Vitamin C Infectious Disease Secrets: Immune Boost & Cancer Prevention | Dr. Nathan Goodyear -Part 2

Welcome to another episode of Prescribed by Dr. Nathan Goodyear, where we explore cutting-edge medical science through the lens of integrative oncology and holistic health. In this episode, we dive deep into Vitamin C—a powerhouse of health benefits that’s been transforming medicine for nearly a century. Discover how Vitamin C combats infectious diseases, boosts the immune system, and enhances cancer treatment.

What You'll Learn in This Episode

Dr. Goodyear unpacks the historical significance and contemporary breakthroughs surrounding Vitamin C:

Boosting Immune Defense: Learn how high-dose IV Vitamin C enhances immune function, prevents cytokine storms, and fights systemic infections (Jungeblut, 1935).

Inhibiting Viral Activity: Explore Vitamin C’s mechanisms in combating viral replication and assembly, including its effectiveness against HIV (Harakeh, 1990), COVID-19 (Miranda-Massari, 2021), and herpes zoster (Ali & Nader, 2020).

Historical and Modern Applications: Trace Vitamin C’s journey from early studies in the 1930s to modern uses in treating polio, sepsis, and cancer (Jungeblut, 1937).

Precision Medicine: Discover the role of Vitamin C in multiomics, including genomics, metabolomics, and microbiomics, and how it tailors treatments to individual patient needs (Gonzalez et al., 2020).

Infectious Diseases and Cancer: Understand the critical link between infections caused by viruses, bacteria, and parasites and their role in cancer development (Vilchèze, 2013).

Key Takeaways

A Century of Evidence: The first study on Vitamin C demonstrated its ability to inactivate the polio virus (Jungeblut, 1935). Since then, it’s been studied extensively for its antiviral and antibacterial properties.

High-Dose IV Therapy: Achieving millimolar plasma levels of Vitamin C can significantly enhance recovery from acute viral infections like the flu and coronavirus (Rozga et al., 2020).

Cytotoxic Effects: Vitamin C targets pathogens and cancer cells while protecting healthy cells from oxidative damage (Klenner, 1951).

Bacteria and Parasites: Vitamin C shows promise in treating bacterial infections like tuberculosis (Vilchèze et al., 2018) and parasitic diseases such as malaria (Shi et al., 2021).

The Vitamin C-Cancer Connection

Did you know that up to 25% of cancers are linked to infectious diseases? Dr. Goodyear explains how Vitamin C disrupts this connection by:

Enhancing immune system functionality to fight cancer-causing viruses like Epstein-Barr virus (Mikirova & Hunninghake, 2014).

Reducing inflammation and oxidative stress that contribute to tumor growth (Hess et al., 2022).

Acting as a powerful adjunct to conventional therapies like chemotherapy and radiation (Holford et al., 2020).

Vitamin C’s role in precision medicine offers hope for targeted treatments that optimize patient outcomes, making it an indispensable tool in the fight against cancer and chronic diseases.

Why This Matters Now

During the COVID-19 pandemic, natural therapies like Vitamin C were often dismissed despite mounting evidence supporting their efficacy. Dr. Goodyear highlights how Vitamin C:

Prevented cytokine storms in COVID-19 patients (Boretti & Banik, 2020).
Improved survival rates and reduced hospital stays when used in high doses (Zhang et al., 2020).

Played a critical role in mitigating long-term complications of viral infections (Vollbracht & Kraft, 2022).

As the global medical community faces a trust crisis, it’s essential to revisit time-tested therapies like Vitamin C that are safe, cost-effective, and evidence-based.
