Jeanne Drisko History of Intravenous Vitamin C
Your host, Jeanne Drisko, MD, will take you on a journey to understand how intravenous vitamin C came into use. Dr Drisko is a translational researcher exploring the efficacy and mechanisms of actions of IV C used in patients with disorders like cancer and infection. The history will explore the discover by Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, early research by Claus W Jungeblut, use in the 1940s by Frederick Klenner for infections like poliomyelitis, and moving up to modern times with orthomolecular theories by Linus Pauling. The history has not been straight forward and not without controversy. This will kick off a multi-program tour of IV vitamin C.
