Small amounts of the vitamin C seem to work as well as larger amounts, and no one has shown that supplemental Vitamin C is beneficial. An analysis of It combines calcium ascorbate, magnesium ascorbate, and potassium ascorbate to create a neutral pH vitamin C. Taking note of this inconsistency, Drs Steve Hickey and Hilary Roberts decided to investigate the data for a book ("Ascorbate, the science of vitamin C", www.lulu.com/ascorbate). Lisa Mauer, a Purdue University professor of food science; Lynne Taylor, a professor of industrial and physical pharmacy; and graduate student Rebecca Lipasek study deliquescence, a reaction in which humidity causes a crystalline solid to dissolve. The original protocol recommended by Drs Pauling and Cameron involved a 10-day course of IV vitamin C in which the vitamin was given as a slow-drip infusion of 10 grams sodium ascorbate. Pauling was among the first scientists to recognize that it's impossible to attain the therapeutically optimal level of vitamin C by taking the vitamin orally—that is, in the form of the standard vitamin C pills or tablets. They wanted to In Mauer's laboratory, different anti-caking agents were blended with powdered sodium ascorbate, a common form of vitamin C, and were exposed to different relative humidities. According to the Natural Standard (a group of scientists that reviews findings in alternative medicine), there is no clear evidence that vitamin C prevents or cures cancer, cataracts, or heart disease. Nee hoor Kees, die gedachte berust op een hardnekkig en inmiddels lang achterhaald misverstand. It seems necessary to use intravenous (IV) vitamin C.
