And of course, Im sure well be touching upon it later maybe even bigger half of the coin if you will or more important side of the coin is the fact that you have to identify and reduce preferably stop the exposure to new toxins on a daily basis.We also discuss the hidden epidemic of oral disease and the role it plays in our health.
Im Dr Ron Ehrlich. All disease is caused by oxidative stress, all cancers are a focus of chronic inflammation and chronic oxidative stress. What are the four basic and must-have supplements Why is oral health the hidden epidemic, what about vitamin C Why has it been described as the universal panacea Well, my guest today is Dr Thomas E. Levy. Thomas is one of the worlds leading vitamin c experts and frequently lectures to medical professionals all over the globe including in Australia about the proper role of vitamin C and antioxidants in the treatment of a host of medical conditions and diseases. It just doesnt add up to me because I knew kids in college that went and got a couple wisdom teeth out and they went home and went to bed for a week. Youre saying an IV did it and he said: Well, no, its whats in it. That caught me completely out of left field and I immediately resolved that I was going to start learning about vitamin C, all this history what its doing the literature etc. And so, over the course of the subsequent 23 or so years up until now, its been quite a journey. A number of books, a number of projects, at one point in time I might begin working for Dr. Huggins as a consultant and he paid me well enough and I had enough time off that after watching all the brutal suits and everything else that he got harassed with so frequently then he had a lawyer on staff. I just decided that I was going to go ahead and get my law degree. I mean I just said you actually read that stuff and committed it to memory but anyway it all depends what time it is in your life, what youre prepared for, what youre motivated for. Theres no way I could do it now, but I did it then and I will say it hasnt been maybe overwhelmingly significant, but it has had a great deal of impact on the way I analyse things, the way I write. I think this offered me oftentimes without me even knowing at a certain amount of protection that Hal didnt have and so its all, I dont regret it at all the being a physician and then a lawyer. I always like to joke when I talk to the audiences that I talked to that I say Im thinking now becoming a dentist, so I could become finally a member of every group I hold on the lowest esteem. But now just going back a little bit because 1993 youd already been in practice for how long as a cardiologist. Now youve said so much here I mean the vitamin C is obviously something that I want to talk to you about in fact lets talk about that a bit because a lot of people when they get a cold or they feel one coming on they feel are just must grab a bit of vitamin C and Ill be right but theres a lot more to it than that isnt it There are many faces of vitamin C to point of phrase. ![]() Im glad you asked it because and I certainly wasnt in this spot 20 years ago or even 15 years ago but you stick at something long enough certain patterns and facts and things begin to emerge and all my presentations now circulate around the fact that I present the data that vitamin C is actually the primary fuel on which every cell in the body runs. This is because as an antioxidant its an electron donor and thats significant because even though people have talked about oxidation and oxidative stress and all these catchphrases for a long period of time, it now becomes apparent to me, has become apparent to me that all disease is not necessarily caused by increased oxidative stress. In other words, when you oxidise a biomolecule nucleic acid protein-sugar you name its nucleic acid, it becomes dysfunctional or a functional. Either operate at a lesser efficiency or it doesnt have its biological function at all and as such then the more biomolecules that are oxidised in different areas of the body different concentrations etc. The degree to which vitamin C can go into the tissues and re-donate electrons so that oxidised biomolecules are reduced and functional again is the degree to which a disease can be controlled or even use the dirty word cured, okay. When you put this picture together you realise then that vitamin C is your ultimate antitoxin it well literally in the blood neutralise the toxin or immediately repair the damage after the toxin goes into the tissues, takes away some electrons for biomolecule reducing itself while it oxidises the biomolecule and then you have your toxic damage. I mean biology is incredibly complex incredibly involved yet there exist these final common denominator pathways in my point of view linking it to all disease. C but any antioxidant if it has the chemical structure to allow it to get the improper opposition to the oxidised biomolecule that needs to be reduced youll get clinical improvement.
