You have always been told to increase your vitamin C when you have a cold – right? People have thought I am crazy for saying that vitamin C can help reduce allergy symptoms. Think about this… the allergy is an immune response to something the body sees as an invader.

Boost Your Immune System and you reduce the histimic response to allergens. I saw it happen in a man who fell in love with a woman who owned a cat. He loved her but the cat made him cry and sneeze and talk funny. When he boosted his vitamin C, his responses went away in a few weeks. He was able to reduce the amount he was taking but he continues to take it.

I like to take a C vitamin in addition to a related nutrient, quercetin. This, along with a saline nasal rinse using the neti-pot and sea salt with therapeutic quality essential oils, has eliminated what was once a chronic series of sinus infections. 

Take a look at what Dr. Howenstein says of the power of Vitamin C in his article regarding using vitamin C in drug addictions:

“Human beings lack the L-gulonolactone oxidase enzyme (GLO). Lack of this enzyme makes humans unable to synthesize ascorbate from blood glucose. All mammals except primates, guinea pigs, and humans use glucose to create ascorbate when placed in stressful situations. A normal animal under minimal stress increases ascorbate output to the human equivalent of 10 to 20 grams daily. Under physical and chemical stress, animals can increase this ascorbate output three to five fold.

A daily intake of 10 to 20 grams by an unstressed human is not high. Under stress the need for ascorbate may go up to 30 to 100 grams daily. The continuation of sub-therapeutic doses of vitamin C recommended for 40 years in the USA would barely keep animals alive in poor health. High doses of vitamin C in viral infections have proven amazingly effective. The low daily level of vitamin C in humans obtained from our foods grown in depleted soil has produced a state of chronic subclinical scurvy (CSS Syndrome). This problem probably affects more than 90 per cent of humans. “

Studies on Ascorbate

Humans suffer severe damage from stress unless they are being provided supplemental ascorbate, as their needs may rise to 30 to 100 grams of ascorbate daily. Uncorrected, this metabolic disorder keeps humans in subclinical scurvy their whole lives.

This deficiency of proper amounts of ascorbate and vitamin C produces:

o Arteriosclerosis. Dr. Linus Pauling has shown that 6 grams of vitamin C combined with 6 grams of Lysine in divided dosage causes prompt healing of arteriosclerosis and normalization of treadmill tests. Blood pressure normalizes.
o Inability to tolerate stress.
o Exposure to toxic substances in large amounts may prove fatal (narcotics, snake bite poisons, barbiturates, PCP, heroin, alcohol, marijuana, LSD) as the body cannot degrade these toxic substances without supplemental ascorbate.
o Unnecessary morbidity from viral infections. Dr. Klenner saw remarkable healings in polio,[2] including bulbar forms, when he treated patients with large daily doses of intravenous vitamin C(100 grams).
o Greater possibility of prolonged fatal low blood pressure occurs when ascorbic acid is not promptly given in all forms of shock.[3] Twelve grams intravenously promptly restores blood pressure to normal. Barbiturate poisoning and carbon monoxide poisoning also promptly respond.
o Pain from terminal cancer,[4] burns, and snake bite[5] is promptly quenched by the analgesic effects of ascorbate therapy. Morphine can be discontinued.
o Compromised immune function occurs in diabetics and persons with high blood sugar values. High blood sugar values cause inability of macrophages and killer lymphocytes to kill cancer cells and bacteria, so malignancies grow unchecked and infections become fatal. The provision of ascorbate decreases the amount of sugar available to raise the blood sugar by creating NADPH, which creates superoxide and reactive oxygen species that kill pathogens. Ascorbic acid also promotes the production of 5 carbon sugars (ribose and deoxyribose) that can be turned into DNA and RNA. When ascorbate is lacking, these new white blood cells needed to fight infection are not built because the DNA and RNA fragments are lacking.

Ascorbate has important analgesic effects that have been utilized to relieve patients with terminal cancer of pain, which may be due to bony spread of malignancies and tumor growth into painful sites. The use of ascorbates not only relieves their pain but also stops rapid progression of cancer, as many cancers have morphine receptor sites on their surfaces.

From Dr. James Howenstein, MD May 28, 2008 article Drug Addiction is Easy to Cure

So there you have it:

· humans cannot make vitamin C-

· they MUST get it via diet.

· Vitamin C is necessary to withstand stress,

· the more stress, the more we need.

· Stress includes emotional as well as chemical

· Vitamin C is needed to break down toxins

· Vitamin C can reduce pain

· Vitamin C strengthens the immune system

· USDA recommendations are woefully inadequate

· You know when you have too much because you will develop loose stools. (The amounts in this article are quite large as they are dealing with addictions, increase your intake gradually to determine your daily tolerance)

· Vitamin C is water soluble so any that you do not use will be eliminated.
