Some Vitamin C data snippets from Dr Keith Scott-Mumby.<\/p>\n
We all know the superb benefits of vitamin C: it stops scurvy (Latin: scorbutes, hence a-scorbic acid!) It is needed to make collagen, a fibrous protein in connective tissue that is weaved throughout various systems in the body: nervous, immune, bone, cartilage, blood, and others.<\/p>\n
That means it’s good for varicose veins, which need collagen for support!<\/p>\n
The vitamin helps make several hormones and chemical messengers used in the brain and nerves, says the Harvard website.1<\/p>\n
It is essential to wound healing, as is zinc.<\/p>\n
It’s a powerful antioxidant. It gives electrons to substances which have been stripped of electrons, a process called oxidation.<\/p>\n
It’s antimicrobial and has saved countless lives in massive doses when used in pneumonia, sepsis (septicemia), childbirth and other overwhelming infection situations.<\/p>\n
It has a DEFINITE anti-cancer effect. It can be cytotoxic (kills tumor cells) in concentrations as little as 3 gm per 100.<\/p>\n
But did you know vitamin C is needed for maintenance of muscle mass as you grow older? It stops us becoming weaklings as we age! That’s relatively new research.<\/p>\n
Vitamin C is good at all sorts of levels, yet orthodox doctors and nutritionist INSIST you don’t need much of it. Well you DO! Goats and other animals need about 12 gms a day, says Mother Nature. We are about the size of a goat and so we NEED 12 \u2013 15 grams too. Whereas the official allowance (RDA) is just a piffling 65 \u2013 100 mgms daily, we actually need 100 times that amount, or more, every day: 10,000 mgms = 10 grams.<\/p>\n
That’s a minimum, not a maximum. When we are sick, requirements of vitamin C can go up exponentially. We can administer 100 grams, 200 grams, IV to a seriously ill patient and still no excess vitamin C spills into the urine. That’s a sure sign it was all gobbled up \u2014it was needed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
