There’s another way to get vitamin C into the body, dripped directly in the vein. Does that actually do anything? See:
• Intravenous Vitamin C for Terminal Cancer Patients (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/intravenous-vitamin-c-for-terminal-cancer-patients)
• Vitamin C Supplements for Terminal Cancer Patients (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/vitamin-c-supplements-for-terminal-cancer-patients)
• The Role of Vitamin C in the Treatment of Terminal Cancer (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-role-of-vitamin-C-in-the-treatment-of-terminal-cancer)
For those of us who prefer to get vitamin C the old-fashioned way, through the mouth, and in foods rather than supplements, the question becomes What is the Optimal Vitamin C intake? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/what-is-the-optimal-vitamin-c-intake).
For those considering taking oral vitamin C in supplements instead, make sure you watch this video first: Do Vitamin C Supplements Prevent Colds but Cause Kidney Stones? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/do-vitamin-c-supplements-prevent-colds-but-cause-kidney-stones)
