6. Other drugs
We have also heard about other drugs, as well as supplements and vitamins, as possible solutions to COVID-19. As a matter of fact, some infected patients have tried high doses of vitamin C.
There’s no evidence that this works—there are only studies underway. For example, some Chinese researchers have registered a clinical trial to probe further into the effectiveness of IV vitamin C in hospitalized patients with Covid-19.
“What you’re seeing in a lot of these cases is we don’t have anything else to offer, so in the context of a clinical trial it’s worth testing most anything for which there would be a theoretical basis,” says Dr. Poland.
So, if you read or hear about a clinical trial and the possible effectiveness of vitamin C against COVID-19, that doesn’t mean you should run and shop for some lemons and supplements.
“Anything that pretends to be approved is automatically a scam at this point because nothing is approved,” says Dr. Poland. “The multibillion-dollar business of nutraceuticals, herbs, and supplements haven’t been able to demonstrate any efficacy with this particular infection.”

It is not true that the long-proven Cathcart Titration Method is either dangerous (it has never harmed anyone) nor that it has ever failed with any Corona virus. Various desperate trials have shown promise despite the failure of medical efforts to utilize the actual treatment. Trials by physicians with “megadoses” have not used the correct amounts (200-300 grams per day) but instead tiny fractions of the needed amounts (never reported, but almost certainly), and have still saved lives according to the NYT. It is an ongoing crime by physicians and researchers that has cost millions of lives over tge 42 years since Cathcart’s research was first published (ChemTech, Feb 1978).
