The Third Face of Vitamin C
Bowel tolerance, the amount of ascorbic acid tolerated orally without producing diarrhea, increases with the toxicity of diseases.

This paper presents a new account of the action of ascorbate in humans: the dynamic flow model. The model is consistent with previous studies and with the known properties of […]
Read More →A unique function for ascorbate
Vitamin C is a reducing substance, an electron donor. When vitamin C donates its two high-energy electrons to scavenge free radicals, much of the resulting dehydroascorbate is rereduced to vitamin […]
Read More →Vitamin C – L-ascorbic acid
Ascorbic acid or vitamin C is an organic compound from the group of unsaturated polyhydric alcohol. Vitamin C is necessary for the functioning of all living organisms. For many animals […]

The amount of oral ascorbic acid that a patient can tolerate without diarrhea, increases somewhat proportionately to the “toxicity” of his disease.
Read More →Vitamin C function in AIDS. Current Opinion
The seriousness of the AIDS epidemic may justify some speculation as to a possible means of therapy. Ascorbate in very large doses is certain to modify the course of the […]
Read More →The Method of Determining Proper Doses of Vitamin C for the Treatment of Disease by Titrating to Bowel Tolerance
My experience (Cathcart 1975, 1976, 1978, 1979) in utilizing vitamin C in large doses has extended over a nine-year period and has involved over 9,000 patients. Much of the original […]
Read More →Vitamin C in the treatment of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS)
My previous experience with the utilization of ascorbic acid in the treatment of viral diseases led me to hypothesize that ascorbate would be of value in the treatment of AIDS […]
Read More →The vitamin C treatment of allergy and the normally unprimed state of antibodies
I previously described that bowel tolerance (the amount that almost causes diarrhea) to oral ascorbic acid, increases in a person somewhat proportionally to the “toxicity” of his disease. Ascorbic acid […]
Read More →Vitamin C, titrating to bowel tolerance, anascorbemia, and acute induced scurvy
A method of utilizing vitamin C in amounts just short of the doses which produce diarrhea is described (TITRATING TO BOWEL TOLERANCE). The amount of oral ascorbic acid tolerated by […]
