Observations On the Dose and Administration of Ascorbic Acid
When Employed Beyond the Range Of A Vitamin In Human
Pathology
Frederick R. Klenner, M.D., F.C.C.P.Comment by Robert F. Cathcart, M.D.: This paper repeatedly refers to
intravenous ascorbic acid. My personal experience, my talking with
Klenner, and with his wife, Annie Klenner, who served as his nurse, would
indicate that he means sodium ascorbate. See my article on how to make
intravenous C solutions. I am especially indebted to Annie Klenner for her
descriptions of how Fred made theintravenous solutions of sodium
ascorbate.

Editor's Note:
Because of the unusually high amounts of ascorbic acid used in Dr.
Klenner's treatment as reported in his paper, we asked him to verify
amounts mentioned. Following is his answer:
"To the Editor of the ICAN Journal: This will confirm
that all 'quantity' factors given in my paper are correct
and can be confirmed from hospital andmedical office
records. The notation relative to 150 grams represents
the amount used for reversing pathology in a given case
and was the amount given over a period of 24 hours.
(The I.V. was continuous.) This was given in three
bottles of 5D water, decanting only enough from 1000
c.c. to be replaced by the 'C' ampoules.
"Recently the FDA has published a 'warning' that too
much soda-ascorbatemight be harmful, referring to the
sodium ion. In reply to this I can state that for many
years I have taken 10 to 20 grams of sodium ascorbate

Klenner Biography

Ancient History and Homespun Vitamin C Therapies
Folklore of past civilizations report that for every disease
afflicting man there is an herb or its equivalent that will
effect a cure. In Puerto Rico the story has longbeen told
"that to have the health tree Acerola in one's back yard
would keep colds out of the front door."[1] The ascorbic
acid content of this cherry-like fruit is thirty times that
found in oranges. In Pennsylvania, U.S.A., it was, and for
many still is, Boneset, scientifically called Eupatorium
perfoliatum[2]. Although it is now rarely prescribed by
physicians, Boneset was the mostcommonly used
medicinal plant of eastern United States. Most farmsteads had a bundle of dried
Boneset in the attic or woodshed from which a most bitter tea would be meted
out to the unfortunate victim of a cold or fever. Having lived in that section of
the country we qualified many times for this particular drink. The Flu of 1918
stands out very forcefully in that the Klenners survived whenscores about us
were dying. Although bitter it was curative and most of the time the cure was
overnight. Several years ago my curiosity led me to assay this "herbal medicine"
and to my surprise and delight I found that we had been taking from ten to thirty
grams of natural vitamin C at one time. Even then it was given by body weight.
Children one cupful; adults two to three cupfuls. Cups thosedays held eight
ounces. Twentieth century man seemingly forgets that his ancestors made crude.
drugs from various plants and roots, and that these decoctions, infusions, juices,
powders, pills and ointments served his purpose. Elegant pharmacy has only
made the forms and shapes more acceptable.
