Insect and Snake Bites cured with Ascorbic Acid
The clay is good, I even took an edible form at one time,
But Taking 10g or more of Ascorbic Acid will remove heavy metals from your body and brain, and in sever cases chelation therapy is needed, as for the only cure for spider bit read this...
Why death from insect and snake bites?
It is estimated that 6500 deaths occur each year in the United States from snake bite. Many more from various flying insects, spiders, certain plants and some caterpillars.These are needless deaths. Several factors are at work in these pathologies:
The tox-albumin of the snake bite, like the copperhead or rattler;
Formic acid plus a toxin with a protein cover, called proteotoxin by Arthus,[39] such as found in bees and wasps;
Neurotoxin from the Black Widow, the Fiddle Spider and snakes like the Cobra and Coral;
Production of histamine, especially in the more severe stings and bites.
Wells[40] in 1925 called the poison of certain spiders and snakes zootoxins and of poisonous plants, phytotoxins. Ford[41] in 1911 reported three classes of toxins in plants and fungi:
Nerve poisons-muscarine;
Those causing structural changes in the viscera with resulting fatty degeneration;
Gastrointestinal irritants.
Ascorbic acid to the rescue.
It is a demonstrated principle that the production of histamine and other end products from deaminized cell proteins released by injury to cells are a cause of shock. The clinical value of ascorbic acid in combating shock is explained when we realize that the deaminizing enzymes from the damaged cells are inhibited by vitamin C.[42] It has been shown by Chambers and Pollock[43] that mechanical damage to a cell results in pH changes which reverse the cell enzymes from constructive to destructive activity. The pH changes spread to other cells. This destructive activity releases histamine a major shock producing substance. The presence of vitamin C inhibits this enzyme transition into the destructive phase. Clark and Rossiter[44] reported that conditions of shock and stress cause depletion of the ascorbic acid content of the plasma. As with the virus bodies, ascorbic acid also joins with the protein factor of these toxins effecting quick destruction.
The answer to these emergencies is simple. Large amounts of ascorbic acid 350 mg to 700 mg per Kg. body weight given intravenously. In small patients, where veins are at a premium, ascorbic acid can easily be given intramuscularly in amounts up to two grams at one site. Several areas can be used with each dose given. Ice held to the gluteal muscles until red, almost eliminates the pain. We always reapply the ice for a few minutes after the injection. Ascorbic acid is also given, by mouth, as follow-up treatment. Every emergency room should be stocked with vitamin C ampoules of sufficient strength so that time will never be counted-as a factor in saving a life. The 4 gram, 20 c.c, ampoule and 10 gram 50 c.c. ampoule must be made available to the physician.
A case history-success due to promptness with a twelve gram injection.
As an example of the lethal effect of certain stings and bites, I briefly relate a case history. An adult male came to my office complaining of severe chest pain and the inability to take a deep breath. Stated that he had been "stung" or "bitten" 10 minutes earlier. Thinking that it was a Black Widow and not bothering to look for fang marks, due to the gravity of the situation, I gave one gram calcium gluconate intravenously. This gave no relief. He begged for help saying he was dying. He was becoming cyanotic [blue or livid skin from lack of oxygen]. Twelve grams of vitamin C was quickly pulled into a 50 c.c. syringe and with a 20 gauge needle was given intravenously as fast as the plunger could be pushed. Even before the injection was completed, he exclaimed, "Thank God". The poison had been neutralized that rapidly. He was sent home to locate the "culprit". He soon returned with an object that looked like a mouse. It was 1 1/2
inches long with long brown hair. There was a dark ridge down the entire back. It had seven pairs of propelling units and a tail much like a mouse. The following day I took "The Thing" to Duke University where it was identified as the Puss Caterpillar. This unusual caterpillar left 44 red raised marks on the back of its victim. Except for vitamin C this individual would have died from shock and asphyxiation.
