Another BRILLIANT post, mejbcart!

One quick reminder is olive leaf to help restore vitamin C -

Thank you Sally for this link! I admire Dr. Levy a LOT!!! This ascorbic acids story was actually inspired by his interview in all the health classes I'm attending online for so long by now..

with all the aluminum sky writing that goes on nowadays, have been wondering about the kids will be developing dementia issues at ever earlier ages

The best toxins are close homologues to proteins essential for healthy eukaryotic function.

Drouin, Godin, Pagé. (2011) Current Genomics, 12, 371-378 371; The Genetics of Vitamin C Loss in Vertebrates

"Whereas the GLO gene mutations in fish, anthropoid primates and guinea pigs are irreversible, some of the GLO pseudogenes found in bat species have been shown to be reactivated during evolution. The same phenomenon is thought to have occurred in some Passeriformes bird species. Interestingly, these GLO gene losses and reactivations are unrelated to the diet of the species involved. This suggests that losing the ability to make vitamin C is a neutral trait."

Thanks for this link mentioning the other few non-VitC producing species in addition to the pigs, mentioning bats...

When one reads:

"Compared to other genes, the GLO gene is therefore “predisposed” to being lost because it makes a single compound unnecessary for other pathways."

and then :

"This is reflected by the fact that the human daily recommended intake for vitamin C (60 mg) is the highest among all vitamins [8, 9]."

and while knowing, where that commission, deciding about the 60mg:

https://www.fao.org/fao-who-codexalimentarius/committees/cac/about/en/

comes from, while seeing what wonders VitC actually does, when given in GRAMS, I have to say, yet another, quite a deception (again), this time from :

Interesting. I long ago paid attention to the work of Dr. Linus Pauling and the multiple studies that highlight the distinction between a minimal dose ostensibly to prevent the onset of a clinical deficiency disease (mgs), and a physiological amount to support wider well being (Gs). However, I have yet to properly reconcile the discussion around a fat-soluble mechanism of ingestion (liposomal anchored C) with the physiologically water soluble means, which one instinctively gravitates towards.

Thoughts gratefully entertained?

The first citation you provided kind of indicates I should look into most of the other vitamins too, AND to go to the vitamin store and finally get good multivitamins:) I did also look into Paulings work, and forgot most of it if it was not for the EDTA stories, which indicate good hope for AZ...

Definitely the liposomal form for a water soluble molecule will make huge difference, possibly some of the VitC transporters are actually anchored in cell membranes, didn't check that out yet.. The more of the VitC binding, the better, alone when looking at the suffering cancers patients..

Thank you for your comments.

Hi,

can you help me to understand better your mention of citric acid? CA has an extra molecule of oxygen or there’s another atom of oxygen in the molecule, so do you mean to say that it’s more effective than L-ascorbic acid? Thanks in advance 🙏 for responding.

I started using EDTA rectally as you recommended on another thread. I use about 2/3 calcium disodium EDTA and 1/3 glutathione. Do you know how much time it should take before I see some results/improvements?
