In 1959 DR Klenner published his revolutionary book THE KEY TO GOOD HEALTH – VITAMIN C
His book is chock full of case reports, clinical observations, and clinical studies from his work in the 1940s and 1950s showing the extraordinary breadth of medical problems that he demonstrated can be helped by Vitamin C.

His first chapter leads off with this subheading – The Master Key to Perfect Metabolism is the detoxifying effect of Vitamin C on all contaminants in your blood.
He references one of the worlds’ the greatest scientists and brilliant minds Linus Pauling, who was the only man to win two Nobel Prizes – one for science, and the Nobel Peace prize. He was a devoted advocate for bringing to the public the growing body of knowledge about Vitamin C’s positive health effects. He was known for personally taking in at least 3,000mg /day for most of his adult life until his death at nearly 94 years old.
Next in Dr Klenner’s book he asks “is Vitamin C an anticancer vitamin? He credits another pioneer in Holistic Cancer care J.U. Schlegel, Chairman of Tulane University’s Urology Dept. with his anti cancer protocol who said that after 5 years of study,” we have enough circumstantial evidence to warrant prescribing 1,500 mg of Vitamin C daily to prevent recurrence of carcinoma of the bladder.”
As a summary of the physiology that is improved by Vitamin C, Dr Klenner writes, “Vitamin C is important and necessary to the collagen, the
intercellular cement, the walls of the blood vessels, dentine, cartilage, callus and osteoid bone tissue. It is the basis of connective tissue. Any fracture or wound will not heal without Vitamin C. The growth of children and their full and healthy development need vitamin C in their nutrition. It is basic to individual health at all ages, but particularly elderly people.” https://drsobo.com/iv-vitamin-c-therapy/
VITAMIN C AND INFLAMMATION
H Bacchus, MD of George Washington U. wrote, Ascorbic Acid and the physiology of the pituitary-adrenal axis which was included in the classic work STRESS by H.Selye as a part of 100 related articles presented in that work. He says, “Vitamin C is the key factor that swings the body chemistry to oppose inflammation, because it participates in the production of the adrenal cortex hormones whose activity furnishes body protection… because it is essential to the health and maintenance of the connective tissues, the heart and blood system, the lymphatic system, the blood itself which are attacked by stress.”
THE ADRENAL GLANDS AND VITAMIN C- ARTHRITIC AND RHEUMATIC DISEASE
The adrenal glands produce cortisol, essential to life and function. “Adrenal gland production is blocked without enough Vitamin C in the system”.
ANTIVIRAL
One of the most consistent clinical effects of high dose vitamin C is its anti viral capabilities shown in the treatment of everything from the “common cold” to a wide array of serious medical conditions which are caused by different viruses. These include mononucleosis, shingles, herpes virus, the common cold, viral pneumonia, influenza and others. Dr. Thomas Levy, MD in his book Vitamin C Infectious Diseases and Toxins-the Ultimate Antidote says, “Vitamin C is undoubtedly the ideal agent for treating virtually any viral infection.”

The book by Dr Klenner documents his case reports of the application of intravenous vitamin C to medical cases no longer seen in medical modern practice such as polio, caused by the polio virus which can cause paralysis as happened to president Franklin D. Roosvelt. This serious disease was greatly feared until the advent of the polio vaccine, one of the greatest historical achievements that medicine had ever seen, changing the lives of millions worldwide. On page 66 of his historical document Dr. Klenner presents a subheading entitled Fourteen Proven Cases of Polio Cured. Granville F. Knight used the Intravenous Vitamin C protocol of Dr Klenner on patients hospitalized with polio and the book states, “were discharged as cured usually in less than a week.” Dr Knight became the President of the price-Pottinger Foundation in Santa Monica, CA. Dr Knight stated, “As I have done for 25 years, I am still using 2,000mg IV at the first sign of a virus infection and repeating it in four to six hours…”
SHINGLES
As described by Dr. Klenner, “In herpes zoster (shingles) 2-3 grams of vitamin C IV was given every 12 hours, this supplemented by fruit juice by mouth every 2 hours.bEight cases were treated in this manner, all adults. Seven experienced cessation of the pain within 2 hours of the first injection and remained so without the use of analgesic medication. Seven of these cases showed dying of the vesicles within 24 hours and were clear of lesions within 72 hours. They received from five to seven injections”
VIRAL ENCEPHALITIS
An extraordinary recovery was documented of a 28 year old woman. The illness started with a head cold, fever, and then progressed to severe headache for 3 days, and a fever that spiked to 106.8 degrees. The patient was stuporous, eyes closed, foaming at the mouth, dehydrated -and developed severe pneumonia. Antibiotics were given without response. Intravenous Vitamin C was administered and the patient’s recovery began. Temporary hearing loss which had occurred was resolved and a chest x- ray showed clearing of the pneumonia 90 days later, and the patient had recovered.
ANTI BACTERIAL
Acute Rheumatic Fever- This is a condition in which is a complication of the common bacterial streptococcus infection. If a simple strep throat is not treated a person may develop a severe cardiac condition called Rheumatic Heart Disease. Kidney failure is another possible complication. These diseases are not seen commonly today because when a patient is given antibiotics to eliminate a strep infection these complications don’t occur.
As published in the respected scientific medical journal Archives of pediatrics April 1955 DR. Klenner treated patients with IV Vitamin C daily and then observed “no cardiac complications.” https://archive.org/details/sim_archives-of-pediatrics_january-december-1955_72_index/page/n3/mode/2up
WHOOPING COUGH- (B Pertussis)
As documented in JAMA -Nov.1950- “ninety children with whooping cough were treated with 500mg Vitamin C IV daily for one week. Children were well in 15 days.” https://www.cabidigitallibrary.org/doi/full/10.5555/19501402692
LEAD POISONING AND VITAMIN C
Dr. Klenner writes, “In the case of lead the Vitamin C seems to combine with the lead…to form an insoluble lead compound which is passed off with the bile in the liver,… Vitamin C Detoxifies lead in the bloodstream.”
ATOPIC DERMATITIS
Dr Klenner writes as published in the scientific journal Annals of Allergy,”…in the treatment of pruritis..secured prompt relief in a high proportion of patients who hasd documented cases like pruritus vulvae, dermatitis, contact dermatitis, pruritus ani ,scabies, poison ivy dermatitis, and urticaria. The lesions began to heal as soon as the itching stopped.” https://typeset.io/journals/annals-of-allergy-48ofez8z/1953

High Dose Vitamin C and Cancer
https://drsobo.com/high-dose-intravenous-vitamin-c-treatment/
The doses Dr Klenner used in this report were not as high as physicians began using as treatment protocols evolved over the years, and the treatment for Holistic Cancer / Oncology as well as for other medical conditions has been described been commonly called High Dose Vitamin C.
A recent study just published from the University of Iowa gives hope and momentum for the greater acceptance of High Dose Vitamin C in cancer care.
