"I am searching for any survivors of Dr. Frederick Klenner's study from 1949. The study was entitled "The Treatment of Poliomyelitis and Other Virus Diseases with Vitamin C" Through my research I have discovered there were several young children who might be in their late 60s and others into their 90s. Dr. Klenner's study took place at a hospital in Reid, NC. Please if anyone was involved or knew anyone who was involved, or even knows where I may begin looking, please drop me a line. We only wish to you in the best light on TV. It is part of our nation's history and should be remembered.
