Vitamin C Show
Well, it’s required in over 300 metabolic functions within the human body and yet your body does not manufacture it. It’s a powerful anti-oxidant and is needed for tissue growth and repair. It aids in adrenal function and is essential for stress hormones. It gives you healthy gums, boosts your immune system and even reduces symptoms of asthma. It naturally chelates, or claws and pulls out heavy metals from the body, protects you against cancer and lowers bad cholesterol and keeps you looking young and thin…And that’s just a drop in the bucket.
What does all that? What is this “Silver Bullet”? What is it? Where do you get it, if your body doesn’t manufacture it?
Well, it’s not a silver bullet and it’s been around since the beginning of time! It’s Vitamin C and you have to eat it or supplement with it! It was in the first garden, if you know what I mean…And today I’m going to give you as much information as I can possibly cram into this show. It’s so powerful and yet so often overlooked! But the “Great Vitamin C” will not be over- looked today.
And who knows most about Vitamin C, I’d have to say without a shadow of a doubt it’s Linus Pauling, Ph D. He was the only person ever to win two unshared Nobel prizes, one of which was for his findings of Vitamin C. So get ready, because today on Alternative Health I’m going to tell you the inside Vitamin C scoop!
According to Dr. Pauling symptoms of Vitamin C include a feeling of weakness, restlessness, rapid exhaustion and sallow skin. A patient will also experience muscle pain, depression and hemorrhaging of muscles and tissues. Extreme cases are extreme exhaustion, kidney and pulmonary problems.
Ok, let’s first talk about some of the foods that contain the highest levels of Vitamin C –
Bee Pollen, Oranges, Strawberries, Guavas, Blackcurrants, Lemon, Papaya, Persimmons, Elderberries, Grapefruit, Mangoes, Orange, Cantaloupe, Loganberries, Tangerines, Currants, Raspberries, Blackberry, Apple, Apricot, Pineapple, Avocado, Bananas, Garlic, Passion fruit, Redcurrant, Gooseberry, Red Chili, Parsley, Paprika, Rosehips, Ginkgo Biloba, Nettle, Peas – Green, Soya Beans, Lima Beans, elp, Capsicum, Broccoli , Lemon Grass, Wheat Grass, Tomato, Cabbage, Watercress, Mustard Greens, Brussels Sprouts, Capsicum-Red, Carrot, Kale, Asparagus, Cabbage-Red, Spinach, Cauliflower, Turnips, Okra, Asparagus, Green Beans, Radish, Onions
Now, one thing that’s very important to know is that while all of these are high in Vitamin C, when they’re cooked they lose at least half their Vitamin C content, so they must be eaten raw. Dr. Pauling said a decent American diet would only provide about 100 mg of Vitamin C daily. However, according to his findings one half of the people studied only took in 57.9 mg of Vitamin C daily. And one third of adults didn’t even get the recommended daily allowance which is only 45 mg per day.
The sad facts are that in order to truly rid the body of ailments, viruses and bacteria Dr. Pauling said we must ingest thousands of mg. throughout the day. Bottom line Vitamin C is known for its antiviral and phagocytic activity as well as its immunostimulant effect on lymphocyte cells. Furthermore, resistance to disease decreases if a Vitamin C deficiency occurs. So take Vitamin C.
Many other studies have investigated the effect of Vitamin C on other diseases. Studies have shown that Vitamin C supplementation may prevent cataracts, as well as possibly reduce the risk of periodontal disease, atherosclerotic heart disease, and diabetes. Also Vitamin C is indicated in reducing blood pressure and decreasing cholesterol in the blood.
Now, we know Vitamin C fights disease, so let’s get specific. What all does it do? First off, Vitamin C is a powerful Antioxidant. It destroys and counteracts free radicals as well as protects the brain from free radical damage, and we all need to keep and protect all the brain cells we have!!!
Vitamin C improves the body's utilization of Cholesterol by increasing good HDL and converting the LDL, the bad cholesterol to the HDL, so it makes more of the good and gets rid of the bad cholesterol. And at the same time reduces triglycerides. Studies show 2000 mg of Vitamin C per day lowers blood sugar levels, so all of you borderline, type 1 or type 2 diabetics, need to be taking your Vitamin C. And typically Diabetics are found to have low levels of Vitamin C.
Vitamin C alleviates and prevents Fatigue primarily by facilitating the production of the Thyroid Hormone, Thyroxine. So all you low thyroid people can really benefit by taking Vitamin C and people who consume high levels of Vitamin C exhibit 50% less Fatigue than those who consume low doses of Vitamin C.
Vitamin C combined with Vitamin E improves Liver function and Vitamin C accelerates weight loss…yeah, I knew that would get your attention!

4000 mg of Vitamin C per day improves the Cell function in Congestive Heart Failure patients. It helps to prevent and treat Angina. Vitamin C helps to prevent Heart Attacks and is useful in the treatment of people who have recently experienced a Heart Attack. During a Heart Attack, the body’s White Blood Cells transport all available Vitamin C to the Heart to counteract Free Radical damage sustained as a result of the Heart Attack. You see God made your body to heal itself when given the right tools. Men who consume only 300 - 400 mg of Vitamin C per day have an average of 45% fewer deaths from Heart Attacks.
Vitamin C helps to prevent Strokes and people who are highly deficient in Vitamin C have double the risk of dying from a Stroke.
Dr. Linus Pauling spent many years researching and advocating the use of Vitamin C. He considered the vitamin to be a simple, inexpensive food, and easily assimilated supplement. He also believed that the human population should be informed of this nutrient in order to live a long and happy life. Vitamin C contributes to the body’s many functions, as well as supports and enhances its immune defense system. Research will continue to unravel the mysteries and complexities of the function of the body. No doubt, Vitamin C will have a place in that research for the many years to come, as its significant presence deserves such attention.
