Linda’s comment: AMEN to this statement “any physician, or panel of hospital-based physicians, claiming that Vitmin C is experimental, unapproved, and/or posing unwarranted risks to the health of a patient, is truly only demonstrating a complete and TOTAL ignorance or denial of scientific literature… Now I ask you, who might these nay-sayers be?? IMHO, brainwashed allopathic docs who don’t have a clue about the statements they make about Vitamin C and its benefits!! Vitamin C IV’s have saved my life more times than I can count over the last 30 years….I have taken VitC IV’s in dosing as high as 100,000 thousands mgs….I take the BioEnerg-yC 20,000 mgs daily orally… I gave my daughter 2000 mg THREE times daily when she began her monthly periods….NO PMS from her….LOL She was also an athlete and was NEVER sick all through high school…BTW, the doctors which give me my Vitamin C IV’s are MD’s and DO’s, who have obtained their MD(h) license. I say to those nay-sayers, prove to me it doesn’t work and prove to me it is dangerous.
When the companies ran trials on the value of VitC and came up with it didn’t do what they say it does, I ask, what mgs did you use…..GET THIS…500 mg…OMG, let me look at their foreheads, does it have STUPID stamped on it??? My 16 pound dog, get 4000mg in her gallon water pail…she is never sick either and over 10 yrs old….I give her Omega also….I also use my alternative modality machines….she loves them….we got rid of a worm/parasite infection she picked up at puppy park with my PhotonGenie machine….She also jumped off the bed, hurt her back and I used the Genie on her and increased her VitC…
If I hear one more time that VitC will give you kidney stones I will pick up a rock and hit the person that makes such a stupid statement….It isn’t VitC that causes kidney stone…DUH Enough of my rant enjoy the following article…
Excerpt:
A Personal Viewpoint by Thomas E. Levy, M.D., J.D.
(OMNS November 11, 2010) As a patient, you have the right to any therapy that is not prohibitively expensive, established to be effective, and not prohibitively toxic.
Any physician, or panel of hospital-based physicians, claiming that vitamin C is experimental, unapproved, and/or posing unwarranted risks to the health of the patient, is really only demonstrating a complete and total ignorance or denial of the scientific literature. A serious question as to what the real motivations might be in the withholding of such a therapy then arises.
A doctor has the right to refuse to see you or treat you. A doctor does not have the right to deny you any therapy that is inexpensive and known to be effective and nontoxic; if there is toxicity involved, the patient can discharge his responsibility for such toxicity with proper informed consent. A doctor does not have the right to deny you consultation with another doctor that may have conflicting medical points of view.
Just as ignorance of the law is no sound defense to legal charges brought against you, ignorance of medical fact is ultimately no sound defense for a doctor withholding valid treatment, especially when that information can be easily accessed
While a hospital may or may not have a legal right to dictate to its physicians what they may or may not do, the patient and the family of the patient have the legal right to sue that hospital for any negative outcome that is perceived to directly result from such interference in patient care.
