MEDICAL EVIDENCE OF VITAMIN EFFECTIVENESS

“SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 17 -- Infections and abdominal wall complications were markedly reduced in trauma patients treated with high doses of vitamins C, E, and selenium, researchers said here.”

Action Points
§ Explain to interested patients that the study found that high doses of antioxidants were associated with reduced pulmonary and infectious complications in trauma patients.
§ Explain that the study was a retrospective review of patient records and hence more prone to confounding than a randomized, placebo-controlled trial and cannot prove causality.
§ Note that this study was published as an abstract and presented orally at a conference. These data and conclusions should be considered to be preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.

It is not news to us. But, now it is a sanctioned study by doctors, other people will begin to listen.

This is just a beginning and the tip of the iceberg; but it is significant due to the fact that it is a real clinical study by real M.D.s. This makes it appear more important to people. But, the point is this;

It is verification of what alternative medicine has been saying all these years. Take your vitamins and supplements. Going against the brain washing of most physician training, that is “taking supplements is just having expensive urine,” takes bravery and thinking outside the box of conventional, big pharma sponsored ignorance.

“The antioxidant regimen consisted of 1,000 mg of vitamin C and 1,000 IU of alpha-tocopherol three times a day and 200 mcg/day of intravenous selenium.”

We know that even larger doses of vitamin C can be extremely effective. There are hundreds of studies that prove this. If you want to learn more and how to prevent as well as treat many conditions with vitamin C for example see;
