• Mumps: A Threat to Campus?

• Mumps Outbreak

  • I would hope that with many college students being affected by the mumps that some of them would try titrating to bowel tolerance to control the disease.  In a teenager, titrating to bowel tolerance with this disease may involve doses of 100 to 200 grams a days divided into doses perhaps as frequent as every half hour at first.

• Mumps Outbreak Explodes

  • I have treated a number of patients with the mumps and the disease is always ameliorated or cured by massive doses of ascorbic acid orally or sodium ascorbate intravenously.  In children the disease is usually mild but can cause deafness.  Particularly in adults, it can cause , meningitis, a swelling of the testicles or ovaries and, rarely, death..  All of these complications result when free radicals get out of hand in the affected tissues.  Even the usual swelling of the parotid glands is mediated by free radicals.  All of this can be prevented by forcing electrons onto the affected tissues, forcing a reducing redox potential onto the affected tissues.  The trouble is that these massive doses of ascorbate will ameliorate all acute infectious disease and so be a financial disaster for the drug industry.

  • In case one is interested in exactly how to do this read the article on how to titrate to bowel tolerance with ascorbic acid or in the more serious cases try to get a physician to give intravenous sodium ascorbate in large doses.  In serious cases in adults the dose should start with 60 grams of sodium ascorbate intravenously given in 4 hours.  If that rate does not decrease the symptoms but is well tolerated, increase the rate of administration.  Ascorbic acid should be given orally, if tolerated, to bowel tolerance at the same time.  When the intravenous is no longer necessary, continue with the ascorbic acid orally until completely well.  With children, teenagers will take adult doses and smaller children will take ascorbate proportional to their weight.  Actually, usually children will tolerate ascorbate proportionally to their weight at a little higher amount than adults.

• Arizona on alert for mumps

  • It is admitted that there is no conventional treatment for mumps so since Arizona is a medical freedom state, maybe physicians there could treat their patients with mumps with massive doses of ascorbate and save them from complications.

• Doctors See Mumps Outbreak Spread Across Midwest

  • "See. concern, brace" but do not use massive doses of ascorbate because that would let the cat out of the bag as far as treating all acute infectious diseases.  How long is it going to be possible to stop this information? The internet is making this censorship very difficult.

  • They can brace all they want but what they will not do is use massive doses of ascorbate.  Viva la profits of the drug industry, to hell with the patients.
