The next time you need to quench your thirst, reach for these healthy options:

Water. Don’t wait until you are thirsty to drink water. Everyone should drink plenty of water throughout the day to prevent headaches, body aches, and fatigue that is associated with dehydration. Drinking water helps keep your body functioning at optimum performance. Water also acts as an appetite suppressant. If you drink a glass of water before a meal, you will find that you will eat less and lose weight.

Cranberry juice. These colorful red berries are loaded with vitamin C and studies show that an ingredient in cranberries prevents bacteria from adhering to the walls of the bladder, preventing bladder and urinary tract infections. The powerful antioxidants in cranberry juice helps get rid of free radicals and reduces inflammation. Drinking a glass of cranberry juice each day will also help lower your cholesterol. Stick to 100% cranberry juice and avoid cranberry juice cocktails, which have added sugar.

Green tea. The health benefits of green tea are seemingly endless. Green tea is not only a major source of antioxidants, but it can also help reduce the over-production of harmful enzymes in your body that may eventually lead to cancer. Forget your morning cup of coffee and enjoy a relaxing cup of green tea instead. Naturally occurring compounds in green tea are responsible for regulating blood sugar levels by promoting glucose metabolism, blocking glucose absorption and increasing insulin activity.

These drinks may be disguised as healthy and look appetizing, but they are loaded with extra sugar and fat and should be avoided at all costs.

Fancy coffee drinks. The traditional cup of coffee has had quite a make-over, and not in a healthy way. In addition to the huge dose of caffeine, fancy coffee drinks are laden with fat and calories from extras such as whipped cream, flavored syrups, chocolate sprinkles, even candy pieces.

Summer cocktails. Don’t be tempted by fancy drinks with a little paper umbrella. It’s probably the healthiest ingredient in many popular summertime drinks. Sweet summer drinks like margaritas, daiquiris, and pina coladas are packed with calories due to the alcohol and sugar.

Smoothies. Smoothies are often promoted as a popular health food, but many smoothies have added fat and calories that make them a very unwise choice. Stay away from smoothies that feature sugary fruit juices, full-fat dairy products, syrups, and artificial flavorings that can pack on the pounds.

Wonder Cure

Did you know that vitamin C is a natural antibiotic, anti-viral, antitoxic and immune booster? The medical literature is overflowing with evidence that vitamin C is the single most essential nutrient for achieving optimal health and also the premier agent for curing or effectively treating a large number of infectious diseases. Vitamin C is very arguably the most important treatment that any infected patient should receive, even if the final diagnosis is being made or other medications have been started.

Vitamin C can neutralize toxins and viruses very quickly by merging with these particles and making them ineffective.

In 1949 when polio was prevalent, Dr. Frederick R. Klenner used vitamin C to treat polio victims that came to his office. He wrote that he treated 60 cases of polio and cured every one of them without lasting effects. Vitamin C is the treatment of choice for neutralizing and eliminating poisonous substances from the body, whether they be created by viral infections or poisons consumed.

The quantity to be administered to an individual depends upon the graveness of the disease and the state of the patient’s own immune system. If we took sufficient quantities of vitamin C daily, most of us could avoid all serious illness.

Human race genetically lacks the enzyme gulonolactone oxidase unlike rats and guinea pigs. This enzyme is needed in the last step of conversion of glucose in to vitamin C. 100% GLO deficiency is shared by all human beings.

The Process of Using Vitamin C

If allowed to drip intravenously it acts as an oxidizing agent for certain pathological conditions. If allowed to run in rapidly, it acts as flash oxidizer and may correct the condition in minutes. It neutralizes toxins, viruses and histamine. It acts as an anti-clotting agent, anti histamine and anti-infective agent. This has been Dr. Klenner’s complaint: failure to benefit from Vitamin C use is usually due to inadequate amounts being used for too short a period of time.

The way vitamin C works is that after it attaches to the toxin or virus, the vitamin C itself oxidizes the new compound. Thus the toxin or virus as well as the vitamin C are destroyed. For this reason, vitamin C has to continue to be administered after the cure is effected.

Vitamin C Use

Large doses of vitamin C intravenously have been seen to cure or prevent the following infectious and non-infectious diseases:

  • Chronic fatigue syndrome – a viral disease of the immune system, usually characterized by debilitating fatigue and flu-like symptoms.
  • Viral hepatitis – Hepatitis is most often caused by a virus, but it can be the result of exposure to certain toxic agents, such as drugs or chemicals
  • Viral encephalitis
  • Chicken pox – characterized by mild headache and fever, malaise, and eruption of blisters on the skin and mucous membranes
  • Herpes infection – marked by the development of blisterlike sores on the skin or mucous membranes of the body.
  • Viral Pneumonia – characterized by fever, a cough with blood-tinged phlegm, and difficult breathing
  • Influenza
  • Rabies – transmitted to humans by the bite of an infected animal
  • AIDS - caused by a retrovirus and transmitted chiefly through blood or blood products that enter the body’s bloodstream
  • The common Cold – a respiratory disorder
  • Streptococcal infections
  • Amoebic dysentery – characterized by severe diarrhea, nausea, and inflammation of the intestines
  • Staphylococcal infections
  • Barbiturates, CO or pesticides or alcohol poisoning – items that injures the health or destroys life when absorbed into the system
  • Any toxic poisoning e.g. mercury, lead, arsenic, nickel, Aluminum
  • Radiation Toxicity (a systemic condition caused by excessive exposure to radiation, as from a nuclear explosion or accident

Side effects from administration of vitamin C are negligible. Physicians in Australia have given doses up to 300,000 mg resulting in impressive recoveries and no side effects, just healthy patients. A number of terminal cancer victims received intravenous vitamin C in large amounts for eight weeks and blood tests showed no side effects.

The only question raised concerning side effects by conformist doctors is a fear that vitamin C could cause kidney stones. Their reasoning was that metabolism of vitamin C results in oxalate, and nearly all kidney stones are calcium oxalate. Although this objection still remains in dispute, some medical literature reports that vitamin C in fact helps break up kidney stones.
