I read this with interest. First because I am a fan of polar exploration stories, but second because I believe I suffered from scurvy myself. I had been on a keto/carnivore diet for years when I started to have painful gums and loose teeth, along with dramatically reduced white blood cell count.

I started taking 2,000 mg of vitamin C daily. WBC count bounced back and, after a tooth extraction, pain is gone.
