    Dr. Berg explains what Vitamin C does to your body and what makes up the nutrient. In this video, Dr. Berg also discusses what part of the vitamin might be synthetic and how to know the difference.
    Synthetic vitamins do no help your body heal or become health long term. Most synthetic vitamins are made out of petroleum which does the opposite of what most people are looking for. If you are searching for vitamins for hair, skin or to help with weight loss it is better to ask for organic ingredients

      Citrus juice daily is only going to possibly increase your risk of tooth decay (depending on your saliva buffering capacity) and at worst give you enamel erosion. Enamel erosion leads to cold sensitivity and also works with bad habits like bruxism (grinding) and abrasion (hard toothbrushing ususlly along the gumline) to make those habits much worse in a shorter amount of time.

I have a little information about that from Ayurveda but I feel it does'nt cover the western foods like cheese and meat much. So it will be really helpful if you can make a video on that or if you have it already direct me to that .

      @@innosanto absolutely agreed. Plus it would give you diarrhea before you'd hit the levels of vitamin C often used in the studies. However, the studies typically are based on ascorbic acid, and not a natural form of vitamin C.
      Here's what I do, I take lower levels of Camu as 1 tsp day which is maybe 700 mg (sometimes, when I remember, I'll take this twice a day). This isn't too costly at about $35/lb. Then, when I feel something coming on, or I get sick, I take high doses of ascorbic acid as 6, 000 - 12,000 mg/day in divided doses.
      The Gerson diet recommends drinking 1 large glass (8 ounces) of freshly squeezed orange juice per day as part of the cancer protocol. That's 125-135 mg vitamin C. It also provides another 200 mg or so in the subsequent 8 glasses of carrot/apple juices. In all, you're getting maybe 325 mg of fresh vitamin C per day.
      I think fresh vitamin C is far more bioavailable than the other forms, with natural vitamin C powder being a far 2nd. But there is still no doubt ascorbic acid can play a critical roll in reversing disease too, especially acute conditions.

      @@L.J.01 I used to take vita C slow release ascorbic acid (not natural ) 3g a day excluding nutrition, and it was great for my adhd, in conjunction with other things I did at the period (super cold showers 5 minutes each). I think cold showers, together with b vitamins increased my norepinephrine and vita C slowed the degradation of norepinephrine in the brain and led to alleviation of the symptoms since it appears that my ADHD was because of NE. But it gave me kidney stones!!!! Then I looked up and it seemed that natural forms do not lead to kidney stones, so I was interested, and I think that Linus Pauling also got Vita C in great amounts through Camu Camu and not artificial ways. But it appeared that I couldn't afford this! What you write is interesting and maybe I will follow some of this stuff.
      However Linus Pauling institute states that there is no difference in the bioavailability of ascorbid acid, as far as where it is procured is concerned, whether artificially or naturally. However, the kidney stone thing if it is so would make a great difference.

    The highest natural source of vitamin C on the planet comes from Camu Camu Berry. From my experiences experimenting with various forms and dosages of vitamin C, I find that a combination of the aforementioned berry, in addition to consuming ascorbic acid (taken several times throughout the day) provides the most perceivable benefits.

    What if the reason why people feel such long-lasting lethargy after recovering from COv1d is because they took high amounts of synthetic vitamin C in an attempt to boost the immune system. Taking high amounts according to Dr. Berg here would then result in a deficiency in the vitamin C complex, which includes vitamin J. The vitamin J deficiency may then be the reason why energy levels do not return even when the person tests negative and recovers. Just a hunch?

      I have seen your name before and I think a couple of times we may have even chatted but I have not seen any comments by you in the past few months . But great name by the way .
      The two highest sources right now of vitamin C are KAKADU PLUM which is the highest and that's mostly grown in Australia .
      The second highest amount is AMLA FRUIT which is also called INDIAN GOOSEBERRY .
      If you can get these in their fresh forms that's really wonderful and if not you can at least usually get the Indian gooseberry at most Indian grocers in powdered form .
      Now they're saying Camu Camu is not worth it for vitamin C because the vitamin C in it is not stable and not as strong as they thought .
      I also like ascorbyl palmitate which is the fat-soluble vitamin C as it stays in the fatty tissue and the skin and will make the skin even tone and bleach out freckles or redness or dark circles under the eyes .
      Whenever I've been taking ascorbyl palmitate regularly I don't get sunburned and I no longer need to wear sunblock .

    This is one video where I have to disagree with his assessment of ascorbic acid. Animals who's bodies naturally produce ascorbic acid produce a lot in a day. They don't need these other factors he's talking about. It's just pure ascorbic acid. An average sized goat produces at least 13 grams a day when they are healthy and unstressed, and much more than that if they are stick or stressed. So to say that high doses are never found in nature isn't exactly true. There are many thousands of studies and case studies written up by holistic docs showing high-dose vitamin C therapy is extremely beneficial for a number of conditions.

    In the case of ascorbic acid, or vitamin C, the L-form is the form most active in nature. For some of vitamin C’s known effects, the D-form has little to no activity, and for other effects the D-form has significant activity, although not typically to the extent that the L-form shows activity.
    Basically, the vitamin C that is derived from natural sources is the L-form. However, the synthetic form of vitamin C can be either the L-form, the D-form, or both. Properly assaying the product determines whether any D-form is present. But just because vitamin C is synthetic does not mean it is the D-form.

      Exactly, that's because it is the real synthetic vitamin C better known as L-Ascorbic Acid. In the 1930s, Dr. Claus W. Jungblut, an early pioneer of vitamin C therapy, discovered that only primates and guinea pigs were susceptible to scurvy and anaphylactic shock, pulmonary tuberculosis, diphtheritic intoxication, a poliomyelitis-like viral infection and a viral form of leukemia. None of the vitamin C synthesizing laboratory animals had susceptibility to these diseases. You see that is something you will never hear Berg talk about Why? Because he is a con man,... Why do I say that? Because anybody that does 10 videos on YT telling people that Ascorbic Acid is poison and that they should get the whole Vitamin C Complex instead clearly doesn't have a clue as to what Ascorbic Acid is. There are over 80 years of backed-up scientific research done on Ascorbic Acid, and yet this DC doesn't tell his band of worshipers here on YT any of the information on just what AA really does instead he gives them the big pharma treatment.

    One false assertion is about the concentration of ascorbic acid in fruits. Old varieties of european apples contained about 500 mg just 50 years ago. The intensive agriculture has dropped those concentrations as low as 10-20mg in one apple. And it's the same for all the fruits and vegetables now produced intensively. The concentrations in vitamins and nutrients has been divided by 10, 20 and even by 100 !!
