Author Thomas Levy on The Epoch Times today reports “Vitamin C Is the Muscle of the Immune System”. The article reports, “The validity of the scientific data is absolutely inescapable”.
He continues, “A very large body of work, much of it taking place over a half-century ago, has clearly established that the vigorous amounts and administration of vitamin C (often referred to as ascorbic acid) can eliminate most acute infections and promptly neutralize most toxin exposures—including many life-threatening health issues”.
The article provides vital information for those that are interested including, “In addition to its role as the premier antioxidant circulating throughout the body, the scientific literature has clearly established that ascorbic acid can directly promote and stimulate several very important functions of the immune system. These functions include the following:
- Enhanced antibody production (B-lymphocytes, humoral immunity)
- Enhanced interferon production
- Enhanced phagocytic (scavenger cell) function
- Enhanced T-lymphocyte function (cell-mediated immunity)
- Enhanced B-lymphocyte and T-lymphocyte proliferation6. Enhanced natural killer cell activity (very important anti-cancer function)
- Enhanced prostaglandin formation
- Enhanced nitric oxide production by phagocytes”
