==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 this country from Austria as children. When Fred was born, Frank and Mary were living on a farm near Johnstown, although his father Frank continued to work at Bethlehem Steel Corp. where he had worked since a young man. In 1908, his sister Gertrude died at the age of 16 from respiratory problems which were suspected of being caused by the smoke pollution in the skies from Johnstown's blast furnaces. It was said that he 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 [[Saint Francis University|St. Francis College now Saint Francis University]], [[Loretto, Pennsylvania]] where he received his B.S. and M.S. degrees in [[biology]] in 1931. He graduated with honours 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 [[The Catholic University of America|Catholic University]], where he studied for his doctorate in [[physiology]].
He graduated from [[Duke University]], School of Medicine in 1936. After three years of hospital training and his marriage to Annie Hill Sharp, sister of [[Susie Sharp]],<ref>[http://www.lib.unc.edu/mss/inv/htm/04898.html lib.unc.edu]{{dead link|date=January 2012}}</ref> he entered private medical practice in her hometown of [[Reidsville, North Carolina]]. He continued to work there all his life.
In 1946, in [[Reidsville, North Carolina]], he delivered the "Fultz Quadruplets",<ref>{{cite web|url=http://webcache.news-record.com/legacy/indepth/fultz/day1/day1.html |title=Fultz Quadruplets |publisher=Webcache.news-record.com |date=1946-05-23 |accessdate=2012-01-27}}</ref> the world's first recorded set of identical black [[quadruplets]] and the first quadruplets to survive in the [[Southern United States]]. He subsequently brokered a 'corporate adoption' by Pet Milk, a [[St. Louis, Missouri|Saint Louis]] dairy, which provided a foster home, foster care, living expenses, a {{convert|147|acre|km2|sing=on}} farm, clothes, medical and dental care through majority in return for promotional rights. All were born under Klenner's noteworthy high vitamin C maternity regimen for over 300 births.
==Vitamin C studies==
Klenner's main subspecialty was diseases of the chest, but he became interested in the use of very large doses of Vitamin C in the treatment of a wide range of illness. Many of his experiments were performed on himself. In 1948, he published his first paper on the use of large doses of Vitamin C in the treatment of virus diseases.
In 1949 Klenner published in and presented a paper to the [[American Medical Association]] detailing the complete cure of 60 out of 60 of his patients with polio using intravenous sodium ascorbate injection<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.seanet.com/~alexs/ascorbate/194x/klenner-fr-southern_med_surg-1949-v111-n7-p209.htm |title=Klenner, Frederick Robert, MD.

He described giving up to 300,000 milligrams (mg) per day of neutral pH sodium ascorbate. Klenner published 27 medical papers, most about vitamin C applications for over 30 diseases, two about treatment of severe neuropathies including [[multiple sclerosis]] using aggressive supplementation.<ref>Klenner F. (1973) Response of peripheral and central nerve pathology to mega-doses of the vitamin B complex and other metabolites. Journal of Applied Nutrition pp16-40.</ref> He wrote a 28th paper ca 1980, an unpublished update about MS treatment. It was posthumously summarized by [[Lendon Smith]] in the ''Clinical Guide to the Use of Vitamin C''.
His maxim: the patient should ''"get large doses of vitamin C in all pathological conditions while the physician ponders the diagnosis."''
He inspired [[Linus Pauling]] and [[Irwin Stone]] to expand the research on the wider benefits of Vitamin C. In the foreword of the ''Clinical Guide'', Linus Pauling wrote: ''"The early papers by Dr. Fred R. Klenner provide much information about the use of large doses of Vitamin C in preventing and treating many diseases.
