Frederick Robert Klenner, ( 1907 – 1984) was a medical researcher and doctor in general practise who pioneered the use of large doses of ascorbic acid ( vitamin C) to treat a wide range of illnesses, but most notably in the treatment of Polio. He published 28 papers during his life. He was a pioneer in orthomolecular medicine but his work remains largely unrecognised by established science.
Life
Born in Pennsylvania, Dr. Klenner attended St. Vincent and St. Francis College, where he received his B.S. and M.S. degrees in biology. He graduated with honours and was awarded a teaching fellowship. He was also awarded the college medal for scholastic philosophy. He then took another teaching fellowship in chemistry at Catholic University, where he studied for his doctorate in physiology.
He graduated from Duke University, School of Medicine in 1936. After three years of hospital training he entered private medical practice in Reidsville, North Carolina. He continued to work there all his life.
His main subspecialty was diseases of the chest, but he became interested in the use of very large doses of Vitamin C in the treatment of a wide range of illness. Many of his experiments were performed on himself. In 1948, he published his first paper on the use of large doses of Vitamin C in the treatment of virus diseases.
In 1949 Dr Klenner published in and presented a paper to the American Medical Association detailing the complete cure of 60 out of 60 of his patients with polio using intravenous sodium ascorbate injection. He described giving up to 300,000 milligrams (mg) per day of the ph neutral sodium ascorbate. Generally, he gave 350 to 700 mg per kilogram body weight per day.
His maxim: the patient should "get large doses of Vitamin C in all pathological conditions while the physician ponders the diagnosis."
He inspired Linus Pauling and Irwin Stone to expand the research on the wider benefits of Vitamin C.
Dr. Klenner died in 1984.
