as a component of enzymes involved in the synthesis of collagen and
carnitine.
Vitamin C intake markedly reduces the severity of a cold; it also
effectively prevents secondary viral and bacterial complications.
Vitamin C works by stimulating the immune system and protecting against
damage by the free radicals released by the body in its fight against
infection. (54)
Drs. Pauling and Cameron pioneered the use of large doses of Vitamin C
(more than 10 grams a day) in the treatment of cancer patients. From
their experiments at the Vale of Leven Hospital in Scotland, they
concluded that terminal cancer patients who received large daily doses
of Vitamin C, along with the regular treatment, lived much longer than
patients who did not receive Vitamin C. These patients also had less
pain, and in general, a much-improved quality of life.
Larsen continues:
Vitamin C is truly a wonder nutrient and there is no doubt that many of
the serious degenerative diseases plaguing the civilized world today can
be prevented or even reversed through an adequate intake of this
essential vitamin.
A scientific advising panel to the U.S. government recently recommended
that all healthy adults increase their Vitamin C intake to 250-1000 mg.
a day.
A daily intake of 250-1000 mg. of Vitamin C may be adequate for
preventive purposes, but far larger quantities are required in halting
or reversing cancer and heart disease and hepatitis C.
Although there has been some concern that people suffering from
hemochromatosis (a tendency to iron overload) may be sensitive to high
doses of Vitamin C, most researchers agree that Vitamin C is entirely
safe in daily quantities of 10 grams or more. An adequate intake of
Vitamin C is surely the best and most cost efficient health insurance
available today.
The official Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) is sixty mg. per day. How
much do we need? To answer this question it is crucial to realize that
the RDA is not, in any way, based on what is required for optimum
health. The RDA is simply the amount required to avoid scurvy, the most
obvious deficiency disease. Actually the RDA is based on the Vitamin C
content of the average diet. The logic goes somewhat like this: The
average "healthy" North American diet provides about 60 mg. per day of
Vitamin C, so since scurvy is virtually unknown in the USA today, 60 mg.
per day must be adequate. So much for "science."
High-potency Vitamin C produces dramatic healing in many hepatitis C
patients.
Research papers have reported that RNA viruses, including hepatitis C,
encode selenium-dependent glutathione peroxide genes. Research indicates
that selenium may act like a "birth control pill" for the virus.
Drinking distilled water helps leach out iron and other toxic overloads
from the liver. All chronic hepatitis C patients should drink distilled
water during the night.
As long as we're on the topic of iron retention, it is important for
hepatitis C patients to avoid all iron supplements. Carefully read the
ingredients in supplements because iron is added needlessly in all sorts
of pills and other types of supplements such as super-foods and in
particular supplements designed for women. If you have hepatitis C and
don't know if you're retaining iron in your liver, get tested. A simple
blood test will reveal your iron binding content. If you have a liver
biopsy, be sure to remind your doctor to have an iron test done at the
same time. Not all doctors know or remember to do this.
In order to get enough Vitamin C in your diet, consume at least two
lemons everyday. They should be fresh and organic. Use them in tea, to
marinate meat, in stir-fry, and to make lemonade, lemon honey, and
distilled water. Put a slice of lemon in your glass of water; it makes
water more exciting. There are live enzymes and bioflavonoids in fresh
squeezed fruit that just aren't found in pills, powder, or processed
supplements. Also, lemons are a good source of the mineral magnesium,
which helps maintain the mineral balance in the body.
Maud Grieve, a modern herbalist said, "It is probable that the lemon is
the most valuable of all fruit for preserving health."
Vitamin C leaches calcium out of the body so it is necessary to
supplement your body with calcium. Use Tasly Milk Calcium pills. Viruses,
conditions. There are also other trace minerals in this product as well.
During treatment take: 7000 mg. of vitamin C two times per day for
three months. Vitamin C can leach calcium out of your body. I suggest
taking Tasly Milk Calcium with vitamin C as it helps promote an alkaline PH.
