Vitamin C – treatment of viral diseases
Viral infections, such as influenza, HIV, hepatitis, herpes zoster, etc., lead to reactive oxygen compounds that are burdensome to the patient and are often overlooked in hospitals. These reactive oxygen compounds not only weaken the immune system but also increase the risk of getting infected with other diseases. Elevated levels of reactive oxygen compounds in the liver are often a sign of chronic viral diseases. Intravenous treatment with high-dose Vitamin C is a key therapeutic building block in the fight against chronic viral infections.
At the Alternative Cancer Treatment Centre in Kehl, Dr. Hartung usually administers the following Vitamin C infusions.
| Cancer illnesses: | 3-15 g of Vitamin C, intravenous e.g., once to thrice per week |
| Rheumatic diseases | 5-10 g of Vitamin C, intravenous e.g., twice per week |
| HIV AIDS: | 5 g Vitamin C, intravenous, twice per month |
| Herpes infections: | 5-10 g daily in the acute stage |
Vitamin- C treatments should be done only by medial doctors with experience in this treatment.
The vitamin-c doses must be adjusted individually to the general health condition of the patient and his disease.
