Diagnostic and educational failures described by Hickey and Roberts as “Genocidal” misled physicians and public. CardioRetinometry® discoveries continue revealing important contradictions. Occult scurvy generates astronomic pharmaceutical profits, unimagined hardship to all, optometrists, patients, and even physicians. Scurvy’s fifty diseases are Man’s genetic - ultimately fatal - vitamin C deficiency, missing from 1,000,000,000 death certificates. Idiopathic, spontaneously reducing ascorbate / dehydroascorbate ratio signals impending death. Every illness depletes ascorbate. >10,000,000 of 26,000,000 archived medical papers should but don´t mention scurvy. A “BLACK HOLE” occupies the archive. The author’s research is forcing a dramatic editorial policy review, discrediting high impact journals. Western medical school curricula and textbooks minimise vitamin C needs. Levy links 36 identified scurvy connections to preventable/reversible coronary artery disease, antihistamine development, statins, insulin, linking to contact lens comfort drops and $Millions spent fruitlessly seeking more contact lens ‘wetness.’ This paper, triggered by the enigmatic NSDE with normal tear prism, identifies corruption so extensive as to require several papers. This is therefore the third of perhaps ten papers to reveal the depth of the dishonesty that overtook pharmaco-medicine. The honest researchers, Nobellists Szent-Gyorgyi, and Linus Pauling, will be featured, with Nobel deserving Dr Frederick R. Klenner, Denham Harman, Robert Cathcart, Robert Hollenhorst. James Lind (1750) and Captain Cook, disgracing those who in the 20th Century obfuscated the subject and brought a BILLION people to premature death for pharmaco-medical gain. METHOD: Suspicions of a conspiracy to suppress vitamin C started in the 1940s. The chance discovery of nutritional CardioRetinometry® set in train many discoveries. Every successive violent and criminal attack by pharmaco-medicine confirmed author Bush in his determination to throw his entire resources into fighting the evil. CONCLUSION: The evidence is now overwhelming to prove malfeasance and full investigations must scrutinise the acts of the General Optical and Medical Councils.

In this fifth paper of the series (the second for this journal) superficial evidence available to every doctor is shown together with deeper images of the retina. Today´s mobile cameras are capable of recording the external circumcorneal vasculature very well but it is of limited value. Red eyes can have many causes from U/V light, atmospheric irritants, uncorrected eyestrain, lack of sleep, anxiety, and of course degrees of scurvy. No attempt is made in this paper to attribute to sources. It is simply an example of the sort of evidence that is to be presented with a detailed, logical account of the history of the great deception. The paper “sets the stage” for better understanding of the following papers. Author Bush states that everyone on Earth suffers from Scurvy some of the time and most people most of the time. Despite the “Black Hole” of Pub Med papers over 100 will be cited in due course. And again, discovery being seeing what everybody else has seen and nobody else has thought, the real cause of the dry eye feeling (long before the stage of giant cell papillary conjunctivitis) will be revealed. Good quality digital cameras will enable a database to be established. However eventually, every family doctor will need to be equipped with a 45° fundus camera to enable sequential comparison of the retinal microvasculature and retraining in nutritional CardioRetinometry®. Here are two kinds of photographic evidence pointing to coronary artery disease. The first is the kind that every physician can capture with a 45° fundus camera and enlarge the picture. These images are an invaluable guide to health and every family doctor is failing in his duty to patients if he doesn´t first have the images from within the last six months. Training in CardioRetinometry will then equip him to interpret them properly revealing past and present risks of hypertension, diabetes, glaucoma vulnerability (far better than any Optometrist´s tonometry that can miss cases of 18mms Hg passing them as safe). No physician has any idea of the cerebral circulation without the ability and experience of CardioRetinometry in evaluating retinal and neural perfusion as seen in the Optic disc or papilla. In short, doctors practising without fundus cameras are dangerous. The fundus camera can identify and inform the family doctor when to expect a patient to be vulnerable and at extra risk of angina, hypertension, fainting, thrombosis, stroke, kidney failure, cerebral degeneration, Alzheimer´s, depression, apathy, coronary insufficiency, cancer and chronic upper respiratory infections. The second series is unreliable as an indicator of degree of coronary atherosclerosis. This kind of evidence indicates progressive coronary atheroma. Nothing more. It can be obtained via a slit lamp biomicroscope or close up with many ordinary digital cameras especially on a megapixel ccd chip.

These images can–if chronic–betray advancing coronary artery disease but are unreliable. The image is ephemeral. This is like measuring vitamin C in plasma. It means very little as the result indicates only a transient, fleeting picture of the corpus humanus for a few hours. Six hours later the result can be the exact opposite. So all those tests done with strips and dye as used in the LAAT procedure are worthless unless repeated three times a day every day. The slit lamp biomicroscope cannot reveal any plaque in the circumcorneal vessels and this may surprise, for, when used in conjunction with a condensing lens in indirect ophthalmoscopy to gain a magnified view of the retina, the vessels there will usually be seen to carry a white line or reflex often along most of their length. This is not a true reflex. It is intraluminal plaque and is very accurately representative of degrees of coronary artery disease after some training and experience. Sequential changes ideally measured to +/-1%, will show if coronary atherosclerosis is increasing or decreasing. This is far more accurate than any amount of X-ray photography which is severely limited because each session causes 2% of cancer amongst heart x-ray patients.

After Michelson, Morganroth, Nichols and MacVaugh determined the up to 100% accuracy of fundus photography, even working with the primitive cameras and crude film emulsions of the era, it is disgusting that X-Ray procedures with injections and catheterisation with radio opaque dyes were continued. Even more disgusting is it that after the first images were uploaded to the internet in December 2003, showing reversal of arterial disease, that vitamin C continued to be rejected. Even more disgusting is it that McGilivray in Edinburgh sought to encourage the public that retinal photography would be used in the diagnosis of coronary heart disease without, of course, either mentioning or any apparent intention of using vitamin C. He doesn´t reply to e-mails.

In the “normal” course of events over a period of 16 years, from 1998 to 2014 as shown below, the expected change would be from Left to Right as atherosclerosis develops, circulation deteriorates and death slowly approaches. Here we see the deterioration not only arrested but reversed. All the vessels are functioning better, Neural recovery is evident. Blood flow is greatly improved and if the peripheral vasculature were shown it would be seen to be better perfused with reduced tortuosity of the vessels. The images are of the retinae belonging to author Bush´s older son born in 1956. His fundi now resemble more what we might expect to see in a very healthy 20 year old, and definitely better than we would expect to find in a sportsman engaged in competitive events with corresponding stress. (Figure)

The biochemistry of the mechanism controlling NSDE by ascorbate will be shown later together with evidence for its linking to control and reversal of coronary heart disease. Curing one cures both.

Sample Photomicrographs of contact lens wearers’ eyes showing, with one exception, typical improvements achieved within a week or two of supplementation with at least 1000mgs vitamin C. In all the author´s cases there is never more than one grade (out of ten) difference between the eyes in monocular wear of contact lenses. Siloxane elastomer lenses generally produce 1 to 1½ grades (of ten) improvement in the ‘average’ vessel state. (Figure)

How ascorbate deficiency connects to hundreds of conditions is easily shown. Future papers will show how extensive is the range of illness and potential created for medical opportunism enabled by the simple expedient of placing an “upper tolerable limit” on the least toxic substance on earth. Prescribing beyond this amount qualifies the medical practitioner in the UK for striking off the register, and as author Bush found in the USA, places such a limitation on CardioRetinometry research with older veterans of the armed forces as to render the research study useless. To illustrate the range of what these papers have in store, a short list of problems associated with either ignoring vitamin C needs, limiting their treatment or spreading false information will suffice until the next paper in the series.

CardioRetinometry and vulnerability to disease

ALL the following diseases are in some way connected to vitamin C and its evaluation at optimal levels can only be accomplished and that level maintained by Nutritional CardioRetinometry®.

Some actions and benefits of supplementary vitamin C

Here is a short list of areas insufficiently taught in medical school, most not being taught at all. After reading the list the following questions might be addressed.

1. Is it the case (studying the economic implications of the following list of actions and properties of vitamin C) that pharmacy and medicine perceive vitamin C as such a threat that it must be opposed at all costs?
2. Is it the case that this deprivation must include every means possible even if it means publishing text books that exclude the information for medical students?
3. Is it the case that diabetologists too, must have their text books doctored. We know of five that exclude all mention of vitamin C. Is the reason so that specialists can more honestly say they know of no benefit when asked by their patients, because “there is nothing in the literature?”
4. Is it the case that by deliberately starving the public of the essential knowledge which is the same as starving the public of vitamin C itself, that the desired objective is achieved, guaranteeing a steady and reliable flow of continuing heart disease, blood pressure, stroke, by-passes and arthritis to pain people so that the hospitals will always have work factories can produce ‘medicines’ and the public will always have pain and be forced to seek relief from painkillers and heart medicines?

Note: In the following list “Preventable? Curable?” is considered highly probable by authorities, accustomed to treating these and very similar conditions regularly by injected ascorbate. It is believed by many (until proved otherwise) that there are no bacteria or viruses which have so far been demonstrated as able to resist ascorbate in sufficient (non-toxic) concentration. As an adjuvant, ascorbate potentiates the antibiotics.

1. Abandoned Hippocratic Oath. ‘First do not harm!’ Vitamin C is less toxic than glucose and every medication. Injections of and oral vitamin C are non-toxic and harmless. The vast majority die scurvy related deaths. Honest physicians would ensure that every person admitted to hospital and every ill person always has sufficient vitamin C by injection especially when their condition becomes more critical. Principle of Medicine adhered to By Members of the       Orthomolecular Medical Association and Orthomolecular Medical Centres. To do less, like sending ambulances without a vitamin C drip or oral vitamin C immediately available for the         sick and injured is criminal neglect.
2. Absolute refusal of doctors to follow this basic rule proves them dishonest, promoting sickness
3. Abruptio placentae (Spontaneous abortion) prevented.
4. Abscess formation prevented and cured.
5. Absorption. Differential between the mouth and gut. Animals suffused directly from the liver.
6. Accommodation. Preservation of. (Anascorbaemia is also cataractogenic.)
7. Acetaminophen poisoning: Glutathione/ascorbate protection against hepatotoxicity. (Milk thistle is remarkable)
8. Actinic keratosis delay & prevention.
9. Actinomycosis: prevention and cure?
10. Actomyosin and muscle contraction vitamin C dependent.
11. Acute yellow atrophy of the liver. Preventable. ? Treatable?
12. Acyclovir actions of: Provided by ascorbate; especially in combination with Lysine.
13. Addison’s Disease: occult scurvy a factor in? Supplementation an essential precaution.
14. Adhesions – peritoneal and ocular prevented. (see symblepharon)
15. Adjuvant action: Potentiation of other medications, nutrients and hormones by ascorbate e.g. potentiation of insulin by ascorbate and in addition by vitamin E and mutual potentiation of ascorbate and vitamin E by each other. Ascorbate can act to stimulate antibody production.
16. Adrenaline. Epinephrin (adrenaline) stress hormone formed from tyrosine and phenylalanine in the adrenal glands, mediated by ascorbate, half life 2 minutes, acts on both alpha adrenergic (vasoconstriction) and beta cells (vasodilation) Adrenaline production stimulated by bright lights, noise, excitement.
17. Adverse ascorbate: dehydroascorbate ratio: Prodromal of death. <0.5 very poor prognosis.
18. Adenopathy: Reduction of when due to infection
19. Adenitis. Reduction of when due to infection.
20. Adenocarcinoma: Cases of regression. (see familial colorectal polyposis)
21. Adenoviral infection: Suppression of especially in contact lens wearers keratitis.
22. Adrenal glands. Ascorbate concentrated in the adrenals converts tyrosine to DOPA,         to dopamine, to   noradrenalin, to adrenaline (epinephrine)
23. African sleeping sickness. (Trypanosomiasis) curable? Risk to benefit ratio compels evaluation.
24. Agranulocytosis: Toxic, potentially fatal complication of antibiotics. A response to sulphonamides or antibiotics killing bone marrow and depleting white cells, leading to sore throat, septicaemia and perhaps death. All avoided by electing for the zero risk to benefit ratio of ascorbate as treatment of first resort. Thousands have died as a direct result of medical preference for antibiotics and now banned sulphonamides.
25. AIDS cure and prevention. Disease put into suspense.
26. Algid malaria. Dangerous form of malaria leading to condition resembling bacterial shock. Standard treatment by dopamine ignores the conversion of dopamine with vitamin C to norepinephrin with significance for pituitary, gonads, thyroid, hypothalamic function and pancreas. See Malaria.
27. Alimentary canal. Thought by supporters of ‘Dynamic flow’ principle of ascorbate absorption and utilisation to act as a reservoir, permitting possibly tens of grams of ascorbate directly from the gut, after absorption from the tongue. Selective ‘pumps’ or transporters are believed to act., up to 1,000 times more being absorbed when sickness demands it. (H&R 128).
28. Alkaline phosphatase enzyme test for obstructive jaundice and certain bone pathologies which is confounded by large intakes of ascorbate, requiring alternative testing or the passage of perhaps 6 hours before applying the test.
29. Allele (allelomorph) Genetic variant. Two of three polymorphic haptoglobin alleles (2-1 and 2-2) are linked to vulnerability to scurvy and the 1-1 type conferring resistance to the disease. Any RDA that ignores this basic physiological handicap condemned many explorers to death and       may account for the survival of others on long sea voyages. The most aged are more likely to possess the type 1-1 haptoglobin allele and cannot therefore account for their longevity.
30. Allergic conjunctivitis and ‘dry eye’.
31. Allergic reactions reduced/cured.
32. Alternative Medicine: Stated by Allopathic physicians to be “placebo based,” “often worthless,” “having successes of short duration,” “seldom having useful long term effects.” Vitamin C is often described as belonging to alternative medicine when, in fact it is the most fundamental basis on which rests the foundation of human physiology from which al medical studies spring, for without an understanding of the basic workings of the body in health (physiology) no attempt at understanding pathological processes is possible.
33. Amalgam. A metallic dental filling mistakenly used and now known to have depleted the body’s antioxidant reserves. The mercury component is countered in part by frequent and adequate dosing with vitamin C which chelates the cardiovascular system of al heavy metals e.g. lead, cadmium and hopefully strontium, beryllium, uranium etc.
34. Amoebic dysentery cure and prevention.
35. Amygdalin: Believed by some to be anticancer with the adjuvant action of ascorbate Also known as Laetrile. Found in the stones of bitter almonds.
36. Anabolism: One of the most important roles of ascorbate. Doubling of the birth weight of babies in the first 6 months is a good example and may be aided by ascorbate formed endogenously in the baby’s liver if the mother’s milk is depleted.
37. Anaesthetics detoxified with rapid complication free recovery if some sodium ascorbate powder is           present on the tongue as long as possible until anaesthesia begins.
38. Analgesic action of large doses (5-10 grams).
39. Analgesic doses and corneal graft.
40. Anaphylactic shock. Vitamin C is ‘the missing Anti-stress’ hormone.
41. Anascorbaemia and acute anascorbaemia. Cathcart’s description e.g. in haemorrhagic fevers when             plasma level falls to very dangerously low levels.
42. Anastomosis: A confluence of capillaries from different vessels as in the anal region.     CardioRetinometry suggests that with lower blood pressures aided perhaps by avoidance of cholesterol in the venous system, swelling of these vessels and associated tissues (Haemorrhoids).
43. Aneurysms cured (Micro-aneurysms in conjunctiva).
44. Aneurysm prevented e.g. aortic aneurysm.
45. Angina pectoris. Chest pain with oppressive feelings with exertion or anxiety. The result of occult scurvy causing coronary stenosis, not always visible by X-rays, either not noticed, ignored or   denied by the medical profession who are known to suffer from and die of coronary thrombosis themselves. Particularly embarrassing for cardiologists. Easily preventable and curable with careful monitoring by optometrists qualified in CardioRetinometry®.
46. Angiography: Obsolete medical first choice procedure for evaluation of heart (coronary) arteries. Occasionally fatal, the procedure is unpleasant; extremely expensive; often completely inconclusive; unrepeatable at any meaningful frequency because of the high dosage of X-rays; cannot indicate the true extent of blockages and merely represents blockages by lines on a negative type film. Ultrafast computed tomography is a little better and electron beam tomography a slight improvement. None can begin to indicate the subtle changes in stenosis as the cholesterol begins to be dissolved away as demonstrable by a qualified doctor of CardioRetinometry® who can image it daily.
47. Angioplasty: A crude and dangerous distension of a blocked heart vessel, already weakened which is why the cholesterol is supplied by the body for strengthening and waterproofing of the vessel.
48. Angioscopy: A ‘fightback’ procedure by cardiologists anxious to retain credibility in the evaluation of coronary artery blockage visualization using fibre optics and cameras pushed into the heart. The cholesterol is much more safely studied in the retina of the eye which mirrors the state of the heart blood vessels. It is completely unnecessary to locate the blockages in the heart. It is enough to know that they are there proportionately and disappearing with a    harmless, non-toxic pleasant and inexpensive supplementation.
49. Angiitis: Inflammation of a blood vessel. Whether due to histamine, or any other cause, oral ascorbate will assist healing cure.
50. Ankylosing spondylitis. Cured (Norman Cousins).
51. Antagonism (See Glucose ascorbate antagonism theory of Ely - Type 2 diabetes).
52. Anthrax cure and prevention. The Sterne strain of mice cannot be killed by anthrax spores blown directly into their lungs. (Bethesda. US Naval Lab). Presumabley they are able to make more hepatic ascorbate to overcome the threat to life.
53. Anti-allergic conjunctivitis, ‘dry eye’ prevention and cure.
54. Antibacterial properties of ascorbate.
55. Anticataractogenic properties in UVB wavelength conversion.
56. Antithrombotic effect. (Spittle 1973 and 1974) Scurvy increases clotting (Will et al. 1999).
57. Anxiety: Increase of need in state of.
58. Aortic aneurysm: Caused by chronic occult scurvy. Unusual in animals. Preventable.
59. Appendicitis: Prevention and possible cure.
60. Arsphenamine dermatitis (syphilis treatment) controlled.
61. Aqueous of eye. High concentration to protect lens and convert UVB-UVA.
62. Arthritis said to occur in or following many infections. The common factor is the scurvy induced by these many organisms. Preventable. Curable.
63. Artificial sweeteners. Saccharin and cyclamate are probably detoxified. Aspartame metabolites formic acid, formaldehyde and methyl alcohol unlikely.
64. Ascorbic Acid. First isolated by Albert Szent-Gyorgyi. Purest vitamin C. Unsuitable for injection. Dibasic acid with enediol group included in heterocyclic plane lactone ring. The molecule is said to be stabilised by delocation of the pi electron over the carbonyl and enediol system. (Tsao).
65. Ascorbic acid synthesis in murine liver is stimulated by glycogenolysis. (Braun et al. 1994).
66. Ascorbyl glucoside. Manufactured to increase ascorbate in skin. Glucose problematic/unknown.
67. Ascorbyl salts. E.g. palmitate, oleate and stearate, Anti staling agent in Bakery. Neutralised salts of calcium, magnesium, potassium etc. Ascorbyl salts applications mainly in pharmacy and cosmetics.
68. Aspirin: Detoxified by ascorbate and its analgesia aborted.
69. Aspirin as a cause of heart disease. Attacks vitamin C. depleting the body pool and causing occult scurvy.
70. Asthma. Cathcart reports cures with 15-50 grams/day in 4 to 8 doses/24 hrs.
71. Atherolysis. Dissolving of atheroma: (in the retina = retolysis). US patent Pauling L. Rath M. (1994) Prevention and treatment of occlusive cardiovascular disease with ascorbate and substances          that inhibit the binding of lipoprotein (a) U.S. Patent 5,278,189.
72. Atherosclerosis prevented in rabbits injected with cholesterol by supplemental vitamin C. (Sadava et al. 1982).
73. Atherosclerosis and total body cholesterol increased in Guinea pigs with scurvy. (Banerjee and Singh. 1958).
74. Atherosclerosis; Reductions to suboptimal levels of plasma ascorbate before symptoms become visible (occult scurvy) initiate the endogenous formation of lipoprotein alpha [Lp(a)] which impacts in the endothelial lining of the arteries and arterioles to preserve the waterproof barrier and assist in strengthening the vessel helping to cement new cells into place. High VLDL cholesterol is therefore a risk ‘marker’ not a risk ‘factor’ in atherosclerogenesis. Histamine levels rising as ascorbate falls, contribute to the process encouraging white cells (monocytes) to stick in the arteries. (Clemetson 1999) Harman demonstrated antihistaminic action reduced atherosclerosis in rabbits (1961) confirmed by Hollander (1974).
75. Atherosclerosis X-ray evidence for reduction (Spittle 1971) After 30 months on 1 to 3 grams of vitamin C/day during which period no strokes or heart attacks in 60 patients.
76. Avitaminosis C. Absence from the plasma of vitamin C. (Riordan after spider bite and 5 consecutive          days of 15 ram intravenous injections of sodium ascorbate before plasma vitamin C became    detectable.) Death was a possibility without the injections.
77. Bacillary and amoebic dysentery curable/ preventable.
78. Back pains. Collagen and muscular weakness are both ascorbate related. (Greenwood of Baylor: 1964. advice to Pauling.) See Carnitine.
79. Bacteraemic shock. Preventable? Curable?
80. Bacterial bronchopneumonia: Preventable, Curable.
81. Balanced diet belief of doctors to provide all the vitamins needed. A principal cause of early death. The amount of vitamin C needed is unpredictable due to food storage and without individual     assessment nobody knows how much vitamin C any person needs at any period in his life.
82. Bedsores where due to peripheral circulatory failure may be ameliorated especially in cases of institutionalised occult scurvy. Preventable? and curable?
83. Bile acid synthesis.
84. Biphasic characteristic in plasma.
85. Blepharitis Cured (Eyelid inflammation).
86. Blood brain barrier. Protective mechanism preventing passage of many drugs to the brain and spinal cord but easily passed by vitamin C. Probably also protects the retina and uveal tract from many antibiotics and medications which, whilst this would make ascorbate doubly important as one of a limited range of anti-infectives, is deliberately and forcefully ignored by the medical profession as in so many cases of obvious potential benefit with a ‘no cost’ and ‘no risk’ implication. This attitude again supports the view that too many physicians would allow the patient to die (in this case go blind perhaps) rather than admit the power of vitamin C beyond the range of a vitamin a claim published originally by Klenner.
87. Blood cholesterol; CardioRetinometry exposed the sham. The most ‘dangerous’ type is reduced by vitamin C. Once thought to be an indicator of heart disease. Very Low Density cholesterol is now known to be a risk ‘marker’ of coronary heart disease not a risk ‘factor.’ Control by statins has been exaggerated and more truthful studies now show no benefit in primary prevention with slight benefit in secondary prevention. It appears that the entire cholesterol programme has been a myth that has been exploited for the greatest swindle in history. Central medical characters are being lampooned and scorned on the Internet without having     responded with legal action for several years. The main heart and blood organisations are falling into ever greater disrepute as the full story emerges of tens of millions continued to die the more funding became available for ‘research’ and dying whilst the truth was ignored for gain. See cholesterol.
88. Blood cholesterol–high and raised by lack of vitamin C. Now recognised as a sign of greater life expectancy e.g. in Russia and many other countries where pharmaceutical advertising has less influence.
89. Blood cholesterol – low and lowered by vitamin C. Now recognised as a sign of shorter life expectancy e.g. in Russia and many other countries where pharmaceutical advertising has less influence.
90. Blood clotting. Impaired by scurvy when haemorrhage can be the ultimate cause of death.
91. Blood poisoning, (toxaemia, septicaemia) Preventable. Curable.
92. Blood pressure control.
93. Blood glucose (sugar) control in diabetes, (Dice & Daniel 1973).
94. Boils (Furunculosis) cured.
95. Bronchitis; preventable curable.
96. Bronchopneumonia; Infection of lung substance due to various bacteria and viruses all of which are expected to be - Preventable, Curable.
97. Brucellosis preventable - probably curable.
98. Bruising; Tendency to easy bruising is a positive sign of scurvy. The arms can eventually resemble a continuous bruise with very large reddened areas.
99. Bubonic plague. Preventable, Curable. Such diseases with very high incidence of fatality rarely killed everybody, suggesting that whilst communities had no natural antibody defence, some fortunate individuals are always likely to survive if fortunate to have a gamma gulon lactone gene able to convert more blood glucose into ascorbic acid.
100. Buerger’s disease. An arterial disease mainly of smokers. Preventable, Curable.
101. Buffy coat evaluation.
102. Burkitt’s lymphoma; Preventable? Curable?
103. Burns:
104. Bypass operation; entirely preventable when performed to remedy obstructive coronary atery    disease due to      prolonged chronic occult scurvy. Preventable. Curable if caught early enough.
105. Calcium ascorbate; preferred by some nutritionists especially in osteoporosis cases.
106. Cancer control by ascorbate injection (Riordan J. Orthomol Med. 1990).
107. Cancer & vitamin C orally e.g. Bladder about 20% cured (Euan Cameron Vale of Leven study
108. Breast about 10% cured
109. Bronchus ~ 5% cured
110. Colon about 20% cured
111. Kidney about 10% cured                                  
112. Ovary about 18% cured                                   
113. Rectum ~ 15% cured
114. Stomach ~ 10% cured
115. Cancer: Ehrlich Ascites killed (Benade et al. 1969. Oncology. 23, 33-43).
116. Cancer, familial colonic polyposis regressed (DeCosse et al on 3 grams or more/day).
117. Cancer; Japanese Fukuoka Torikai study 25% survivors on 30 grams/ascorbate/day.
118. Cancer killed by concentration of 400mgs/Kg or Litre of plasma. (Riordan J.Orthomol Med 1996).
119. Cancer killed by hydrogen peroxide when catalase conversion/protection weak in cancer cells.
120. Cancer; Mayo Clinic falsified study by Moertel et al. Pauling page 234. (1986 book).
121. Cancer regressed by quenching of free radical dependent hypoxic factor 1b enzyme.
122. Candida CAN be cured (Cancer link).
123. Capillary fragility and easy bruising classical signs of scurvy. Prolonged bleeding. See Histamine.
124. Carbon monoxide poisoning. Pioneering physician Dr. Klenner discovered that ascorbate injected could act as what he called a ‘flash oxidiser’ of carbon monoxide in potentially fatal cases. Quoted in British Medical Journal Rapid Responses by the author but ignored. It is obvious that every fire engine should be equipped with an intravenous drip or hypodermic for immediate injection with one or two members of the crew trained in its administration.
125. CardioRetinometry® Name coined by Sydney Bush to define the activity of relating retinal arterial changes to occlusive coronary artery changes. See Nutritional Preventive and Therapeutic CardioRetinometry®.
126. Cardiovascular disease; the most widespread disease in the West affecting heart and blood vessels. It is the most common cause of death. Nutritional Preventive CardioRetinometry is the first system of effective prevention and   whatever is eventually found to be the actual cause, is the first system to have shown consistent reversal of the arterial plaque. Believed by the author to be mainly due to the ascorbate or ascorbic acid in vitamin C tablets, or in an improved vitamin C bearing diets, or as a result of lessened stress due to the education that has accompanied the demonstration of consistent and continuing visible reductions of arterial plaque, patients readily sign testimonials to their belief that vitamin C is the main effective agent. Physicians may wish to argue and remain infatuated with low dosages but the contact lens wearing population in which the phenomenon was discovered in 1999, has been exposed to and encouraged to persist in gram and mega gram doses for over 20 years.
127. Carnitine production from L-Lysine is ascorbate dependent. 80% from L-Lysine. See Lysine. Ascorbate and Carnitine. Ascorbate converts (2 of 5 stages of hydroxylation) lysine to Carnitine for muscular contraction. Acts on the adrenergic and weakly on beta receptors in muscle.
128. Carotid endarterectomy; similar to a heart bypass but without grafting. The carotid arteries are opened and the plaque surgically removed. Carotid stenosis in exactly the same way as coronary artery disease is entirely preventable and the plaque can be easily redissolved back into the plasma whence it came. Ib cases of observing hundreds of plaque reductions in the retinal arteries the experience for both examiner and patient has been ‘like watching paint dry.’Carpal tunnel syndrome. Shown by Ellis, Folkers et al. in 1982 to be reversible with vitamin B6 now thought to be assisted by the adjuvant actions of ascorbate.
129. Cataract prevented/reduced.
130. Cellulitis – if caused by infection - Preventable? Curable?
131. Cerebral haemorrhage (subarachnoid haemorrhage) all risks increased by scurvy.
132. Cerebrospinal fluid pressure control and reduction.
133. Cerebrospinal fever / meningitis; Preventable? Curable?
134. Cerebrostriate artery blockage or rupture or both are forms of stroke to all of which risks people become exposed when living for years with chronic occult scurvy. Preventable; Curable.
135.  Chelation of heavy metals from the system.
136. Chemokinesis,
137. Chemotaxis and
138. Chickenpox cure and prevention.
139. Chirality (handedness) and ascorbate. (Greek cheir = hand) Left handed molecule. The Right handed stereo molecule is not recognised by the body.
140. Cholangitis. Probably due to blockage by small gall stones. Preventable? Curable?
141. Cholecystitis; Due to abnormal cholesterol excretion leading to gallstone blockage of the bile duct. Preventable? Curable?
142. Cholecystotomy and gall bladder removal Preventable.
143. Cholera. Infectious waterborne disease. Preventable? Curable?
144. Cholesterol excretion normalised by ascorbate.
145. Cholesterol induced scurvy when injected demonstrating high cholesterol increases need. (Dent et al. 1951; Booker et         al. 1957).
146. Cholesterol synthesis normal liver function, more important than dietary cholesterol in regulating blood cholesterol.
147. Cholesterol Very Low Density Lipoprotein alpha reduced (not a heart disease ‘factor’ - it’s a ‘marker’)
148. Cholesterol – very low density.
149. Cholesterolysis - Vitamin C dissolves arterial plaque (Bush 2004).

159. Cl-esterase component of complement is, without doubt, increased by ascorbate. The Cl-esterase component of the immune system is vital for the functioning of the entire complement cascade and there is no doubt that it would become inoperable and would be unable to differentiate between ‘self’ and ‘non-self.’
160. Clotbusting Vitamin C. Fibrinolytic (dissolving) action demonstrated. (Bordia et al. 1978).
161. Collagen first formed as a three stranded structure from amino acids Glycine and proline.

173. Comfort drops. Typical allopathic symptomatic medical treatment for ‘dry eye.’ The cause of true dry eye requires to be addressed. In Contact lens wearers, Bush states that ‘not so dry eye’ a condition of ‘loss of gloss’ or micropapillary conjunctivitis causing increased blink friction is reversible and due to histaminaemia or anascorbaemia, a lack of vitamin C in the plasma). Plasma histamine is inversely proportional to ascorbate.

Johnston “What you should Know About Health Care Before You Call A Doctor” 1975. and in a multitude of ‘papers’ and ‘scientific reviews’ with obvious political motives e.g. the John Major Government’s supposedly ‘Ministry of Food’ funded Lunec cancer suggestion now known to have caused cancer deaths. Dr. W.T.Hughes fails to mention in his paper on Cancer in Children. (Primary Care and Cancer October pp66-72) Dr. Mark Levine (NIH) dissociates himself from mutagenesis, rebound scurvy, infertility and destruction of B12 scares.
202. Denigration of Vitamin C. Dr Mark Levine (NIH) rebuts above scares but insists on kidney stone ‘no matter how small the risk’ disregarding the greater danger to millions of understating the minimum on the same grounds – deprivation and early death no matter how small the risk.
203. Dental caries; Infection due to immune system weakened, perhaps by amalgam fillings, creating downward spiral of health and more fillings. Brushing and ‘flossing’ do not reach into the sulcus between tooth and gum where only a mouthwash or ascorbate can penetrate and kill the bacteria. Frequent use of a dental mouthwash four times per day would be necessary but would be harmful with eventual fatal results as     whatever kills bacteria (ascorbate excepted) kills us.

717. “10,000 published scientific papers make it quite clear that there is not one body process (such as what goes on in cells or tissues) and not one disease or syndrome (from the common cold to leprosy) that is not influenced directly or indirectly – by vitamin C.” Drs Emanuel Cheraskin, Marshall Ringsdorf and Emily Sisley.
718. In 1960 there were 18 papers published mentioning scurvy entered in the entire medical archive of millions of papers in the National Library of Medicine.

Below are personal and anecdotal accounts from which we hopefully learn before it is too late, there being no other opportunity than to listen to those with their own limited experiences as few NHS doctors either know about them or want to teach us. These results have been acquired as a result of being the only UK practice to dispense vitamin C in 200gram pots for over 20 years.

719. Sudden blindness in one eye. Bowel tolerance doses immediately i.e. 10 grams every 30 minutes until the diarrhoea starts, then reduce to a comfortable amount and seek medical attention urgently. (A radio message from a ship in mid ocean described such a case. I was consulted and by the time the vessel reached port, some sight was beginning to return. It later resolved completely without treatment. The author diagnosed scurvy due to breathing the crew’s ‘duty free’ cigarette smoke. No treatment was possible in hospital as the eye was full of blood. The diagnosis of scurvy followed from the dietary and environmental details together with the circumstances of the sudden onset of blindness.
720. Viral infection of the middle ear – dizziness and collapse. Bowel tolerance may lead to rapid cure.
721. Unexplained swellin of lymph or neck glands. Bowel tolerance immediately with half hourly doses.
722. Septic finger, throbbing and red. Soaking in ascorbic acid or better, sodium ascorbate will cure very quicly supported by oral dosing.
723. Epididymitis cured against medical advice for tetracycline. 112 grams/day.
724. Influenza in a 15yr old grandson unable to stand on waking early am. Pulse 120. Feverish. Refuses to have doctor and         asks for vitamin C cure. Consumes adult equivalent of approx 50 grams sodium ascorbate in four hours continuing at ten grams/hr. Pulse 90 by evening and normal mext morning after aking vitamin C every 2 hrs during the night. Kept in the house and mostly in bed next day and returnsd home by train for the weekend 48hrs after being unable to stand up and walk.
725. Asthmatic contact lens patient. Thanks me for giving her the Dr. Cathcart Bowel tolerance table. States that she was accustomed to six or more emergency visits to the hospital per annum but was now well controlled with no more       hospitalizations after a year.
726. Colleague’s wife e-mails after reading optometry e-mail forum letters and asks for elp. Daughter has reached the end with the hospital consultant who can do no more. Child is 14, now losing weight and the mother is desperate. She has not been to school for over a year because she has to go to hospital twice per day for assistance with breathing and has been on continuous antibiotics for a year. Consultant raises no objections and within two months the child is back at school, of antibiotics and gaining weight.
727. Mother of Daughter of anesthetist father asks for help. Her daughter is continually sick with upper respiratory infections and is leaving home to start medical school. Dr. Cathcart’s bowel tolerance table supplied and sodium L-ascorbate. Father writes a glowing letter of thanks approx 6 weeks later to describe the transformation in his daughter.
728. Close relative diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Comes back to Hull in panic. Hospital can do nothing for her. Takes          Dr. Cathcart’s bowel tolerance table and stock of vitamin C back home – a 300 mile trip and suffers no further episodes in ten years up to the present time.
729. Wife suffers intense pains doctors unable to diagnose. Started on increased vitamin C from 1 or 2 grams/day increasing to 40 grams/day of ascorbic acid in divided doses. Fever and pain worsen and become linked to periods. Hospital specialist says pain may be crystals in ureters that don’t show on x-rays and tries to order me to stop giving her vitamin C. I argue with him telling him that the vitamin C is better at keeping her temperature down than the continuous antibiotic given IV in hospital with a fan and no bed coverings in an attempt to control her fever. Eventually hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy ends the problem being caused by gangrene.
730. March 2007 I am hospitalised with an acute haematuria at age 78. Sodium ascorbate is consumed secretly as powder for 48 hrs as blood is lost until I am too weak to hold a newspaper. A non-cancerous prostate is removed. The surgeon states that he normally removes a prostate gland of approximately 60 grams. Mine was 360 grams and he photographed it. I awoke without nausea or pain. I refused all antibiotics, [pain killers, muscle relaxants and anticoagulants (having had 1,000 i.u. of natural vitamin E per day for approximately 40 years and not wanting a haemorrhagic stroke. Recovery was uneventful and very satisfactory partial male function returned within about 9 months.
731. At Xmas 2007 after a flight to Spain awoke with influenza and pulse 100. (normally 50) stayed in for 3 days until pulse normal, taking 150 – 200 grams of sodium L-ascorbate per day in hourly doses and as much as possible during the night. After 72 hrs appear to be fully recovered. In March 2008 experience cardiac arrhythmia with atrial pulse of 160. Ventricular pulse 70. Sweating, breathless, barely able to walk. Hospital for a week. Medication minimal digoxin and Bisoprolol 2.5 mgs bds plus furosemide diuretic. Intense abdominal pain forces hospital stay and Bumetanide 1mg bds diuretic prescribed followed by increase of digoxin to 1.25mcgs and Bisoprolol to 5mgs bds. Pulse slowly returns to normal 65 over the next 9 months with resting BP 125/65. Periodic sweating with a tendency to overheat but am very happy that Cardiologist Dr Matthias Rath’s advice appears to have helped considerably. In hospital I                 noted – on the specialist cardiac ward, that I was offered no vitamins at all. I was offered no magnesium despite my                 maximal heart rate. I was offered no Co-enzyme Q-10 – essential for a weakened heart function. I was offered no caffeine free drinks, the doctors care was minimal; I had no Holter recording for over a month. The cardiologists to whom I tried to show ‘before and after’ images of retinal atherosclerosis dissolving with vitamin C and stressed retinal blood vessels recovering normal shape were totally disinterested. The NHS nursing was marvelous. In 2017. Pulse steady 57 with minimal Bisporoplol and Losartan.
732. Haemorrhoids that caused me to consult my doctor at age 35 disappeared after high dose vitamin C fifty years ago, never to return.
733. I had warned one of my practice nurses aged over 60, about the danger of developing Macula Degeneration if she did            not stop smoking, started with the condition in one eye. I diagnosed it as wet form ARMD. I started her immediately   on as much ascorbate as she could take with daily spinach and evening primrose oil. She became suicidal after an ophthalmologist told her to start training for life as a blind person.
