Laws of Health Stanford CEF Meeting December 2, 2010

What is Health? Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. World Health Organization, 1948 World Health Organization

Health Can Be Quantified Health has been a nebulous concept. Everybody talks about it. Nobody knows what he ’ s talking about. Now, I propose that we can measure health, and put actual numbers to it.

The Law of Health Taking too much vitamin C causes diarrhea. Taking enough vitamin C to cause diarrhea cures 100 diseases. Amount of vitamin C causing diarrhea is the most accurate and the most reliable numerical measure of your health.

Typical VC Amount to Diarrhea Healthy person 4-15 grams/day Common cold grams/day Severe cold grams/day Flu grams/day Atypical Pneumonia grams/day Robert Cathcart, Vitamin C, titrating to bowel tolerance, anascorbemia, and acute scurvy Medical Hypothesis, 7: , 1981

Evidence 1 All mammals, except primates and guinea pigs, synthesize daily 2-20 grams of vitamin C in their livers. It protects them from diseases, injuries, and physical/mental stresses.

Evidence 2 Without vitamin C, people dies of scurvy in 60 days. Scurvy leads to disintegration of bones, connective tissues and blood vessels. Profound exhaustion, diarrhea, bone fractures, and pulmonary or kidney failures lead to death.

Evidence 3 65 mg/day of vitamin C is enough to prevent scurvy, but not enough to protect us from viruses, bacteria, environmental poisons, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer. Mammals rarely catch these diseases because they produce vitamin C in liver.

Evidence 4 Vitamin C is a derivative of glucose. It is completely non-toxic, as all mammals synthesize it in their livers. The only side effect in orally taking excess amount of it is diarrhea.

Evidence 5 Healthy people has 1 mg vitamin C per 100 gram of plasma. Adrenal and pituitary glands, leucocytes, brain and other organs contain times more vitamin C than plasma. Most diseases cause depletion of vitamin C in plasma and other organs.

Evidence 6 Vitamin C taken orally is absorbed in intestines. When all organs are saturated with vitamin C, its plasma level rises to 1.4 mg/100gram and intestines stop absorbing. Excess vitamin C flows to colon and causes diarrhea.

Evidence 7 Excess vitamin C causes diarrhea, gas, looseness of feces. Any of these indications can be considered that vitamin C reaches saturation.

Evidence 8 Taking vitamin C just below the amount causing diarrhea is the best way to maintain health and combat diseases. Healthy people develop diarrhea at 4-15 grams/day. Sick people can tolerate grams/day before diarrhea sets in.

Evidence 9 The amount of vitamin C, from 4 to 300 grams/day, which causes diarrhea is the most accurate and reliable measurement of health. The smaller the amount, the healthier you are.

Evidence 10 When a patient is too sick to take orally large amount of vitamin C, intravenous injection of sodium ascorbate solution will quickly restore health. The dosage is generally 350 mg of sodium ascorbate per 1 Kg of body weight.

Vitamin C Cures 100 Diseases Cold, flu and SARS Cancers Cardiovascular diseases Chemical poisons Snake and insect poisons Burns, surgery and injuries Mental and physical stresses

How to Take Vitamin C Take 5-10 grams of vitamin C every 2-4 hours Keep on taking it until diarrhea, loose stools, gas, or ‘ singing intestines ’.

Types of Vitamin C Ascorbic Acid, pure vitamin C Sodium Ascorbate, sodium salt of vitamin C. It can be taken without limit until diarrhea. Calcium Ascorbate, calcium salt of vitamin C. Limit it to 10 grams/day. It also supplies water soluble calcium.

My Recommendation Take 5-10 grams of calcium ascorbate with breakfast If no diarrhea, take 5-10 grams of sodium ascorbate with lunch If no diarrhea, take 5-10 grams of sodium ascorbate with dinner If no diarrhea, take 5-10 grams of sodium ascorbate with midnight snack

My Recommendation If no diarrhea after 40 grams vc in a day, you are really sick. Increase dosage per Dr. Cathcart ’ s table. If diarrhea sets in early, reduce dosage accordingly.

Thank You.
