"More than a million Americans fall ill from severe sepsis annually, and between 28 and 50 percent of them die" "sepsis patients often have undetectable levels of the nutrient" "Four of the 47 patients Marik documented in his paper died in the hospital. But their deaths, Marik reported, were from underlying diseases, not from sepsis. By comparison, 19 of the 47 patients he’d treated before trying vitamin C and steroids had died. So far, he’s treated more than 150 patients with the protocol and he says only one has died from sepsis.

Remember these are doctors screaming at each other here. Marik, who ran the test is the director of medicine at Norfolk hospital and makes his case. He's a thoracic surgeon like Hawkeye Pierce was, and Peter Levy, whose comments on the subject are also worth some attention: https://www.peakenergy.com/articles/nh20170522/Vitamin-C-and-sepsis:-The-genie-is-now-out-of-the-bottle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1kD3BolXnE 60 Minutes covered the above story too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrhkoFcOMII As long as you're bookmarking these,look at these too: Dr Peter Gøtzsche (7 mins each) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dozpAshvtsA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIIQVll7DYY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiJcSoo3C4Q Prof. Dan Burke (60 mins) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4tpPlqMJ7Y http://www.journalrepository.org/media/journals/BJMMR_12/2014/Dec/Lipinski632014BJMMR14858.pdf
