Becoming Paul Marik's close colleague was the most inspiring turn my career ever took, until the same partnership got us both excommunicated from academic medicine and ended his career at the bedside.
This is a direct account of a medical controversy that deserves careful attention.
Timing matters. The idea that treatment within six hours could help is convincing. In early sepsis, vitamin C might work because the body can still recover, but in later stages, organ failure may be too severe. If studies mix early and late cases, they could miss any real benefit.
Systems matter too. At Marik's hospital, ICU teams wrote orders right in the emergency room, which cut out delays. The results were not just about the treatment itself, but also about how the hospital worked. Real outcomes depend as much on good systems as on the drugs used.
Trial design is important. Your point is similar to the Linus Pauling case. If the treatment needs higher concentrations than oral doses can provide, then testing it with oral doses is not really testing the same thing.
The professional impact is real. It is important to record what happened to both of you. When careers are put at risk for exploring controversial ideas, the medical field loses important voices.
The scurvy comparison is troubling. What if we are only treating symptoms while patients still have a vitamin C deficiency? That is a basic problem that needs attention.
Has anyone done a trial focused only on the first six hours in the emergency room, with biomarker monitoring? That seems like the best way to move forward.
Thank you for being open about your experience. Even if iHAT does not work for everyone, what you have shared helps us all understand more.
WOW. My spouse had an appendectomy, the OR was so busy he began to rupture just before surgery. There were issues later. This is extremely important information.
What I find most interesting here is not the claim that sepsis has a single “cure,” but the question of timing and physiological state. In a living system, the same intervention may not have the same effect at every stage of collapse. By the time perfusion, transport and cellular metabolism are severely disturbed, simply putting more of a substance into the bloodstream may tell us very little about whether it can still reach the place where it is needed. That does not prove the original hypothesis was correct. But it does raise a broader question for clinical trials: are we sometimes testing an intervention as if the patient were a static system, when the biology may already have crossed into a very different state?
A doctor will watch you die as he cuts things off. I beat gas-gangrene after a clot with constant hotsoaks, constant pummeling of the limb, lots of garlic, turmeric, ginger and clove and lots of fluids in conjunction with DMSOlisterine-wetted socks. Sounds crazy but death & amputation were the med-options. Took weeks but I got my leg back in the black.
Awesome read,I have been through septic shock myself,where it was GOD who healed me,got released in 5 days and the specialist had no clue as to how all my markers drastically changed so fast.
Unchecked – suppressed aggression(self regulation) seeks to shatter our capacity for presence, coherence, and boundary. But investing in self-regulation—teaching and feeling how to say stop, how to sense, how to restore—builds a resilience stronger than walls, more lasting than weapons. This isn’t naive pacifism; it’s a deeper security, emerging from attuned individuals and institutions, aligned with both humanity and reality.
By reclaiming our cosmic reflex—the ability to feel, to self regulate, orient, and say “enough”—we resist the tyrant not just with armor, but with the grounded autonomy of our shared human nature.

a short version: Just study the effect of tyrants/psychopathic traditions – their reality orientation. How do we deal with their attack on humanity? They try to destroy and kill us.
Reality as it is today means that without major investment/priority in the attack paradigm,(self regulation – the ability to say stop when its enough) there is no security. Only the defence/armoured/money waste illusion, war and helplessness.
As a criticsl care nurse I remember those reports that high dose Vit C was having amazing results in saving patients in sevete sepsis, but hospitals wouldnt let them use it. Severe sepsis has a mortality rate of 90%; whats to lose? Modern Medicine is in shambles after the covid fiasco now too, hope there will be massive changes soon!
Most doctors suffer from group think and are seriously dumber than a box o' rocks. Far too many, just learn and regurgitate. It pays their bills right? But don't ask most to venture into creative or critical thinking.........no-no-no..... the grass will grow waaay too long waiting for that.
BIG problem with allopathy is that pharmacuetical companies, now hold most governments (therefore health protocols), hospitals and doctors like putty in the palm of their hands. They run the circus.
Go to alternative practices like Pierre has.
Look up Orthomolecular Medicine to find like minded cohort.
You've got the brains and the right attitude - don't waste your talents!
Knowing about this protocol might save your life. This is a long read, but the short version is that the Marik Vitamin C protocol only works for Sepsis if given PROMPTLY. If you wait 6 hours, it's too late. Pierre makes a humpty-dumpty analogy that is clever.
Mark Sheldrick, an Australian researcher, discovered statistical anomalies in the patient data for the Vitamin C trial that were so anomalous that it is extremely likely that they were falsely produced.
His request that the journal investigate and potentially retract Marik’s paper was rejected, but the anomaly remains.
Let us not forget that Marik (and you, Kory 🙄😉) had your MATH+ protocol publication about Covid claiming a dramatic reduction in mortality was retracted after investigation showing that you two chancers had failed to add in all the patients who had died on your experimental snake oil. Their mortality was actually over 4 times higher than you claimed.
Given that history, and the anomalies found by Sheldrick in the Vitamin C data, how can anyone ever trust anything he publishes ever again?
aye aye aye. Sheldrick found no anomalies. We "misreported" nothing; the data was accurate at that time, whatever its limitations. We were asked to report the data differently once more data accumulated, which was cute. Have you learned nothing these past 5 years? Anyone producing "inconvenient science" undergoes what we go through. Have you looked into Sheldrick and the mysterious way a junior guy got such large grants? Are you aware he retracted everything he accused us of? Not sure why I wrote back, as I have long ignored those convinced we are up to no good, but forgot myself for a moment

A.M.A. ……..there will never be another catastrophic cure…this was after the discovery of the Saulk vac. for polio. Toppled the iron lung industry.
You can beat sepsis.
A doctor will watch you die as he cuts things off.

Conclusion: From Tyranny to Autonomy
Unchecked – suppressed aggression(self regulation) seeks to shatter our capacity for presence, coherence, and boundary.

So maddening. How many lives might have been saved?
Absolutely Amazing😄😇🙏🙏🙏
This is a great article. I hope it reaches people and patients since it seems so many doctors remain resistant.
MANY THANKS FOR ALL OF THIS!!

Fascinating…
My husband died of sepsis -
Hmmm… I think this is incredibly dodgy.
