TY - JOUR T1 - Control of Interstitial Pneumonia by Drip Infusion of Megadose Vitamin C, Dehydroepiandrosterone and Cortisol. A Short Review of our Experience JF - In Vivo JO - In Vivo SP - 263 LP - 267 VL - 22 IS - 2 AU - MITSUO KODAMA AU - ATSUSHI OYAMA AU - HIROSHI TAKAGI Y1 - 2008/03/01 UR - http://iv.iiarjournals.org/content/22/2/263.abstract N2 - Interstitial pneumonia can be controlled by the combined use of a prophylactic antibiotic system and the drip infusion system including megadose vitamin C, dehydro-epiandrosterone (D) and cortisol (F), a fortified substitute of 3 adrenocortical elements. The response of patients was satisfying with few side-effects of F. It was shown that an excess of vitamin C improved the therapeutic efficacy of D-F complex, and that D and F improved the immunodeficient state of the host. The benefit of D as an adrenal androgen in immunology found another example in the combined use of cyclosporine A (CS) and glucocorticoid (G) in the kidney transplantation clinic: CS and G helps improve graft take by creating a state of androgen excess, as testified in both humans and mice - an alleviation of immune conflict.
