Doctor Wonders Why Vitamin C Whooping Cough Solutions are Ignored
A doctor whom I greatly admire, Dr. Suzanne Humphreys, MD. is sounding some alarms regarding whooping cough treatment. She is now a homeopath and holistic health counselor and in the wake of a rash of whooping cough incidents, she raised the question: why is nobody talking about vitamin C whooping cough solutions?
Vitamin C for Whooping Cough Treatment (Pertussis)
Dr. Humphries covers a history of vitamin C used to rapidly heal whooping cough, a history that was not uncommon before the rash of antibiotics and vaccines popped in.
Even low-dose vitamin C shortened the duration and intensity of pertussis in all the examples Dr. Humphries cited, as well as with her own cases of administering vitamin C for whooping cough treatment.
Mainstream medicine prefers to use antibiotics, however, which can destroy the probiotic intestinal bacteria needed for digestion and immunity. The destruction of this intestinal flora can result in obesity, mental illness, and diabetes.
Antibiotics used for whooping cough can lead to Clostridium difficile infection, which produces inflammatory colitis-type symptoms. In severe cases, fecal transplants are used as a solution for those suffering from C. Diff. Colitis.
Pharmaceutical antibiotics have generally done wonders – but we should try to avoid using them where possible in order to not further fuel the crisis of antibiotic resistance.
Despite all the attempts to deny its efficacy by mainstream allopathic medicine, high-dose vitamin C has been shown to work wonders for pertussis.
If the bowel tolerance is too limiting, IV (intravenous) mega-dose C is also a solution.
Vitamin C Shows Potential in Reducing Whooping Cough Severity
A study by M. J. Ormerod and Byron M. Unkauf from the University of Manitoba also suggests that ascorbic acid (vitamin C) may offer a promising new approach to treating whooping cough.
Here are the key findings:
- Ascorbic Acid’s Efficacy: The study found that ascorbic acid can significantly shorten the period of paroxysms (severe coughing fits) from weeks to just days.
- Dosage: The dosages used in the study were empirical, with larger doses administered early in the disease showing the most promise.
- Safety: The risk of overdosage appears to be minimal, as any excess vitamin C is excreted by the kidneys.
- Conclusion: Ascorbic acid, especially when administered in larger doses early on, has shown potential in reducing the severity and duration of whooping cough symptoms.
Together, the improvements seen by Dr. Humphreys as well as the research conducted by Ormerod and Unkauf bring light to the potential benefits of vitamin C in treating whooping cough. Their findings suggest that ascorbic acid can play a pivotal role in reducing the severity and duration of the disease, offering hope for a more effective treatment method.
As always – as with all medical treatments, further studies and clinical trials will be essential to validate these findings and determine the best practices for vitamin C administration in whooping cough cases.
Grab some liposomal encapsulated vitamin C called Lypo-Spheric C. Or you could try making your own liposomal C at home.
While only approximately 15-16% of oral vitamin C is absorbed, intravenous C is out of the reach for average Americans. Lyposomal C (tradename Lypospheric C), a nano form of oral C and lipid encapsulated, can bypass the digestive system and go directly into the cells. It is reportedly as much as 5 times as effective as intravenous C. It can be purchased, or made at home.
Why parents aren't taught to give their children Vit. C every day (I found the one with bioflavanoids and rosehips work better for myself)..along with a few other supplements, is the problem of low immunity to begin with. Being asthmatic, and susceptible to respiratory all my life, I finally learned this. I would say very few get enough in food everyday and it's too bad to see something easily avoidable be so prevalent. They don't need vaccines, they need vitamins!..in my opinion.
I’m convinced most Westerners are at near-scurvy levels with their Vitamin C intakes. The ‘RDA’ is only enough to prevent scurvy, not provide optimal results. Linus Pauling who won two Nobel Prizes before the AMA tried to have him in jail as a crank, recommended 10 grams of C a day to get us in line with what other animals produced in their own tissues. Humans are odd in that we can’t manufacture our own Vitamin C, and it’s been only recently that we started eating totally ‘manufactured’ foods, transported at great distances rather than locally grown and eating with the seasons. You can buy sodium ascorbate powder cheaply and add it to water (tastes like lemonade), sweeten with stevia if needed. Don’t add it to milk products, it will curdle.
