Appendix
Since presenting this paper, we have observed that improvement in all categories is enhanced when the intravenous injection contains 800 mg. to 1000 mg. thiamin hydrochloride, 200 mg. pyridoxine, 400 mg. niacinamide, 100 mg. nicotinic acid. The thiamin hydrochloride solution must be clear. The amount of niacin employed must be calculated from the “flush factor” of a given patient. The injection is made with a 20cc or 30cc syringe, using a 23G x 3/4 inch or 22G x 1 inch needle. Intravenous medication can be given daily; it should be administered at least twice weekly. Due to sensitivity possibilities, we always have the patient take the intramuscular injections for three weeks before starting intravenous therapy.

    Frederich R. Klenner, BS, MS, MD
    Reidsville, North Carolina
    A native of Pennsylvania, Dr. Klenner attended St. Vincent and St. Francis Colleges, where he received his BS and MS degrees in Biology. He graduated magna cum laude and was awarded a teaching fellowship there. He was also awarded the college medal for scholastic philosophy. There followed another teaching fellowship in Chemistry at Catholic University, where he pursued studies for a doctorate in Physiology.

    Dr. Klenner then migrated to North Carolina and Duke University to continue his studies. He arrived in time to use his knowledge in Physiology and Chemistry to free the nervous system of the frog for a symposium, by immersing the animal in 10% nitric acid. Taken in tow by Dr. Pearse, chairman of the department, he was finally persuaded to enter the school of medicine. He completed his studies at Duke University and received his medical degree in 1936.

    Dr. Klenner served three years in post-graduate hospital training before embarking on a private practice. Although specializing in diseases of the chest, he continued to do General Practice because of the opportunities it afforded for observations in medicine. His patients were as enthusiastic as he in playing "guinea pigs" to study the action of ascorbic acid. The first massive doses of ascorbic acid he gave to himself. Each time something new appeared on the horizon, he took the same amount of ascorbic acid to study its effects so as to come up with the answers.

    Dr. Klenner's list of honours and professional affiliations is tremendous. He is listed in various "Who's Who" registers, and has published many scientific papers throughout his career. Dr. Klenner is a Fellow: The American College of Chest Physicians; Fellow & Diplomate: The International College of Applied Nutrition; Fellow: The American Association for the Advancement of Science; Fellow: The American College of Angiology; Fellow: The American Academy of Family Practice; Fellow: The Royal Society of Health (London); Fellow (Honorary): The International Academy of Preventive and Orthomolecular Medicine; Fellow: International College of Angiology; and Founder-Fellow: American Geriatrics Society.

  • The Midlife Women’s Health Summit: Evidence-Based Menopause Care in the Era of Longevity Medicine

    The Ritz-Carlton, Pentagon City 1250 S Hayes St, Arlington, VA, United States
    Hybrid Event

    Menopause Care in the Longevity Era Longevity medicine is everywhere right now. Supplements, protocols, influencer clinics, patients walking in with questions about interventions their doctors have never heard of. What's missing from most of it is the evidence. The Midlife Women's Health Summit is three days on what the research actually says about menopause care when you add a longevity lens. What works, what doesn't, what's being oversold, and what to tell the patient sitting in front of you. Co-chaired by Lisa Larkin, MD, FACP, MSCP, IF, Jen Gunter, MD, FRCS(C), FACOG, DABPM, ABPMR, and Lauren Streicher, MD, FACOG, MSCP; three of the clearest voices in women's health on separating data from marketing.

Exposure, Activity, Contribution: Reading Epstein-Barr Findings in the Individual Patient

Robert Lamberton, BSc, FNTP – Epstein-Barr virus accounts for roughly 2% of cancers worldwide, approaching 360,000 new cases and as many as 210,000 deaths each year, and about 95% of adults carry it. In the overwhelming majority, it causes nothing at all.

When a test for an agent is positive in nearly everyone, a positive test is not a finding. It is a background condition.
