Vitamin C can truthfully be designated as the antitoxic and antiviral vitamin. ~C.W. Jungeblut, M.D.
Claus Washington Jungblut, M.D.
Vitamin C as Antitoxin:
In 1935, Jungeblut showed that vitamin C inactivated diphtheria toxin. (Jungeblut CS, Zwemer RL. Inactivation of diphtheria toxin in vivo and in vito by crystalline vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Proc Soc Exper Biol Med 1935; 32: 1229-34.)
By 1937, Jungeblut demonstrated that ascorbate inactivated tetanus toxin. (Jungeblut CW. Inactivation of tetanus toxin by crystalline vitamin C (l-ascorbic acid). J Immunol 1937; 33:203-214.)
See, Journal of Experimental Medicine for papers on his research.

Claus W. Jungeblut was the first scientist to proclaim that ascorbate was antiviral. All that remained was to use enough of it.
William J. McCormick, M.D. (1880-1968)
Over 60 years ago, McCormick saw vitamin C deficiency as the essential cause of, and effective cure for, numerous communicable illnesses.
He was one of the very first to advocate injected, gram-sized doses of vitamin C as an antiviral and antibiotic.
(McCormick WJ. The changing incidence and mortality of infectious disease in relation to changed trends in nutrition. Medical Record, 1947. September.)
Vitamin C does not cause kidney stones
Modern writers consistently pass by the fact that McCormick used vitamin C to prevent and cure kidney stones… in 1946.
(McCormick WJ. Lithogenesis and hypovitaminosis. Medical Record, 1946. 159:7, July, p 410-413.)
Ascorbate deficit causes cardiovascular disease. McCormick also noted that four out of five coronary cases in hospital show vitamin C deficiency.
(McCormick WJ. Coronary thrombosis: a new concept of mechanism and etiology. Clinical Medicine, 1957. 4:7, July.)
Vitamin C is essential to strengthen the walls of blood vessels, small and large
A vitamin C deficient artery can literally “bleed” into itself
Blood clot forms: stroke may result
And the evidence continues throughout this video.
