Here is a part of a post from another yahoogroup. I did not print the source as i do not have permission from him. I put it here as a precaution to the Ebola remedy i posted the other day. Melly =============
"To help clarify, there is a misunderstanding regarding "Vitamin C" and treating hemorrhagic issues. Microbleeds in the brain should not be treated with ascorbic acid or similar Vitamin C derivatives. Not only does it "NOT" strengthen capillaries and veins but may in fact weaken them through depleting copper. Copper helps to strengthen capillaries and veins. The Vitamin C bioflavanoid Rutin is what strengthens the capillaries and veins preventing hemorrhages and microbleeds. One will get small amounts of rutin when eating "foods" that contain Vitamin C however. This is a very important distinction as one would not want to take large doses of ascorbic acid or similar thinking one will prevent a hemorrhage or microbleeds. "
