Sepsis effectively treated with Vitamin C Injections
Channel: VHFILM
Date: 06/03/2014

Highlights:
- discovered that a single bolus of vitamin C injected early at the time of induction of sepsis, prevents capillary plugging. He has also found that a delayed bolus injection of vitamin C can  reverse plugging by restoring blood flow in previously plugged capillaries
- found that early as well as delayed injections of vitamin C improves chance of survival significantly
- the beneficial effect of a single bolus injection of vitamin C is long lasting and prevents capillary plugging for up to 24  hours post-injection
- Previous studies have shown that it can be injected intravenously into patients with no side effects
