Alright. Enough with the Vit C bashing. 19 yrs ago there was a woman who after her pregnancy suddenly found herself craving anything that had Vitamin C. For instance, she couldn't get enough Orange Juice every day and found herself drinking it by the quarts daily, and on top of that she ate oranges as well. Hmmm...Strange, very strange sudden behavior she thought. Perhaps it was something to do with the pregnancy? Yet, she had two other children and never had she felt such an all consuming "craving" of any kind after the births.
Something was wrong she thought. What was the clue....her baby absolutely refused to nurse. So, she went to the Doctor to see what was up. Well, to her shock and astonishment two weeks later she finds out she has Stage 3 Cancer. Wow, she thought....what to do?!! There was a newborn to take care of yet the MD specialists told her that her prognosis was that IF she made it 5 years....she could consider herself lucky. Well, that was the beginning of this womans journey. She read, researched, especially Linus Pauling works.....she went so far as to call a Doctor in England, at his home, Ewan Cameron, man who co-authored a book with Dr. Pauling... to ask about Vitamin C. Dr.Cameron, after a long and expensive talk, felt that the minimum, very basic amount of Vitamin C needed by a human being was 5 grams daily. This amount he felt was sufficient to deal with the stress levels modern human beings need to deal as result of numerous factors, environmental, mental, etc. Well, that woman immediately went on 20 grams a day daily for almost a year and never reached bowel tolerance. As a matter of fact, she took it with Chemo and the doctors could never understand why she fared so incredibly well with the almost toxic doses they administered. My advice to anyone dealing with any kind of medical condition whether great or small is to take Vitamin C, often and in sufficient amounts. It is almost 20 years now and I am here to tell you this story, and I still strive for 5 grams....daily. And Joh, no conjecture on my part, just the facts. Be Well, and be Good. :) John Plumridge <bollyb...@yahoo.co.uk> wrote: --On 8 September 2007 10:41:37 -0400 faith gagne wrote: > Some cancer studies found that cancer patients had almost no vitamin c > left in their blood because their bodies were using every bit of the > vitamin c to fight the illness. That is conjecture, made up not found. Simplistic, and therefore probably wrong. These people are on highly elevated > doses of vitamin c administered by their doctors, gaining much physical > comfort from vitamin c. Wrong question, should have avoided answering. If they teach like that, then sack them. Benefits of Vitamin C supplements are dubious. Research an enterprise. Arificial Vitamin C not the real thing. Supplements adverse effects on chelated copper proven to be adverse (see previous posts on cramps). THe whole range of things essential to life in the diet is huge. Supplemnts an industry of poor guesswork based on a faulty model. From this the research follows. These naturopaths of old are old hat. Just eat a healthy fresh diet of traditional foods, and there is all the medicine you need. Study tradition. In the land of the Lemon (Middle East), it is frowned upon even to ingest Lemon Juice without food, because it makes you thin. I don't know, I suppose they say take these supplements with food. I've never taken a supplement in my life, so I don't know. But then I am in robust health at 47. I was badly paralysed once and got over it with natural food and exercise (took years). I also went to India for medical investigation, it was so poor in Britain. But that was due to junk food: I went to a supermarket to buy instant mash because I was going high altitude mountaineering. Cycling out , on my side of the exit , a heavy wooden barrier was brought down on my head. THey had allowed taxis to come in on the wrong side head on toward me in order to beat queues of cars coming in (profits, see - break the law), and raised it for them unknown to me, which caused me to swerve, and automatically bring the barrier down. -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
