Linus Pauling May Have Been Vindicated - Vitamin C May Treat Cancer

This shows how to make DHAA ascorbic acid to increase absorption. When this was posted, we didn't then know it's better to take the oxidized form ascorbic acid, as it would keep the anti-oxidant from interfering with oxidative processes in the body such as the respiratory burst, which kills pathogens.

It's better to let the body produce the anti-oxidants as they see fit. In this case, the body can produce ascorbic acid from DHAA when it needs it. It's also better to provide the body with the precursors to glutathione than taking glutathione.
