One of the challenges people are experiencing with this coronavirus (COVID-19) is that there is no drug treatment proven to be effective. Conventional medicine offers supportive treatment such as respiratory support.
Now in integrative medicine we use proactive measures. We use treatments like intravenous vitamin C. Patients who use it intravenously can get 100 times the blood level, and it does have a direct antiviral effect.
As a matter of fact, vitamin C used intravenously has been shown to generate more hydrogen peroxide. Sounds strange but your immune system actually produces hydrogen peroxide, your white blood cells, to wipe out pathogens like viruses. So we use high doses of intravenous vitamin C, 20-25 grams 50 grams or more.
So this is very common across America with integrative doctors, so it’s something you should be aware of. It’s an option for people that have infections, whether it be viral infections bacterial infections. Sometimes it can be used by itself. It can be used with other medical treatments but intravenous vitamin C does have an anti viral effect.
The doctors at The Stengler Center for Integrative Medicine have been trained in intravenous vitamin C and use it with our patients during the winter season.
