I have absolutely no sense ofhumor left when it comes to large companies and their money makingschemes. It is a case of expecting the worstand then investigating the reality in light of that. Normally the planets align and a perfectproduct emerges and a perfect market niche is developed. Otherwise we are gaming the imperfect andmaking it pay.
That aspartame should ever bepartnered with vitamin C is outrageous. I personally buy vitamin C in the form of calcium ascorbic in order toprovide a naturally buffered form. I buya kilo at a time and I consume several grams at a time in a glass of water withan additional heaping teaspoon of orange flavored Metamucil mixed first withthe vitamin C powder. It actually tastesbetter than either do individually and mixes easily.
I consume as much as the gooddoctor.
What is stunning are the claimsbeen made here that the vitamin positively affects over one hundred conditions,including a number of cancers. Vitamin Cis already indicated for everyone because of simple mammalian biology (we aremissing the gene). This stronglyindicates that we all should be consuming ten to twenty grams daily dependingon body weight. The body will have nodifficulty though in disposing of any surplus.

Serious Questions About Pharma
Could the suspicions be true?

Marcia Angell, M.D., former editor-in-chief of the NewEngland Journal of Medicine, looked at pharmaceutical companies’ profitsin the Fortune 500 list of the world’s most profitable companies. She foundthat the top 10 pharmaceutical companies’ combined profits exceed the combinedprofits of all the 490 remaining companies!
A new, unproven anticancer drug can be very expensive.
If the NHS objects to a physician using this drug, U.K. newspapers thatprint what pharma asks them to print will go to bat for thephysician against the NHS and the U.K. government, launching half-page photosof a sorrowful mom surrounded by a grieving family she is doomed to leave isshe doesn’t get the new wonder drug.
People who never walk the dog will jog to raise money for the cause.
Vitamin C truths are excluded from U.K.
Is it possible that nutrients that are naturally present in thebloodstream and essential for life could make one feel sick when taken assupplements?
Trapped overnight in an airport without my vitamins, I had no optionbut to buy the only vitamin C tablets available. Without my 20 grams a day, Iget boils and colds and my chest wheezes. Ten grams won’t do.
So I bought 500-milligram (one-half gram) tablets of vitamin C. Aftertaking five, I was sick. My friend told me the same thing happened to him whenhe bought glucosamine to treat his arthritis. That set me thinking.
Who makes the supplement tablets? Pharma! With such vast profits fromdrugs for our ailments, doespharmacy want prevention?
I noticed that aspartame was in the vitamin C tablets I bought at theairport. I wondered: If I were a doctor working for that company, knowing thatvitamin C cures, prevents, or delays 100 diseases on which my profits depended,how would I protect my company’s profits and my multimillionaire lifestyle?
I’d think it essential for good public relations to offer pleasantvitamin C tablets. But not TOO pleasant! So I would combine extra bitterbioflavonoids in the tablet along with a considerable amount of aspartameneeded to render the tablet acceptably sweet.
The aspartame would do its work. Nobody would take more than theadvised number of tablets on the label. My profits would be secure.
How much aspartame is legal? There’s no actual limit—onlythe recommendation that you don’t drink more than so many cans of soda perday. Would it stop a manufacturer putting half of that amount into a tablet?I’ve never seen a weight listed on a label.
The 1977 CardioRetinometry article written for the London
The arthritis drug market is worth billions of dollars. Now whatwould I put in glucosamine tablets to discourage people from using them?
Your Heart Is Slowly Dying From Chronic Scurvy
- Dr. Gifford Jones Sunday, October 21, 2007
Why is research that could save countless lives unknown to Canadian andU.S.
This week, a report that Dr. Sydney Bush, an optometrist in Hull , England
It’s been said that the eye isthe window to the heart. It’s the only part of the body through which doctorscan see arteries and veins during an eye examination. This allows doctorsto see changes in retinal vessels, the result of aging,hypertension, diabetes andatherosclerosis. And it’s been believed for years that blockages in arteriesdue to cholesterol deposits could not be reversed.
Dr. Bush decided to do more than look into the eye. In 1998 he startedto use a technique called “CardioRetinometry” at his eye clinic in Hull , England
CardioRetinometry photos could also pinpoint collections of cholesterol depositsin retinal vessels. Bush states that he could see a fine, white line, similarto a silver wire, running down almost every artery of adults who had high cholesterol.
But a chance encounter occurred that would reshape his thinking aboutcoronary heart disease. While taking photos of the retina Dr. Bush wasalso prescribing 3,000 to 10,000 milligrams of vitamin C to treat certain eyeproblems.
To his surprise he discovered that this amount of vitamin C resulted inchanges in retinal arteries. Cholesterol deposits decreased in size,arteries became larger and there was increased blood flow to the retina. Proofthis was happening was staring him in the face.
And what happens to arteries in the retina also happens to arteries inthe heart.
What does all this mean? Few people realize that animals manufacture vitamin C,but humans do not. For instance, goats produce 13,000 milligrams of vitamin Cdaily.

Humans lost this ability during the course of evolution. This is whycats never died of scurvy during voyages to the New World while sailors succumbed to this disease.
Dr. Linus Pauling, two-time Nobel Prize winner, whom I haveinterviewed, extolled the virtues of vitamin C. He claimed that although humansno longer die from scurvy, they are nevertheless suffering from inadequateamounts of vitamin C.
So why is vitamin C so important in preventing retinal disease andheart attack? Brick walls are held together by strong mortar and weall know what happens if mortar starts to crumble. Cells, on the other hand,are glued together by collagen and vitamin C is necessary to manufacture andmaintain its strength.
Pauling believed that the heart dies from a silent form of scurvy. In effect,inadequate levels of vitamin C weaken collagen, which is not good news forcoronary arteries as they face the greatest pressure when the heart beats. Theend result is injured arteries and heart attack.
Linus Pauling’s theory about coronary attack and now the findings ofDr. Bush compliment each other. Namely, a lack of vitamin C triggers heartattack and an excess of C guards against it.
The great irony is that British physicians, rather than looking at DrBush’s research with an open mind, have criticized his work. It may be the oldstory that new, revolutionary ideas, contrary to current medical thinking,often collect dust.
I’ve not yet had time to visit Bush’s clinic in England
Each year millions of North Americans die from coronary attack. Surelyit’s time for heart specialists and ophthalmologists to take a lookat Dr. Bush’s research. They may decide that our heart is not healthy until theeyes say so.
