Vitamin C

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

As you know, I had a problem with increased hyper symptoms when I started

eating a lot of oranges off our backyard tree. I generally eat an orange or

grapefruit every day, with no problem, but I stick to just one now.

I've been feeling more hyper lately, and my blood tests have shown higher

T3. I haven't changed my supplements or diet recently. I think the reason

is that I've been under so much stress. I can't do anything about the

situation, other than trying to keep a positive attitude. Is there

something you can suggest in my supplements that might help when I'm under

extra stress?

i have a suggestion for being hyper.......meditate!!! i shouldn't should so

definitive, but it couldn't hurt. i recently got a mantra and have been

meditiating for the past few weeks. it really helps your system slow down. i

don't think you necessarily need a special mantra. just sit quiet for about

twenty minutes concentrating on one sound or word. when your mind wanders,

just come back to that word. i think you'll feel a lot better. and don't say

you don't have time. that's what got us hyper in the first place. breathe

slowly and calm down.....judy

Thought we wernt supposed to take anything to enhance our immune system,

which Vitamin C does.

Hi ,

Vitamin C does not alter, agitate, or activate the immune system.

Technically speaking you are correct in that most doctors say we can't have

anything that boosts the immune system. The main herb that is brought up is

echinaeca (sp. may be incorrect). This herb can get your system riled up.

However, I have used it when I have been sick and done fine.

This information is to the best of my recollection. It has been some years

since I ordered/used this product, and I never sold it.

There is a multilevel marketing product called Cell System One. I think it

was developed by the author of Body Electric, who promotes an electrical

system of healing. Cell System One is specially processed in accordance

with this system. Anyway, Cell System One is basically megadoses of vitamin

C and zinc, and it can kick a cold's butt like nothing I've ever tried. The

testimonial which suckered me into buying the product spouted all sorts of

cures, but I didn't see anything in myself that would have encouraged me to

continue buying it at $50 a bottle. Call me cheap. If you want more info,

the company website is www.body-electric.com

Someone once told me that vitamin C is an antifungal.

VITAMIN E

What does it do? Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that protects cell

membranes and other fat-soluble parts of the body, such as LDL cholesterol (the

“bad” cholesterol). Protection of LDL cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart

disease. Two studies published in the New England Journal of Medicine show that

both men and women who supplement with at least 100 IU of vitamin E per day for

at least two years have a 37–41% drop in the risk of heart disease. Even more

impressive is the 77% drop in nonfatal heart attacks reported in the double

blind CHAOS study, in which people were given 400–800 IU vitamin E per day. See

more

This is but one small example of the abundant accurate free information, as well

as products for sale, in http://www.ClickWell.com

I am unaware of Vitamin C being an antifungal per se. It is an antioxidant

and an immune booster, and, as such, fights all sorts of foreign or harmful

organisms in the body, including fungus, but as a specific antifungal along

the lines of say grapefruit seed extract or black walnut, this I've never

heard. Anybody have any ideas?

VITAMIN C

This do-everything vitamin is more than an antioxidant. It is absolutely crucial in literally holding your body together . It's intimately involved in the formation of collagen, the connective tissue protein that makes up the walls of every cell in your body, and it's especially concentrated in the bones and in the cartilage, ligaments and tendons that cushion your bones and knit them together

Vitamin C is essential in the absorption of iron, the mineral your body needs to make the red blood cells that carry oxygen.

Your brain needs C to make serotonin and norepinephrine, neurotransmitters that carry messages between brain cells.

Like the B vitamins, vitamin C helps make protein go to work in your body, but it also helps metabolize the B vitamin folate. (For sources and requirements, see previous chapter .)

IMMUNE POWER: Even with all these absolutely crucial life functions, you probably particularly associate vitamin C with a strong immune system. You're right, because it is involved in every immune function ever studied. It's found in very high levels in white blood cells, which the body makes in several different types -for lots of different jobs.

When white blood cells are fighting infections, they use up vast amounts of vitamin C. At the same time, bacteria interfere with your body's absorption of vitamin C, which means you should boost your intake during illness.

Scientists think that vitamin C also decreases the reaction time of white blood cells, helping them respond faster to an invader .

It may also boost the number of receptors on the surface of white blood cells. These are "docking mechanisms" enabling the cells to literally lock on to bacteria and viruses.

Finally, vitamin C seems to hike the production of interferon, the cancer-fighting chemical produced by a cell when it is being attacked by a virus.

Not only does interferon send urgent messages to nearby cells to warn them of the invader, it gets the neighboring cells to get their guard up, thus stopping the infection from spreading.

Hi,

I haven't read anything about vitamin C increasing hyper symptoms. In fact, Dr. Langer finds that a deficiency of C will cause hyper symptoms in rats. And GD causes deficiencies of vitamin C. If you do take vitamin C in large doses, though, you have to be consistent. If you take more than 1 gram daily and then quit, you can experience symptoms of a cold or allergy. This happens to me if I don't take my usual 2 grams of C for a few days.

[Guest guest]

Thanks Elaine,

I keep reading everywhere that vitamin C is a problem for us, and that I need

to add it,

but with my previous experience, have not yet been willing to try. In the past I

felt it

right away, and could hardly wait for it to be over, including not being my best

the next

day. So in adding new supplements, one at a time, I have just put this one off.

But now that I have it from the horses mouth, so to speak, I will find time in

my

schedule to be down for a day, just in case. You have never steered me wrong yet

!!! And

with the cold and flu season here, this has been on my mind.

The past experience most likely was caused by my lack of EVERYTHING, and a

chunk of C

must have just been that one thing too many for this poor ol body. And if memory

serves, I

would have been at least a bit hypo each time I tried this.

Sometimes I feel like my body is just one grand science experiment. = :-o

-Pam- hummm, I wonder if it was the brand I bought? I did try two different

ones, but

neither one were expensive. Darn, I threw them out....now I could make the same

mistake.

Of course if I had never tried anything new, I never would have gotten better.

:-)

[Guest guest]

Hello Pam

Nope - no reactions of that sort, but I do make sure that if I blitz any

symptoms eg cold symptoms or ear infections etc then I wean myself off the

vit C rather than suddenly stopping - I go to the limit on vit C which I

become aware of when I get diarrhoea and then I wean off. I don't take vit

C every day, only when I need to do the blitz thing.

Happy Christmas,

Vitamin C

This is interesting. I'm thinking of really going all out on the nutritional side of things in the new year so maybe I should change my approach to the use of vit C then.

[Guest guest]

Indeed, . Vitamin C is very important to wrap your body around

consistently; especially during cold and flu season. You don't want

to let a virus throw you into turmoil. It worries me that you're

doing your supplements individually in the first place because I know how

out of balance most people are nutritionally. I've been able to balance

my supplements beautifully. Let me know how you manage it.

Hello Donna

I'm not doing my supplements individually. I'm not, as yet, doing any supplements. I intend looking into all that this year. Soon. I just take large doses of vit C whenever I feel a cold or sore throat coming on. Usually it fixes it.

Happy New Year!

Dear Mark here's some info.

Peace, Jeanine

http://hepchelp.homestead.com

In Plain English: A free radical is simply a cell that has lost a negative ion.

There is another way you can look at free radicals, that is through the eyes of a chemist,

The chemist would say: Free radicals are unstable fragments of molecules that have one or more unpaired electrons. An unpaired electron is one that occupies an atomic orbital by itself. Free radicals are involved in oxidation reactions, combustion reactions, and many other biological reactions.

In Plain English: A free radical's mission in life is to steal a negative ion from a healthy cell.

The chemist: Radicals are formed due to the breaking of covalent bonds. A homiletic fusion occurs when one electron from each pair leaves with each atom.

In Plain English: Free radicals are caused by poor nutrition, stress, pollution, chemicals in our food, exposure to radiation, prescription drugs, first and second hand smoke, lack of exercise and a host of others.

The chemist:Oxygen is the major promoter of free radicals in living cells.Oxygen in most biological organisms allows for the formation of the superoxide molecule. It is the superoxide molecule that produces the harmful hydroxide radical.

In Plain English: Silica Hydride has been shown to effective neutralize the hydroxyl radical in university studies.

One 250mg capsule of Silica Hydride has the power of 10,000 glasses of fresh squeezed organic orange juice. Do you know how much just one glass of fresh squeezed organic orange juice costs?

First of all the fresh squeezed orange juice that you find in restaurants is usually not organically produced (grown without the use of chemicals or pesticides).

In most cases, to get organically produced orange juice you have to get in your car, drive to one of the better health food stores that has a deli section, (unless you live in a major city that could be a long drive) wait in line, and for about $4 you can get a single glass. You could squeeze it yourself however organic oranges from that same health food store cost about a buck a pound. . .

Now, if you continue to drink one glass of organic, fresh squeezed orange juice every single day for 27 years, you will get the power and electron availability of one capsule of Active H-, containing Dr. Flanagan’s Silica Hydride.

Evaluation of Active H- as a Scavenger of Free Radicals, Report I

Tests on Active H- were conducted using electron spin resonance techniques (ESR) by a scientist who specializes in the evaluation of antioxidants at a major university. The following is quoted from the test report:

"We have made a thorough investigation of the antioxidant activity of Active H- by several experimental methods. Hydroxyl radical scavenging activity was found in two different Active H- preparations provided."

"Our conclusions are that Active H- has antioxidant activity towards hydroxyl radicals. Hydroxyl radicals are among the most dangerous of oxygen free radicals that occur in biological systems. They are the same types of radicals that can be produced by exposure to ionizing radiation. Therefore, it can be stated that Active H- has antioxidant activity in this regard." (Personal Communication: Lester Packer, Ph.D., University of California at Berkley, 1999)

Evaluation of Active H- as a Scavenger of Free Radicals, Report II

Tests on Active H- were conducted by a scientist who specializes in the evaluation of antioxidants at a separate major university. The following is quoted from the test report: "When assayed in the ‘standard’ assay for super oxide dismutase activity based upon the reduction of cytochrome c by xanthine (see J. Biol. Chem. 244: 6049-6055, 1969), Active H- showed two characteristics:

Active H- can directly reduce cytochrome c, showing that it is a reducing agent (or an antioxidant).

Active H- can inhibit the superoxide-mediated reduction of cytochrome c, indicating that it can scavenge the superoxide free radical.”

"When assayed with an alternative method based on the ability of superoxide to oxidize epinephrine to adrenochrome, Active H- also showed its ability to scavenge the superoxide radical and inhibit the process." (Personal Communication: Joe McCord, Ph.D., University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, 1998). An abstract of this in vitro antioxidant data was presented and published in the Proceedings of the National Hydrogen Association 10th Annual Meeting. pg. 595-610; 1999)

Mark,

I've been taking Vitamin C all my life and through the years have tried different brands and different strenghts. I have now chosen the one I think is best due to the ascorbic acid laying around in my stomach and irrating it...I buy one that doesn't have to be slowly broken down. In fact, iherb.com sells it. I don't remember where I read about the different types of vitamin c, but in my brain is the knowledge that what sources the c comes from is important. Some sources being a lot better. Using the knowledge I've gathered through trial and error, I settled for a blend with lemon bioflavonoids, rose hips, acerola, rutin and hesperidin. It is a C concentrate which I mix one of two ways, one teaspoon full in water with honey and the other one teaspoon in orange juice. Depends on my mood at to how I mix it. It goes right into the blood stream. My husband doesn't like it in water, but then again, he doesn't put honey in it. It's a matter of taste. The one I buy is Super C from Twinlab. In my head has stayed the fact that C from cherries is the best and one with bioflavionoids. I wish I could tell you all the reasons, but the older one gets...no, it's not a senior moment....it's there is so much knowledge up there and remember I started filing it away long before computers came along....lol. My massage therapist says you can tell when you're getting too much C easily...if you start having loose stools, you should lower the amount. Now I don't know about that...I know the body does give us signals. You could do a search on the sources my c comes from...rutin, hesperidin, rose hips, acerola etc. The powdered C from what I've learned stays in the system longer and enters the bloodstream and tissues four times more efficiently than standard Vit. C. Hope this helps when choosing the right C for you. You need to take C because your body does get depleted of it. I read a long...long time ago which astounded me, that if one smokes, they lose 25mg. of C with every cigarette. Just something I found interesting. I know I didn't answer your question, but maybe someone else can. God bless you Mark. By the way, I like iherb.com and they are exceptional in service and quality. Janie

[ ] Vitamin C

I have just read a book about food additives listed under "Additives Having Harmful Effect on the Liver/Kidneys" is Ascorbic Acid.

I am now confused because I have only heard vitamin c is good, which I have no doubt it is, but is one form better than another?

I will quote from the Book

Ascorbic Acid - 300 - E300 (Vitamin C/L-Ascorbic Acid) Antioxidant, flour treatment, preservative, colour stabiliser. Large doses may cause diarrhoea, vomiting, dizziness or dental erosion. More than 10g per day could cause kidney stones in susceptible people. It should be taken under medical advice if suffering from anemia, kidney stones or gout. Increases iron absorption and interacts with many drugs so a doctor should be consulted it taking prescription medicines.

Ascorbic acid prevents the formation of nitrosamines.

Ascorbyl Palmitate - 304 - E304 (6-0- Palmitoyl-L-Ascorbate acid) Antioxidant, colour and preservative. The fat-soluble form of vitamin c. Thought to be better utilized by the human body than ascorbic acid and to be more than 30 times more effective as an anti tumour promoter. Plays an important role in stabilising cell membranes against lipid peroxidisation and is as strong a radical scavenger as ascorbic acid. See Ascorbic acid (Hazardous).

I am not putting one forward as better than the other, simply trying learn which is better for me.

Hi, immcocoa?

I was researching the use of vitamin C to fight Candida a few weeks ago.

It would seem a methodology that would have some merit.

Vitamin C would appear to exhibit excellent anti fungal and anti viral

properties at theraputic doses.

The Vitamin C flush is used to determine the therapeutic dose of Vitamin C that

is to be used for treatment.

Vitamin C is taken at intervals untill bowel tolerance is reached as indicated

by watery diarrhea.

The therapeutic dose is then considered to be 80% of this amount spread out in

several doses each day.

From what I read about Vitamin C flushes this therapeutic dose can be quite

high, in the area of 10 to 50 or even up to 100 grams of Vitamin C a day or

more. It is thought that bowel tolerance goes up when the body is in a

diseased condition and can make use of larger amounts of Vitamin C to help fight

the disease.

Peace, Bruce.

from:

http://www.doctoryourself.com/thrush.html

For the various forms of yeast infection, I first recommend vegetable juicing

and a near-vegetarian diet, including plenty of unsweetened yogurt. This helps

get the entire body's microbe population back into balance. Eliminating sugar is

an absolute must. Candida love sugar, so starve them. In addition, to help

bring prompt symptomatic relief, I suggest megadoses of vitamin C. Used in

sufficient quantity, I think it is superior to nystatin, imidazoles or any other

pharmaceutical you may be offered. You can expect to encounter widespread

disagreement with that statement.

from:

http://www.doctoryourself.com/aids_cathcart.html

INTRODUCTION

I had previously described that the amount of ascorbic acid which can be

tolerated orally by a patient without producing diarrhea, increases somewhat

proportionately to the toxicity of his disease (1,2,3,4). Among the roughly 80%

of persons who tolerate ascorbic acid very well, -bowel tolerance- will be

reached when in excess of 10 to 15 grams of ascorbic acid dissolved in water is

taken in 4 to 6 divided doses per 24 hours. The astonishing finding was that

when that same person is acutely ill with a mild cold, that tolerance may

increase to approximately 50 grams per 24 hours. A severe cold can increase

tolerance to 100 grams; an influenza, even up to 150 grams; and mononucleosis or

viral pneumonias, to as much as 200 grams per 24 hours. These higher doses may

have to be divided as frequently as hourly.

These large amounts of ascorbate are being drawn off the GI tract at a rate

sufficient to prevent significant amounts from reaching the rectum and producing

diarrhea.

many use ester C---and there are many other forms--I think it's best

to avoid stomach problems always take with food and spread it out

though the day---

these doctors below from this link treat very ill people so their

doseages are huge---3 grams is around the normal for most of us--

under 2 grams if you eat a lot of veggies---sick with a cold is about

4-5 grams--cancer patients go for 10 grams --so this is the typical

amount---but everyone is different.

That really depends on your views regarding natural vs synthetic vit

C (ascorbic acid). If you are going to use mega doses to treat a

specific condition than synthetic is your only option. If you're just

going to take one gram a day than there are a couple of natural ones

that come to mind, I think in US its Standard Process vitamins that

use Acerola cherry as a source of vit C.

Camu C might be of interest, unless the manioc root in the capsules is

a problem. This might only be in Canada, but maybe there is a U.S.

brand too? Or maybe it's more affordable to order it from the site

below than other options? I have it in my cupboard, and I haven't

taken many capsules. I have it in case I need more C (normally my diet

is high in C from the vegetables I eat. Lots of broccoli, which is

higher in C than citrus fruits). I opened a capsule to taste the

powder one time, and found the taste to be quite good. Tangy.

Dear Del:

Standard Process are " USUALLY " only available through distributors, my

chiropractor sells them.

Any good health food store should be able to steer you towards types of

vitamins that use acerola cherry as a source of vitamin c. If worst comes to

worst, choose your favorite online vitamin source and plug acerola cherry into

their search.

If you need the names of some good companies feel free to shout

Hi

Just eating 1/2 a papaya a day will give you your RDA

of vitamin C. Papaya contains digestive enzymes and

helps heal the digestive track. I have it as a starter

for breakfast every morning. Cut in half, scrape out

the seeds, fill with chopped preserved ginger (wash

the syrup of the ginger) and a squeeze of lemon juice.

Delicious!
