Guest guest Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Hi Bee, A self-proclaimed nutritionist was advising against consuming ascorbic acid in a WAPF forum that I belong to. I do not trust his statements because he has a vested interest in Standard Process products. The following is what he stated: Though I would never ever never recommend ascorbic acid as it is NOT vitamin C but a poor anti-oxidant portion of the whole complex and it a gut irritant amongst other things. Get the whole deal from Standard Process, or acerola berry, or rose hips, that includes the biolflavanoids, and cyruta plus by standard process is the gold standard for bioflavanoids. Yes, ascorbic acid does work in the short run, much like cold meds help you " feel better. " But no real tissue nutrition, sorry to say. And the facts are right there for anyone to see, ascorbic acid is ONE, thats right, ONE step away from glucose, sugar. I have seen many elderly people who have been religious about ascorbic acid use have horrible degenerative illness and cancer. So, reality check yes, it works and has SHORT TERM BENEFITS, and all anyone has to do look is look at this from reality, from the facts. And the facts include direct evidence it works in the short run, but it will not and never has cured scurvy, go and see for yourself. ------------------------------- I feel the need to respond to warn other WAPF'ers, but I do not know enough about VitC to initiate a debate. How would you respond to him? With your permission, I would like to send your response to my WAPF forum. I trust your research. All I know to say is that degenerative illness and cancer are not caused by taking ascorbic acid but by poor health and toxins from the environment, drugs and foods we ingest.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Hi Bee, I have just read your recommendations for vitamin C. Todays information does not chime with that on your website. I am currently following the website advice. Should I change my protocol to your new one which explains that too much ascorbic acid is not good for the stomach? Here is your information - " Ascorbic acid powder or crystals are much less expensive to take than vitamin C tablets. If you wish to take ascorbic acid, take 3,000 mg per day and 1,000 mg vitamin C tablet, which is a total of 4,000 mg vitamin C per day.

" > http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/supp1.php#ad +++Hi , The advice above is because it is less expensive, but it is okay to take less ascorbic acid and more tablets, as long as you are getting a total of 4,000 mg per day with a minimum of 1,000 mg in tablet form per day. You don't have to change your protocol, but you can if you wish. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
