Book Review: A Great Case for Megadosing on Vitamin C
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been a taker of nutritional supplements for about 30 years. And while I've usually taken an average of 500 mg a day, this book opened my mind to the amazing benefits that may be experienced by increasing that amount to anywhere from 3-15 grams.
I was initially attracted to this book because there has been quite a bit of heart disease in my family history, and this book promised to show a way to stop or even reverse it.
Citing over 650 scientific references, it becomes quite clear that vitamin C is probably the most essential nutrient to include in a supplementation regimen, and should be included in very generous amounts. The author's description of the "ungelling" of the "intercellular glue" of the body's blood vessels due to a lack of vitamin C makes perfect sense. He skillfully weaves in the similarities among different manifestations of vitamin C deficiency (such as gum disease or catarats) and explains how a toxic overload to the body can both cause or exacerbate a tremendous deficiency of this important vitamin.
Even more amazing was the discovery that high cholesterol may often be caused or increased by a lack of vitamin C, due to its ability to assist in de-toxification when there is a shortage of vitamin C to do the job.
By addressing different factors known to contribute to atherosclerosis one at a time, the author consistently arrives at the conclusion that the most common denominator contributing to overall health and well-being is an abundant supply of vitamin C. We all heard this from Linus Pauling years ago, and he lived to be in his 90s. Yet this book put together all the research, both on humans and on animals, to create a very compelling case for taking megadoses of vitamin C daily.
This is not a book the drug industry and traditional medicine will be happy to see. There is simply too much money to be made selling dangerous pharmaceuticals and performing expensive, traumatic and risky surgeries. However, the evidence is there, and anyone who wants to take more control over matters of their own health should read this book.
I know that vitamin C is one supplement I will be taking a lot more of from now on.
