Clinical Guide to the Use of Vitamin C

A Few Quotes

He reminds us of Hippocrates. He felt that of several remedies physicians would choose the least sensational. Vitamin C meets those requirements.

“Adults taking at least ten grams of ascorbic acid daily and children under ten at least one gram for each year of life will find that the brain will be clearer, the mind more active, the body less wearied, and the memory more retentive.”

Another summary by Dr. Klenner: “I have never seen a patient that Vitamin C would not benefit.”

He discovered the tremendous therapeutic power of Vitamin C to aid the immune system, to act as an antihistamine, and to neutralize toxins. Again, let us not forget what comes through after examining all these published reports: “Vitamin C should be given to the patient while the doctors ponder the diagnosis.”

"Sick Care" America Resorts to Borrowing Money to Pay for Disease

By: Mike Adams

(NaturalNews) America has crossed a new, disturbing threshold with the announcement that Obama's new health care plan will borrow money to pay for health care. In real terms, this means that sickness and disease in America will now be financed on credit.

This is a new "disturbing threshold" because it signals the beginning of a monumental mistake: The borrowing of money to invest in disease rather than health.

None of this borrowed money, you see, will actually go to teach people about the natural medicines found in fresh foods. Nor will it set free the knowledge about medicinal herbs and nutritional supplements that the FDA has fought so hard to suppress. No, this money will be used for one thing: To mortgage America's future for the benefit of the drug companies while the health of the people deteriorates even further.

Should You Take Vitamin Supplements?

An article in the current Journal of the American Dietetic Association (June 2002;102:818-825) suggests that individuals frequently exceed safe nutrient levels when they take vitamin supplements.

An earlier study from the Harvard School of Public Health showed that popping a pill can't erase the health effects of a poor diet and a sedentary lifestyle. The researchers found substantial data to suggest that higher intakes of folic acid, vitamin B6, vitamin B12 and vitamin D will benefit many people, and a multi-vitamin will ensure an adequate intake of other vitamins for which the evidence of benefit is indirect.

There is no question that supplements can compensate for some of the damage that we do to ourselves. However, my experience is that many, if not most, people use the supplements to justify their poor choice of foods.

Why Vaccines Aren't Safe

Do you really know what’s in a vaccine? Does your doctor? And are they truly safe? These are just a few of the questions addressed in this well-researched and presented video.

You’ll learn revealing truths, such as the fact that most pro-vaccine studies are supported by money from the pharmaceutical companies, and hear a medical doctor discuss how a vaccine he gave his own child resulted in autism.

The Big Deal about Vitamin C

by Phillip Day

Dr Linus Pauling, known as the 'Father of Vitamin C' and twice awarded the Nobel Prize, declared that daily intakes of vitamin C aid anti-cancer activity and assist in repairing damaged arteries and removing arterial plaque (atherosclerosis). Pauling was largely derided for making these declarations (he lived to be 94!) but today, large doses of vitamin C complex are used by many doctors to great effect who believe Pauling was right and that the popular nutrient is indispensable to the body in its fight to regain or maintain health.

The Benefits of Wheatgrass

Excerpts from The Wheatgrass Book by Ann Wigmore

WHEATGRASS JUICE

Read the full article here.

Increases red blood-cell count and lowers blood pressure. It cleanses the blood, organs and gastrointestinal tract of debris. Wheatgrass also stimulates metabolism and the body’s enzyme systems by enriching the blood. It also aids in reducing blood pressure by dilating the blood pathways throughout the body.

Stimulates the thyroid gland, correcting obesity, indigestion, and a host of other complaints.

Restores alkalinity to the blood. The juice's abundance of alkaline minerals helps reduce over-acidity in the blood. It can be used to relieve many internal pains, and has been used successfully to treat peptic ulcers, ulcerative colitis, constipation, diarrhea, and other complaints of the gastrointestinal tract.

Is a powerful detoxifier, and liver and blood protector. The enzymes and amino acids found in wheatgrass can protect us from carcinogens like no other food or medicine. It strengthens our cells, detoxifies the liver and bloodstream, and chemically neutralizes environmental pollutants.

Fights tumors and neutralizes toxins. Recent studies show that wheatgrass juice has a powerful ability to fight tumors without the usual toxicity of drugs that also inhibit cell-destroying agents. The many active compounds found in grass juice cleanse the blood and neutralize and digest toxins in our cells.

Contains beneficial enzymes. Whether you have a cut finger you want to heal or you desire to lose five pounds...enzymes must do the actual work. The life and abilities of the enzymes found naturally in our bodies can be extended if we help them from the outside by adding exogenous enzymes, like the ones found in wheatgrass juice. Don't cook it. We can only get the benefits of the many enzymes found in grass by eating it uncooked. Cooking destroys 100 percent of the enzymes in food.

Has remarkable similarity to our own blood. The second important nutritional aspect of chlorophyll is its remarkable similarity to hemoglobin, the compound that carries oxygen in the blood. Dr. Yoshihide Hagiwara, president of the Hagiwara Institute of Health in Japan, is a leading advocate for the use of grass as food and medicine. He reasons that since chlorophyll is soluble in fat particles, and fat particles are absorbed directly into the blood via the lymphatic system, that chlorophyll can also be absorbed in this way. In other words, when the "blood" of plants is absorbed in humans it is transformed into human blood, which transports nutrients to every cell of the body.

~From the author~ This stuff is GREAT! I tried the juice today. It smelled like fresh cut grass and tasted sweet. You can sample it at Marlene's Market and Deli in Tacoma. They gave me about a teaspoon but a little went a long way. I noticed a difference almost immediately. I had a mild headache but shortly after drinking the Wheat grass juice my headache subsided. It is definitely something I plan on incorporating into my diet in the near future. Enjoy!

Cancer - 650,000 Lives Miscalculated

650,000 deaths avoided -- not necessarily

Posted By: Jon Barron

When it comes to cancer, we live in very barbaric times what with doctors choosing to cut, burn, and poison it out of your body. A hundred years from now, people will be appalled when they read how we treated cancer in 2009. And in fact, some very interesting therapies such as vaccinations that stimulate your immune system to fight cancer are in testing and right around the corner. The future may be closer than we think. But for now, the medical community is doing so badly. As the study itself points out, cancer still accounts for more deaths than heart disease in persons younger than 85 years of age. It is only by distorting the numbers, as we have seen, that the medical community gets to claim 650,000 lives saved...

Natural Remedy to prevent split ends

One of the greatest English hair dressers, who has worked at Buckingham Palace in his capacity as Hair Dresser to the Court, has devised a method which has been tremendously successful.

This method, like all really big things, is simplicity itself. It consists merely in soaking the tips or ends of the hair in a shallow bath of olive oil before retiring, twice a week, and then drying the hair thoroughly in a warm towel. The hair can then be put up in a loose braid, or else confined with a ribbon, so as to prevent tangling.

If this treatment is kept up for six months, the tendency of the hair to split will be gone. This has worked in hundreds of cases, some of which have resisted almost every other method of treatment.
