7. Vitamin C Dosage “ Dr . Frederick R. Klenner of Reidsville, North Carolina, who has had more actual clinical experience in megascorbic prophylaxis and megascorbic therapy in the past thirty years than anyone else in the world, routinely prescribes ten grams of ascorbic acid daily to his adult patients for the maintenance of good health.  His daily dosage schedule for children is one gram of ascorbic acid per year of age up to ten years and ten grams daily thereafter (e.g. a four-year-old child would receive four grams daily) . Dr. Pauling concluded that the optimum daily intake of ascorbic acid, for most human adults, is in the range of 2.3 grams to 9 grams ,” (Stone). HealthStory Productions, LLC

15. Pertussis Treatment Stone: “Meier (22), in 1945 , found a reduction in coughing and that the coughing spells were more easily tolerated, especially in infants .  There was general improvement, the children looked better and were more quiet, their appetite increased and vomiting disappeared.  He gave 500 milligrams by injection supplemented by six 300-milligram tablets orally, the dosage totaling 2,300 milligrams daily for the first few days.” Humphries: “The starting dose in children for sodium ascorbate is 200-375 mg per kg over 24 hours . If they are coughing until they are purple, then your doses of vitamin C are much too small. Bump them right up to the level of 375 milligrams per kilo of body weight over the waking hours, as a starting dose Don’t rely on Vitamin C to get into milk; it can take 8 hours. Breastfeeding moms can express some breast milk into a cup, and put a pinch (250 mg) of vitamin C powder into it , and mix it. Then, using a plastic eyedropper, dribble this into the baby’s mouth gradually over a few minutes. Don’t squirt it in – just drip it in, bit by bit. Or you can insert the dropper in as she breastfeeds, which would make it easier. Watch the child carefully throughout the day, and write down everything, including how you are feeling. Temperature, what time the child coughs, sound, mucous production, what triggered it. Caretakers/parents can take a large dose (one tablespoon) of cod liver oil, and about 10 grams of vitamin C spread out over waking hours. You may want to give more towards the end of the day, or whenever the coughing tends to be worse. If your dose is right, within 8 hours there should be a two-third reduction in the coughing. “ HealthStory Productions, LLC

21. Varicella (Chicken Pox) Treatment Pen & Paper Calendar Klenner (10), in 1949, injected eight "shingle" patients with ascorbic acid and seven claimed cessation of pain within two hours after the first injection . Seven also showed drying of the blisters within one day and in three days were clear of the lesions. Zureick (24), in 1950, treated 237 cases of "shingles" and  claimed cures in all in 3 days of injections of ascorbic acid.   (Stone) Schencking et al (2012) confirmed this with 7.5 g/50 mL IV for 67 patients with shingles.
