Frederick Robert Klenner (October 22, 1907 – May 20, 1984) was an American medical researcher and doctor in general practice in Reidsville, North Carolina. From the 1940s on he experimented with the use of vitamin C megadosage as a therapy for a wide range of illnesses, most notably polio. He authored 28 research papers during his career. He was one of the originators of orthomolecular medicine, but his work remains largely unaddressed by established medicine.〔Robert Landwehr. ''(The Origin of the 42-Year Stonewall of Vitamin C )'', J Orthomolecular Med, 2002. Vol 6, No 2, pp 99-103〕 Klenner is the subject〔Saul AW. ''(Hidden in Plain Sight: The Pioneering Work of Frederick Robert Klenner, M.D. )'' J Orthomolecular Med, 2007. Vol 22, No 1, pp 31-38.〕 or mentioned or referenced in a number of orthomolecular medicine related papers and articles. A recent book broadly updating Klenner's cumulative vitamin C work is dedicated to him and he is profiled in ''Medical Mavericks''.〔Riordan HD. (1989) ''Medical Mavericks'', Bio-Communications Inc. ISBN 0-942333-09-8〕 Some of his work is presented in a free online book〔Injectable Vitamin C: Effective Treatment for Viral and Other Diseases http://www.injectablevitaminc.com/〕 about intravenous vitamin C. ==Life== Klenner was born in Johnstown, Pennsylvania on October 22, 1907, to Mary (née Bewak) and Frank Klenner, the youngest of their eight children. His parents had come to the United States from Austria as children. When Fred was born, Frank and Mary were living on a farm near Johnstown, although Frank kept working at Bethlehem Steel Corporation, where he had worked since a young man. In 1908, Fred's 16-year-old sister Gertrude died from respiratory problems caused or aggravated by smoke spewing from blast furnaces at Johnstown's steel mills. It was said that Fred was a smart child — some said, the smartest of all the Klenner children, sensitive and earnest. In his free time he enjoyed playing in an Austrian band and could play several instruments, including the cornet, violin, harpsicord, zither, and piano. Klenner attended St. Vincent College for two years and St. Francis College now Saint Francis University, Loretto, Pennsylvania, where in 1931 he received his B.S. and M.S. degrees in biology. He was graduated with honors and was awarded a teaching fellowship. He was also awarded the college medal for scholastic philosophy. He then took another teaching fellowship in chemistry at Catholic University, where he studied for his doctorate in physiology. In 1936, he was graduated from the Duke University School of Medicine. After three years of hospital training and his marriage to Annie Hill Sharp, sister of Susie Sharp,〔(lib.unc.edu )〕 he entered private medical practice in her hometown of Reidsville, North Carolina. He continued to work there all his life. In May 1946 in Reidsville, Dr. Klenner delivered the "Fultz Quadruplets", using his high vitamin C maternity regimen. Annie Mae Fultz, a deaf-mute woman married to Pete Fultz, a tenant farmer, gave birth to the quadruplet girls. They were the first recorded set of identical African-American quadruplets and the first quadruplets to survive in the Southern United States. Klenner later brokered a deal with the PET milk company, a Saint Louis dairy, which provided the girls with PET milk formula, food, medical care, a private nurse, and a farm when they reached adulthood—in exchange for the right to use their images in PET milk advertisements. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fred R.
