The Passing of a Medical Pioneer
Dr. Robert Cathcart has passed away. He had broken his hip a couple of
weeks ago and apparently developed complications which lead to
him developing pneumonia in the hospital. There are some reports that
the hospital denied him the use of vitamin C which of course he was
a pioneer in the use of in the treatment of disease. If this
is true it is definitely a scandalous decision which may have tragically
contributed to Dr. Cathcarts death.
His web site is still up and is a tremendous resource, despite the scoffing that it encounters from mainstream medical students and doctors. The vitamin C foundation will also be archiving it. This site contains Cathcarts theories and suggestions based on thousands of patients and a couple of decades of clinical experience. I am still shocked at the reaction most of this material gets from medical students and doctors that I share it with. There is unfortunately, a long way to go before medical science will embrace and investigate the multifaceted capabilities of this amazing molecule (vitamin c). I for one am grateful that Dr. Cathcart so stubbornly refused to be discouraged and shared his information freely with all of us on the Internet.
This nice article gives an overview of Dr. Cathcart's work and summarizes the rejection he encountered from the establishment.
