(OMNS Mar 3, 2020) The
government of Shanghai, China has announced its official recommendation
that COVID-19 should be treated with high amounts of intravenous vitamin
C. (1) Dosage recommendations vary with severity of illness, from 50
to 200 milligrams per kilogram body weight per day to as much as 200
mg/kg/day.
These dosages are approximately 4,000 to
16,000 mg for an adult, administered by IV. This specific method of
administration is important, says intravenous therapy expert Atsuo
Yanagisawa, MD, PhD, because vitamin C's effect is at least ten times
more powerful by IV than if taken orally. Dr. Yanagisawa is president of
the Tokyo-based Japanese College of Intravenous Therapy. He says,
"Intravenous vitamin C is a safe, effective, and broad-spectrum
antiviral."
Richard Z. Cheng, MD, PhD, a
Chinese-American specialist physician, has been working closely with
medical and governmental authorities throughout China. He has been
instrumental in facilitating at least three Chinese clinical IV vitamin C
studies now underway. Dr. Cheng is presently in Shanghai continuing his
efforts to encourage still more Chinese hospitals to implement vitamin C
therapy incorporating high oral doses as well as C by IV.
Dr. Cheng and Dr. Yanagisawa both recommend oral vitamin C for prevention of COVID-19 infection.
