Thanks for that, Doug -- that was very interesting. And follows on the heels of something I heard recently -- that massive doses of liposomal Vitamin C are being used in Mexico to *cure* even late-stage cancer. MA

In 1949, he cured 60 out of 60 polio cases. It was probably Claus Washington Jungeblut, M.D. that first give Klenner the idea to employ Vitamin C for polio though he may deny it. Jungeblut published in 1935, his idea that ascorbic acid, Vitamin C, could inactivate bacterial and viral pathogens along with their toxins. Some of his earliest work was with bacterial toxins, such as tetanus, diphtheria, and staph toxins which he found could be inactivated by Vitamin C along with the polio, hepatitis and herpes viruses. Irwine Stone, the biochemist writes: "Within two years after the discovery of ascorbic acid, Jungeblut showed that ascorbic acid would inactivate the virus of poliomyelitis. This was followed, in 1936-1937, in rapid succession by other workers showing similar inactivation of other viruses: by Holden et al., using the herpes virus; by Kligler and Bernkopf, on the vaccina virus, by Lagenbusch and Enderling, with the virus of hoof-and-mouth disease; by Amato, on the rabies virus; by Lominski, using bacteriophage; and by Lojkin and Martin, with the tobacco mosaic disease virus. Thus, at this early date it was established that ascorbic acid had the potential of being a wide-spectrum antiviral agent." After Jungeblut's well known notoriety in the 1930s and 40s in Polio research, he seemed to disappear into anonymity along with all the research of Vitamin C as an antimicrobial. This was mainly due to the efforts of the famous, Dr. Albert B. Sabin. Dr. Sabin was the champion at this time in live polio virus vaccine research. He attempted to repeat Jungeblut's groundbreaking work showing that polio infected monkeys benefited by Vitamin C administration. Sabin could not reproduce Jungeblut's success which was later evaluated by Jungeblut, himself, as Sabin using far too low of dosages on monkeys, who were far sicker than his in the lab trials. Sabin gave one single small dose of 400 mg to only one animal and for only one day. Imagine giving a similar dosage of one of our current antibiotics and hoping for a cure? Impossible. Sabin's resulting negative published results effectively stifled all future work with Vitamin C in the context as an anti-viral compound. Sabin went on to perfect a live virus vaccine, but in the meantime, he came into conflict with Dr. Salk who worked at vaccinating polio from the dead virus perspective. As with Jungeblut's Vitamin C research, Sabin did everything in his power to condemn the work of Salk. He was quoted of being very bombastic and intolerant of new ideas. Here we see how medical history is such a fickle maiden. Salk would mostly have been stopped in his tracks from further work on a dead virus vaccine had it not been for Basil O'Connor, an appointee by Franklin D. Roosevelt. O'Connor was in charge of the goverment grant purse strings in stimulating polio research. Salk and O'Connor met by happenstance and O'Connor was impressed with this young researcher, Jonas Salk! He believed in Salk's work and was a nonfliching supporter of Salk and powerful enough to defy Sabin. In the end. Salk was allowed to complete his successful polio dead virus vaccine merely because he had friends in high places who never stopped funneling money to his lab! Just imagine what might have happened if O'Connor had met and liked Dr. Jungeblut or Dr. Klenner! Dr.Klenner in the late 1940s took Jungeblut's work a bit further by administering 20-40 grams of Vitamin C per day with stunning results. Andrew W. Saul writes: "Curiously, the only report on vitamin C and polio that Klenner had at that time read was Sabin's negative one. Klenner writes that his own "observations of the action of ascorbic acid on virus diseases were made independently of any knowledge of previous studies using vitamin C on virus pathology, except for the negative report of Sabin after treating Rhesus monkeys experimentally infected with the poliomyelitis virus." Then he reviewed the literature, finding "an almost unbelievable record of such studies. The years of labor in animal experimentation, the cost in human effort and in grants, and the volumes written, make it difficult to understand how so many investigators could have failed in comprehending the one thing that would have given positive results a decade ago. This one thing was the size of the dose of vitamin C employed and the frequency of its administration. In all fairness it must be said that Jungeblut noted on several occasions that he attributed his failure of results to the possibility that the strength of his injectable 'C' was inadequate. It was he who unequivocally said that ''vitamin C can truthfully be designated as the antitoxic and antiviral vitamin.'" And so went Dr. Klenner groundbreaking work, who inspired a few other renegades such as Dr. Robert Cathcart, Dr. W. Bellfield, Thomas Levy, but few others. doug
