  friends, who are Catholic missionary sisters, asked me if vitamin C
  supplementation would help the people they work with in the South American
  rainforests.<span>&nbsp; </span>Since I think supplemental
  C is valuable for all humans, I said “yes.” They took it from
  there, and for several years now have been giving multi-thousand-milligram doses
  of ascorbic acid powder to the natives daily. <strong>The result is that miscarriage and infant mortality rates have
  plummeted.</strong> (To save naysayers some time, you may complain about me directly

<p class="MsoNormal"><em><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: Arial">&quot;I've read on your other pregnancy
  page (</span></em><em><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial"><a href="../../pregnancy_lactation.html">http://www.doctoryourself.com/pregnancy_lactation.html</a></span></em><em><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family:
  Arial">) that Dr. Frederick R. Klenner gave pregnant women 3,000 mg of
  vitamin C in first trimester. I have taken 6,000 to 12,000 mg of vitamin C
  (as ascorbic acid) for 6 days during weeks 4 and 5, and am concerned about
  birth defects. Some women-websites talk about vitamin C being used as an <span class="SpellE">abortifacient</span>. Any input would be greatly appreciated as
  I am concerned of the health of my embryo/fetus.&quot; </span></em><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: Arial">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: Arial">
<o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: Arial">It is
  simply incredible what people have been told about vitamins, isn't it?
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: Arial">
<o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: Arial">One area
  of theoretical concern might over acidity. Vitamin C is most frequently
  supplemented as ascorbic acid. Ascorbic acid is a weak acid, having about the
  same pH as an orange. Ascorbic acid is weaker than vinegar or even “Coca-Cola.”
  I do not see any great amount of published panic over ladies that consume
  these items. Lemons are more acidic than ascorbic acid. Some commercial
  lemons are properly known to science as <em>Citrus<span class="SpellE">medica</span></em>. Since medieval times, &quot;<span class="SpellE">lymons</span>&quot; have been known and prized for their ability
  to ensure healthy pregnancies and easier deliveries.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: Arial">This
  brings us to the second <span class="GramE">consideration, that</span> of
  ascorbic acid's biological effects on the developing baby. Far from being an <span class="SpellE">abortifacient</span>, vitamin C in fact helps hold a healthy
  pregnancy right from the start. From the passage the<span>&nbsp; </span>reader referred to:

<p class="MsoNormal"><em><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: Arial">F. R. Klenner, M.D. gave large
  doses to over 300 pregnant women and reported virtually no complications in
  any of the pregnancies or deliveries (Irwin Stone, The Healing Factor, <span class="GramE">Chapter</span> 28). Indeed, the hospital nurses around

  woman is a start. The baby should get 100 mg per day per month of age. (The

  alpha tocopherol from wheat germ oil and vitamin E was beginning to be widely
  appreciated, and the consequences of deficiency better known. Health Culture
  Magazine for January, 1936 said, &quot;The fertility food factor (is) now
  called vitamin E. Excepting for the abundance of that vitamin in whole
  grains, there could not have been any perpetuation of the human race. Its
  absence from the diet makes for irreparable sterility occasioned by a
  complete degeneration of the germinal cells of the male generative glands. (T<span class="GramE">)he</span> expectant mother requires vitamin E to insure the
  carriage of her charge to a complete and natural term. If her diet is
  deficient in vitamin E . . . the woman is very apt to abort. . . It is more
  difficult to insure a liberal vitamin E supply in the daily average diet than
  to insure an adequate supply of any other known vitamin.&quot; (9)

  &quot;tocopherol&quot; is taken from the Greek words for &quot;to carry
  offspring&quot; or &quot;to bring forth childbirth,&quot; it is easy enough
  to see how Evan Shute and other obstetricians were drawn into the work. As
  early as 1931, Vogt-<span class="SpellE">Moller</span> of
<st1:country-region w:st="on">
<st1:place w:st="on">Denmark</st1:place></st1:country-region>
  successfully treated habitual abortion in human females with wheat germ oil
  vitamin E. By 1939 he had treated several hundred women with a success rate
  of about 80%. In 1937, both Young in

  recurrent abortions.&quot;
