"Researchers at St. Michael's Hospital have put forward a new theory as to what causes sepsis, an often fatal condition that occurs when infection spreads throughout the body.
Leaking blood vessels may actually be a cause of sepsis, rather than a symptom as previously thought, said Dr. Warren Lee.
Sepsis kills about 1,400 people a day worldwide and is the second-leading cause of death in intensive care units in Canada. Despite intense research, the death rate remains high, between 30 and 50 per cent. Treatments largely consist of surgical removal or drainage of the infected site, antibiotics and supportive care."

Anyone want to take a bet that the leaking blood vessels are caused by lack of vitamin C and the cure is large doses of vitamin C? It seems to me that the scientists are awfully slow to get this. A previous post already demonstrates that large vitamin C doses cures sepsis. How many more people under medical care will die of sepsis before the "great medical minds" come around?
