Look into the work of Dr. Paul Marik at the East Virginia Medical School. His protocol to deal with sepsis emphasized Vitamin C and other therapy elements rather than a rash of drugs. in a 2018 study, he was able to reduce the fatality rate of his group in deep sepsis to 20%, compared to the conventionally treated control group, which suffered a fatality rate of 80%. The conventional medical community doesn't want to know, so it is up to patients to act as their first line of self-defense and tell doctors to start thinking and learning new tricks, or get a new doctor.

@ghschirtzinger, thank you for bringing forward research into treating sepsis. Here is the link to Dr. Marik's study

- Hydrocortisone, Vitamin C, and Thiamine for the Treatment of Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock: A Retrospective Before-After Study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27940189/

It's important to note that this was an early phase study and tested on only 47 people. The treatment protocol is not vitamin C alone. As Dr. Marik and team concluded more study is needed.
"Conclusions: Our results suggest that the early use of intravenous vitamin C, together with corticosteroids and thiamine, are effective in preventing progressive organ dysfunction, including acute kidney injury, and in reducing the mortality of patients with severe sepsis and septic shock. Additional studies are required to confirm these preliminary findings."

To date, further studies have been inconclusive or not completed, like this one in Feb 2021:
- Effect of Vitamin C, Thiamine, and Hydrocortisone on Ventilator- and Vasopressor-Free Days in Patients With Sepsis https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2776688

Science continues to look for the best way to treat sepsis.
