Vitamin C is a natural antibiotic
- (among other things)
When I had tetanus and little money, causing Doctors to refuse to
see me, I couldn't get a prescription for Metronidazol, the antibiotic
used to kill clostridia, the tetanus causing bacteria.
By chance I found a web site focusing on the dangers of
vaccinations. I wrote the webmaster saying that if I'd had a tetanus
shot it would have been vastly better than getting the disease since
tetanus kills about half the people who get it.
The webmaster, however, pointed me to a page of hers showing a
study in which vitamin C had been given to chickens which were
then poisoned with strychnine, which is similar to tetanus. None
receiving the vitamin C died nor did they have as severe symptoms
as those not receiving vitamin C. In another study people in
Bangladesh with tetanus were given vitamin C and none had as
severe symptoms, and none died.
I immediately began taking several 500mg. vitamin C with a lot of
water and a couple crackers three or four times a day. I didn't
know how much I should take and hoped the amount I was taking
was about right.
What happened next made all the difference: I got a terrible
toothache from an impacted dental implant. My face swelled. My
vision blurred as the swelling put pressure on my optic nerve, and
the pain was extreme.
I decided to take 15 of the 500 mg. vitamin C three times a day
with a lot of water. It was now almost impossible to eat due to pain
and swelling.
The day after I began taking the large amount of vitamin C there
was improvement: I no longer felt like screaming from the pain. By
the third day the swelling was down and the pain was mostly a
memory.
I was, to say the least, impressed.
Still, I was surprised to find a paper published on the internet by
Dr. Thomas E. Levy saying that vitamin C would be effective
against anthrax and plague used in biological warfare and
comparing vitamin C to well known antibiotics.
I liked the sound of Dr. Levy's disclaimer, "It would be
inappropriate to try to treat the plague with only vitamin C, even
though it’s effect on other bacterial diseases would predict a high
likelihood of complete clinical success in the treatment of plague."
Imagine that, I thought, "likelihood of complete clinical success."
While I wondered whether it could be true I stuck with vitamin C
in relatively high amounts and since then my dental infection has
been under control except for periodic flares due to stress (I've
noticed that the infection makes my hair fall out -- at its worst I am
constantly covered in strands). With each flare (and there haven't
been all that many) I increase my vitamin C intake and shortly
thereafter my hair loss begins to lessen, corresponding with a
reduction in pain and tiredness from the infection.
This makes me think that if you are losing hair you may have a
hidden infection and vitamin C might make a significant difference.
Because there are two very different ways to use vitamin C: taking
a lot to deal with serious disease and infection, or, taking an
ongoing small dose to keep ones immunity strong and protective,
it's important not to confuse them.
To see the protection enhancing qualities of vitamin C, look at a
study that followed 2,000 residents of a rural Japanese community
and found something surprising at the end of 20 years. While the
risk of stroke in those with the highest serum levels of vitamin C
was 29% lower than in those with the lowest serum levels of
vitamin C, the surprising thing was that the risk of stroke in those
who consumed vegetables 6-7 days a week was 54% lower than in
those who consumed vegetables 0-2 days a week. That's nearly
twice the protection from eating foods containing vitamin C.
Another extremely interesting study followed 870 men over 25
years. It found that those consuming more than 83 mg of vitamin C
daily had 64% less lung cancer than those who consumed less than
63 mg per day.
That made me rethink something I read years ago about how eating
carrots reduced cancer from smoking. I so believed it that when I
was driving and saw kids smoking I would stop, park and go over
and tell them about carrots. What is really interesting is that several
of the kids said they had a great aunt or grandfather who had
smoked all the years of a long life, some over ninety years and had
always loved carrots and eaten them, and had not gotten cancer.
Because I associate carrots with vitamin A, it didn't occur to me
that there was vitamin C in carrots and the vitamin C was providing
the protection.
Here's a list of foods containing vitamin C. Do any of the foods
surprise you?

I find it extremely interesting that vitamin C is said to help get rid of
h.pylori which often takes up residence in the stomach and which is
associated with gastric cancer and interferes with vitamin B12
absorption.
I noticed when I was having large amounts of vitamin C and later
Metronidazol that each caused a kind of "clean out" that looked as
if my insides had been wiped clean.
After that I wondered if taking 23 grams of vitamin C a day (two
500 mg vitamin C is one gram) may not have been enough to kill
the tetanus causing clostridia when I am such a large person, six
feet tall and heavy. For the Metronidazol to kill it I had to take the
largest dose there is for three weeks.
It is important to recognize that vitamin C is powerful and can be
used against dangerous things. It is not to be taken lightly. It would
NOT be good to take high doses for prevention.
Illustrating this, one night Jay Leno was talking about some man
who had been on his show tauting the wonders of vitamin C. The
man said he took huge amounts and was planning on living an
extremely long time, and right there on the show, the words barely
out of his mouth, he died.
What I have found is that vitamin C is excellent for dealing with
problems like the infection in my jaw and tetanus. I have been
controlling the infection with vitamin C for a couple years now and
overall I am seldom tired from the infection, though, under extreme
stress I can feel it getting the better of me and beginning to cause
swelling and pain.
But even with all the stress in my life the times that vitamin C stops
controlling the infection are minimal. (I take 9-18 grams a day.)
I am, however, reducing that because of what I've read while
composing this page: in cases of diabetes it has been shown that
vitamin C helps some but harms others. The difference pivots on
genetic makeup and two particular genes, haptoglobin 1 and
haptoglobin 2. The study concluded that those with diabetes should
not take more than 250 mg a day of vitamin C; vitamin C in food
was not associated with increased cardiovascular mortality.
Because so often what is good for one person is not good for
another, it is so important to keep notes when beginning a new
supplement. By keeping notes you give yourself the ability to go
back and see how the substance affected you, expectations aside.
It is sad, literally sad, that drugs are prescribed for everyone as if
anyone with a particular health problem is the same as anyone else
with that problem, even though within each study of a drug there
were people who did not improve from its use or indeed had
adverse reactions.
It is sad that we are encouraged to trust doctors 100% rather than
being encouraged to pay more attention to our own health and to
keep notes so that we effectively have our own personal study of
how each supplement and medicine that we take works for us (or,
against us).
Three other studies:
In the Nurses' Health Study premenopausal women with a family
history of breast cancer who consumed an average of 205 mg/day
of vitamin C from foods had a 63% lower risk of breast cancer than
those who consumed an average of 70 mg/day.
In the Swedish Mammography Cohort women who were
overweight and consumed an average of 110 mg/day of vitamin C
had a 39% lower risk of breast cancer compared to overweight
women who consumed an average of 31 mg/day.
In the Vitamin C in the Human Stomach Study vitamin C in
gastric aspirate and plasma were measured in 73 patients
undergoing endoscopy. Vitamin C concentrations were significantly
lower in those with hypochlorhydria and there was a correlation
between gastric juice and plasma concentrations. Patients with
normal endoscopic findings had significantly higher intragastric
concentrations of vitamin C than those with gastric cancer,
pernicious anaemia, gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer, or after gastric
surgery.
Think about how easy it is pare the skin off an apple, halve and
avocado, or scoop the insides from a kiwi. It's much easier than
going in for a flu shot, and MUCH easier than getting the flu. Give
yourself the small amount of time to do these little things for
yourself. You will benefit not just from the vitamins in natural
produce, but from the moments of relief from stress.
And, keep notes. In my case, I kept notes on the dental infection
and on tetanus as they were affected by the vitamin C I took.
Prior to that I had found that by taking vitamin C a cold sore went
away in less than a day, always.
You can order vitamin C on line. It's a little further than half way
down the page.
And then, there's this:

And then, there's this:
The Journal of Nutrition published a study in October, 2006
showing that vitamin C boosted immune response and that a
deficiency increased "lung pathology" in male mice that were
given the influenza virus.
The finding is important because Bird Flu is increasing

Linus Pauling Institute Recommendations
The Linus Pauling Institute recommends a vitamin C intake of at
least 400 mg daily—the amount that has been found to fully
saturate plasma and circulating cells with vitamin C in young,
healthy nonsmokers (13). Consuming at least five servings (2½
cups) of fruits and vegetables daily may provide about 200 mg of
vitamin C. Most multivitamin supplements provide 60mg of
vitamin C.

After reading that genetic makeup impacts whether
vitamin C helps or hurts in diabetes I began to see
this picture of Linus Pauling, the man who made
vitamin C a household word by publishing his
studies of its chemical-medical-nutritional
properties, and his wife, Ava Helen, differently.
I began to wonder if her genetics were such that
while vitamin C kept her husband looking young, it
prematurely aged her -- she had been his student
when they met.

Ph and Cancer - a low ph (potential hydrogen) is found in people
with cancer. A low ph is acidic. While it may seem that ascorbic
acid (Vitamin C) would cause an acidic condition, in fact the
reverse is true. Ascorbic acid has an alkalizing effect. See a list of
Foods with an alkalizing effect.
