This article highlights the value of Vitamin C in preserving a healthy body. The article in particularly interesting because it explains the underlying bio-chemistry.
Dr. Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, who won the Nobel Prize in 1937 for his discovery of vitamin C, asserted that good health” is the result of ample flow and interchange of electrons in your cells. Poor health results when the flow of electrons between your cells is impaired or poor. Poor electron flow equates with “disease,” and when electrons cease to flow entirely, your cells die.
The oxidation in your body is caused by free radicals involves the loss of electrons. Antioxidants are important because they counter the 'disease causing process' caused by oxidation (loss of electrons) by supplying electrons.
Vitamin C is an important antioxidant according to Dr. Levy, and "perhaps the most important electron donor to maintain optimal electron flow in your cells". Using Vitamin C to combat infectious diseases is not new, yet conventional medicine can be quite resistant to the idea, as this case report shows. Even when the man was on his death bed the hospital was still unwilling to give him intravenous vitamin C, despite the fact they had absolutely nothing left in their own toolkit!
As a critical thinker I am inclined however to question these views for several reasons. Firstly it possible that it was not solely the Vitamin C that made the difference in the case of the patient, and I would suggest, if the value of Vitamin C is that it promotes electron flow, then there are a great many antioxidants. This science seems to basic to be true just for Vitamin C. Why is it not true of all anti-oxidants. I'd also have thought that oxidation is a normal part of body functioning. I get the sense that there is far more to know than this article draws attention to.
