Vitamin C and Ascorbate Information

Vitamin C – what the heck is this stuff? We hear about daily dose of Vitamin C, we hear of foods containing vitamin C, we wonder “Is vitamin C good for you?“; we even hear that you can vitamin c overdose which leads to the questions, “How much vitamin C should I take?”

We also hear the term Ascorbic Acid. This leads to the question of what is the best form of vitamin C.

Vitamin C is a catch all term which actually relates to Ascorbate.  Our bodies used to produce it internally. A recent Scientific American Article speaks of finding the gene, now dormant, which used to allow us to produce our own. We are among a very small number of mammals on this planet that do not – and this relationship to heart and cardiovascular health is quite interesting.  Much of what causes the conditions which many of the diseases that we see today are actually the body attempts to handle other problems that stem directly from hypoascorbemia (Hypo (meaning too little of and ascrobemia related to the word Ascorbate)  Most of us have heard of scurvy. We tend to associate it with sailors of old getting the disease due to lack of certain types of nutrients (actually it was vitamin C). What is surprising is that, today, the VAST part of the population has sub scruvy. When you study the symptoms of scurvy and then see how this relates to many of our current disease epidemics, you begin to see a picture.

Ascorbate and other miraculous nutrients are amazingly simple to obtain yet are ignored by the VAST number of the population.

Einstein, a Nobel winner, said that, “if you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.” He also said, “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.”

Please keep in mind that I am not a doctor and cannot treat, prescribe, or counsel individual health concerns. However I can and will, through my own study and that of others, help point the way to basic, and often simple, methods that each of us can use to control our own health. It is in our hands – this is the truth. You place that responsibility into anyone else’s hands but your own, and you are giving him or her the keys to your fate.

Non Optimum Health is a Sign.

As we see our health deteriorate, we are simply seeing signs that some underlying situation has gone awry.  This does not happen quickly but occurs over a wide period of time.  There are some incredibly easy, and vitally important nutrients that you should be getting which your body absolutely requires to arrest the decline and even reverse the damage. This is simply a matter of supplying the body with what it needs. Just as a builder can not do his or her job without the proper building materials on the jobsite, our bodies can’t do what they are programmed to do without the basic, the proper, and ALL the ingredients.

These Amount to What is Called “OrthoMolecular Medicine“.

Most people believe that genetics or bad luck gave them diseases for which the only treatments are drugs and surgeries.  As a result, organized medicine will sell an estimated three-trillion-dollars worth of drugs and surgeries in 2010.

Look around at the increasing rates of cancer, heart disease, obesity and it is obvious that drugs and surgeries are not the solution to our medical problems;  each year more, not fewer people die slowly (and expensively) from pharmaceutically and surgically-treated diseases.

The cold hard reality is that if you are not giving your body the essentials that it needs, it is in a slow but sure spiral downward towards conditions of less health.

The body is a remarkable creation. It is a self-healing machine – when it has the essential building blocks with which to repair. One very remarkable quality of our bodies is that they tend to go on, even when there are developing underlying perils. The body becomes weaker and weaker, often without the notice of its owner (you), until it reaches a threshold. At that point a disease or some non-optimum condition springs forward in full view. We tend to believe we “just got” sick – but the truth is that the condition has been there for long periods of time and only now becomes obvious.

Your body, unless it is getting what it needs, is deteriorating.

Your body tries to do make do with limited resources. But, just as the sand eventually leaves the upper chamber of the hourglass, your body runs out of options and you find yourself with a sick body.

You Become Sick!

We see many signs of this, however. The body gives signs. Aches and pains, overweight, odd blood sugar levels, lack of energy are all signs that the body is sliding down this slippery slope to levels we dare not consider.

It is a long term process This does not happen overnight. And, for sure, the reversal of this is not an overnight process either. Like an investment in one’s financial future, the proper investment into ones body health is something that should be undertaken. And, just as with financial investing, it is best to start early.

But, it is NEVER too late!

The Story of ASH

In 1997, at the age of 53, land developer Barney Folger  of Marietta, Georgia, was being scheduled for his fourth heart surgery since being diagnosed with heart disease in 1990.

To fully understand what was going through Barney’s mind after being told by his cardiologists that they needed to operate on his heart again, one must appreciate the months of agony associated with post-operative recovery. Rather than endure another heart surgery, Barney put his clothes back on and went home. The last words from his cardiologists after he fired them and walked out the door was, “You could die, Barney.”

Through his research he discovered the works of Nobel Laureate Dr. Linus Pauling, Nobel Laureate Otto Warburg, Dr. Keith Brewer and others. Their common thread was “Orthomolecular” medicine which is the study of health through nutrition at the cellular level.

Barney is more alive today than ever and desires to share his life changing discoveries with others. He founded Advanced Scientific Health (ASH) in October 2002 and it has  become a global membership organization dedicated to the education and implementation of the ever expanding orthomolecular health knowledge base founded on research and discoveries of nobel prize winning doctors and scientists.

People Join Ash to Save Their Own, or a Family Member’s, Life

Eventually, as each sees the results and learns why these formulas work, most decide that they have a responsibility to at least make sure others are aware of these marvelous, scientifically proven methods. Nowhere are the discoveries of these eminent scientists so throughly combined into simple, readily absorbed formulas.

So Much Rests in Your Own Hands

By making a decision you can begin to learn what you need to know to take charge of your own health.  Knowledge, Control and Responsibility go hand in hand. You increase one and the other two must and will increase accordingly. If you want to take responsibility for your own health, or anything else for that matter, then you must increase your knowledge. You’ll find that your control and responsibility will increase as a result.  It is inevitable. This datum can be appliked to any area of your life.

People who join Advanced Scientific Health (ASH) improve their health through their knowledge of and their use the ASH formulas.

We Joined to Find Our Own Simple yet Thorough Health Solution.

After our wins, since 2007,   I decided to start this web site to promote the information regarding health. I wanted to help folks find their own paths to understanding their own bodies and their own health. ASH was started in 2002 by a few like-minded and dedicated individuals. That original purpose is my guidance and the reason I am running this website. I want everyone to see this, and know this, and take action to reverse the spiral.

When you join ASH, You Will Become a Researcher Like Us.

You can then begin to take control of your own health.  You will do your own research on your health and how to improve it. You will join the ASH Health Information calls every Saturday.  You can call in and ask questions from other researchers or just listen. Eventually, along with your health, your knowledge will skyrocket. And you, like us, will be feeling the urge to let everyone know about this. Wouldn’t it be great to not only improve your own life, but to, very likely, save the lives others – those you know – and even those that may not yet know.

What a win, win, win, win, win – situation!!!
