Guest guest Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 MEDICAL DOCTOR CONFIRMS: VITAMIN C CURES BIRD FLU The best presentation I have ever seen on just how vitamin C megadoses prevent and cure avian influenza is posted for free reading at the website if Robert F. Cathcart, M.D.: http://orthomed.com/bird.htm These online articles may also be of interest: Flu vaccines are largely ineffective: http://www.jrussellshealth.com/fluvacc.html Bird Flu Background and Relation to Vitamin C:http://www.newmediaexplorer.org/sepp/2005/10/08/avian_influenza_are_you_prepared.htm Bird Flu Dangers Greatly Exaggerated:http://www.newmediaexplorer.org/sepp/2005/10/19/bird_flu_in_perspective_public_fears_exaggerated.htm VITAMIN C MYTH-BUSTERS Is some clown still trying to tell you that vitamin C is somehow dangerous? Or that you shouldn’t take more than 200 mg/day? There is an excellent summary article you will want to read at http://www.seanet.com/~alexs/ascorbate/misc/ascorbate-lies.htm And here’s some more really good news for all you health nuts who every day try so valiantly to convince friend, foe and family to take their vitamins: NEW VITAMIN C SAFETY STUDY "Ascorbic Acid is a generally recognized as safe (GRAS) substance . . . Mice given Ascorbic Acid subcutaneous and intravenous daily doses (500 to 1000 mg/kg bw) for 7 days had no changes in appetite, weight gain, and general behavior; and histological examination of various organs showed no changes. Ascorbic Acid was a photoprotectant when applied to mice and pig skin before exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. . . . Pregnant mice and rats were given daily oral doses of Ascorbic Acid up to 1000 mg/kg bw with no indications of adult-toxic, teratogenic, or fetotoxic effects. Ascorbic Acid and Sodium Ascorbate were not genotoxic in several bacterial and mammalian test systems, consistent with the antioxidant properties of these chemicals. . . These data coupled with an absence of reports in the clinical literature of Ascorbic Acid sensitization strongly support the safety of these ingredients." (PMID: 16154915) (Elmore AR. Final report of the safety assessment of L-Ascorbic Acid, Calcium Ascorbate, Magnesium Ascorbate, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Sodium Ascorbate, and Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate as used in cosmetics. Int J Toxicol. 2005;24 Suppl 2:51-111.) CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE DECREASED BY VITAMIN C "(T)here was a 27% decreased prevalence of coronary heart disease and a 26% decreased prevalence of stroke among those in the highest serum vitamin C category. In the NHANES I Epidemiologic Follow-up Study, it was found that the highest intakes of vitamin C had a 25% to 50% reduction in cardiovascular mortality." (Simon, JA et al. Serum ascorbic acid and cardiovascular disease prevalence in U.S. adults. Epidemiology, 1998;9:316-321.) VITAMIN C DOES NOT CAUSE KIDNEY STONES Curhan, G. C., Willett, W. C., Speizer, F. E., Stampfer, M. J. Intake of vitamins B6 and C and the risk of kidney stones in women. J Am Soc Nephrol 10:4:840-845, Apr 1999. "The relation between the intake of vitamins B6 and C and the risk of symptomatic kidney stones were prospectively studied in a cohort of 85,557 women with no history of kidney stones. . . Large doses of vitamin B6 may reduce the risk of kidney stone formation in women. Routine restriction of vitamin C to prevent stone formation appears unwarranted."

When I got run down enough to get viral pneumonia, I took 2,000 mg of vitamin C every 6 minutes. It lowered my fever 3 degrees in 3 hours, and stopped a cough that codeine could not. Read on an marvel at how this is possible.)
