Oral vitamin C therapy as recommended by Dr. Robert Cathcart was employed to resolve within 14 days a case of mononucleosis contracted by my 17-year-old grand-daughter.

Procedure:
1st 24 hours, 7000mg ascorbic acid powder in orange juice every hour.
Subsequent days: 1000mg every hour until bowel tolerance syndrom; thereafter, an amount of the vitamin every three hours just short of bowel tolerance syndrome.

Having studied vitamin c more than any other substance, having performed vitamin c infusions on cancer patients, I can make some very specific footnotes to this posting.Use buffered powder. Do not use straight calcium ascorbate powder as the buffered form. Use sodium ascorbate or products buffered with broad range of different salts. Potssium, magnesium, calcium mixture is pretty tolerable. I make this recommendation as acidic vitamin c and calcium ascorbate has lower bowell tolerance and your dosages will be limitted. Also, it is hard to dose any medication more than four times a day. I whole heartedly recommend a timed release form of ascorbate to be taken with the powder. This will keep blood levels higher, longer. It also is easier on the stomach.

Alpha lipoic acid, and seleniium both slow down the excretion and oxidation of vitamin c.

For any viral infection. Do not taper up to bowell tolerance. Vitamin c cramps can be very uncomfortable and may discourage further use. Your target daily dose should be 30,000 mg per day. Taking both immediate release and delayed release. I gave vitamin c to my daughter who had mono. We also gave her sodium ascorbate nose drops and mixed new batch every 12 hours. You can use nose spray as often as you like and boost blood levels through the ceiling.(Pauling)

If you have successfully raised your daily intake to 30,000 mg and you don't feel better, you should add alkaline therapy or oxygen therapy to your protocol.

I was very happy to find "scientific" information about taking huge amounts of vit. C (to bowel tolerance). Saturating your body with it was said to detoxify it - and maybe it did as I felt really lousy! I took it for a week, mostly 26-30 grams/day, except one day when my bowels felt tolerant and l just stopped at 40 grams. I felt like I was dying! Terrible muscle cramps would not let me sleep. Desperately I tried calcium-magnesium-zinc supplement and could literally feel the muscles relaxing. Run out of it and got another brand-not working! I checked the bottles: the working supplement had COPPER! At that time-fortunately-I started taking 1000 mcg of vit. B 12/day and in a month I was ok.

LATER I read that vit. C interferes with the absorption of vit. B-12 and copper! That information should be posted every time someone talks about taking huge amounts of vit. C!

I had great results from using the coconut oil pills. After just 3 days I am feeling like I am back to normal! Thank God!

God Bless you all with children with mono. My son got it and lost almost a year of school. I am still taking care of him sick from time to time.

My recommendation is (which I wish to know in the beginning of his sickness) take your children out of all SUGAR, processed food, no microwaved food etc... ASAP give lots of Vit C (I use emergen c 1.000 power on water). Lots of rest, NO STRESS AT ALL. The most raw foods the better, if not, try to cook the food from fresh kinds only. Take all meat away. Use lots of protein (nat sources).

B12 (liquid) can help a lot for energy & preserve brain concentration. No caffeine, no to nat juice pasteurized (only juice made at home)

Pls use lots of fruits & vegetables. This should help the body to fight and recover for good. Otherwise if it stays in body it keep reactivating and it's become chronic & complications. My son has lots of problems with joint pain after the virus attacked him Jan 2010. I'm now trying further things such as acupuncture (I had & was great for pain)

I will start a raw diet for 3 months (because he remains so sick) this virus when attacked and stays causes lots of issues and increases candida, parasites etc.. so I learned that the raw diet cleans the parasites out of the organs, etc..

Truly hope no child goes as far as my son, but if so, look for natural ways to fight this virus because the doctor don't do nothing!!!!!! But we can do a lot to make things better and reverse the acute body infection, as well as fatigue. Oh! Lots of fresh air but never push to excercise because it cause lots of discomfort at night. Go gradually on that, better listen to your child. My son is teen, needs sports but small activities until he can do big ones. Bless 2 U ALL.
