Megascorbic Prophylaxis and Megascorbic Therapy - A New Orthomolecular Modality in Veterinary Medicine. Wendell 0.
Belfield, D.V.M. and Irwin Stone, P.C.A. Introduction The term “Orthomolecular” in the title above may be unfamiliar to some veterinarians. By definition it means “right molecule” and refers to a new branch of medicine developed by Linus Pauling (1968 and 1974). He defines it as follows: “Orthomolecular Medicine is the preservation of health and the treatment of disease by the provision of the optimum molecular constitution of the body, especially the optimum concentration of substances that are normally present in the human body and are required for life.” In this paper we apply the principles of orthomolecular medicine to veterinary usage and limit our clinical work to one phase - the use of ascorbate or ascorbic acid.
Ascorbate and Comparative Physiology Ascorbate is absolutely essential in the living process and all living forms either produce it endogenously, get it in their foods or they perish. Ascorbate has many functions in vertebrate physiology. A Subclinical Endemic. Wendell O. Belfield: Veterinarian. Wendell O.

Dogs and cats are treated with varying concentrations of normal body substances which are required for health, rather than with toxic drugs and chemical foreign to the body.

What it is, Benefits and Risks Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid or simply ascorbate, is a water-soluble vitamin and potent antioxidant.
Unlike humans, dogs and most other animals are able to synthesize vitamin C internally. Consequently vitamin C is not an essential nutrient for dogs. Of course that doesn't mean that vitamin C isn't essential for canine health; it is, but dogs have no dietary requirement for ascorbic acid. Table of Content Vitamin C Absorption and Metabolism in Dogs Dogs are able to synthesize vitamin C in the liver from glucose, which can come from dietary carbohydrates (monosaccharides) or be extracted from glycogen. Absorption of dietary vitamin C has not been studied in dogs due to the lack of a dietary requirement, but it is assumed that the absorption process is much like that of simple carbohydrates. Vitamin C travels through plasma bound to the protein albumin and is widely distributed throughout the tissues.

Canine hip dysplasia has puzzled researchers for the past 50 years. Although certain aspects of this degenerative, sometimes painful condition are now understood (or at least agree upon in theory), much must still be learned about helping afflicted dogs and preventing the increasing incidence of the disease. Originally, the only means at the breeder’s disposal was to look at the dog’s movement in order to judge whether the hips seemed sound. But many dogs with wretched movement never develop hip problems, and dogs with excellent movement can develop degenerative joint disease (DJD) of the hip joint. Hip dysplasia is one of the most over-diagnosed and misdiagnosed conditions.Hip dysplasia literally means an abnormality in the development of the hip joint. At present, the strongest link to contributing factors other than genetic predisposition appears to be to rapid growth and weight gain.
