What if one of the safest, cheapest substances on the planet could save lives—and they knew it all along?
Every once in a while, something cuts straight through the noise. No fluff, no fence-sitting—just clarity. That’s how I felt when I recently came across Theo Farmer’s 2022 Substack essay Vitamin C Babies. The name alone stopped me in my tracks. But the story—it stirred something deeper.
Farmer lays bare a story we’ve heard before but rarely with such urgency: a safe, natural, and shockingly effective remedy—in this case, vitamin C—systematically dismissed by the institutions that claim to champion public health. The real kicker? It’s not just oversight. It’s a strategy. A design. A deliberate narrative control.
Curing the Incurable with Vitamin C with Dr Thomas Levy MD, JD
Before diving into the complexities of vitamin C’s role in health, it’s enlightening to hear directly from experts in the field. In a compelling episode of the “Pushing the Limits” podcast, fellow Kiwi Lisa Tamati interviews Dr. Thomas Levy, a renowned cardiologist and attorney. They discuss the transformative potential of high-dose vitamin C therapy in treating various diseases. You can watch the full interview here:
If you’ve just watched that and felt your worldview shift a little—you’re not alone. For many, this interview is a turning point. It raises the kind of questions that won’t go away once they’re asked:
- Why aren’t we hearing more about this?
- How many lives could have been saved if this knowledge was mainstream?
- And what does it say about the system we trust to guide our health?
Let’s unpack all of that. Because this isn’t just about vitamin C—it’s about what happens when truth becomes inconvenient, and who gets to decide what “evidence-based” really means.
A Dose of Deceit?
Let’s talk dosage—the elephant in the waiting room.
We’ve been told for decades that adults need a measly 65–90mg of vitamin C per day. That’s barely the amount in a small orange. Anything more? “Unnecessary,” they say. “Potentially dangerous,” they warn.
As Dr. Thomas Levy discusses in the interview above, high-dose vitamin C isn’t some fringe remedy—it’s a therapeutic tool backed by decades of clinical experience. He’s shown how mega-doses can neutralize toxins, reduce inflammation, and even reverse conditions mainstream medicine has labeled incurable. His work challenges the dogma not with hype, but with hard data—and that’s exactly why it’s been so aggressively sidelined.
And yet the medical establishment continues to treat high-dose vitamin C like quackery. Why? Simple: You can’t patent oranges.
When Truth Gets in the Way of Profit
Now, let’s rewind to Dr. Archie Kalokerinos, an Australian physician who dared to defy the dogma.
Working in remote Aboriginal communities, Kalokerinos saw alarming numbers of infants dying—often after routine vaccinations or during bouts of malnutrition. When he began administering high doses of vitamin C, the mortality rates plummeted. Lives were saved.
You’d think the medical community would celebrate. But instead of applause, Kalokerinos faced ridicule. Suppression. Professional exile.
His story, like Farmer’s Vitamin C Babies, exposes a hard truth: The system is not designed to explore solutions that undermine its own authority or profits. It’s built to protect its narrative, not necessarily your health.
The Inconvenient Truth About Prevention
Vitamin C is too accessible, too safe, too cheap—and that’s precisely the problem.
It doesn’t require a prescription. It won’t make Big Pharma rich. It can’t be monopolized. In fact, it might keep you out of the doctor’s office entirely. And what happens to a healthcare economy when fewer people need care?
It loses control.
Think about that. We’ve been led to believe that health is complicated, that only an expert can manage it. But what if that’s not always true? What if your body isn’t broken—it’s just undernourished?
Imagine This…
Imagine someone tells you 70mg of vitamin C a day is enough for vibrant health, it’s like saying a squirt gun can put out a forest fire. In today’s toxic, stress-heavy world, the bare minimum just doesn’t cut it.
It’s not just wrong—it’s dangerous.
And for those who try to correct the record? The medical cartel (yes, I said it) has ways of silencing them. Label them fringe. Revoke their licenses. Bury their research.
Meanwhile, the cost isn’t just scientific—it’s human. Missed cures. Preventable deaths. Generations raised in ignorance.
Your Critical Mindshift Starts Here
This article isn’t about scaring anyone. It’s about waking up. It’s about asking why the decades of evidence on high-dose vitamin C have been buried, ignored, or attacked—and who benefits from keeping it that way.
Health doesn’t have to be a mystery. Sometimes the answer is sitting right there in your fruit bowl, ignored because it doesn’t fit the business model.
So, ask the uncomfortable questions.
Demand better answers.
And never forget: a system that profits from sickness has little incentive to teach you how to stay well.
