| Vitamin C |
Since the body cannot manufacture Vitamin C, it must be obtained through diet or supplements. Unfortunately, most of the Vitamin C consumed in the diet is lost in the urine.
For cancer, Vitamin C would be more effective when given intravenously rather than to take high doses orally and IV must be under the supervision of a physician. If you take aspirin regularly, use an esterified form of Vitamin C and take it separately from the aspirin. If aspirin and Vitamin C are taken together in large doses, stomach irritation can occur and could possibly lead to an ulcer.
Diabetic medication such as diabenase or sulfa drugs may not be as effective if taken with Vitamin C. Taking high doses of vitamin C may cause a false- negative reading in tests for blood in the stool (guaiac test). Ester-C is a remarkably effective form of Vitamin C especially for those suffering from chronic disease such as cancer,& AIDS.
Also, Ester C is being incorporated in cosmetics as one of the
ingredients to prevent wrinkles. Avoid using chewable Vitamin C supplements, as these can damage tooth enamel.
Smoking causes a serious depletion of Vitamin C. Alcohol, analgesics (pain reliever meds), antidepressant, oral contraceptives, steroids, and anticoagulants may reduce the level of vitamin C in the body. I think most of you knows the sources of Vitamin C, so I don't have to mention it anymore.
