Korea for the treatment of COVID-19. They use an example from a medical director in Wuhan Tongji Hospital who reports the following:
On the afternoon of 20 February 2020, another 4 patients with severe new coronaviral pneumonia recovered from the C10 West Ward of Tongji Hospital [Wuhan]. In the past 8 patients have been discharged from hospital … [H]igh-dose vitamin C achieved good results in clinical applications … [H]gh-dose vitamin C can not only improve antiviral levels, but more importantly, can prevent and treat acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress (ARDS).
From South Korea, a treating physician, Hyoungjoo Shin, provides the following report from March 2020:
At my hospital in Daegu, South Korea, all inpatients and all staff members have been using vitamin C orally … . Some people this week had a mild fever, headaches and coughs, and those who had symptoms got 30,000 mg intravenous vitamin C. Some people got better after about 2 days, and most had symptoms go away after one injection.
Furthermore, the authors emphasize that:
In March 2020, high-dose IV administration successfully treated 50 moderate to severe COVID-19 patients in Shanghai, China.14 The doses ranged from 2 g to 10 g per day, given over a period of 8 to 10 hours, for 5 to 7 days. For this group of recent patients, the oxygenation index improved in real time and all were discharged from intensive care and released from the hospital as of 23 March 2020.1
It is important to note that high-dose ascorbate has been clinically used for several decades with no serious side effects reported, aside from those that are carriers of G6PD who cannot receive more than 15 g a day because this increases their risk of hemolytic anemia and rare instances of oxalate nephropathy after long-term treatments. In fact a recent NIH expert panel document states clearly that a regimen of 1.5 g/kg body weight is safe and without major adverse events.3
They also mention what no government health authority has, and in some cases claim can’t help:
A recent consensus statement from a group of renowned infectious disease clinicians observed that vaccine programs have proven ill-suited to the fast-changing viruses underlying these illnesses, with efficacy ranging from 19% to 54% in the past few years. Accordingly, they advise that:
supplementing above the RDA for certain immune-supporting vitamins, promotes optimal immune function, helps to control the impact of infections, and could help limit the emergence of novel, more virulent strains of pathogenic viruses. We, therefore, strongly encourage public health officials to also include nutritional strategies in their arsenal to improve public health and to limit the impact of seasonal and emerging viral infections.19
One of the authors of the paper quite early on in this pandemic also had a message for fact-checkers via his YouTube Channel:
I was made aware that FB Fact Check claims “Shanghai did not officially recommend high-dose IVC for the treatment of Covid-19” (left on the above photo). Let me make it clear that not only Shanghai, but also Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, another major city in China, publicly endorsed high-dose IVC for the treatment of Covid-19. Those who does Fact Check, please be more careful.
The particular video for the quote above was removed for violating YouTube’s community guidelines. This isn’t a surprise, as YouTube has been transparent about the fact that they are removing any information about COVID-19 that does not come straight from the World Health Organization (WHO).
Corroborating Information Regarding Vitamin C:
A study published last month in Frontiers in Immunology titled “Quercetin and Vitamin C: An Experimental, Synergistic Therapy for the Prevention and Treatment of SARS-CoV-2 Related Disease (COVID-19)” concluded the following:
Quercetin displays a broad range of antiviral properties which can interfere at multiple steps of pathogen virulence -virus entry, virus replication, protein assembly- and that these therapeutic effects can be augmented by the co-administration of vitamin C. Furthermore, due to their lack of severe side effects and low-costs, we strongly suggest the combined administration of these two compounds for both the prophylaxis and the early treatment of respiratory tract infections, especially including COVID-19 patients.

According to an article written in the NY Post almost 5 months ago:
Seriously sick coronavirus patients in New York state’s largest hospital system are being given massive doses of vitamin C — based on promising reports that it’s helped people in hard-hit China, The Post has learned. Dr. Andrew G. Weber, a pulmonologist and critical-care specialist affiliated with two Northwell Health facilities on Long Island, said his intensive-care patients with the coronavirus immediately receive 1,500 milligrams of intravenous vitamin C. Identical amounts of the powerful antioxidant are then readministered three or four times a day, he said. Each dose is more than 16 times the National Institutes of Health’s daily recommended dietary allowance of vitamin C, which is just 90 milligrams for adult men and 75 milligrams for adult women. The regimen is based on experimental treatments administered to people with the coronavirus in Shanghai, China, Weber said.
Weber, 34, said vitamin C levels in coronavirus patients drop dramatically when they suffer sepsis, an inflammatory response that occurs when their bodies overreact to the infection. “It makes all the sense in the world to try and maintain this level of vitamin C,” he said. A clinical trial on the effectiveness of intravenous vitamin C on coronavirus patients began Feb. 14 at Zhongnan Hospital in Wuhan, China, the epicenter of the pandemic.
Why This Is Important: I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, we now have a digital authoritarian Orwellian “fact-checker” patrolling the internet telling people what is and what isn’t true. Should people not have the right to examine information openly, freely, and transparently to determine what “is” and what “isn’t” true, for themselves?
Why are so many doctors and scientists being censored all over the internet? Many of the world’s most renowned experts in the field are experiencing this. On top of that, information like vitamin C and other effective treatments are and have been experiencing the same thing, despite the fact that the points made and observations observed, as outlined by this study, are completely legit.
The Takeaway: The coronavirus has really served as a catalyst for many people to question actions that our governments and global health authorities take, and have taken. The amount of censorship of information, combined with mainstream media’s strategy to completely ridicule and label information that opposes the official narrative as a “conspiracy theory” has done nothing but wake people up to aspects of reality that did not once fit the frame.
On top of that. many people have suffered in many ways due to lockdown. More people may have already died from implications of lockdown as opposed to COVID-19.
How much longer will we “obey” and be turned against each other? Why can’t governments simply recommend measures they believe will be effective and explain the science on both ends of the spectrum instead of enforcing mandates that may not be completely safe and effective for everyone? Do we really live in a democracy when so many citizens, scientists, and doctors have had their voices completely silenced? Are we moving towards an authoritarian type of existence under the guise of goodwill and necessity? Are we letting corrupt, immoral, and unethical entities tell us what is instead of actually looking into it ourselves? How much influence does mainstream media have over the perception of the masses, and how much have we been misled? Why are other treatments being ridiculed and why are we being made to believe that a vaccine is the only solution, and nothing else can be a possibility?
At the end of the day, many people’s perception of the world is shifting. We are experiencing, as a collective, a shift in consciousness that has people looking at our world in a different way and asking why we live the way we live, and can we create something better for ourselves? Why do we keep voting and participating in a system from which no change can come from?
