Update: 2023-08-15

Description

In this episode of The Modern Vital Podcast, Dr. Ben Reebs is joined by renowned educator, naturopathic physician, and cancer specialist, Dr. Paul Anderson. We deep dive into the vast benefits of vitamin C, unpacking its antioxidant properties, its significant impact on the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RAAS), and its role in enhancing the differentiation and proliferation of certain leukocytes like macrophages and lymphocytes. Dr. Anderson sheds light on the initial strategy adopted by three Wuhan hospitals during the early phases of the pandemic. To reduce hospital admissions, they administered oral doses of ascorbic acid powder, with promising outcomes.

Expounding on vitamin C's pivotal role, Dr. Anderson articulates how it is the linchpin among the three primary antioxidants in our body. Vitamin C's interplay in recycling both glutathione and vitamin E is integral for tissue health, especially when inflammation is present in organs such as the heart, lungs, or kidneys. The discussion then progresses to the vitamin's direct modulation of immune cytokines, which are instrumental in combating severe cases of SARS-CoV-2. Moreover, its influence on ACE-2 receptors impacts viral uptake and the overall RAAS system. As the conversation wraps up, the dose-response relationship of vitamin C is touched upon, with a nod to Linus Pauling's groundbreaking research on optimal dosing. Concluding the episode, Dr. Anderson shares his online resources, making it easier for listeners to access evidence-based information on the topic.
