In memory of Frederick R. Klenner, M.D.,

a man of great vision and the truest of medical pioneers

Acknowledgements

Frederick R. Klenner, M.D., to whom this book is dedicated, deserves the greatest credit for its writing. Without his keen insights and willingness to look beyond the limits of traditional medical teachings, the ability of vitamin C to cure some incurable infections and poisonings would remain completely unknown today. The primary purpose of this book is to clearly lay out the large body of scientific documentation showing that Dr. Klenners principles of vitamin C therapy were completely right and need to be properly applied across the world.

Linus Pauling, Ph.D. also deserves an enormous amount of credit for helping to educate the world on the many benefits of vitamin C. Dr. Pauling won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1954 and the Nobel Peace Prize in 1962. Although his place in history was already assured, Dr. Pauling did not hesitate to put his credibility on the line in promoting vitamin C to the world and to a medical profession that did not want to be advised by a non-physician. Maintaining complete personal and scientific integrity was of paramount importance to Dr. Pauling. Even though vitamin C is still greatly underutilized today, Dr. Pauling managed to get more people to take a good daily dose of vitamin C than any other individual in history. Although he was not a medical doctor, Dr. Pauling probably had a far greater positive effect on world health than he did in his chosen field of chemistry.

Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, M.D., Ph.D. won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1937 for the discovery of vitamin C. His work in defining the chemical structure of vitamin C, along with isolating and purifying it, allowed many subsequent researchers to study the continuing and expanding role of vitamin C in medicine and science.

Hal A. Huggins, D.D.S., M.S., a good friend, colleague, and co-author of my first book, Uninformed Consent, first introduced me to the amazing abilities of vitamin C in treating infections and neutralizing toxins in 1993. My life and my medical perspectives have never been the same.

Robert Kulacz, D.D.S., a good friend, excellent researcher, and co-author of my third book, The Roots of Disease, has contributed as much insight to me in medical matters as any of my medical colleagues. He has been invaluable to me as a sounding board for my many theories, thoughts, questions, and ideas.

My brother, John, read and thoroughly edited this book for me. Although he does not have a formal medical background, I adopted many of the insightful suggestions he made in order to better deliver the messages of this book.

My beautiful mother, Catherine, remains one of the greatest positive forces in my career. Her love and support have continued to motivate me throughout my entire life. My sister, Cathy, has always been supportive as well.

Many thanks to Char Longwell, Chris Prudhomme, and Bob Culp at the Memorial Health System Medical Library in Colorado Springs, CO. Their help to me in completing the necessary research for this book has been absolutely invaluable.

Foreword

By Dr. Garry Gordon

For years I have highly prized Dr. Tom Levys significant scientific contributions regarding the miraculous healing powers of Vitamin C. I have heavily relied upon and referenced his book Curing the Incurable: Vitamin C, Infectious Diseases and Toxins in treating patients and teaching practitioners all over the world, and I am incredibly pleased to be asked to contribute to this 4th Edition release.

Through the extensive published literature compiled by Dr. Levy (with over 1,200 scientific references), many now know which forms and in what dosages vitamin C is the most beneficial proving that the accepted daily requirements of vitamin C are far too low for maintaining healthy cellular function and fighting off infections. Vitamin C in what appears to be megadoses of 5,000 to 20,000 milligrams or more orally and 20 to 200 grams intravenously can and has saved lives even after all else has failed.

As a young practicing physician, I did not learn the lifesaving potential of Vitamin C until I became involved in orthomolecular medicine for personal reasons. I was born with many difficult health problems, not the least of which was a stomach that was entirely intolerant to any more than one thousand milligrams of vitamin C of the formulas available at that time. That was the beginning of an amazing journey embarked upon over 40 years ago. Since then I have had the distinct privilege of working with giants like Dr. Linus Pauling (who originally coined the term orthomolecular), and other esteemed mentors in this exciting field such as Dr. Abraham Hoffer, Dr. Robert Cathcart and Dr. Harold Foster. These men have seen the power of aggressive nutritional supplementation in treating, and even reversing, chronic and acute illnesses including heart disease and cancer. Those of us who have championed the cause of vitamin C, and other nutrients given in megadose quantities, have endured the scorn and even the wrath of our colleagues and peers a paradigm that is swiftly and justly changing.

Currently we spend more on healthcare in this country than any other in the world, yet we are getting fatter and sicker while taking more and more pharmaceutical drugs. Deadly drugs are devised, mass marketed and sold by corporations making trillions of dollars off sickness and suffering. Unfortunately, the focus of mainstream medicine and the pharmaceutical industry is not about finding effective treatments its all about money. Most drugs only mask symptoms, ignoring the real underlying causes of disease, all the while generating new illnesses and conditions for which you will need another drug. The Wall Street Journal now reports that more than a quarter of U.S. kids and teens today are taking a prescription medication on a chronic basis, with nearly 7% of those on two or more drugs. Flu vaccines and anti-depressants are prescribed to pregnant women, with known adverse effects upon the fetus, resulting in long-term chronic conditions for the child later in life. And according to the CDC, half of all Americans take pre scription drugs on a consistent basis; with approximately one-third using two or more pharmaceutical drugs daily, and more than ten percent of all Americans are frequently on five or more drugs at a time. In light of those statistics it should come as no surprise that The Journal of The American Medical Association (JAMA) has reported that fatal adverse drug reactions (FADRs) are now the leading cause of death in the U. S.

In Curing The Incurable, Dr. Tom Levy provides an extensive collection of scientific studies showing unequivocally that vitamin C, both oral and intravenously administered in high doses, (taken orally in daily dosages of 4 to 20 or more grams a day and when needed, intravenously in doses of 30 to 200 or more grams a day) help mankind deal with many of our most challenging chronic and acute health problems.
