Make Intravenous Vitamin C Available During Lockdown For Cancer Patients in NZ


Make Intravenous Vitamin C Available During Lockdown For Cancer Patients in NZ
The issue
Please can we get everyone to sign this petition, to help my Mum! My mum was diagnosed with Cancer over a year ago and she has been battling a road to recovery ever since! She has been working with many different professionals along the journey who have got her this far! Unfortunately Mum, (along with 1000s of others) has no access to her weekly Intravenous Vitamin C Infusion treatments.
It is extremely important to Cancer patients and also people with Low Immune systems all over NZ, to have this essential service available during this time.
People's lives depend on this service and at the moment, it is not classed as an Essential Service during the Covid-19 lockdown in New Zealand.
We need to make sure that patients still have access to remote consultations with their Vitamin C practitioners.
This is a time of uncertainty for all - so let's stick together as a Nation and help those that need it most, to maintain their health and lives across Aotearoa!
What Vitamin C Does:
Vitamin C is used every day by our bodies:
It is well-known as an immune booster.
As a strong anti-oxidant, vitamin C can counter the effects of free radicals and oxidative stress.
It has anti-inflammatory effects.
Production of collagen that makes up our skin, bones, and other tissues relies on vitamin C, so it is crucial for healing and staying well.
Vitamin C is a vital part of other key biochemical processes that affect our health and quality of life.
