I work with my hands. I sweat each and every day, I often do hard physical work and have done so for over 40 years. This is an indisputable fact. I do work for my age that pretty much belongs to the 20-40 year old workers. I do not, have not, nor (most likely) will I ever sell anything, anywhere, period. Those convinced otherwise are severely mistaken.
I posted something that on the surface appears to be some sort of sales gimmick, it was not. When my dad took ill a long time ago, a victim of pesticides (DDT/Monsanto) and Philip Morris, he was simply chemoed and radiated until the end. In those days, little was known about strengthening the immune system, antioxidant protection, etc. Dad died a horrible death, literally suffocating to death. Then it rings in your head, if I knew then what I know now, and damn it why didn't I.
Now, with another family member critically ill with fungal meningitis, see the great meningitis outbreak of 2012 for information on the tainted steroids that were distributed and used on thousands of people across several states. http://www.cdc.gov/hai/outbreaks/meningitis.html
I do not know if our family member received one of these shots or not but at this point it doesn't matter. I was, out of frustration, trying to put out there examples of people who through unorthodox means, means that most hospitals and physicians would laugh at or say :that is voo doo medicine etc." I am hoping that by giving these examples of what some would refer to as miracles that others will take note and give it a try, it is in their own literature as exampled by the site that explains the New Zealander who made it through the viral pneumonia and the hairy cell leukemia.
Here is the gold standard of proof.

>>Three Randomized Placebo Controlled Studies
Apparently Dr Galler is unaware of three double blind placebo controlled studies of IV Vitamin C in critically ill patients in the ICU. These studies were published in Dr. Gallers own peer-reviewed specialty medical literature. (1-5)
These three studies showed reduced mortality and reduced time on ventilators for septic and critically ill patients in the ICU setting. In addition, numerous other studies have measured blood vitamin C levels in critically ill patients in the hospital showing vitamin C is typically depleted with levels below 25 % of healthy individuals.(6-11) As Dr Levy points out in Part Four of the Series (see below), there are thousands of studies over 70 years in the medical literature showing effectiveness, and safety of vitamin C for viral illness. Dr Levys cites 1200 such articles supporting the use of Vitamin C.
The chart below is from Nathens et al , showing serum vitamin C levels in critically ill surgical patients. The red line shows subnormal blood vitamin C values in untreated patients. The green line shows high normal blood vitamin C values in patients treated with IV vitamin C. The normal range is 0.5 to 2.0 ng/dl. Vitamin C treated patients (green line) had less pulmonary morbidity, less multi-organ failure and less ventilator dependency when compared to untreated patients (red line).<<
I have a family member who may die or become severely disabled by the illness he is facing. He has been in the ICU, he is not doing well. What I hope in some sort of bizarro way is that exposure of the Alan Smith story will somehow prod some doctor somewhere to do what goes against his instincts, and hopefully one of those doctors will be involved with my family members case. I know this is a huge exercise in futility however there is nothing more I can do to intervene. Apologies to those who were offended by the post, apologies to the mods, jurors and executioners who may have had to wring their hands trying to decipher my motives. I shall not do it again, I appreciate their allowing me to say what I had to say in a feeble effort to affect a loved ones chances for survival. Thank you all, I will not do it again.

You would probably do best to post these kinds of posts in the health forum where there are like minded souls.
I'm sorry for the pain you are suffering trying to get someone help in ways they don't know exist. All you can do is inform yourself and live the best you can to increase your own health...living by example so to speak.

(162 posts)know when to say when so I will just remain silent. Besides that, people who haven't studied the material to the degree that they need to may do themselves harm. Best to say nothing and just let the pieces fall where they will.
