It's actually not complicated. I think the most important concept is early treatment,

0:09.6

because as we said, sepsis is very time sensitive and you don't want to delay. So what we recommend

0:17.2

is that you start immediately in the ED emergency department. So if you think a patient is septic

0:23.2

and you're going to give them antibiotics, then I would start them on the protocol. And if it turns

0:29.2

out that they don't have sepsis, well you've lost nothing. But if you missed it, you missed that

0:35.0

window of opportunity. And I think that's really the message for doctors is that this is time

0:40.4

sensitive. You don't need to do a whole host of special tests. So what you need to do is treat

0:46.4

them early. Vitamin C is very simple to give. The pharmacy can prepare it very simply. So what

0:52.0

does it just do? Yes. So what you want to do is the vitamin C is the most important out of the

0:56.4

whole cocktail. And you want to start this early. So the doses 1.5 grams of vitamin C has to be given

1:04.3

intravenously in a little many bags, you know, infused over 20 minutes. They can start that in the

1:11.7

emergency department or they can start that immediately in IC. Is that something every hospital has

1:17.1

in its like, is that around? Like if I ask for vitamin C, the hospital has that? There's no reason

1:22.5

that a hospital shouldn't have a intravenous vitamin C. It used to be used for intravenous nutrition,

1:28.7

but now it's quite commonly used and there's no reason a hospital can't get hold of intravenous

1:34.5

vitamin C and have it on their formulary. And so they should have it available. They should have it

1:39.7

in the emergency department. So it's timely administration is really important. One of the

1:46.0

and I answered questions is that if treatment is delayed, you need a higher dose. And that question

1:53.2

I really count answer. We need to do more studies. But what I can tell you is that if it's,

1:58.4

you know, patients coming early and they treated early when they come to the emergency department,

2:03.5

1.5 grams every six hours is what works. And then we combine that with fire mean

2:09.3

200 milligrams intravenously every every 12 hours. And the fire mean I originally added it because
