Default Auckland Health Board lies over Vitamin C

Auckland Health Board lies over Vitamin C by Keith Stewart Earlier this
week the Chief Medical Officer of the Auckland District Health Board, Dr
Margaret Wilsher issued a statement saying, "no evidence exists to
confidently say that high-dosage Vitamin C therapy is either safe or
effective." She lied. ....Dr Wilsher and the entire membership of the
Auckland City Hospital Clinical Practice Committee, who advised her, should
be prosecuted by the Ministry of Health for their failure to act in the best
interests of the public they serve.

They did act in the interests of the patients they serve, because there
is no good evidence to say that the vit. c therapy is effective.

Well it is true that Ascor L500 is approved (and very effective) for
use in the prevention and treatment of scurvy. Unfortunately for your
misquote that doesn't mean it is risk free or that there is any good
evidence it is any use for anything else.

That's their story and they're sticking to it.

There are a whole lot of nutritional supplements that conventional medicine
denies have any real purpose in the human body.
What's new?

Did you read the paragraph that you quoted, Carole? It says that
conventional medicine (the "conventional" is redundant as there is no
other form of medicine) says that a nutritional supplement, in this
case Vitamin C, has a real purpose in the human body.

What's new?


Only the stupid idea that medicine doesn't recognise the value of some
nutritional supplements.

Forgive me, I'll call it allopathic medicine from now on.
