Dr. Suzanne Humphries, a vocal advocate for natural health solutions, has highlighted a startling observation about hospital care: many patients enter medical facilities with already low vitamin C levels and leave with borderline scurvy.
She argues that this reflects a broader neglect within mainstream medicine, which often overlooks the critical roles of nutrients like vitamin C and vitamin D in supporting recovery and overall health. According to Dr. Humphries, the irony is palpable—hospitals, meant to heal, may inadvertently exacerbate deficiencies due to restrictive policies on supplements.
She suggested a clever workaround: if you want to sneak vitamin C into a hospital room, ditch the supplement jar—it’ll be confiscated at the door. Instead, pour out a McDonald’s milkshake, refill it with a vitamin C-rich smoothie, and watch it sail through unquestioned. 'They’ll wave it right in,' she quips, noting how fast food is oddly deemed acceptable while natural remedies face scrutiny.
Dr. Humphries points out that stress, poor diet, and even a single cigarette can deplete vitamin C stores rapidly—up to 75 mg per smoke—leaving most people teetering on the edge of deficiency. With the FDA recommending just 90 mg daily, she contends this is woefully inadequate, especially for those under physical or emotional strain.
