Dogmatic medical attitude continues to cost lives

Dogmatic medical attitude continues to cost lives

Following last nights 60 minutes’ hard hitting documentary on the continuing medical dogma of refusing to even acknowledge the possibility of benefits to patients from the use of high-dose vitamin C, visiting vitamin C expert Dr Thomas Levy said “that such opposition is without any credible scientific basis and it makes one wonder whether the opponents of Vitamin C therapy really have quality patient care as their priority”.

The biggest question that needs answering is not whether vitamin C is effective, it is how can doctors and Health Boards ethically and legally continue to refuse to administer a MedSafe sanctioned, registered medicine to those that need it or are asking for it?

DHB advisor David Gallaher stated that the doctors and DHBs are in the business of being real and honest, yet they refuse to acknowledge the wealth of information, expert opinion and decades of safe and successful clinical use of high-dose vitamin C. They instead choose to hold fast to ego, arrogance and erroneous assumptions that vitamin C may be harmful.

Medical doctors Professor Ian Brighthope and Professor Anvi Sali and others around the globe confess to have been quietly, yet very successfully, administering high-dose vitamin C therapy for in excess of 30 years. Quietly, not because of the potential risk their treatments pose to patients, but because of the ridicule and risk of investigation by the health authorities generated by any public or media awareness of their safe and effective treatments.

There are many with educated and qualified options around the world joining the voices of concerned New Zealand citizens, those that have survived their illness thanks to vitamin C, and those that have lost loved ones that were refused such a simple, safe and potentially life-saving treatment as vitamin C in saying that this situation is an outrage and nothing short of professional arrogance and neglect.

Dr Levy, cardiologist, associate professor, lawyer and author, will be speaking about Vitamin C, use, myths, safety and efficacy on Friday 17th September, 7.30pm at Auckland Girls Grammar, Howie St, Ponsonby.
