This is not a question but a testimony This year 2019 in August I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, blood clot, tumor and inflammation in my brain. I started changing my diet through eating lots of vegetables and took 5g to 10g a day. In Oct I had another MRI and surprisingly all my illnesses are gone. I believed that Vitamin C helped me healed.

My neighbor asked me for advice:he was scheduled for amputation for his badly infected shoulder:Had spent a year on antibiotics to no avail. ONE WEEK of vitamin C I gave him and they canceled the surgery!! (I also gave him some vitamin D)

[PatrickBateman]

So Dr Pauling was right. When I take heavy doses of C I feel so much better. Less anxiety, less blues, more energy, etc. I am writing from Canada.

[a.maya]

From Mexico. Such a cleaver, well informed, logical, Integrative person who happens to be not a medical doctor... All medical doctors should be so passionate about what they do for others as you are.

Three times my appendix was screaming big time. In each case I took a large amount of vitamin "c" and that resolved the problem. I also, long long ago, used vitamin "C" to fight colds and flu, but only when they occurred. Each time, things got better and better. Then, the outcome of this was having no more colds nor flu for several decades. Over those years, the worst case was having to blow my nose, once.

This video is a God send and I know your info is true because I noticed some changes within two weeks of taking Vitamin C. I started taking Vitamin C because of all the Corona mess going around. I noticed my mood is not as sluggish I feel like getting up early and moving around And I purchased a treadmill several months ago and I started having a sore tailbone but AFTER consuming Vitamin C over two weeks no more soreness praise God ! I will continue to observe the other benefits as I go.

This is my second video I've watched of yours and I'm very impressed. I see these are older videos. I hope you are still making videos. I am a respiratory therapist and you nail it so hard on the head about doctors not knowing a lot of things. Same with respiratory. They have no real hands on experience. They don't do the amount of training as we do in respiratory either. I see so many incorrect things done by them.

I want to continue watching your videos as for myself, i have leaky gut mix with new new allergies ( from the leaky gut). All started from a long term Infection that was over looked. I was a top athlete and only ever been sick 2 times my whole life, until age 35 when this all happened. Then this all happened. Now I'm extremely malnutritished, even with me eating healthy. I'm on glutamine just recently ( I watched that video. Thank you!!!) And taking vitamins. I hope to repair the issues. I'm backing off my workouts to let my body heal. I've also been having repeated SIBO because of it. I want my health back. I'm researching as much as possible. This has been a 3 yr terrible journey, until functional medicine started to direct me in the right direction

Super great video! This might help some people. I suffer from cold sores. I used to get these when under stress, usually about one every 3 months. They were quite bad - always in the same place. I tried EVERYTHING. The blister usually lasted about 4/5 days and would damage my lip. This would take another 7 days to repair the skin - so basically 2 weeks from start to finish. I started a vitamin C flush program and was taking initially about 15/17 grams before saturation. Now I'm down to 4 grams daily. I've had 1 outbreak in a year. This lasted for 1 day. It was a minor bump and didn't even damamge my skin. The vitamin C obliterated it. Oh and as a bonus, I've never been sick or even had a cold in this time while everyone around me has been ill. Trust me, I was usually the first person to be ill. Vitamin C IMO is a miracle treatment. The RDA for vitamin C is useless for me. I believe you've got to take it in grams to get its benefits.

Very impressive! It's refreshing to find such a credible source of information. Too many of these channels are focused on "production" glitz so not to lose viewers attention. How about taking the time to watch a real doctor who is clearly passionate about his field. Just subscribed - great job Doc!

[Grace-mvlf]

This video is by far the most informative on when, what and how to take Vitamin C.
Viewers should pass it on. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[carolined]

Had flu symptoms took vitamin c every half hour got up to 4 grams before the tolerance was reached. Took 1000mg each time in fresh carrot juice. Worked great. Also took friendly bacteria that also shook off feeling of flu.

My experience with Vitamin C is huge, this Liposomal Vitamin C which you can search youtube and you will find out how its made, my friends dad was about to go to surgery for tumor (wasn't defined if cancer or not) in his throat which caused him to loose his voice completely, I made liposomal Vitamin C for him he consumed it twice a day for 3 weeks, got his voice back no surgery needed and he is still with his voice up to today which is 4 year later.

[patrickbangura]

I just buy vitamin c table's today 2 12 2019 and youtube show me a video of vitamin C, okay may the almighty god bless every is watching this video ameen from France Paris.

First I'd like to say...I really like your mission statement. I appreciate your time making these videos to help the average person understand the often confusing world of vitamins, minerals, co factors, amino acids & their function in our bodies including neurological influence.
I know many benefits of vit c already but I didn't know of it's importance in the role of dopamine. I have ADHD and after years of having stimulant medication and a decade of extreme stress, night shift Im dealing with digestive anxiety, sleep issues . Now I have to run or do something cardio everyday because if I don't I get fluid retention feel toxic inflammation in previous injuries. I can't during these times handle any stress because mentally I just can't deal with anything. It hurts to think I feel like I have a bad hang over . There were years of emitting really strong ammonia and I was diagnosed with osteoporosis at the age of 48. When I fractured my ankle and couldn't run or move at fast enough pace to flush through the toxicity, I just felt hideous and depressed. I supplement with high strength krill oil magnesium vit D3 and K2 nac has helped somewhat with the brain toxic feeling but it's getting expensive trying all these supplements . I've been a guinea pig for so many amino acids too.
I've just brought some rhodiola to experiment with the fatigue and overwhelm I'm struggling with now plus the vitamin c. I have high cholesterol but it is more likely because I have a diet that leans towards chocolate or sweet foods. I rarely eat refined carbs or processed takeaways. I don't drink but I have the ADHD reward seeking in the form of chocolate and coffee 3 per day. I'm just feeling like my body is starting to breakdown and I'm so used to being physically fit and strong even my back makes crunching sounds when I'm lying down and roll over or something. Yes blah blah I don't know what I'm asking really . just good advice that you don't get from your GP .

Great video as always, I just have one question. is vitamin C exactly ascorbic acid ? as I've been told ascorbic acid is only a component of vitamin C

[josedeliz]

Excellent discussion on Vit C. Especially for kidney stones and cancer suppression through immune system strengthening.

[FrostyBud]

I JUST DID A CLEANSE TODAY. it took 24 grams ( 1 teaspoon every 15 min for and hour, then 2 tsp after that every 15 min till watery stool!) I FEEL GREAT! This worked even better than Magnesium oxide (global healing centers Oxy Powder). I flushed sooo good! pure water almost at end! I feel great, and MY BOWELS NO LONGER HURT TO THE TOUCH (like they did yesterday!. This and querecetin (thorne quercetin phytosome) have helped my pain more than anything
