OMNS (May 9, 2023) One day, my next door neighbor came to my door and said her 5-year-old had scarfed down half a bottle of vitamin C chewables. She wondered, naturally, if there was danger. I asked if the child was showing any symptoms. She thought for a moment, and replied, "Well, his asthma went away." For asthma, Robert Cathcart, MD, recommended a daily vitamin C dosage of between 15,000 to 50,000 milligrams (mg), divided into eight doses. The doctor reported that he had seen this work again and again.
I first saw Dr. Cathcart on the Phil Donahue television show. Dr. Cathcart was seated on stage with five other guests, as Donahue moved about the studio audience soliciting their input that dominated the segment. Near the end of the program, Dr. Cathcart got a direct question about vitamin C. He answered with megadose-specific information for treating disease. The audience erupted with questions, hands up all over. The show was already going to credits before he could answer further.
