  Disease is often the aggravated result of vitamin deficiency.&nbsp;If this
  seems to be too much emphasis on nutrition and not enough on microbes, we
  must remember that we live with viruses and bacteria all about us, all the
  time.&nbsp;Yet everyone is not sick all of the time.&nbsp;Differing
  nutritional status is at least as important a consideration as any
  other.&nbsp;A deficiency of any one vitamin can eventually cause

  A-bomb.&nbsp;Vitamin C stops bacteria in a different way: it works through
  the body's immune system, like the French Resistance.&nbsp;You can probably

  <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Here is a second
  opinion.&nbsp;Dr. Cathcart advocates treating pneumonia with up to 200,000
  milligrams of vitamin C daily, often intravenously.&nbsp;You and I can
  simulate a 24 hour IV of Vitamin C by taking it by mouth very, very
  often.&nbsp;When I had pneumonia, it took 2,000 mg of vitamin C every six
  minutes to get me to saturation.&nbsp;My oral daily dose was over 100,000
  mg.&nbsp;Fever, cough and other symptoms were reduced in hours; complete recovery
  took just a few days. Bronchitis clears up even faster.&nbsp;That is
  performance at least as good as any antibiotic will give, and the vitamin is
  both safer and cheaper.&nbsp;</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>

  want to consult their works, listed in the Bibliography under &quot;Vitamin
  C,&quot; or do a <a href="http://www.doctoryourself.com/">website search</a>

  that massive doses are ineffective or somehow harmful will do well to read
  the original papers for themselves. Clinical evidence confirms the powerful

  <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Speaking as a parent, I

  Not a one. They don't even have heated socks. How on earth do they do it?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

  study appearing in the Sept. 22 online issue of The Lancet, vaccines against
  influenza are only &quot;modestly effective&quot; in people in long-term care
  facilities and even less effective for elderly people still living in the
  community. . . &quot;The vaccine doesn't work very well at all,&quot; said
  study author Dr. Tom Jefferson, an epidemiologist with the Cochrane Vaccines
  Field in <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Rome</st1:place></st1:City>.
  &quot;Vaccines are being used as an ideological weapon. What you see every
  year as the flu is caused by 200 or 300 different agents with a vaccine
  against two of them. That is simply nonsense.&quot; Dr. Marc Siegel, author
  of &quot;False Alarm: The Truth About the Epidemic of Fear,&quot; agreed.
  &quot;We have set up a situation where a fear is created, and then we try to
  create the treatment for this fear. The public gets the idea that the flu is
  going to kill them and the vaccine will save them. Neither is true,&quot; he
  said.&quot; <o:p></o:p></span></p>

  stress,<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'>  </span>and especially war-induced
  malnutrition, that set the stage in 1918? And now, once again, we have an

  second: relax! De-stress your life, take it easy, and cheer up. It has been
  very well said that you are of much more value than any number of birds. You
  are factory-equipped with a kick-ass mammalian immune system that is a true
