We lost the gene for hepatic
synthesis of ascorbate from glucose some 60 million years ago. The
genetic defect, enzymatic absence of 1-
gulonolactone oxidase during the final stage of conversion of
1-gulonolactone into ascorbate, forms the basis of Dr.Irwin Stone's
hypothesis- Hypoascorbemia, a very
low blood level of ascorbic acid. Dr Stone, a pioneer in vitamin
research and application,contended that Vitamin C is a pseudovitamin,and
that the superior
bioavailability of Vitamin C resides in its hepatic metabolite.
Esterified Vitamin
C, a synthetic,attains a faster blood level and maintains a higher blood
level than traditional Vitamin C ,contains similar hepatic metabolites?
Further research will
reveal whether the effective bioavailability of Ester Vitamin C is due
to its complementary or enhancing property on natural hepatic
metabolites. Linus Pauling's
megadosing recommendation for the common cold is considerably reduced
using Esterified C. What the human body cannot synthesize [ Vitamin C,
Linoleic acid ],
Nature has catered for in the natural form in man's diet. Natural
concomitants of
Vitamin C commonly encountered, are the bioflavonoids, collectively
called Vitamin P.

Sounds like he's made silver citrate by electrolyzing silver in a
citric acid solution. Don't know if that's a good idea or not, but I
do know that ascorbic acid is not absorbed at the cellular level
unless it's in a mineral ascorbate form, which is the form created in
the livers of the other 99% of mammals on this planet (besides humans

powdered product called Emergen-C which is all mineral ascorbates (no
silver) plus B vitamins, and it appears to be quite effective in my
family. So maybe silver citrate or silver ascorbate is an interesting
idea? Anyone know for sure? Sam

Subject: CSCitric acid and Silver
Hello all, I have recently been looking into a company that
purports to have invented a silver solution using citric
acid. I asked the inventor if this was a colloidal silver
solution, and he replied that his solution is a compound and
is not colloidal silver, and yet the claims he is making
sounds exactly like the claims for colloidal silver. Is the
citric acid contributing to germ kill according to your
knowledge?? Or is the citric acid there so he can claim his
solution is unique...Also he claims that his silver is in
very low concentrations in the ppb parts per billion.I kinda
thought this guy just basically had a colloidal silver type
product, but I see that water purification company named
Innovative Medical (stock symbol PURE for anyone who wishes
to read the recent press release) has announced an
affiliation and distribution agreement for silver based
purification and a wound cleanser. There is also a health
care supplement available using ionized silver and citric
acid. Hasn't someone commented on effects obtained when
taking colloidal silver with orange juice??I would be
interested in hearing from you knowlegable listers. Someone
must have heard something about citric acid being used in
combination with ionized silver. Thanks in advance,Cindy
