Ester C vs absorbic acid for heat disease

Post Number:#1  Post by DiverDown2 » Fri Dec 20, 2019 2:01 pm

Is it still best to use Absorbic acid instead of Ester C for the extra Vitamin C in Pauling's Protocol or is it still best to use Absorbic acid?
I take Tower Labs. Heart product 4 scoops daily, equal to 6 Grams Vitamin C and 6 grams L-Lysing, is it best to get the other 10 to 12 Grams Vitamin C from Absorbic acid or Ester C?

Sounds like you are reading! Yes, we have reversed our assessment on the general vitamin C value of Ester-C, from unfavorable to favorable, and have verified that people who cannot tolerate ascorbic acid due to sensitive stomachs can tolerate Ester-C.

The problem is that our 20-years of experience with heart disease and the remarkable recoveries are all with products based on ascorbic acid. So there is an unknown here. We'd feel better after receiving the same type of reports in people taking Ester-C. In theory, there is probably little risk substituting Ester-C for ascorbic acid, e.g., if a person has trouble taking ordinary vitamin C.

The more interesting question is whether or not to take glucose with vitamin C in general. The same source that recommends Ester-C informs us that glucose is required to drive vitamin C (and other nutrients) into cells. This is why raw honey is recommended with a much lower dose of Ester-C for the immune system, ostensibly to make it easier for the vitamin C in Ester-C to enter white blood cells. The same technique may help ordinary vitamin C work better - for the immune system. (Inquiring mines want to know.)

The vitamin C value in heart disease may be both inside of cells, but also in the blood stream. We know from Pauling's first case report that while vitamin C may arrest the disease, it won't reverse it (without adding lysine). Vitamin C is required for the body to make collagen, and thus prevents scurvy (and chronic scurvy).

Thanks for the reply,
I have started adding 1 G. Ester-C to the 20 G. total I take daily, which includes now 5 Scoops Heart Tech + enough Ascorbic Acid to make the 20 G. total of Vitamin-C, 9 G. L-Lysine + 3 G. L-Proline, Plus Unique E and 400 mg. of Ubiquinol and all of the others you recommend.
