UPDATE - SEPSIS CURE cheap and safe!

Sepsis (blood poisoning) kills 250,000 each year - last year it killed actress Patty Duke.

Now there are two simple, easy treatments/cures for septic shock.

The Marik protocol could be an incredible breakthrough for third-world countries because it is so easy and inexpensive. 

Dr. Paul Marik of Eastern Virginia Medical School tried acombination of IV Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) and a hydrocortisone steroid on 150sepsis patients, ALL recovered. total cost of medicine in treatment $60. Inmost of the cases he added the vitamin B1 (thiamin) to increase the absorptionof vitamin C.

1 pound of ascorbic acid USP costs $12 or $25/Kilo.

There have been many complaints that there has been no clinical trial of this protocol but none of them mention that there is no evidence that the $60 treatment has any potential to do harm.

Ethically how can any doctor refuse to try this treatment when sepsis kills so many people?

Sepsis is the body's reaction to an infection and the Marik protocol doesn't treat the underlying infection, rather it keeps the patient alive long enough that doctors can determine the correct treatment for the infection.

Septic shock kills so quickly that doctors often can't treat the underlying infection quickly enough.

SECOND TREATMENT

If that isn't enough, there is a second new sepsis protocol makes use of a very small dose of a common chemotherapy drug. See my earlier posting here.
