The problem with vitamin C as only "ascorbic acid."

Ascorbic acid by itself is an inferior version of vitamin C that is theorized to create deficiencies in the human body.

Meaning, no one on the planet has ever eaten an orange and consumed 500 milligrams of ascorbic acid from that one orange.

What does happen when we eat an orange is we eat lots of bioflavinoids as vitamins, P and J along with about 60 milligrams of vitamin C.

Nature is built off balance. Our bodies are built off balance. If you have too much fat and no protein or carbs you are going to get sick.

If you sit all day long and never move your body you'll develop problems. If you work all the time and never sleep your body will shut down.

The body needs balance. We don't just need the ascorbic acid, we need the entire, what I call, "Vitamin C Complex." This is made up of vitamin C as ascorbic acid and bioflavinoids.

Now with Corona virus, we see lots of concern about it potentially having a higher mortality rate than the flu for example.

But please don't freak out as the latest data shows people who are 50 years old and younger have less concern.

However, the virus does seem to become increasingly dangerous as people progress above 50, which is fairly common for all viruses, especially the flu.

Interestingly enough, it becomes harder for the human body to hold onto vitamin C and other nutrients as we get older.

Without sufficient Vitamin C it increases the possibility of an elderly person getting seriously ill from the inflammation created from the infection.

If the inflammation is bad enough, it will kill the lung cells and produce fluid to fill in the lungs, which we call pneumonia, effectively drowning the individual.

We can’t make vitamin C, it must come from our diet!! It doesn’t matter if you are young or old, if you don’t have enough vitamin C when you get sick, you will suffer more tissue damage from the immune system’s inflammation.

In a recent article Dr. Rostenberg stated, "If you are too low in vitamin C, and then you get a bad virus like corona (or Ebola, SARS, swine flu, etc.) you will effectively develop scurvy – a disease that killed an estimated 2,000,000 sailors between years 1500 and 1800! Incredibly the main cause of death with scurvy is developing severe pneumonia which is exactly how corona virus kills people too!"

I think you're seeing the connections here?

Essentially the Coronavirus is causing people become to ill from the exact same problem that occurs when we run out of vitamin C.
