Hi, Susan, 

Intravenous ascorbate is vitamin C in the form of sodium
ascorbate administrated intravenously (directly into the
animal's veins) at high doses in veterinary medicine.  It is
typically mixed with sodium chloride and administered over
the course of a few hours, depending on how much vitamin C
the cat will be receiving. 

I have used it with my FeLV cat Linus for his lymphoma and
was able to put him into remission for going on two years
now when the diagnosing vet had told me he had about 4-6
weeks to live in early 2008.  We administered it over the
course of a year (2x a week for three months), six months
off, then 2x a week for three more months).  We did not
reverse his FeLV with the low dose he was getting (1,000 mg
per pound of body weight).  However, I am going to be trying
this therapy more intensively for the next young FeLV that
comes into my care, for I truly believe that if I can
administer the ascorbate in the early stages of the disease
before it has a chance to progress too far the ascorbate
will reverse it.  For information on why and how intravenous
vitamin C kills these viruses, see Dr. Fred Klenner's paper,
Clinical Guide to the Use of Vitamin C, reprinted in its
entirety at this link:
http://www.seanet.com/~alexs/ascorbate/198x/smith-lh-clinica
l_guide_1988.htm

The writings of retired veterinarian Dr. Wendell Belfield
also cover many conditions that he used vitamin C for as far
back as the 1960s.  Tragically, few vets paid attention to
this paper and the profound evidence of how well this
therapy works in vet medicine.  Dr. Belfield's paper is
here:

_assn_prev_med-1978-v2-n3-p10.htm

The protocol would be rather intensive for a cat with
advanced FeLV but if the cat is early into the disease I
believe that administration of up to 2,000 mg per pound of
body weight for a number of consecutive days (perhaps 10-11)
would kill the virus based on Dr. Klenner's explanation.  I
have seen it kill FIP in a young kitten when administered
for 11 consecutive days at nearly 2,000 mg per pound.  

If you intend to try this for your cat, you should contact
me and let me know so that I can give you more specific
directions or give your vet the name of my vet.  Again,
though, I have not yet tried to reverse FeLV in a cat who
has had it for years and am not sure if it is even possible.
A lot of it would depend if the virus has progressed to the
stage that it is already in the cat's bone marrow.  Still,
being the kind of person I am, I will probably still try
that just to satisfy my own interest and, of course, help
others to know whether it works.  Having just lost three
companion animals I have just been so overwhelmed with
veterinary expenses that my funds are too low to consider it
right now.  But as sure as the sun rises in the east, I
will.  :)  

FYI, I spoke with a nurse in Pennsylvania this week and she
said that there are definitely vets in Pennsylvania who are
doing this treatment on animals.  It is completely safe and
nontoxic for the animal.  

Regarding the Mega-C Plus, it is an excellent supplement and
completely safe for the cat.  It was formulated by Dr.
Belfield himself.  People are misinformed about vitamin C in
general, hence the reason I am getting such a barrage of
backlash over posting this information.  I believe they are
just scared and of course, skeptical based on their
misinformation.
