Vitamin C & Hydrogen Molecules Save Autoimmune Disease Patient; Taiwan's Results Published in International Journal
Tri-Service General Hospital announced a breakthrough treatment combining Vitamin C and hydrogen molecules for a 72-year-old patient suffering from systemic lupus erythematosus and other autoimmune diseases. The therapy stabilized inflammation and reduced fatigue, with the successful results published in the international journal "In Vivo".

(CNA Reporter Chen Chieh-ling, Taipei, 22nd) A 72-year-old patient surnamed Chan suffers from diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus. After receiving integrated therapy of Vitamin C and hydrogen molecules, her inflammation indicators stabilized, lung lesions stopped worsening, and chronic fatigue improved. The results were published last year in the international journal "In Vivo."
"My medical records are so thick they could almost be written into a book." Patient Chan attended a press conference held by the Tri-Service General Hospital today. She recalled her lifelong battle with illness, having undergone 22 major and minor surgeries. She was paralyzed for half a year at age 3 due to spinal issues, recovered after treatment, and learned to walk again. At 30, her old illness relapsed, leading to 3 major spinal surgeries and a long rehabilitation.
"Others only need to learn once; I've learned to walk 5 times in my life." Patient Chan faced the challenge of multiple overlapping autoimmune diseases. She was diagnosed with Sjögren's syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus, and complicated pulmonary fibrosis. Long-term use of steroids caused osteoporosis and repeated infections, her respiratory function continued to deteriorate, and she experienced multiple life-and-death situations, including two breast cancer surgeries, a severe car accident, and cellulitis.
Fortunately, patient Chan started receiving the integrated therapy of Vitamin C and hydrogen molecules in 2021. Research shows this therapy can regulate T-cell and B-cell subsets, bringing them closer to healthy control group levels. The patient's fatigue level significantly decreased by 64%; a heart age prediction conducted at age 69 showed her heart age was 58.3 years, indicating an improvement in overall physiological status.
The immune system is like an army inside the body, responsible for fighting foreign pathogens. In some patients, this system "misidentifies the enemy" and turns around to attack the body's own tissues, damaging vital organs and the gut microbiome, triggering diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus erythematosus, and Sjögren's syndrome, silently damaging vital organs such as the heart, lungs, and kidneys.
Liu Feng-cheng, Director of the Division of Rheumatology, Immunology, and Allergy at the Department of Internal Medicine, Tri-Service General Hospital, stated at the press conference today that in the field of autoimmune disease treatment, there has long been a clinical dilemma of "long trial periods and unpredictable efficacy." Traditional treatments often require a 3 to 6-month trial period, and about 30% of patients respond poorly to the drugs. During this long wait, the condition may continue to worsen, putting immense physical and mental pressure on patients and their families.
The Tri-Service General Hospital team proposed the integrated therapy of "Vitamin C combined with hydrogen molecules." Liu Feng-cheng pointed out that free radicals are like constantly darting "sparks" in the body, destroying cells and exacerbating inflammation, unbalancing the immune system. Vitamin C is a powerful natural antioxidant that can scavenge free radicals and promote the function of regulatory T cells, helping the immune system maintain order and avoid mistakenly injuring its own tissues.
Hydrogen molecules have higher selectivity, accurately scavenging the most toxic free radicals without affecting normal cells. Liu Feng-cheng stated that combining the two forms a comprehensive and precise antioxidant and immunomodulatory strategy. Furthermore, integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) and innovative medical technology creates an AI immune navigation and hydrogen molecule repair system, bringing a breakthrough to precision medicine.
