16-Year Harvard Study Finds Single Vitamin C Pill Would Save 300,000 Lives

Annually...

" The study published July 16, 2003 in CARDIOLOGY tracked more than 85,000 nurses

over 16 years found that those taking vitamin C supplements (360 mg) had almost

30 percent lower risk of getting heart disease. The number of deaths from heart

disease every year is estimated at 950,000.

Interestingly, dietary intake of vitamin C seemed to have little effect on

coronary heart disease risk. But if women used vitamin C supplements, their risk

was reduced by 27 percent. "

Vitamin C, Infectious Diseases, and Toxins

by Thomas Levy (Paperback - September 2002)

DOSE DEPENDENT, VITAMIN C CURES DEADLY INFECTIONS, NEUTRALIZES TOXINS...

Citing over 1,200 articles from scientific and medical journals around the

world, Levy shows that many viral diseases such as polio, hepatitis, and

encephalitis have been consistently cured by high doses of vitamin C given

intravenously. While maintaining that lower doses of vitamin C taken by mouth

may have little or no effect on many infections, Dr. Levy adds that high enough

doses administered directly into the blood can demonstrate clinical effects that

border on the unbelievable. He notes that large enough oral doses of vitamin C

can prevent many infections, but intravenous dosing is often needed to cure

infections already contracted.

Hot Topics Vitamin C for SARS " Amazingly, vitamin C has actually already been

documented in the medical literature to have readily and consistently cured both

acute polio and acute hepatitis, two viral diseases still considered by modern

medicine to be incurable. " - Thomas E. Levy, MD, JD

 

Vitamin C has been known to cure over 30 major diseases for over 50 years...

 

" The enormous clinical usefulness of vitamin C remains little appreciated " ...

[FAQs]

 

IS VITAMIN C REALLY A VITAMIN?

IRWIN STONE SAYS NO!

After 40 years research, Irwin Stone unfolds his startling conclusion that an

ancient genetic mutation has left the primate virtually alone among animals in

not producing ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) in his own body. By treating it as a

" minimum daily requirement " instead of the missing metabolite it really is, we

are living in a state of sub-clinical scurvy whose symptoms have been attributed

to other ailments. The answer is to change our thinking about Vitamin C and

consume enough to replenish this long lost " healing factor. " Stone illustrates,

with massive documentation, Vitamin C's remarkable ability to fight disease,

counteract the ill effects of pollution and prolong healthy life -- easily and

inexpensively!

Foundation's Response to the letter to NATURE and alleged DNA Damage

We need your help!

 

 

 

There is a long history to these attacks.. According to Stephen Jeffrey, DDS,

" The ongoing effort to discredit vitamin C began in the 1940s after it was shown

to have anti-viral and antitoxic properties. Certain members of the

pharmaceutical/medical complex, after first promoting vitamin C as a treatment

for fevers and infections, realized that widespread use of this non prescription

substance would cancel the need for developing a lucrative prescription anti

viral drug market.

For this reason, all the scientific trials which have not shown vitamin C to be

of any benefit against viral attacks either shorted the recommended dose or

altered the recommended treatment procedure. Anyone who knows that vitamin C has

been blatantly discredited in this manner should be ashamed to speak of ethics

in order to forestall a proper evaluation of the vitamin's therapeutic

potential. "

A Critique: The Mark Levine Vitamin C paper in April 1999 JAMA " Andrew Weil:

there's now evidence that 200 to 500 mg vit C a day is more than enough to

saturate the body's tissues. " ...

A common mistake is to assume that tissue or blood serum " saturation " indicates

the optimal vitamin C intake. The focus on ascorbate tissue levels and maximum

blood concentrations misses the point -- a point that Linus Pauling made often

-- ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is transformed or destroyed as the body uses it for

a wide variety of metabolic functions. For example, vitamin C is destroyed

during the production of the most abundant protein in the human body: collagen.

Tissue saturation is just the starting point for many pathways that are not

otherwise activated. Cathcart's bowel tolerance seems to be better measure of

each individual's optimal vitamin C intake. As the body needs more of the

vitamin, it absorbs more. [Owen Fonorow]

et. al., JAMA article.
