Vitamin C Protocol

“There is no toxin Vitamin C does not counter. I have not found any flu virus for which vitamin C does not exert a virucidal effect."   Doctor Thomas Levy MD, JD

IMO get at least 3 Grams of the Vitamin C Complex Components a day when well; plus tens of Grams of Ascorbate when sick; Hundreds of IV Grams of Ascorbate when Seriously Sick.

"As a retired physician, I can honestly say that unless you are in a serious accident, Your best chance of living to a ripe old age is to avoid doctors and hospitals and learn nutrition, herbal medicine and other forms of natural medicine [i.e. PREVENTION]. Almost all drugs are toxic and are designed only to treat symptoms and not to cure anyone. Most surgery is unnecessary. In short, our mainstream medical system is hopelessly inept and/or corrupt. the treatment of cancer and degenerative disease is a national scandal. The sooner you learn this, the better off you will be."   Doctor Allan Greenberg on 12/24/2002

"Today's medical "industry" does not want any interference with their income stream and have no incentive to institute preventive programs. The public needs to know if they don't take personal responsibility for their health care there may not be no Medicare dollars available to cover their sick care."   William Faloon Life Extension, Note YOU MUST provide your preventive care with YOUR dollars.

Vitamin C is Preventative Medicine at its finest. You spend a few bucks to assure this essential substance in your body. You rarely visit the "doctor"; you do not take toxic "drugs";  you do not visit the "hospital; you live long and prosper. Save bucks; save your health and life; prevent problems; rarely "treat" problems.

IMO Susceptibility for Measles, Pertussis and much other "Disease" Damage may be Expressions of Low body Vitamin C Levels

When you look at  Figure 3 Measles and Figure 9 Pertussis appear to be "Cured" by Vitamin C it appears susceptibility for serious complications from measles and pertussis is nothing more than a vitamin C deficiency. Scurvy is an indicator of very low vitamin C levels. Other common "diseases" also may be nothing more than a vitamin C deficiency. Doctor Levy says there is no infection Vitamin C does not help. IMO Vitamin C in massive amounts, many tens of GRAMS, perhaps by IV administration, will provide a powerful adjunct treatment to ANY DISEASE.

Note here we see vitamin C, the preventer of scurvy, may be preventing serious measles complications. IMO vitamin C, vitamin D and vitamin A the anti-infective vitamins, may prevent MOST serious complications of MANY "childhood diseases" and thus eliminate ALL "need" for "vaccinations". 

"Interestingly, the reason why infantile scurvy was predominant among wealthy families is that poor families could not afford pasteurized milk. They had to rely on breast feeding. Pasteurization (heating) destroys the vitamin C naturally contained in cow’s milk. Scurvy killed thousands of infants before vitamin C was discovered."   How Obvious Cures Are Overlooked  Note here we see once again the absolute importance of BREAST FEEDING your babies. You are delivering large amounts of the absolutely critical vitamin C to your offspring, vitamin C they are probably not getting without breast feeding

Don’t be afraid of Sunshine, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin D or Cholesterol; learn their properties and safely and freely use these powerful health tools

“We now know that vitamins A and D also cooperate together to regulate the production of certain vitamin K-dependent proteins. Once vitamin K activates these proteins, they help mineralize bones and teeth, support adequate growth, and protect arteries and other soft tissues from abnormal calcification, and protect against cell death.”   Nutritional Adjuncts to the Fat-Soluble Vitamins A, D, and K

Did 1918 Spanish Flu Deaths Result From Aspirin-Induced Vitamin C Deficiency?

"In 1918 those treated in the US by Osteopathic physicians had a mortality rate that was 20 times less than those treated by regular physicians. The standard treatment used by allopathic physicians was ASPIRIN to reverse fever and COUGH SUPRESSANTS to stop coughing. A fever and a cough are defenses that help us cope with invading agents. Hobbling these defenses meant that those with the flu had less ability to cope and died at a rate 20 times greater than those who avoided aspirin and other drugs."   Doctor Harold Magoun, JAOA 2004, Note in 1918 "vaccinations" NOT a virus are what often got you sick in the first place

"Ascorbate deficiency is an important underlying factor and that all mechanisms known today leading to CVD can be triggered by ascorbate deficiency. The different mechanisms of human CVD known today therefore all compensate for impaired integrity and stability of the vascular wall caused by chronically low dietary ascorbate intake. If these mechanisms overshoot, heart attack, stroke and other forms of CVD develop. "  Doctor Matthias Rath, Note ascorbate is vitamin C in it's complete form as found in nature, ascorbic acid is a component of ascorbate

“Doctor Szent-Georgi the discoverer of vitamin C came to understand after many years that ascorbic acid, rutin, and the other factors found in the Vitamin C Complex Components, were synergists: co-factors which together sparked the functional interdependence of biologically related nutrient factors. Ascorbic acid is just the antioxidant outer shell - the protector of all these other synergists so that they will be able to perform their individual functions.”  Doctor Tim O'Shea

“Most sources equate vitamin C with ascorbic acid, as though they were the same thing. They're not. Ascorbic acid is an isolate, a fraction, a distillate of naturally occurring vitamin C. In addition to ascorbic acid, vitamin C must include rutin, bioflavonoids, Factor K, Factor J, Factor P, Tyrosinase, Ascorbinogen, and other components”  Doctor Tim O'Shea   Note ascorbate can provide you a powerful tool but you must realize you also need ALL the other components of the Vitamin C Complex Components. A good way to do this is to eat a COMPLETE lemon along with all those grams of ascorbate. I take a LOT, Rutin, Bioflavonoids, Quercetin, L-Tyrosine, hesperidin, bromelain and WHOLE Lemon, of the Vitamin C Complex DAILY as my Vitamin C supplement.

“Vitamins and minerals are not functionally separable. They make each other work. Example: vitamin D is necessary for the body to absorb calcium.   Copper is necessary for vitamin C activity. And so on. Mineral deficiencies can cause vitamin deficiencies, and vice versa. Epidemic mineral deficiency in America is a well-documented result of systematic soil depletion. So that is the other prime difference between whole food vitamins and synthetics: whole food vitamins contain within them many essential trace minerals necessary for their synergistic operation. Synthetic vitamins contain no trace minerals, relying on, and depleting, the bodies own mineral reserves.”  Doctor Tim O'Shea

“Whole food vitamin C as found in potatoes, onions, and citrus fruits is able to quickly cure any case of scurvy. By contrast, the fractionated chemical ascorbic acid has been shown to be insufficient in resolving a scurvy condition, simply because it does not act as a nutrient.” Lancet 1842, Note ascorbic acid is NOT ascorbate or vitamin C it is a COMPONENT of the Vitamin C Complex Components

“Cardiovascular Disease is essentially unknown in animals producing their own vitamin C at a daily rate of several grams.” Doctor Matthias Rath

 “Almost all the prescription drugs currently taken by millions of people lead to a gradual depletion of vitamins and other essential cellular nutrients in the body. Drugs are generally synthetic, nonnatural substances that we absorb in our bodies. Our bodies recognize these synthetic drugs as “toxic,” just like any other non-natural substance. Thus, all synthetic drugs have to be “detoxified” by the liver in order to eliminate them from our bodies. This detoxification process requires magnesium and vitamin C and other cellular nutrients as cofactors. Many of these essential nutrients are used up in biological (enzymatic) reactions during this detoxification process. One of the most common ways for eliminating drugs from our bodies is called hydroxylation.” The strongest “hydroxylating agent” in our bodies is vitamin C, which is literally destroyed during this detoxification process. Thus, long-term use of many synthetic prescription drugs leads to chronic vitamin depletion in the body, a form of early scurvy and the onset of cardiovascular disease.” Doctor Matthias Rath

 “Monkeys fed a very high fat diet and low levels of antioxidants vitamins C and E had severe arterial blockage. When these same monkeys had vitamin E added to their diet their arterial blockage dropped by one third. Adding some vitamin C along with the vitamin E to their diet for a couple of years reversed their arterial blockage by an additional 8 to 33 percent.”  Anthony J. Verlangieri Ph, D. University of Mississippi Atherosclerosis Research Center

“In patients given 2000 mg of vitamin C two hours later Ultrasound clearly showed dilation of an artery in the arm had improved by 50% in most patients and even more in patients with the worst internal vascular dysfunction.” Doctor Balz Frei et al, Boston University

 “In a study of elderly people those who ate 60 mg of vitamin C daily were twice as likely to have high blood pressure as those who ate 240 mg. There is something about not eating enough vitamin C that raises blood pressure.” Paul F. Jacques Researcher USDA

Most vitamin C is LOST in "processing". Eat RAW

 “In post angioplasty patients who received 500 mg of vitamin C daily after their operation in four months only 24% had reclosed arteries as opposed to 43% who did not get the vitamin C. Only 12% of those who took the vitamin C needed another operation compared to 29% who did not receive vitamin C.” Japanese Study   Note just imagine what 3 Grams could do!

“The main reason for high blood cholesterol is excessive metabolism of oxygen and sugar in our blood stream due to the polluted environment, and a diet high in refined carbohydrate, trans-fat, and stressful lifestyle. This leads to free radical generation that in turn damages the endothelial wall of the blood vessel. The body has an intrinsic repair mechanism to overcome the damage, but it needs the proper nutrients to get the job done. Some nutrients are made internally, while others need to be supplied externally. In the case of blood vessel repair, the key is ascorbic acid. It cannot be made endogenously and has to be taken in externally from food sources.” Doctor Michael Lam MD

“When our bodies lack Vitamin C, it causes proline to be lost in the urine as there is a net loss of collagen building in the body. Like lysine, proline has a high affinity for Lp(a) and therefore able to dissolve plaque. It is said to be even stronger than lysine in this action. It not only prevents further build-up of atherosclerotic deposits, it also helps to release already deposited fat globules from the blood vessel walls into the blood stream.”  Doctor Michael Lam MD, Note yet another reason to get your daily at least 3 grams of vitamin C; this dissolving of arterial plaque cannot proceed until your vitamin C levels are adequate enough to allow it

 “There is a significant link between vitamin C and HBP.” Taddei et al

 “People with low levels of vitamin C had higher levels of HBP.” Salonen et al

 “Among people with HBP a daily dose of 1000 mg of vitamin C reduced BP about 7%.” USDA

 “In an epidemiological study of 87,000 female nurses those that got more than 200 IU of vitamin E a day saw their risk of cardiovascular disease drop by 34%. High intakes of beta carotene dropped their risk 22%. High vitamin C intake dropped their risk 20%. Those who got vitamin E, vitamin C and beta carotene saw their risk drop 50%.” Harvard Nurses Study

 “Heart disease patients were given either 1000 mg or 2000 mg of vitamin C a day to access the effects of vitamin C on the breakdown of fibrinogen. At 1000 mg there was no effect. At 2000 mg a day of vitamin C however there was a 27% decrease in the platelet-aggregation index, a 12% reduction in cholesterol and a 45% increase in fibrinolytic activity.” Bordia 

 “If benign materials such as vitamin C are available to repair the injured artery the need for Lp(a) is moot. Without adequate amounts of vitamin C Lp(a) becomes indispensable.”  Doctor Matthias Rath   Note Lp(a) is widely recognized as contributing to arterial plaque, how can "medicine" not see the Lp(a) is acting in the place of the missing vitamin C?

 “The dose of vitamin C necessary to increase the vitamin C content of the eye lens is equal to or greater than 1000 mg.” Ringvold et al

 “Vitamins K and C used together have shown considerable clinical efficacy when used to treat nausea and vomiting occurring during pregnancy. In a study 91% of patients showed complete remission within 72 hours.” Merkel

 “Vitamin C has been shown to protect the airways from inhaled oxidants.” Ghio et al

“On the other hand, vitamin C is water-soluble and fights free radicals in the plasma. Vitamin C and E help regenerate each other as well. Vitamin C is especially vital in any detoxification programs, as the body needs it for energy to process and eliminate wastes. High doses of vitamin C can have a laxative effect as it attracts water. Vitamin C can be taken until the bowel tolerance level (BTL) is achieved. The BTL varies from one person to another. Some people may reach a tolerance level at four to five grams (4,000-5,000 mg) while others only reach tolerance at 10 to15 grams (10,000-15,000 mg). Cancer patients can easily consume 20 to 30 grams (20,000-30,000 mg) of vitamin C to reach tolerance level, as they require more vitamin C than most people do.” Doctor Michael Lam MD, Note bowel tolerance is greatly affected by NEED when you are seriously sick it may increase 500% or more

“If we do not have sufficient amounts of Vitamin C to effect a constant intracellular concentration, then oxidized LDL and Lp(a) will further attract other oxidized lipids, thus resulting in plaque formation over time. To prevent this, we must flood our bodies with an abundant supply of Vitamin C and E.” Doctor Michael Lam MD

“It is thought the negative effects of sugar result from the elevation of insulin levels and the competition with vitamin C for metabolism transport sites.” Mann

 “High levels of vitamin C can protect levels of vitamin E in tissue and may contribute to the immune-enhancement of vitamin E.”  Niki

“Vitamin C is known to contribute to the development of antibodies and the neutralization of toxins in the building of natural immunity to infectious diseases. There is a very potent chemotherapeutic action of ascorbic acid when given in massive repeated doses, 500 to 1,000 mg (hourly), preferably intravenously or intramuscularly. When thus administered the effect in acute infectious processes is favorably comparable to that of the sulfonamides or the mycelial antibiotics, but with the great advantage of complete freedom from toxic or allergic reactions."  Doctor William J. McCormick 1955

“If you want to supplement your vitamin C through a natural food source, two of the best alternatives are rose hips and orange peels. A tablespoon of rose hips provides as much vitamin C as an orange. If you save your orange peels, slice them up, and dehydrate them. You have made instant, chewable vitamin C. If you grind them up after dehydration, you can use the powdered peel in smoothies or in other foods. My favorite is orange flavored waffles. For more information on strengthening the immune system, see the first source link below. Check out Homemade Vitamin C and Make Your Own Homemade Nutrition Powder.”    Vitamin C Food Sources

“Scurvy must have killed many, many people during the ice ages when vitamin C was almost impossible to obtain in quantities sufficient for health. For the survival of the species it is better to die directly or indirectly of arterial plaque after reproducing than to die of scurvy before we have reproduced. If Doctors Rath and Pauling’s theory is correct they lead the way to cure the most prolific killer in North America for a few pennies of ascorbate a day.” Udo Erasmus PhD commenting on the work of Doctors Matthias Rath and Linus Pauling, Note we are still in the ice ages

"Vitamin C is capable of being both an antioxidant and pro-oxidant, depending on what the body needs. This mechanism allows it to serve a variety of functions in the body. Vitamin C sequesters free radicals in the body. It is replenished by antioxidant enzymes, and is often used as a reference drug in antioxidant research. Vitamin C’s structure allows it to act on neurology and depression, as well as interact with the pancreas and modulate cortisol. Its antioxidant properties mean vitamin C provides neuroprotective effects and benefits for blood flow. By protecting the testes from oxidative stress, vitamin C can also preserve testosterone levels."   Vitamin C

Excellent if Pricey Form of Vitamin C

Why Animals don’t get Heart Disease and Humans do

“Cardiovascular Disease is essentially unknown in animals producing their own vitamin C at a daily rate of several grams.” Doctor Matthias Rath

 “Vitamin C is the most important antioxidant in our bodies, and increased intake of vitamin C plays the key role in preventing and reversing atherosclerosis, heart attacks and strokes.” Doctor Linus Pauling three time Nobel Prize winner, Note the politicians withheld his third prize

 “Vitamin C is among the strongest and most versatile of the antioxidants. It quenches free radicals and also recharges other antioxidants including vitamin E and glutathione. Vitamin C protects the B vitamins from oxidative damage.” Udo Erasmus PhD

 “A widely publicized study showed that men who took 800 mg of vitamin C a day lived about 6 years longer than those who took the RDA of 60 mg a day.” Life Extension

“The secret behind Nature’s allergy remedy lies in three natural compounds: bromelain, quercetin, and vitamin C. Bromelain comes from the roots of the pineapple tree. Quercetin is plentiful in all kinds of plants, including apples, berries, broccoli, squash, and some nuts and seeds. And of course many fruits and vegetables contain vitamin C. Even though there have been plenty of studies proving their effectiveness, this “triple threat” has slipped under modern medicine’s radar screen. I’ve been using them with great success in my practice for years. What’s more, vitamin C and quercetin reinforce each other. Vitamin C makes quercetin last longer, and quercetin prevents vitamin C from breaking down.”  Doctor Robert J Rowen MD

 “Doctor Robert Cathcart demonstrated that high doses of vitamin C, 40 to 100 grams, orally or intravenously were able to greatly diminish acute viral hepatitis in two to four days. He showed clearing of jaundice within six days.” Murray & Pizzorno, Note when sick your body will absorb more oral vitamin C than when well

“In asthma and allergy settings, vitamin C has been proven effective to combat allergies. A dosage of 1000mg or more has some anti-histaminic effect, but the Vitamin C does much more than that. Because vitamin C is water soluble, its action is slower. A few weeks may be needed to achieve the adequate blood level. In the case of asthma, many studies have shown that a daily vitamin C dosage of 1000-2000mg can improve lung function and reduce the chances of asthmatic attacks. In one study, a daily dose of 2 grams has been shown to reduce asthma. Always try to include bioflavonoids when taking vitamin C, especially in high doses.” Doctor Michael Lam MD

"High doses of vitamins are deliberately not used. Writes Robert F. Cathcart III, M.D.: "I have been consulted by many researchers who proposed bold studies of the effects of massive doses of ascorbate (vitamin C). Every time the university center, the ethics committee, or the pharmacy committee deny permission for the use of massive doses of ascorbate and render the study almost useless. Seasoned researchers depending upon government grants do not even try to study adequate doses." Orthomolecular Medicine News Service, February 2, 2009

"Effective doses are high doses, often hundreds of times more than the US Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) or Daily Reference Intake (DRI). Abram Hoffer, M.D., Ph.D., comments: "Drs. Wilfrid Shute and Evan Shute recommended doses from 400 IU to 8,000 IU of vitamin E daily. The usual dose range was 800 to 1600 IU but they report that they had given 8,000 IU without seeing any toxicity." The Shutes successfully treated over 35,000 patients with vitamin E." Orthomolecular Medicine News Service, February 2, 2009

"The most cost effective of all the nutrients or herbs that you can take to enhance the immune system is high doses of vitamin C and garlic. Plan to dramatically increase the dose when you feel particularly stressed, or fear you are coming down with something."  Doctor Garry Gordon

"Both systolic and diastolic blood pressure declined significantly as the vitamin C level rose." Block et al

"When topically applied vitamin C provides a skin-rejuvenating effect by improving collagen synthesis in the skin that slows down with aging as well as limiting skin damage from free radicals. Topical vitamin C is one of the most effective ways to boost collagen synthesis and slow it's degradation. Applying vitamin C to the skin is 20 times more effective than oral ingestion." Life Extension, Note please continue to get your at least 3 grams/day orally also!

"Supplementing with vitamin C reduces C-reactive protein a marker of inflammation linked with an increased risk of CVD." UCB

"I believe that learning about the risks and benefits of aggressive high-dose IV vitamin C treatment may save lots of lives, since such treatment combines at least two vital functions at once. It can lower heavy metal levels while also lowering the total body burden of pathogens and tumor cells." Doctor Gary Gordon MD

"Children with moderately persistent bronchial asthma may get benefit from their diet supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids, zinc and vitamin C," Mohammed Al Biltagi et al, Tanta University in Egypt. The study adds to a growing body of science linking fish consumption and fruit and vegetable intakes to a reduction in the risk of asthma, or improvements in the symptoms associated with the condition."  Children with Asthma 

"Researchers looked at a large group of older men and women, both smokers and non smokers. They found clear evidence that higher vitamin C intake led to stronger bones. But when the researchers adjusted for potassium intake, the benefits were lost. This means that potassium could account for the improvement. This raises a significant question. Was the benefit from just dietary vitamin C or what comes with dietary vitamin C? The authors said that you can't separate the vitamin C from the other constituents of fruit and veggies (like potassium) and get the same results. So there's obviously a synergistic effect."   Doctor Robert Rowen MD, Note get the complete Vitamin C Complex Components

"Our study analyzed the effect of sustained exposure to a vitamin C derivative, ascorbic acid 2-phosphate, in human dermal fibroblasts. We investigated which genes are activated by vitamin C in these cells, which are responsible for skin regeneration. The results demonstrated that vitamin C may improve wound healing by stimulating quiescent fibroblasts to divide and by promoting their migration into the wounded area. Vitamin C could also protect the skin by increasing the capacity of fibroblasts to repair potentially mutagenic DNA lesions." Doctor Tiago Duarte et al, University of Leicester

"Aspirin depletes the body of vitamin C. Aspirin is known as one of the most powerful drugs at depleting vitamin C in normally healthy individuals."      [Journal Clinical Pharmacology 1973; 13: 480]

"There is incontrovertible evidence that a shortage of vitamin C, emanating from poor diet, smoking, overuse of alcohol, aspirin, or vitamin-depleting drugs (the very drugs they treat flu patients with – steroids, antibiotics, etc.), is likely the primary cause of flu-related mortality.”  Bill Sardi Health Researcher, Note dehydration and low vitamin D and selenium  levels can do you in also

"The descriptions of flu-related, aspirin-induced lung disease by Doctor Starko are gripping. She cites records of doctors describing aspirin lung as looking like "the lungs of the drowned." There were small hemorrhages in the lungs which appeared "dark and red and wet, dripping wet."  Bill Sardi Health Researcher, Note aspirin drastically eliminates vitamin C from your body. Please read this insightful article  the knowledge will serve you well during our political pandemic

“A Taiwan study on 43 subjects with high lipid levels found that just two kiwis per day could significantly reverse lipid problems. HDL increased, as did vitamin C and vitamin E levels. What's more, their LDL dropped as well. This study confirms a Norwegian study done in 2004. In that trial, two to three kiwis per day dropped triglyceride levels by 15%. They also reduced platelet aggregation by 15%. Platelet aggregation places you at a higher risk of heart attacks and blood clots.”   Doctor Robert Rowen MD, Note kiwis are  high in vitamin C each containing about 90 mg

"Vitamin C – This powerful antioxidant helps your cells and DNA live longer by preventing telomere shortening. It does this by neutralizing harmful free radicals that can cause abnormalities in your DNA and genetic code.”   Doctor Al Sears MD

"Evidence that subsequent all-cause mortality may be predicted by vitamin C intakes and/or status has been obtained in several previous studies, and similarly for carotene and selenium.”    Life Extension, Note you MUST assure ingestion of LARGE amounts of vitamin C, carotene and selenium

“Most people know potato skins are healthy, but few are aware of the reason why. It’s because the skin is a real nutritional powerhouse. Just one fist-sized potato skin provides half your daily ­recommended intake of soluble fibre, potassium, iron, phos­phorous zinc and vitamin C. ‘Pound for pound, potatoes ­contain more vitamin C than oranges, so are perfect for anyone looking to ward off colds.”   Eating fruit and vegetable peel could combat cancer

How Doctors Use (Or Should Use) Vitamin Therapy

Vitamin C is your body’s prime ingested water-soluble antioxidant

"Vitamin C used to treat scurvy and other deficiency conditions is more effective when given as a natural food concentrate which includes minerals, rutin and other analogs."   Sally Fallon

 Without Vitamin C you will slowly bleed to death. Vitamin C is a strong vasodilator, relaxing your arteries to promote normal BP (See HBP Protocol) and reduce cardiovascular disease (See Cardiovascular Disease Protocol). Vitamin C has an important role in recharging, supplying an electron,  the other antioxidants such as vitamin E. Vitamin C is found in most fresh foods including meats. Heat destroys Vitamin C, so eating raw fresh foods will provide the most.

Please note and understand ascorbic acid is NOT vitamin C.

“While one study suggests that high doses of supplemental vitamin C makes osteoarthritis, a type of degenerative arthritis that occurs with aging, worse in laboratory animals, another indicates that vitamin C-rich foods, such as lemons and limes, provide humans with protection against inflammatory polyarthritis, a form of rheumatoid arthritis involving two or more joints. The findings, presented in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases were drawn from a study of more than 20,000 subjects who kept diet diaries and were arthritis-free when the study began, and focused on subjects who developed inflammatory polyarthritis and similar subjects who remained arthritis-free during the follow-up period. Subjects who consumed the lowest amounts of vitamin C-rich foods were more than three times more likely to develop arthritis than those who consumed the highest amounts.”   Note this shows "supplemental vitamin C" is NOT usually vitamin C but ascorbic acid and that FOODS contain the whole Vitamin C Complex Components

Ascorbic acid is but one component of ascorbate or vitamin C. The common reference to vitamin C usually means ascorbic acid. We know better.

Vitamin C Plays Many Roles

"Tumours with low vitamin C levels had more of a protein called HIF-1 which allows them to thrive in conditions of stress. The findings are significant as they show, for the first time, a direct relationship between HIF-1 and vitamin C levels in tumours and suggest it would be beneficial for people with cancer cells to have more vitamin C."    Professor Margreet Vissers   Vitamin C can curb cancer growth, say New Zealand researchers

Three of the most important are as an antioxidant directly and indirectly when recharging other antioxidants, as a key component of your immune system to prevent and fight disease and as a critical component of collagen production. to include arteries, cartridge, joint tissue and other connective tissue.

 Don’t live with Scurvy

"Except for humans and primates, all other animals have the three enzymes in the liver which can synthesize vitamin C from glucose (a simple sugar). One major exception is the guinea pig, which is really a rodent and not a pig,  The guinea pig, for some unexplained reason, shares with humans the identical GLO genetic mutation and also lacks the GLO enzyme just like we do.  This makes the guinea pig an ideal experimental model for human diseases.  By the way, although animals that make vitamin C never get heart disease, the guinea pig which lacks the ability to synthesize vitamin C, also gets heart disease."   Doctor Jeffery Dach MD, Note this simple fact is the beginning to understanding how to prevent and cure CVD. Doctor Dach explains it all in this excellent article.

"Consequently, the lack of vitamin C results in the formation of non-functional collagen in blood vessels and bones, which accounts for most of the severe bone and blood vessel related symptoms. The variety of scurvy symptoms beyond those stemming from collagen defects occur because vitamin C is also a co-substrate for multiple enzymes involved in biosynthesis, including the synthesis of dopamine, an important neurotransmitter, and carnitine which helps mitochondria keep in pace with the demand for energy production. Lack of these two compounds helps explain the neurological dysfunction and lassitude symptoms of scurvy."    What is vitamin C?

“Roughly 23% of Americans have vitamin C depletion, causing their immune systems to not function properly.44 Studies show that doses of vitamin C at 1,000 mg per day can effectively restore function to myriad components of the immune system.  New studies confirm that vitamin C supplementation at 1,000 mg per day shortens the duration and mitigates the severity of colds, while also preventing colds from developing, especially in those with low vitamin C levels.”   The Link Between Vitamin C And Optimal Immunity

“All major immune system cell lines function at their peak with ample vitamin C supplies. With inadequate intake or plasma levels, those cells are less able to detect, track, and kill invading organisms or precancerous cells. That means that vitamin C depletion can leave one vulnerable to dangerous infections. New studies are helping to confirm that vitamin C supplementation can reduce duration and severity of the most prevalent respiratory infection, the common cold, and makes it less likely one will catch a cold in the first place. Given the health risks associated with adults who develop pneumonia after a cold, prevention with adequate vitamin C (1,000 mg and higher daily doses) looks more promising. This dose, greater than what can fit into most multi-nutrient formulas, will assure you are obtaining sufficient vitamin C to emulate studies documenting improved immune function, protection against the common cold, and other age-related disorders.”    The Link Between Vitamin C And Optimal Immunity

 Since we no longer eat lots of raw fresh food Vitamin C can be a problem for many people. Low Vitamin C levels are a root cause of many cardiovascular problems (See Atherosclerosis Protocol). Low vitamin C levels are almost certainly a contributing factor in MANY health problems. Low vitamin C levels make our kids vulnerable to the serious effects of Childhood Diseases with adequate vitamin C and vitamin D our kids immune systems destroy these viruses, bacteria and other pathogens effortlessly.

The simple brutal fact is that MANY people are walking around with sub clinical scurvy. Vitamin C is one of the few ways we have of ameliorating (See Chelation Protocol) the toxic effects of the fluoride (See Fluoride Protocol) that we are being poisoned with. High levels of vitamin C are thought by many to extend your life as vitamin C is the only known antioxidant able to protect the genetic code regulating your life span; your DNA.

How Obvious Cures Are Overlooked

Scurvy and Aging

• 1497: Citrus shown to cure scurvy
• 1747: Dr. James Lind proves citrus cures scurvy
• 1870: Citrus cure officially discredited
• 1911: Dr. Robert Scott loses crew to scurvy
• 1932: Vitamin C proven to cure scurvy

Millions of Deaths After Cure Discovered

"Interestingly, the reason why infantile scurvy was predominant among wealthy families is that poor families could not afford pasteurized milk. They had to rely on breast feeding. Pasteurization (heating) destroys the vitamin C naturally contained in cow’s milk. Scurvy killed thousands of infants before vitamin C was discovered."   How Obvious Cures Are Overlooked

"Before the 1930s, physicians were stymied because they had no idea that it was the vitamin C in citrus that was responsible for its curative powers. An erroneous theory emerged back then that it was the acidity of citrus that cured scurvy. Since limes were more acidic, limes started being used in place of lemons. It was later found that limes have only about 25% the scurvy fighting power of lemons. The lime juice being served to sailors in the mid-1800s was not fresh. It spent long periods in tanks open to the air and was pumped through copper tubing. Both of these processing methods caused the vitamin C to oxidize. Later experiments found this oxidized lime juice had no anti-scurvy powers, which was one reason why the “citrus cure” for scurvy was erroneously discredited in the 1870s."   How Obvious Cures Are Overlooked

Folks millions of people have died and ARE DYING of subclinical survey. When you examine it you will find a lack of vitamin C is the PRIME cause of CVD, our leading cause of death. Please do not be one of those with subclinical scurvy. Fast and processed "foods" have very little vitamin C. Eat fresh mostly raw food. eat high vitamin C food and supplement when sick or getting sick.

Vitamin C can cure Disease

Doctor Thomas Levy MD, JD presentation to 35th Annual Cancer Convention pt(1/4)

"Doctor Thomas Levy, who has provided the definitive proof in his book ‘ Vitamin C, Infectious Diseases and Toxins: Curing the Incurable’. He is one of the world’s experts in effects of vitamin C on viruses. Here’s what he says “I have not found any flu virus for which vitamin C does not exert a virucidal effect, as long as enough vitamin C reaches the virus, such as in any acute infection. Vitamin C is virtually devoid of negative side effects.”  Patrick  Holford

The effective therapeutic dose is based on clinical observation and bowel tolerance. Clinical observation is essentially "taking enough C to be symptom free, whatever that amount may be." Bowel tolerance means exactly what you think it means: the amount that can be absorbed from the gut without causing loose stools. [5,6]. Very high doses, 30,000 - 200,000 mg, divided up throughout the day, are remarkably non-toxic and have been documented by physicians as curing viral diseases as various as the common cold, flu, hepatitis, viral pneumonia, and even polio. [4,5,7]. On first reading this may sound incredible. We invite interested persons to read further, starting with the references listed below, and especially Dr. Frederick R. Klenner's Clinical Guide to the Use of Vitamin C. This short book is posted in its entirety at http://www.seanet.com/~alexs/ascorbate/198x/smith-lh-clinical_guide_1988.htm

Several mechanisms for vitamin C's antiviral effect are known or suggested from studies [4,8]. The antioxidant property of ascorbate promotes a reducing environment in the bloodstream and tissues, enhancing the body's response to oxidative stress from inflammation [9], thereby helping to fight microbes and viruses that propagate in stressful conditions [10]. Ascorbate has been shown to have specific antiviral effects in which it inactivates the RNA or DNA of viruses [11,12,13], or in the assembly of the virus [14]."   Orthomolecular Medicine News Service, December 3, 2009

 Ascorbate can enhance the production of interferon, which helps prevent cells from being infected by a virus [15,16]. Ascorbate stimulates the activity of antibodies [17], and in megadoses seems to have a role in mitochondrial energy production [18] . It can enhance phagocyte function, which is the body's mechanism for removing viral particles and other unwanted debris [4]. White blood cells, involved in the body's defense against infections of all types, concentrate ascorbate up to 80 times plasma levels, which, if you take enough vitamin C, allows them to bring huge amounts of ascorbate to the site of the infection [4]. Many different components of the immune response, B-cells, T-cells, NK cells, and also cytokine production, all with important roles in the immune response, are enhanced by ascorbate [19-23].”       Orthomolecular Medicine News Service, December 3, 2009

"With such a little body, you have to marvel at where all that ascorbate was going. Of course, it is the opinion of those who promulgate the US RDA and related nutritional mythology that almost all of that baby's vitamin C went uselessly into the toilet. Ray and his wife would tell you differently. They would say that their sick child soaked it up like a sponge, and then promptly got better. You choose the answer that works for you.”      Aggressive Dosing of Vitamin C in Serious Disease, Note here we have a classic case of a body in need COMPLETELY accepting and thriving on vitamin C in doses of MANY tens of grams/day

"Many viral infectious diseases have been cured and can continue to be cured by the proper administration of Vitamin C.  Yes, the vaccinations for these treatable infectious diseases are completely unnecessary when one has  the access to proper treatment with vitamin C.  And, yes, all the side effects of vaccinations...are also completely unnecessary since the vaccinations do not have to be given in the first place with the availability of properly dosed vitamin C."   Doctor Thomas Levy M.D., J.D. (Vitamin C,  Infectious Diseases and Toxins p30)

"Subjects who had reduced dietary vitamin C and high CRP had almost twice the risk of dying from CVD over follow-up than those who had a greater intake of vitamin C and lower CRP levels."   Life Extension   

"One research worker in the laboratory had been immunizing animals against diseases like tetanus and Diphtheria.  His experience showed that after being immunized, some of the animals died suddenly within 24 hours.  These deaths had been attributed to anaphylaxis.  Authorities the world over had decided that this was so (it is a severe allergic reaction).  I suggested that vitamin C deficiency was the cause.  The animals involved did not make their own.  Like primates they required it in their diet.   To discover the truth only required a simple experiment…The result was definite, unquestionable and final.  Half of a group of animals were supplemented with vitamin C before being immunised.  None died.  The un-supplemented half continued to die at rates equal to those found in previous experiments. The importance of this discovery can hardly be stressed.  In Australia and all over the world, infants were being immunised.  Those whose vitamin C status was low were at risk. Here, at last, was experimental evidence that supported my claims that stepping up immunisation campaigns among Aboriginal infants increased the death rate." (p.139-140)”       Doctor Archie Kalokerinos MD     Note here is some IMPORTANT information if you are FORCED to "vaccinate"

“Vitamin C: According to the late Dr Robert Cathcart, MD, who had extensive experience treating deadly infections with high dose vitamin C, "the Ebola virus kills by way of free radicals which can be neutralized by massive doses of sodium ascorbate intravenously." Indeed, Ebola virus disease -- as is the case with viral hemorrhagic disease in general -- resembles features of acute scurvy, and vitamin C is well known to have a broad range of benefits, including immune-boosting and antiviral properties, with an incredibly high safety margin.”   Natural Treatments for Ebola Virus Exist, Research Suggests

“Researcher John T. Ely, emeritus professor at the University of Washington, says white blood cells multiply more rapidly and ingest and eradicate viruses more effectively when vitamin C concentrations are high. Dr. Ely emphasizes the human immune system "must have ascorbic acid (vitamin C) to prevent and/or cure influenza." [Experimental Biology Medicine (Maywood) 2007 July; 232(7):847—51]” Bird flu mortality and Reye's syndrome   

Vitamin C can help you avoid colds and allergies. Vitamin C boosts your immune system. Vitamin C is also powerfully anti-histamine. It halts the production of histamine and speeds up the breakdown of histamine already in the blood. A 1992 study showed that taking two grams of vitamin C per day lowered histamine levels by 38 percent in healthy adults—after just one week.

The Anti-Infective Vitamins and Minerals

Your body will use vitamins D, C and A in VAST amounts to fight any infection including Cancer. Your job is to supply them in amounts GREATER than your body requires.

With a robust Natural Immune System and LOTS of Vitamin D and the anti-infective vitamins, minerals et al you can contract and DEFEAT most pathogens in seconds, minutes or hours.

White blood cells are useless unless they are full of ascorbic acid

"In Dr. Klenner’s review of his over 3000 cases about 15% required more Vitamin C than the average. This ties in with the idea that we are all different. It also explains why some dogs, who make their own Vitamin C would die of distemper. “I have cured many dogs suffering with distemper by giving several grams of ascorbic acid, by needle, every two hours.” 15% of 300 obstetrical cases required 15 grams of C daily to remain within normal limits. The other 85% needed only 10 grams per day. He felt some spillage into the urine indicated the body was saturated. “White blood cells are useless unless they are full of ascorbic acid.”    On the Work of Doctor Klenner on Vitamin C

“Dr. Klenner argues that the recommended daily allowances are only to prevent scurvy. “Acute scurvy and chronic hypovitaminosis are metabolically different conditions.” We all are much more vulnerable to stress, infections, and pollution.”

“He got to know the vulnerability of viruses so well, he played games with them. “When proper amounts are used it will destroy all virus organisms.” He could give one gram of ascorbic acid every four hours and modify the disease symptoms, but if he gave one gram every two hours by mouth for four days, he had stopped the disease, apparently by killing the virus. If he gave this dose for only two days, the symptoms returned. (He kept measles simmering in his own children for a month by giving this dose for two days, then off for two then on, etc.)”

“Researcher John T. Ely, emeritus professor at the University of Washington, says white blood cells multiply more rapidly and ingest and eradicate viruses more effectively when vitamin C concentrations are high.

The first physician to aggressively use Vitamin C to cure diseases was Frederick R. Klenner, M.D. Beginning back in the early 1940's. Dr. Klenner consistently cured chicken pox, measles, mumps, tetanus and polio with huge doses of vitamin C. Certainly if it is effective for these diseases it will help tremendously with the flu. From 1943 through 1947 Dr. Klenner reported successful treatment of 41 cases of viral pneumonia using massive doses of vitamin C.
