The article I was looking for related to
Vitamin C
- and particularly -
intra- venous.... high dose - Vitamin C treatment.
All mammals produce viatmin C ...24hrs a day...7 days a week
With the
EXCEPTIONs of.......
1)- us (Human Beings)
- we are missing in the manyfacture of just - one enzyme - in our metabolism
- that would have allowed us to - make it - in house - so to speak
2) Guiea Pigs
3) I think from memory a very small number of others (Highly man bred manipulated) and perhaps a bat or two.
The only way get Vit C - is via eating it in our diet (& we use it extensively...& unfortunately as water soluble we lose it quickly too).
........................................................................................................................
What happens when a mammal gets sick,
- it's Vit C production goes through the roof
(It fignts just about any and all infections)
- handy for any residual Kidney/other infection??
What happens when an animal gets stressed - its Vit C production rockets up
(It neutralises oxidative stress)
- Handy for removal of residues from a physical/mental/medical stressed body ??
After long chases/hunts - yep vit C gets pumped out copiously
(Vit C a potent anti-oxidant)
- Removal of all the body's natural "burn't energy waste" ??
Snake/poisonous insect bites - again vit C surges into the blood stream.
(Breaks down toxins...and helps detoxify them out the body).
- Medical intervention normally leaves the saturated in toxic residues ??
- a ill weakened body, weakened immune system and lack of Vit C...gives an overtaxed body little chance to detoxify.
There are a lot more etc's - but you get the picture - as they say.
.......................................................................................................................
In addition - Vit C - is literally essential in cellular energy production and movement of glucose into cells and removal of waste products out the cells.
- energy is essential - to fighting infection/illness and cell/tissue regeneration
(Vit C shown to boost... neural, liver, heart and other cell regeneration)
Waste products actually do not go back into the blood for removal by the liver etc...they are removed by the lymphatic system
- guess what is essential in mobilising the lymph (No heart to pump the lymphatic)
- Right again Vit C.
(a detoxified body - is a healthy working fighting body ??)
.......................................................................................................................
Tissue regeneration
As you know - skin cells are continually shed and replaced with new ones, blood cells are broken down by the spleen every few weeks and replaced with new ones.
- in fact after a year - you have virtually
- a brand new body
- with cells having been broken down & replaced (regenerated)
- (Vit C proven benefits on many organs/cells).
........................................................................................................................
I am sure that you can see so far - why I wanted to bring up this information
-
Vit C
- kills virtually all infections (in high enough dose)
- aids tissue healing/regeneration
- neutralises odidative stress residues
- aids detoxification
- boosts energy production to fight infection/disease & detoxify.
- aids mobilisation of the lymph system
etc etc
........................................................................................................................
NB - this is all a condensed Precis (&....from memory)
However moving on....
Vitamin C would seem "the facilitator"
- to a vasy array .....of bodily defences & processes
There is a problem tho'
- the body will only absorb a finite amount of orally ingested Vit C (Also called Abcorbic Acid) ....at any one time
- and an unwell person with already almost fully depleted vit C levels
- will probably only absorb orally - less that the body needs to effectively "stand still"
-
hence the only realistic way to recharge the body adequately & effectivly is intra-venously
- and generally an average person - can handle TENS of full grammes ..per day
- with nothing other than.... beneficial effects
(ie not milli-grammes....doses - multi full gramme doses)
Reduced kidney function - would probably have to be considered as being
- "less than - the average person" re any hypothetical dosage/ treatment.
........................................................................................................................
The link I am searching for - gives case histories
- diseases/illnesses succesfully treated and recovered
(Smallpox, TB, Mercury poisoning right thro' & Up to the Big C)
- as well as peer reviewed/published papers.
........................................................................................................................
Another problem - Mainstream medicine..... & even the FDA
are moving heaven and earth
- to stop .......production/use of the megadose - intravenous treatments
http://blog.friendseat.com/fda-bans-herbs-intravenous-vitamin-c-minerals/
- so anyone considering such treatments would probably have to seek out
- private clinics
I hope the above gives an insight into the subject and that it perhaps engenders your interest to seek out further information perhaps
-
but I will post the link ......(as soon as I find the damn thing :o)
........................................................................................................................
Please note - anyone... reading this.
I have no medical qualifications.. of any kind,
- no medical training.. of any kind
- and nothing at all ....that qualifies me in "any way"
- to give any advice or opinion on such matters
- discussed above
