VITAMIN C L-ASCORBATE
The reason we use L-Ascorbate as our Vitamin C, is that this molecular form of Ascorbate is L-shaped, and it fits exactly to our cells like a puzzle piece, it is 100% assimilated.
Any human completely cut off from Vitamin C will quickly grow sick with scurvy. It takes about 30 days. If they still don't get Vitamin C they will die within 90 to 120 days.
Lucky for us, most other plants and animals on earth make their own vitamin C. Like it or not, we get our vitamin C by consuming them.
Vitamin C is needed for the growth and repair of tissues throughout the body. It helps the body make collagen, an important protein used to make skin, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels. Vitamin C is needed for healing wounds, and for repairing and maintaining bones and teeth.
Vitamin C is necessary to makethe collagen we need to repair our intestines. Without vitamin C, we will become constipated and grow sick. There is NO substitute for the health of our intestines.
Vitamin C deficiency is at the root cause of most diseases today. The only mammals that don't make vitamin C are the human, the monkey, and the guinea pig. It's of the utmost importance to our health that we are flush with vitamin C.
There are many forms of vitamin C but they are all forms of ascorbic acid. The word ascorbate comes from anticorbutic, meaning to fight scurvy, A- (meaning "No") and Scorbutus (Scurvy.) Ascorbic acid is one form of vitamin C. Ascorbate is another form. And yet another form of scientifically made vitamin C is L-Ascorbate. I recommend only L-Ascorbate as a supplemental form because of it's bioavailability to our cells.
Scurvy does not occur in most animals as they can make their own vitamin C. However, humans and other higher primates lack an enzyme (L-gulonolactone oxidase) necessary for such synthesis and must obtain vitamin C through their diet.
Initial symptoms of vitamin c deficiency, and scurvy can be:
Feeling very tired and weak all the time (fatigue)
A general sense of feeling "out of sorts" – such as feeling irritable and miserable all the time
Pain in your limbs – particularly your legs
If you have gotten this far, you have to read this:
Our body microbiome has a very delicate balance. There are 10 times more bacteria in our bodies than our own cells. One course of antibiotics could turn the bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract from predominantly aerobic to anaerobic bacteria. Anaerobic bacteria are fermenting cells and feed predominantly on sugars. When we have cravings for foods like chocolate, or a sweet treat, it is our body’s microbiome commanding us to feed it.
Some anaerobes incorporate mercury into their cell structures, and in the case of candida or even spirochetes from Lyme, these bacteria, and protozoans suspend our body's burden of mercury; they literally protect the organs of the body from mercury. If we kill of this bacteria, the body can have a severe adverse reaction to the released mercury. In the Lyme disease world this is called a Herxheimer’s response, but it really should be called acute mercury poisoning.
There are two kinds of mercury poisoning; chronic and acute mercury poisoning. The one thing that should never be done is to move from a long term chronic state of mercury poisoning into an acute state.
There are different kinds of vitamin c. The ascorbic acid is the most acidic one, and least likely to be absorbed by cells. A buffered ascorbate is a better one, and the best is L-Ascorbate because it is almost 100% absorbed.
Before starting any detox regimen, we need our intestines to be in tip top shape. It is also important to be well hydrated before starting. Initially doing a full ascorbate flush is important, because without having the intestines clear, we mayjust be redistributing toxins. To do the flush I recommend you double your dose every hour, until you flush. Full on flush, not diarrhea, but like both spigots are turned on in the tub. Once your bowels are clean, then when your body has somewhere it can safely send toxins.
Our cells getting filled up with vitamin C is a bit like Christmas for them. Like they are each getting more and more presents in their arms and they’re greedily saying to one another, “Gee this is great. Isn’t this great!” And then one of them goes, “Guys, guys, I can’t hold anymore of these presents (vitamin C)," and it lets loose, and this causes all the other cells to release together. There is literally a cascade of cells dumping their toxins. That's a full flush, when the intestines are releasing ONLY liquid, and it's relatively clear. Nothing coming out but discolored water.
The best product in the world for doing the cleanse, and for our vitamin C supplementation is the L-Ascorbate from Perque, which contains a balanced blend of calcium, , magnesium, potassium, and zinc.
This is the basic protocol for the cleanse.
PIck one of the following doses of L-Ascorbate based upon your needs. Continue following the protocol until the bowels are completely emptied of their contents, then one more teaspoon, and then stop. Most adults will use between 12 and 25 teaspoons.
This protocol is for a child.
1/4 teaspoon every 15 minutes for the 1st hour
1/2teaspoon every 15 minutes for the 2nd hour
1 teaspoon every 15 minutes for the 3rd hour
2 teaspoons every 15 minutes for the 4th hour
If you are going to help your child do a cleanse, you must have done the cleanse previously, so you know what your child will experience. The L-Ascorbate can be added to juice.
This protocol is for a healthy person.
1/2 teaspoon every 15 minutes for the 1st hour
1 teaspoon every 15 minutes for the 2nd hour
2 teaspoons every 15 minutes for the 3rd hour
3 teaspoons every 15 minutes for the 4th hour
This protocol is for a moderately healthy person.
1 teaspoon every 15 minutes for the 1st hour
2 teaspoons every 15 minutes for the 2nd hour
3 teaspoons every 15 minutes for the 3rd hour
4 teaspoons every 15 minutes for the 4th hour
This protocol is for a person that is sick.
2 teaspoons every 15 minutes for the 1st hour
3 teaspoons every 15 minutes for the 2nd hour
4 teaspoons every 15 minutes for the 3rd hour
5 teaspoons every 15 minutes for the 4th hour
When you fully flush your intestines, take one more teaspoon and then stop. You may have a full cleanse after only 6 teaspoons, or it may take you 25 teaspoons, a whopping 100 grams. Most people seem to release at about the two hour mark. When you fully release, take one more teaspoon and then stop. I have never known anyone to go beyond 3 1/2 hours. Maybe you will be the first. The goal is to have the intestines flush as if both spigots were turned on in the tub. A loose bowl movement is not sufficient, nor is runny diarrhea. The discharge needs to be of at least a yellow color with NO solids.
The L-ascorbate cleanse dumps the mercury-toxic bile out of the intestines. By flushing this bile, it allows the body to send the toxins to the intestines. It creates a vacuum, or a void if you will, and you will be training your cells, organs, and systems that it's ok to release the mercury, you will provide it with a safe, efficient place to send it. I describe the relief one has of doing the cleanse as the relief of pulling out the biggest, ugliest splinter you have ever had. It's a wonderful feeling, and I've never known anyone to complain about the results.
