  <p><span style='font-family:Arial'>ASCORBIC ACID (VITAMIN C) AS A
  CHEMOTHERAPEUTIC AGENT<o:p></o:p></span></p>
  <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>William J. McCormick,
  M.D.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
  <p><i><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>(&quot;Chemotherapeutic&quot;
  in this article does not refer to treating cancer, but rather to vitamin C's
  effectiveness against bacterial and viral infections, and as an antitoxic
  agent.)<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
  <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Until recently ascorbic
  acid has been used primarily and solely for its vitamin action as an
  antiscorbutic agent. In such use the daily requirement of the infant and
  young child has been placed at 25 to 50 mg. and that of the adult at 75 to
  150 mg. The vitamin C properties, Which are mainly prophylactic, are related
  primarily to its role in maintaining stability and tensile strength of
  connective tissues generally, including the subcutaneous tissues, the
  musculature of the vascular and alimentary systems, and the osseous tissues.
  This property favors the healing of Wounds, the prevention of hemorrhage and
  rupture of connective tissues, and the building of a protective barrier
  against infectious invasion. Vitamin C is also known to play an essential part
  in the oxidation-reduction system of tissue respiration and to contribute to
  the development of antibodies and the neutralization of toxins in the
  building of natural immunity to infectious diseases.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
  <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Aside from these vitamin
  properties there is a very potent therapeutic action of ascorbic acid when
  given in massive repeated doses, 500 to 1,000 mg., q.q.h., (every four hours)
  preferably intravenously or intramuscularly. When thus administered the
  effect in acute infectious processes is favorably comparable to that of the
  sulfonamide or the mycelial antibiotics, but with the great advantage of
  freedom from toxic or allergic reactions. The advantage of parenteral
  (injected) administration is obvious when one considers that vitamin, being
  water-soluble and having no kidney threshold, is eliminated by this route
  almost as rapidly as absorbed from the alimentary system. By intensive
  parenteral therapy the blood level can be maintained at a much higher degree
  of saturation with resultant increase in antitoxic action.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
  <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>The writer (1) has
  previously reported spectacular results by this method in the treatment of
  tuberculosis, scarlet fever, pelvic infection, septicemia, etc. Concurrently,
  by this same method, Klenner (2) has reported dramatic results in the
  treatment of virus diseases, including poliomyelitis, encephalitis, measles,
  herpes zoster, virus pneumonia, etc. This chemotherapeutic effect of ascorbic
  acid results from its chemical action as a reducing or oxidizing agent. In
  fact, the decolorization of the test reagent, dichlorphenol-indophenol, is
  dependent upon this property. By this means the viral or bacterial toxins are
  rapidly neutralized and the febrile process, with its high metabolic rate, is
  abated, usually within a few hours of the beginning of treatment. Complete
  recovery occurs usually in a matter of days. By this method the writer has
  been able to reduce marked leukocytosis in purulent infections to normal
  within two or three days. Likewise, Klenner (3) reports the reduction of
  pleocytosis of spinal fluid in poliomyelitis to normal within 48 hours, under
  intensive ascorbic-acid therapy. This reduction of leukocyte content of blood
  and spinal fluid is the best evidence of therapeutic efficacy. Such effects
  have never been obtained by the use of sulfonamides or mycelial antibiotics.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
  <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>A point to be noted in
  this intensive method of therapy is that the urinary elimination of ascorbic
  acid, being necessarily heavy, is likely to cause confusion in case of
  urinary tests for sugar, since ascorbic acid is an even more potent reducer
  of Fehling’s or Benedict’s solution. Thus a positive test under these
  conditions does not necessarily indicate sugar. This fact in itself is
  further evidence of the efficacy of ascorbic acid as an oxidation-reduction
  agent.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
  <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Not only endogenous, but
  exogenous toxins are neutralized by this chemotherapeutic action of ascorbic
  acid. By this means Klenner has effected rapid recovery from rattlesnake bite
  in dogs, and the author has obtained rapid recovery in a case of scorpion
  sting by a single intravenous injection of 1,000 mg. Likewise, ascorbic acid
  has been effectively employed in the treatment of lead poisoning (4) in
  painters, and in suppressing toxic reactions in sulfonamide (5), hormone,
  salicylate and arsenical therapy (6).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
  <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Once the acute febrile or
  toxic stage of an infectious disease is brought under control by massive
  ascorbic-acid administration, a relatively small maintenance dose of the
  vitamin will be adequate in most cases to prevent relapses, just as in fire
  protection small chemical extinguishers may be adequate to prevent fires in
  their incipiency, whereas when large fires have developed water from large
  high-pressure fire hose becomes necessary.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
  <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>In determining the
  anti-infectious protective dosage of vitamin C there is another factor which
  is not generally considered. When the vitamin is employed to neutralize
  toxins of endogenous or exogenous origin, the action is reciprocal in that
  the vitamin is also neutralized proportionately, leaving less available for
  physiological needs. To illustrate the writer has determined by laboratory
  and clinical tests that the smoking of one cigarette neutralizes in the body
  approximately 25 mg. of ascorbic acid, or the amount in one medium-sized
  orange. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
  <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>It will thus be seen how
  difficult it is to meet the bodily requirement of the pack-a-day smoker for
  even the protective level of vitamin C from dietary sources. It is thus
  obvious that the steady smoker, who is usually short on his dietary intake as
  well, requires much heavier therapeutic dosage of this vitamin than the
  non-smoker. This may explain why, according to Mayo-Clinic reports, the
  incidence of post-operative pneumonia is four times greater in habitual
  smokers than in non-smokers. To prevent post-operative pneumonia, Slotkin and
  Fletcher (7) have instituted the use of large doses of vitamin C both pre-
  and postoperatively, with 100 per cent success. Prior to this innovation,
  their post-operative pneumonia mortality rate was 20 per cent. Pediatric
  surgeons might do well to follow this example. Klenner (3) reports that
  pneumonia never develops as a complication in measles when intensive vitamin
  C therapy is employed early in the disease.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
  <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>During the past century
  there has been a steady decline in the incidence and mortality of most all infectious
  diseases. Epidemiologists generally (8, 9, 10) admit that the control
  measures employed &quot;are not adequate in themselves to explain the
  recorded decline.&quot; &quot;While the control measures which have been
  applied have probably accentuated the decline in young adult life... it seems
  reasonable to attribute the general decline to other factors more general in
  character and of which but little is really known.&quot;<o:p></o:p></span></p>
  <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>From increasing evidence
  of the antitoxic and anti-infectious action of vitamin C, and from personal
  clinical experience in the prophylactic and therapeutic application of this
  vitamin, the author is firmly convinced that the major factor in bringing
  about this gradually changing picture in infectious-disease incidence has
  been the steady and phenomenal increase in the consumption of vitamin-C-rich
  fruits, notably citrus fruits and tomatoes, during the period in question.
  This hypothesis would not only account for the gradual decline in incidence,
  but would also explain the shift in age incidence of tuberculosis,
  diphtheria, poliomyelitis, etc., from the younger to the older age brackets,
  due to the fact that in the nursery the full benefit of this nutritional
  reform is obtained; whereas, during childhood and early youth perverse
  dietary habits are gradually acquired through lack of parental guidance and
  inadequacy of public-health education. The increased use of candy, carbonated
  beverages, tea, coffee, tobacco and alcohol tends gradually to displace the
  more wholesome nutritional habits of early childhood, and malnutrition with
  increased susceptibility to disease is the price we pay for this diversion.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
  <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>In conclusion it may be
  of interest to note that centuries ago observing physicians detected the
  predisposing influence of scurvy on the incidence of infectious diseases. In
  1689, Richard Morton, one of the earliest writers on tuberculosis (then known
  as phthisis), states in his famous <i>Phthisiologia</i> that &quot;scurvy is
  wont to occasion a consumption of the lungs.&quot; Likewise, Boerhaave, a
  Dutch physician of international repute in the early 18th century, held to
  the view that &quot;gangrenous gingivitis,&quot; then frequently concurrent
  with diphtheria, was evidence of a scorbutic background.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
  <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>SUMMARY<o:p></o:p></span></p>
  <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Clinical and laboratory
  evidence is cited in support of the author’s advocacy of intensive vitamin C
  administration as a chemotherapeutic agent in infectious diseases.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
  <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>The efficacy of this
  therapy is dependent upon the potent oxidation-reduction action of ascorbic
  acid and the use of massive doses with complete freedom from toxic or
