I thought I would pass along this note by Dr. Garry Gordon and the article by Dr. Levy. I am a strong believer in the freedom of choice, especially when it comes to health care. I personally believe that we should always start with the most conservative, non-toxic treatments first.
Your right to receive IV vitamin C is your legal right, but without reading this you and or a loved could die because some doctor will not try IV Vitamin C on you. This can change all that! Make sure your loved ones learn how to fight for your life.
I have had to do this many times and Dr. Levy, as a cardiologist, attorney, and vitamin C expert is well positioned to offer this powerful legal opinion that we need to disseminate widely. Public pressure will change the paradigm and instead of saying there is nothing else that can be offered to someone in serious trouble, the response needs to become – you have the right to IV and oral high dose vitamin C.
First do no harm includes not needlessly withholding hope.

Vitamin C And The Law
A Personal Viewpoint by Thomas E. Levy, M.D., J.D.
(OMNS November 11, 2010) As a patient, you have the right to any therapy that is not prohibitively expensive, established to be effective, and not prohibitively toxic. Any physician, or panel of hospital-based physicians, claiming that vitamin C is experimental, unapproved, and/or posing unwarranted risks to the health of the patient, is really only demonstrating a complete and total ignorance or denial of the scientific literature. A serious question as to what the real motivations might be in the withholding of such a therapy then arises.
A doctor has the right to refuse to see you or treat you. A doctor does not have the right to deny you any therapy that is inexpensive and known to be effective and nontoxic; if there is toxicity involved, the patient can discharge his responsibility for such toxicity with proper informed consent. A doctor does not have the right to deny you consultation with another doctor that may have conflicting medical points of view.
Just as ignorance of the law is no sound defense to legal charges brought against you, ignorance of medical fact is ultimately no sound defense for a doctor withholding valid treatment, especially when that information can be easily accessed. While a hospital may or may not have a legal right to dictate to its physicians what they may or may not do, the patient and the family of the patient have the legal right to sue that hospital for any negative outcome that is perceived to directly result from such interference in patient care.
