Liposomal vitamin C is said to be more readily absorbed than conventional vitamin C tablets. Did you know you can make your own?

http://BestZapper.com Have you ever wished you could get the many health benefits of high-dose intravenous (IV) vitamin C at home, at low cost? Discover a cheap and simple way to multiply the effectiveness of oral Vitamin C. One gram of this simple megavitamin C can do the work of up to 8 grams of pure vitamin C by intravenous injection! Wellness expert Arthur Doerksen shows you how to make it in your kitchen in less than 10 minutes. The iSonic P4810 ultrasonic unit is recommended. Check Amazon. Amount to Take: Start with one ounce a day, increase if needed. IMPORTANT UPDATE - Remember to soak the lecithin granules for 3 - 4 hours before blending with the Vitamin C. With liquid lecithin, use 50% less, no soaking required. Liposomal Encapsulated C Recipes SINGLE RECIPE: 1 cup water plus 3 tbsp lecithin (soak 3-4 hours, stirring occasionally) 1/2 cup water plus 1 tbsp ascorbic acid DOUBLE RECIPE: 2 cups water plus 6 tbsp non-GMO lecithin. (soak 3-4 hours, stirring occasionally) 1 cup warm water plus 2 tbsp ascorbic acid USP. Mix well to dissolve fully. TRIPLE RECIPE: 3 cups water 9 tbsp lecithin (57g) (soak 3-4 hours, stirring occasionally) 1.5 cups water 3 tbsp ascorbic acid (45 g) 4x RECIPE: 4 cups water 12 tbsp lecithin 75 g (soak 3-4 hours, stirring occasionally) 2 cups water 4 tbsp ascorbic acid 60 g METHOD: Put both liquids into blender and blend at high speed for at least one minute. Pour into ultrasonic cleaner and run for at least 6 minutes. Longer is fine if you wish. Stir with a large plastic straw or spoon while running the ultrasonic cleaner. Pour into a clean glass or HDPE container and refrigerate. Notes: 1. The heater on my ultrasonic cleaner (iSonic 4820) seems to cause the lecithin to form a sludge right over the heater area on the bottom of the cleaner tank. I do not use the heater any more. 2. You can try pure sodium ascorbate powder if you wish. It is not quite as strong, but gives a buffered vitamin C result with no acidic taste. The taste is distinctive, but fine for most people.

Vitamin C is a very effective antiviral if you use enough of it. Robert Cathcart, M.D., explains why, in detail.

We are continuing to explore a revolutionary change in intensive care medical treatment, whether done by doctors in ICU and emergency rooms or self-administered at home. It is an embarrassing simple protocol of natural agents that out muscle pharmaceutical alternatives in terms of safety, effectiveness and low cost. Many of these agents are already quietly...

Higher dietary intake of vitamin C has been found to have a potentially preventative effect on cataract progression in the first twin study of cataracts to examine to what degree genetic and environmental factors influence their progression with age.

Studies in the 70’s appeared to show an extraordinary survival gain in terminal cancer patients with vitamin C, a simple, relatively nontoxic therapy.

Sorry for the cliffhangers, but all will be revealed. It’s too important of a topic to not take a serious dive into, and so a single video could never do it justice. Stay tuned for Vitamin C Supplements for Terminal Cancer Patients (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/vitamin-c-supplements-for-terminal-cancer-patients) and The Role of Vitamin C in the Treatment of Terminal Cancer (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-role-of-vitamin-C-in-the-treatment-of-terminal-cancer). You’ll notice I sometimes take slight departures from just covering strictly nutrition topics (like my Do Antidepressant Drugs Really Work? http://nutritionfacts.org/video/do-antidepressant-drugs-really-work/ video). I don’t seek such topics out, but just run across them in my nutrition research and can’t help but get sucked down the rabbit hole. I really wish there were other sites like this that would do evidence-based reviews of these important topics. In fact, there should be a dozen more just on nutrition! LifestyleFacts.org (http://www.lifestylefacts.org/) is one attempt at covering other lifestyle medicine topics, and I know Dr. Mark Faries (http://fitnesspudding.com/) is considering doing something with ExerciseFacts.org. To facilitate this movement to provide us all with free, unbiased, science-based resources, I’d be happy to share the nitty gritty inner workings of NutritionFacts.org, in terms of how to get journal access, how to create the videos, etc. In fact, if there’s enough interest I may even do like a day-long seminar or something, but it would be limited to those who are seriously interested—it’s no small undertaking!

Since bacterial biofilm may contribute to the secondary contamination of food during the manufacturing/processing stage there is a need for new methods allowing its effective eradication. Application of food additives such as vitamin C already used in food industry as antioxidant food industry antioxidants may be a promising solution. The aim of this research was evaluation of the impact of vitamin C (ascorbic acid), in a range of concentrations 2.50 µg mL−1–25.0 mg mL−1, on biofilms of Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Listeria monocytogenes strains isolated from food. The efficacy of ascorbic acid was assessed based on the reduction of optical density (λ = 595 nm). The greatest elimination of the biofilm was achieved at the concentration of vitamin C of 25.0 mg mL−1. The effect of the vitamin C on biofilm, however, was strain dependent. The concentration of 25.0 mg mL−1 reduced 93.4%, 74.9%, and 40.5% of E. coli, L. monocytogenes, and S. aureus number, respectively. For E. coli and S. aureus lower concentrations were ineffective. In turn, for L. monocytogenes the biofilm inhibition was observed even at the concentration of 0.25 mg mL−1. The addition of vitamin C may be helpful in the elimination of bacterial biofilms. Nonetheless, some concentrations can induce growth of the pathogens, posing risk for the consumers’ health.

It saddens me to see older women diagnosed with "osteopenia" or "osteoporosis" listening to their doctors and taking supplemental calcium and even problematic drugs called bisphosphonates. These are irrational, dogmatic, harmful approaches to the problem of degrading bone as we age
