Nutritional Suggestions For Health, Addressing Oxidative Stress, Coronavirus, And Essential Nutrients

Nancy Addison — Mon, 06 Apr 2020 13:10:19 +0000

“Some physicians would rather stand by and see their patient die

than use ascorbic acid,

because in their finite minds it exists only as a vitamin.

Vitamin C is the safest substance available to the physician.”

– Dr. Frederick Klenner

Although all nutrients and minerals are important for optimum health, there are a few nutrients that are critical for good health and a strong immune system.

The coronavirus, as well as other harmful bacteria or viruses, like the flu, are most deadly for people whose immune system is weak. Nutrient-dense foods and supplements can be a way to strengthen and build a stronger immune system that can support overall health and well-being.

Vitamin C is one of those essential nutrients that is at the top of the list for helping to prevent and/or treat numerous health conditions. It is considered essential because our body does not make it and we must obtain it from a food source. It is also a water-soluble nutrient that should be in the diet on a daily basis.

When it comes to infections or a virus such as the flu, it is accepted that vitamin C is part of the immune response and quickly becomes depleted. It helps by encouraging the production of white blood cells that fight disease, by attaching themselves to and killing all of the invading microbes.

Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant, which is a nutrient that chemically binds and neutralizes the tissue-damaging effects of substances known as free radicals. Vitamin C it is critical to the growth and health of bones, teeth, gums, ligaments, and blood vessels. Vitamin C enables the body to efficiently use carbohydrates, fats, and protein.

Quite a few in-depth studies have shown the efficiency of Vitamin C to prevent and treat many diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, polio, dementia, age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and cataracts, viruses, comas, scurvy, and the common cold.

Vitamin C supplements can also reduce the blood levels of lead, mercury, arsenic, and cadmium. These toxic elements have no physiological benefits and can cause great harm.

Vitamin C plays an important role in how our bodies handle physical and emotional stress. With everything that is going on worldwide with this Covid-19 pandemic, many people are feeling stress and anxiety, especially if they are watching mainstream news.

Vitamin C is needed by the adrenal glands to synthesize hormones, and the normally high levels of ascorbic acid in these glands are especially depleted during high-stress situations.

Unfortunately, many vitamin manufacturers that create Vitamin C don’t make Vitamin C in a way that the body can utilize properly. Many of the Vitamin C’s on the market have damaged this fragile vitamin by using techniques with heat, steam, or high pressure grinding. The manufacturers frequently add fillers, additives, and preservatives, which totally deplete the raw materials of all nutritional value. They are commonly synthetic or simply not the quality that the body can use. Synthetic or damaged Vitamin C supplements that are manufactured in this way have little or no effect on the body, because the body does not recognize them as
Vitamin C, but as a mixture of harmful toxins in need of elimination.

Scottish physician James Lind (1716 – 1794) was a pioneer of naval hygiene in the Royal Navy. Having observed the preventive and curative powers of citrus fruits and lemon juice during his years as a naval surgeon, he wrote a treatise recommending their mandatory consumption by British sailors for scurvy prevention and better health.

Then in the 1900s, the meticulous work of Hungarian-born researcher Albert Szent-Györgyi isolated and identified Vitamin C and documented the metabolic mechanism that enables its use within cells. He was recognized with a Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1937.

Vitamin C really came to the forefront of the public’s attention in the 1970s, when two-time Nobel Prize-winning scientist Linus Pauling published “Vitamin C and the Common Cold.” He had used five to ten grams of Vitamin C a day to help fortify the immune system.

As I have researched further, I have read work by Dr. Thomas E. Levy
(a cardiologist and lawyer), who has used Vitamin C in various forms in his practice. He believes in its incredible healing power so much that
he wrote a book on the subject that medical doctors now use as a guide for their practice. They also can use it in court, if they are questioned or accused of using unsubstantiated medical methods on their patients.

In “Curing the Incurable: Vitamin C, Infectious Diseases, and Toxins,”
3rd Edition by Thomas E. Levy MD JD, he states that the three most
vital factors required to get the most from Vitamin C are: “Dose, Dose, Dose!” He believes vitamin C to be the most powerful antibiotic. (Click here to hear his talk on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0x8CxUKDrc)

According to Dr. Levy, the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for Vitamin C is 60 mg, which is fine for dietary purposes. But, to get the maximum benefit of this natural anti-microbial, anti-toxin, anti-oxidant we all need much more.

He has researched, cited, and documented work by “Dr. F. R. Klenner, Reidsville, N.C., which is where much of the documented research on Vitamin C emerged.

Dr. Frederick Klenner conducted studies for Viral Pneumonia and treated it with Vitamin C. He documented his treatment for Viral Pneumonia infection in 42 cases over a five-year period. The excellent results
were due to his remedy of Vitamin C IV’s (ascorbic acid) given in large amounts.

When a diagnosis of Viral Pneumonia was entertained, the patient was given 1000 mg. of Vitamin C intravenously every six to twelve hours.
If a diagnosis was established in the home, the usual initial dose was
500 mg. given in the gluteal muscle.

Dr. Klenner also treated polio-myelitis during the 1948 epidemic.
For seven years he treated these polio-myelitis virus infections
and cured them in a period of seventy-two hours, by the employment
of massive frequent injections of ascorbic acid, or vitamin C given I. V. They were given intravenously because the injection was thus made painless and the response was faster.

In infants and very small children however, 500 mg. injected into the gluteal muscle every six to twelve hours was the method of choice.

“In almost every case, the patient felt better within an hour after the first injection and noted a very definite change after two hours. Nausea was relieved by the first injection as was the headache.“

Vitamin C is found in various fresh, organic foods, including citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons, limes, and grapefruit; in green vegetables such as watercress, parsley, spinach, broccoli, and cabbage; and in tomatoes and potatoes.

Food processing may degrade or destroy Vitamin C, as can exposure
to air, drying, salting, cooking (especially in copper pots), or processing. (Freezing does not usually cause loss of Vitamin C unless foods are stored for a very long time.)

In modern times, access to fresh fruits and vegetables is common, rendering full-blown cases of vitamin C deficiency relatively rare. Cases are normally limited to isolated elderly adults, and usually men whose diet is limited to foods lacking in Vitamin C, as well as to infants fed reconstituted milk or milk substitutes without a Vitamin C or orange juice supplement. Those with certain illnesses, such as AIDS, cancer or tuberculosis, surgical patients, and those exposed to long periods of cold temperatures can also suffer from Vitamin C insufficiency.”

Dr. Klenner made Vitamin C IV’s his common practice for treating almost all, if not all of his patients. He would have his staff give his new patients a Vitamin C IV first thing, sometimes even before he examined them.

Dr. Levy has taken the study of Vitamin C supplementation further, and now believes we can use various forms of Vitamin C to saturate the cells and tissue, which is read by the body as glucose.

Dr. Levy says to avoid potassium ascorbate and calcium ascorbate.

On page 131 of Dr. Levy’s book “Primal Panacea,” he writes “My clinical experience with Altrient C liposome-encapsulated Vitamin C suggests that the clinical impact of liposome-encapsulated Vitamin C may even exceed the clinical impact of intravenous Vitamin C for some acute infections.”

Liposome C is currently the form of Vitamin C that Dr. Levy likes best because it can be absorbed well. He says that Liposome C in a dose of 5 gm is equivalent to 50 gm of Vitamin C in an IV solution. Dr. Levy advises to “take as many forms (meaning IV, Oral supplements, and fresh fruits and vegetables) of Vitamin C as possible”

He says that Oral Vitamin C can help neutralize toxins in the gut.
He goes on to say that Vitamin C will help get a lot of bowel problems resolved and give probiotics a chance to re-establish themselves in the gut, which is where the majority of our probiotics (which make up the immune system) reside.

According to Dr. Levy, acutely ill patients all have a different oxidative stress load, which is what he says causes most diseases. But the basic principle of pushing the Vitamin C level high and keeping it high, even if you don’t resolve the infectious disease or you don’t resolve the chronic disease with this first Vitamin C IV, it will still help the patient to feel better and put them on the road to better health.

There are numerous studies that prove that an incredible number of diseases are mediated by oxidative stress in the body. Antioxidants may play a pivotal role in preventing or slowing the progression of diseases.

Antioxidants have also been seen to reduce the development of asthmatic symptoms and oxidative stress. Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and Beta Carotene are all antioxidants. Supplementation of these has been associated with improved lung function.

In addition to taking Vitamin C, I have been taking a supplement for the past few years that has been proven to reduce oxidative stress in the body by 40% in 30 days. (I take it along with Protandim NRF 1 and NAD, which I think makes it provide even more health advantages.)

(My link for the supplement is: https://nancyaddison.lifevantage.com/us-en/)

These 3 supplemental technologies (Protandim Nrf2, Protandim Nrf1 and NAD) are all clinically shown to protect against viruses.

NAD stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. It is a molecule found in every cell in the body. NAD is used to power your metabolism by enabling the mitochondria, which provide the power of the cell, which in turn converts the food we eat into the energy our body needs to sustain all its functions.

NAD is a bacteria nutrient, B 3. NAD was researched by David Sinclair of Harvard, when he started studying resveratrol (an antioxidant in red grapes and red wine) and it’s anti-aging effects. His lab made headlines by reporting that the mitochondria in the muscles of elderly mice were restored to a youthful state after just a week of injections with NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide), a molecule that naturally occurs in cells and, like NR, boosts levels of NAD.

Studies show that NAD fuels the activity of sirtuins, including SIRT3. Sirtuins are a family of proteins that regulate cellular health.
Sirtuins play a key role in regulating cellular homeostasis.

Homeostasis involves keeping the cell in balance. What studies are showing is that the more NAD there is in cells, the more SIRT1 does beneficial things. One of those things is to induce formation of new mitochondria. When NAD activates SIRT3, this is thought to keep mitochondria running smoothly

In conclusion, eating one medium orange will provide almost double the daily amount of Vitamin C at 70 mg, and two medium tomatoes will hit the goal at 20 mg each.

Dr. Levy says that in tests, Vitamin C has worked against every virus, if given in a sufficient concentration.

Dr Mike Skinner, a virologist at Imperial College London, says we won’t know Vitamin C’s value against coronavirus for some time, and says the dose being tested is ‘massive’. ‘They’re doing the trials now.

The addition of Vitamin C, in its many forms, is incredibly beneficial for restoring health to the body.

Dr. Levy stated that adding some magnesium to the body is also very important, as the body is commonly low in magnesium as well. You can do this by taking a magnesium chloride flake bath or using topical cream.
In this way you can give your body some good tools to use in order to create better health.

Kombucha Recipe And It’s Health Benefits For The Immune System

Nancy Addison — Thu, 06 Oct 2016 03:24:31 +0000

I made a fresh batch of Kombucha today! You can purchase kombucha at the healthy grocery store, but I find it easy and kind of fun to make at home. Here is my recipe for homemade kombucha.

Why would you want to drink kombucha?

Kombucha is a naturally fermented liquid. This fermentation process creates healthy bacteria, which is also known as probiotics. Kombucha is a probiotic (healthy bacteria) rich beverage that therefore supports the immune system. Our immune system is made up of healthy bacteria and about 80% of that is in the gut. When we drink a fermented drink, like kombucha, we are providing more beneficial, healthy bacteria to our immune system. Kombucha supports digestion. This is because of its high levels of beneficial acid, probiotics, amino acids and enzymes. The ancient Chinese called kombucha the “Immortal Health Elixir!”

Even though kombucha can be a little sour tasting, I think it is delicious. I ferment my kombucha for about 2 weeks to a month, then I refrigerate the liquid. Then it’s time to start making my next batch.

Kombucha Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 gallon sized glass jar
• 1 cup organic raw sugar
• 4-6 bags organic black tea.
• Kombucha – it’s called a “Scoby” ((symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast)
• 1-2 cups of starter kombucha liquid (This is the liquid I save from the last batch of kombucha I made. I always put my scoby in a new jar with at least a cup or more of the fermented liquid from the last batch. I never let it dry out or be without some of the fermented liquid.)
• non-chlorinated, non-fluoridated, mineral rich water
• cheese cloth, enough to cover the jar top easily. (I use the cheese cloth to cover the top of the jar. It needs to breathe when fermenting.)
• one large rubber band that will fit around the jar rim.

Directions

1. Boil at least 4 or 5 cups of the non-chlorinated water.

2. Combine the boiling water and the organic black tea bags. Then let it steep for an 30 minutes or an hour.

3. Add the sugar to the tea mixture and stir to dissolve. You can add it when the tea is warm and it will disolve easier. Remove the tea bags, when the tea is cool.

4. Fill the glass jar most of the way with the cooled tea and sugar mixture.

5. Gently place the the kombucha scoby and starter liquid to the jar.

6. Then add more purified, non-chlorinated water, until it’s almost full. You want to leave about 3- 4 inches from the top for breathing room.

7. Cover with the cheese cloth and secure it with the rubber band.

8. Set the jar in a warm place, just out of direct sunlight.

9. Do not disturb the kombucha for at least 2 weeks.

10. After about 14 days you are ready to taste the mixture.

11. Use a straw and gently insert the straw just under the edge of the Kombucha scoby and try a sip. If it’s taste is sour, then it’s ready. It it’s taste is sweet, you will need to let it ferment a few more days and taste it again. Do a taste test every few days, until it has a sour or tarte taste. This sour, tarte taste means it’s feremented.

12. When it’s ready, pour the liquid into jars and refrigerate it.

13. I drink about a cup on a empty stomach in the morning. This is too strong for some people.

Note, some people put a little ginger root chopped up in the fermenting liquid.

You can experiment with yours and see what you like to do to create more flavor or variations.

Scoby’s get worn out after about 6 months. I get a new one about every 6 to 12 months.

You can order them over the internet.

Have A Healthy Heart, The Benefits of Being Vegetarian

Nancy Addison — Mon, 22 Jun 2015 01:40:15 +0000

This was my father, who died when my daughter was barely two.

He never lived to see his grandchildren grow up.

That doesn’t have to be you.

This article tells you how you can easily prevent and even reverse the effects of heart disease.

Heart Health

The Benefits of Being A Vegetarian

Today is Father’s Day.

My father had heart disease. The picture above, is a picture of him with my daughter and my mother. I miss him.

Heart Disease is the leading cause of death of men in the United States. Over 307, 225 deaths per year of men in the United States, that is 1 in every 4 male deaths. Half of the men who die suddenly have had no previous symptoms. Heart disease kills 1,100 women a day. One in every 4 deaths a year are from heart disease. My own father had a heart attach when I was in college. He survived it, but I don’t think he ever fully recovered. That was a major reason that I changed the way I eat and live. Because of this being Father’s Day, I am going to address heart disease.

I’m a vegetarian and wrote the book, “Years ago, I took a Cornell University course on the plant-based diet. Dr. T. Colin Campbell, who participated in the China Study and wrote “The China Study” and Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr. M. D. who wrote “Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease” were two of the professors that taught the course.

Dr. T. Colin Campbell as well as Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn (a former surgeon, researcher and clinician at the Cleveland Clinic, -known as the number one heart clinic in the world) believes that by changing the diet, heart disease can be completely cured and prevented. In our class Dr. Esselstyn explained that cardiology has only focused on treating the symptoms and not the cause.

Dr. Esselstyn explained that a plant-based diet with only a minimum of limited/low healthy fats can not only prevent and stop progression of heart disease, but also reverse it. He explained that his scientific studies show with irrefutable scientific evidence that by changing to a plant based diet, heart disease can be prevented and the epidemic eradicated.

His drew evidence in his results testing with his own patients. He taught that despite the treatments the patients had already received, like bypass surgery or angioplasties, 5 of the original group of 17 had been told by their physicians that they would probably only have about a year to live. Of the group of 17, there had been at least 49 cardiac events leading up to this study.

Dr. Esselstyn’s 20 year clinical study comprised of 17 compliant patients on his plant based/low fat diet program the health improvement was dramatic. The patients cholesterol dropped, their anginia symptoms and blood flow improved dramatically. Within the 12 years, his 17 patients had no further cardiac events. The patients that stuck with the program survived beyond 20 years, free of symptoms. Anglograms taken of the patients showed a widening of the coronary arteries thus, a reversal of the disease. This study showed one of the most profound drop in cholesterol ever documented in a medical study.

So, if you think that heart disease just happens and that there is nothing you can do about it, then try switching to a plant based / low fat diet and see if that would work for you. It is a lot easier than you think. It just takes a new mindset, a few guide-lines, good recipes and a will to do it.

Last year was my 40^th high school reunion. One of my classmates who had heart disease was told by his physician, that if he switched to a plant based diet he would never have to worry about having a heart attack again. He bought my book and has made some changes to move toward a plant-based diet.

I am so happy for him. Here is what he said about my book, “Two years ago I had a quadruple bi-pass, and my cardiologist told me that if I changed to a plant based diet, I would never have this problem again. Being from Texas, I grew up on meat and potatoes, and I was not compliant with his advice. I came across Nancy Addison’s book and it made perfect sense to me with the simple and understandable approach. I’m started off dropping all animal meat, including chicken, which has as much unhealthy fat as steak. Within a month I dropped 17 lbs, just doing that. My system is functioning a lot better, I’ve added more fruits and vegetables, and doubled my energy. I haven’t given up seafood, but maybe down the road I will take the next step. Brava Nancy for getting me to take the first step, and helping me create a new, healthier life!!!!!”
– Ben McKinley – Naples, FL

So, in closing, what we eat in life is a choice. If you have heart disease, you may think about how the food you are eating is directly affecting your health.

I think of everyone who receives my newsletter as my dear friend and I love keeping in touch with you and adore hearing from you. Today, I am sending you big hugs and blessings for a healthy, loving heart this February and may you have a wonderful month full of health and love.
