The cancer should have killed Dr. Linus Pauling decades earlier…
…Or at least that’s what he claimed.
Instead, he kept on going until he was 93. How?
“I have to attribute my health at this point largely to my intake of vitamins and minerals,” Dr. Pauling said shortly before he died. For almost 30 years, he took mega-doses of Vitamin C. 18,000mg per day, or about 257 oranges worth.
“We could add an extra 12 to 18 years to our lives by taking from 3200 to 12000 milligrams of vitamin C a day,” he said.
Now that’s an awful lot of vitamin C, so it’s worth making sure…
Can this much vitamin C really can add 18 YEARS to your life?
I didn’t believe it either…
…Until I saw what happened in Great Britain. The study’s subjects averaged 76 years. And they were only supplementing 120mg – hardly Dr. Pauling’s dosage. Even so, this was enough to skyrocket their white blood cells, equalling those of an average 35-year-old.
Another study focussed on elderly hospitalised patients. Somehow, just 30-50mg of vitamin C made their white blood cells biologically younger than young subjects. No wonder Dr. Pauling took so much.
Miraculously, vitamin C seems to turn back time inside the body
Dr. Emmanuel Cheraskin helps explain why:
“Our Stone Age forefathers ate about 400 milligrams a day of vitamin C (by foraging for wild greens and fruit),” he said. “That means normal, healthy people should get at least that much.”
Your body is hard-wired to need vitamin C.
It’s not some “miracle” youth potion.
It’s just something we’ve evolved with. So it’s now an essential ingredient you need to stay young. Just ask James E. Enstrom, PhD. At the UCLA, he conducted a massive study on 11,000 Americans. Just 300mg of vitamin C were shown to reduce cardio diseases 40%.
“A 35-year-old who eats vitamin C rich foods and takes vitamin C supplements will slash his chances of heart disease by two-thirds and live 6.3 years longer,” he said.
2000-3000mg is shown to…
-
Drive up good HDL cholesterol
Discourage artery blocking
Lower high blood pressure
Make blood less sticky, preventing clots
Strengthen blood vessel walls
Reduce bad LDL cholesterol which destroys arteries
Not only that, vitamin C actually regenerates vitamin E, which fights free radicals in the arteries.
“Together, vitamin C and E are the lions at the gates battling in different areas, but in concert, against free radicals,” said Jean Carper, author of Stop Aging Now!
Vitamin C defends parts of your body other anti-oxidants can’t reach
Vitamin C is also water-soluble.
Unlike many other anti-oxidants, it can trap and disarm free radicals in watery parts of your body. Lungs, for instance.
Suppose you were taking 100 milligrams of vitamin C per day. If you only raised this to 300mg, you’d be 30% less likely to suffer chronic bronchitis or asthma. Raise it to 3000, and you’d halve the risk of cancer. Not just in the lungs, but the stomach, breasts, pancreas and oral cavity, too.
That’s how powerful this remarkable vitamin is.
That’s why you really can live 18 years longer…if you start taking it now
But you must take it.
After all, only 9% of Americans eat the recommended 5 portions of fruit and veg per day. 25% don’t even get the rock-bottom 60mg of vitamin C needed for basic cell function.
How to take vitamin C
Vitamin C can’t be stored in the body.
So you need to spread your intake out.
Sweet peppers, cantaloupe, papaya, strawberries, Brussels sprouts, citrus fruits, kiwi, broccoli, tomatoes and tomato juice are all extremely high in vitamin C And you can enjoy these throughout the day.
Meanwhile, try taking two 500-1000mg supplements about 12 hours apart. Once in the morning and once at night.
This replaces your vitamin C as it gets used up.
