Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Ascorbic Acid (AA):

[What the ½  hour blood half-lifetime means]

Pharmacokinetics (Pk) is what the body does to the drug;  pharmacodynamics (Pd) is how the drug effects the body and its target organs, biological functions, chemical processes and/or microbes and parasites.

AA Pk deals with how it is administered effectively in what form, amounts and frequencies.  AA is in foods, more in certain sources.  AA is supplemented by oral uptake in the gut, by injection and via IV infusions directly into the blood.  Pk deals with rates of change in concentration and how & where it is distributed, stored, converted, metabolized and eliminated.

AA Pd deals with how it acts, where it acts, and when. It acts, taking an active part of the body’s functioning biochemistry. It performs protective functions, blocks enzymes, disables a wide range of toxins, inhibits cortisone-related degeneration, restores immune system activity, and acts as an antibiotic in sufficient quantities.  AA presence and absence affects (changes) many functional processes, and has many consequential effects. Thousands of articles have been published worldwide over the last century about how it works. See: Historical VitaminC Ascorbate Articles 1930s to  1990s and Irwin Stone: The Healing Factor: Vitamin C Against Disease, 1972  The entire book is here.

If oral AA intake is in the GI tract, too much can make your gut loose. “Too much” is highly variable over a range of more than 200 to one, depending on medical condition.  AA in too high levels causes a gut purge, changing the gut environment. Natural gut purging during an illness is not a bad thing if you are prepared to reboot the gut with probiotics. 

Take less AA and things go back to normal.  The intake level at which the loose bowel condition occurs depends on AA utilization and on the ROS oxide chemical stress levels inside the body. The RDA recommended daily allowance is a single number based on long-term low AA input and non-depleted AA storage in the body, for healthy persons with negligible ROS and stresses.

The high range of pathological, condition-driven AA-needs calls for much more AA than can be stored.  A 100 kg stressed rat would make 17-20 grams of AA from glucose in its liver, continuously, over the day as it is consumed neutralizing toxins and stress in the rat. Sometimes sick rats need even more.  So it is reasonable for people to take AA continuously at this level, or higher.  Normal diet does not even come close to supply this much AA.  Hyperglycemic (diabetic) conditions block and reduce AA cellular uptake and absorption, requiring additional  3+ to >6 grams of AA daily to reach normal effectiveness.  AA and CoQ10 work together to protect intracellular mitochondrial DNA from damage. See Ely.

After about a half hour after intake, AA is working and within 1 hour the intake is fully in your blood.  AA in the blood is highly variable.  It is absorbed by store-house organs, like the eyes, and vision changes may be quickly evident.  The first time I started a high dose of AA, within a half hour my eyes snapped into focus. The lenses of your eyes are AA storehouses, you may be able to use the daily changes in focus as an indicator of AA changes, to remind you that you need to eat some more AA. 

Reactive oxide (ROS and NOS) molecules metabolize AA. When they come in contact with AA molecules, they convert the AA to the dehydroascorbic (DHA) form, which is a mild oxidant.  The spent, metabolized DHA is excreted. Tests for antioxidant AA in the urine do not react to the DHA.  Cancer cells in tumors have a huge uptake appetite for DHA, converted from AA. DHA then kills the cells in the tumor, acting on the cancer cells mitochondria.  AA in normal cells, in the absence of inflammation, is non reactive and it does not endanger cells, but has a protective action against toxin and allergens.  AA’s cellular uptake is much lower than DHA.

When the blood has excess AA and the storage threshold has not been achieved, it is quickly stored for later use. Accounting in part for the short half-lifetime as it is absorbed into the storehouses. When the body has a shortage, or an organ under attack (or a tumor) has a shortage, the AA moves from the storehouses to the blood and to the place of need where it is oxidized and metabolized.  The DHA form is sucked into infected/cancer cells and helps them to die. Excess DHA form passes back to the lymph and blood and is later excreted through the kidneys.

When we are very healthy and contain few or no microbial parasites and chronic infections, we might get by with about 100 milligrams per day. Building up quite a stored reserve.  When the reserve goes critically low, blood levels drop and we start to feel uncomfortable.  When we are borderline depleted and when we encounter an allergen, we have an allergic attack.  If we have hay fever, we are chronically low in AA. When we have high AA reserves, we do not have any hay fever.

When AA levels are low (scurvy), cortisone levels increase, suppressing the immune system. This makes it easier for invading microbes and chronic microbes to replicate. We get sicker, producing more reactive oxides, which further deplete the active AA that is left.  Histamine levels rise to have a protective effect for some cells.  When AA levels pass a too-low threshold level, ROS and histamine levels rise exponentially.

 If we were sick with a hemorrhagic fever like Marburg we might need 250 grams of AA per day and that amount might not be enough.  When you have cancer you need a lot more AA to feed the tumors and if it is not supplied frequently you die of scurvy. AA taken frequently for end stage cancer will ease the misery related to the scurvy state created by the cancer stealing the AA from the rest of the body. At still higher IV levels, 100-200 grams/day, AA in the form of sodium ascorbate kills the cancer cells.

When you are acutely sick, you burn AA rapidly, and any stored AA is sucked out of the storehouse organs. You feel this as a feeling of sickness until it is replaced.  If your brain, eyes, and body have a dull ache, this is the sign of depleted AA.  When I get the flu, I take six+ grams of AA every 2 hours and the discomfort eases or almost vanishes. I used to have low AA levels and hay fever during pollen season.  With high AA levels, I never have seasonal hay fever. 

The Pub-Med articles that say that AA’s blood-concentration half-lifetime is ½ hour although correct for the conditions measured, in the dynamic-AA-needs world of pathologic-condition-nutrition  a precise dosage  cannot be determined in most circumstances.  The pharmacodynamics of AA in vivo is highly dynamic and highly circumstantial.  If the ~100 gram RDA were to work for healthy persons, with a high balance of stored AA in their system, the half-life of ½ hour would be related to intake and excretion alone. Actually a low blood-level of AA is supplemented from stored reserves. More modern info-sources recommend a healthy person RDA of about 3 grams.  Older folks with many microbial parasites (chronic infections with inflammation) need 6 to 12 grams per day, sometimes more.  Some toxins need high AA intake to fully neutralize additional ROS produced by the toxin and the toxin itself.

Active AA in the blood is diminished by transit to storage, by metabolism, by attacking oxides, and by excretion.  Klenner himself tested active AA excretion in the urine with Benedicts reducing glucose test, while he was applying high AA dosages for very sick persons. He used frequent urine tests as a dynamic indicator of how much AA to use.  He found that during the illness, while he was putting large amounts of AA into the patient, that no reducing AA showed in the urine.  After resolution of the illness, reducing AA started showing in the urine, and he knew that the recovery was almost complete.

It is illuminating to compute how long AA can stay in the blood at effective levels.  Pretend that the ½ hour half-lifetime is correct.  A two-hour delay after AA administration implies a depletion to 1/16 the initial level.  An eight-hour delay in re-intake means the AA blood level depletes to near zero.  In the presence of a systemic acute disease condition, the AA is much more rapidly oxidized than given in the numbers below.  This shows why frequently repeated (never-a-missed-dose) oral AA supplementation is needed.

Hrs/Depleted-to-Level%= .5h/50%; 1h/25%; 1.5h/13%; 2h/6%; 4h/.4%; 6h/.02%; 8h/.00% = 2.5*2-15%.

This means that once a day AA intake in AA depleted (scurvy) state the level next day is 1/248. This also means that if you are attempting to verify Klenner and Cathcart’s work you must use valid pharmacokinetics and have to have oral intake every 2 hours as they recommended. 

Think of AA as a food and eat some with every meal.

Most of the historic AA testing experiments are worthless, because they failed to follow the proper amount, method, or frequency of AA administration. Most experimenters were testing the depleted AA state and thus their “AA is useless” findings are falsified by their faulty methodology.  Klenner, Cathcart, Pauling, Kalokerinos confirmed each other, using appropriate pharmacokinetic intake levels and frequencies.  Others throughout the world have confirmed these scientists, if they follow their methods and/or exceed their dosages and frequencies.

If you do meta-studies of a bunch of now-falsified “AA-failed” studies, you will have produced incorrect consensus-supporting conclusions.  Thus the mistakes have propagated for a period of about 65 years.  Bad science was in a falsified-concept feedback loop.  “Absence of evidence” is not “Evidence of absence”.  We can’t be all wrong. But most of the consensus was wrong and the consensus was ignoring published successes. See the reasons. 

The AA ignoring continues. Some savvy nutritionists worry that an effective nutritional AA modality might be suppressed based on regulator prejudice, ignorance or the drug companies’ lobbying to limit effective and low cost competition.

 

Glucose – AA antagonism:

John Ely has a paper discussing neglected “Unprofitable Modalities” of medicine that are underutilized, greatly to our detriment.  See: On the Science of Essential Nutrients By John T.A. Ely.

He defines the change in our diet around 1910 when more sugar and refined starches came into vogue.  Current “normal” glycemic levels are high compared with the levels of 1910.  Hyper glycemic high glucose levels block the action of AA, making it necessary for intake to be higher than 10 grams per day.  The way to successful treatment is to apply Aggressive Glucose Control (AGC) by reducing carbohydrates to the levels of benign ketosis. This is Dr. Atkins’ induction stage diet.  See Ketonic AA Protocol. 

The benefit of AGC is to enhance the effect of AA as an antibiotic/antiviral and to help DHA uptake into infected and cancer cells, where the oxidized AA (DHA) acts to kill the cell invading dysfunctional mitochondria, and to enhance the immune cell functionality to attack invading microbes. With AGC, the AA below the 10 grams per day intake level, the AA has its normal protective, anti toxin and immune stimulation benefits.

 

Successful clinical Results: 

The site, DoctorYourself.com, has material documenting successful high dosage AA IV treatments.  See: Intravenous Ascorbate as a Chemotherapeutic and Biologic Response Modifying Agent  by The Center for the Improvement of Human Functioning, International, Inc., Bio-Communications Research Institute.

Successful application of AA IV to treating various cancer conditions needs to meet the criteria below.

Criteria: A valid treatment-trial should include providing tested (not assumed) blood AA levels that are high enough concentrations to exceed the killing concentrations for cancer cells in vitro.  Papers exist with in vitro cancer-cell-killing AA concentrations published for various cancer cell lines.  The duration of the AA blood levels at a killing-concentration must include several hours each day of maintenance at more than the effective concentration. They should also include oral AA intake at high levels at 2 hour intervals to avoid AA depletion between IV sessions.

 

Pharmacological effects of AA:

All humans lack an essential gene, so we all must eat AA several times each day in sufficient levels appropriate to our daily needs.

First, AA is an antioxidant and it disables the reactive oxidizing species (ROS) that it encounters. Next it has a huge number of additional biochemical actions. Including healing in heart disease.

 

Our ongoing AA web research: AA vs. Cancer

In Cellular Health Series: Cancer  by Matthias Rath, MD,  has an illustrated color insert: The Victory Over Cancer is at Hand. Microbes invade the host’s leukocytes (macrophages) and/or other (liver, tissue, etc. cells), take over intracellular gene-driven enzyme production, and produce an imbalance.

Rath, in the insert, describes how a nutrient cocktail stops the destruction of tissue by viral-infected cancer cells. The coctail ingredients are a combination of L-lysine, L-proline, Vitamin C and Epigallocatechin Gallatin (EGCG, a green tea extract).  AA disables the spreading-factor enzyme, hyaluronidase produced by viruses, cancer cells and bacteria. Hyaluronic acid is a long chain sugar molecule that is one thread in the three-dimensional  woven-matrix that makes up the structure of our tissues. 

If you combine hyaluronidase and a few select protein-eating enzymes you can dissolve the tissue that is generated to wall off tumors.  Cancer cells generate all of these enzymes to facilitate metastasis.  The Lysine and Proline act as targets for these protein eating enzymes, blocking their action on tissues.

Hyaluronidase (HD) enzyme is made by microbe parasites. It digests the hyaluronic acid lubricant in the joints that protects cartilage.  AA plus L-lysine is known to facilitate healing of Herpes-caused lesions.  AA disables the HD in your system, slowing or stopping germ spreading and protecting the HA in the joints.  It also plays a role in rebuilding tissues and joint cartilage.  AA also facilitates wound and surgery-healing, and stem cell differentiation in healing joints.

AA is a powerful and quick-acting ant-toxin with a wide range (almost universal) of toxin neutralization applications.  See: Early Clinical Usage of Vitamin C by Dr Frederick Klenner.  It is surprising that emergency rooms inject adrenaline to stimulate AA release from our glandular storehouses instead of using large amounts of AA directly.  Many are taught that adrenaline works but are not taught that much of the results are from AA and that more AA injected directly will work better and in a safer manner.

 

Suggested amounts and rates of Vitamin C intake:

Depends on body weight and conditions. 

Use ratios: 

Your Suggested Daily Intake (Grams) = [Your weight (Kg)] x [17 (grams)/200 (kg)]

 

If you are almost Well:  6 to 17 grams for a 200 lb = 100kg person.

According to Vojdani and Franco, Six grams of AA per day, at a minimum, will begin to restart the immune system’s T-cells’, B- cells’, and Macrophages’ recovery from the mitochondrial dysfunction (MD) that is a result of various microbes invading these immune system cells. These are white blood cells.  6 grams/day = 4x500 mg tablets (= 2 grams) every six waking hours, 3 times/day.  For higher levels you may wish to build up slowly to bowel tolerance. If diarrhea occurs, decrease by 1 gram and work up to higher levels. This is your individual tolerance. Spread the dose over the day for maximum benefit.

A typical daily multi-vitamin contains only 50-100 mg of vitamin C. This is 1/20th to 1/10th gram, just enough to prevent scurvy if you are healthy, but not nearly enough to neutralize serious oxidative stress or to prevent infections and other illnesses. The best form of vitamin C is the one most readily absorbed.  

Powdered AA in gelatin capsules is better than pressed solid pills.  Buffered powder (e.g., Ester C is calcium ascorbate) is available under various house brands, although sodium ascorbate is preferred.  All of these are available online and frequently quantity discounts are available.

 

If you are Acutely Ill or have Toxin or venom Poisoning:

·                     Up to 100 grams per day. Divide the daily dose and administer 2 to 4  times per day. 

·                     If seriously ill or in shock front-load with higher amounts at the start. 

·                     Use AA injections and AA by oral intake together.

·                     Inject Intra-Muscular and/or inject Intra-Venous solution (for shock and unconsciousness)

 

Chronic: Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Lyme Disease, Taking Statins, etc

Depends on the condition, see Dr. Cathcart’s table below:

Ascorbate Dosage levels

Acute Illness: Oral dosage to ramp up without limit until bowel tolerance level is determined.  Start at dosages depending of severity of illness, per Dr. Cathcart’s table.

Severe colds may need 30 to 100 grams/day. If your gut does not go loose, you are below the maximum that you need.  If you take AA by injection it does not affect the gut.

 Powder form in water, 2 tablespoons Vitamin C powder/hour for two days to several weeks, then decrease gradually. Quitting abruptly might result in “induced-scurvy” feel-bad condition. So taper down.

Always carry AA on trips, and if headache or allergic attack or sinus headache, your system is out of AA and you need to resume prior high AA intake levels.

Vitamin C potentates antibiotics, it reduces allergic reaction to their use, and in high and frequent dosages it stops bacteria spread.

 

Chronic Illness: Polymicrobial infections may need 6, 12, 18, 24, or 32 grams per day of Vitamin C, with dosages evenly spaced (every 2, 3 or 4 hrs). Timed-release tablets are worse than spaced dosage. Duration of use of Ascorbate for serious chronic intracellular infection and cancer may be forever. Transport percentage from gut to blood depends on the dosage and the degree of need. Higher dosages may not all be absorbed. Therefore smaller dosages taken more frequently will be better absorbed than large dosages taken less frequently.

Ketosis Case History (HK)

Ketosis plus vitamin C  (AA) is an adjuvant to the Tetracycline-antibiotic protocol. Combine Klenner's AA and Rheumatoid Arthritis: The infection Connection, Appendix 2 antibiotic protocol. Benign ketosis is induced by drastic reduction of carbohydrate intake. [Atkins-diet induction stage, < 10 grams carbohydrates/day] The liver shifts from fat storage mode to fat extraction mode and fats and proteins are catabolized to acetyl CoA to feed the Krebs cycle where ATP is made to feed energy to all the body cells. Body-cell sugar use shuts down. Hypoglycemic condition stops in ketosis mode. Microbes and viruses are sugar dependent, so are drastically starved. ROS of the sickness oxidizes the AA to the DHA form. Microbes, microbe-infected body and cancer cells need sugar and ingest oxidized Dehydro Ascorbic Acid (DHA) instead.  Inside the microbes and the infected cells the DHA oxidizes the cells' mitochondria and induces apoptosis (cell death). AA levels of about 28 grams per day were used in one case history on our website in addition to the Appendix 2 tetracycline protocol to reverse (cure) a severe painful bone-joint resident infection of unknown origin in a period of 4 days. Eating honey-covered peanuts was enough to re-trigger the pain locus. The protocol was repeated successfully several times when relapse was induced by the sugar. The periods of remission extended and severity of relapse decreased with each repetition of the ketosis and the combined protocols.

2004 Petition to ReEvaluate Vitamin C RDA based on latest scientific findings.

[2012, Seven years later, Still no corrections to flawed publications and stonewalling by the NIH researchers still continues:

“Had they exhibited any integrity, NIH researchers should have written medical journals and retracted their previously errant studies. They didn’t. They should have alerted the Food and Nutrition Board that the Recommended Dietary Allowance for vitamin C needs to be re-evaluated. They didn’t. They should have alerted the news media. They didn’t. They should have withdrawn now erroneous printed publications and website pages that continue to air the misinformation. They didn’t. Even after being prodded for over a year by fellow scientists, Drs. Steve Hickey and Hilary Roberts from Manchester, England, the NIH researchers took no corrective action.

“Hickey and Roberts reacted by writing a book on vitamin C (Ascorbate: The Science of Vitamin C, available as an e-book atwww.lulu.com/ascorbate$6.00 US funds) that documents the scientific mistakes made by NIH researchers….”

 

The 2004 petition from noted scientists to NIH remains a milestone marking the start of a new period of official failure to respond, similar to that noted by Linus Pauling in 1977.  See the website below:

 

Health Supreme by Sepp Hasslberger  [2004]

Vitamin C RDA is too low: The flawed science and the uncorrected mistakes.

Researchers: Vitamin C Deficiency Widespread - Link to Heart Disease, Infections, Cancer

“HALF-LIFE FOR VITAMIN C IGNORED: The main flaw -- the half life for vitamin C is quite short, about 30 minutes in blood plasma, a fact which NIH and IM researchers have failed to recognize. (Half life is the time it takes for half of a substance to be removed from the body.) NIH researchers established the current RDA based upon tests conducted 12 hours (24 half lives) after consumption. "To be blunt," says Hickey, "the NIH gave a dose of vitamin C, waited until it had been excreted, and then measured blood levels." 

Because vitamin C is used up rapidly, a very high single dose of vitamin C would not achieve the same concentration in the blood serum over time as two divided lower doses. Hickey and Roberts claim many negative studies using high-dose vitamin C have failed to recognize this fact and have therefore mistakenly concluded that high-dose supplemental vitamin C is ineffective.

“RDA NOT FOR EVERYBODY: In the past year Hickey and Roberts have shaken the confidence of the IM and NIH, revealing that the medical establishment has failed to investigate the use of high-dose vitamin C properly, for more than 50 years. Hickey and Roberts have taken the IM and NIH to task for developing the RDA for vitamin C on studies using only 15 healthy test subjects. Normal variations would call for a greater pool of test subjects before establishment of an RDA for hundreds of millions of people.

Furthermore, the RDA is intended to set a level of nutrient consumption that would prevent disease (scurvy) among the vast majority (95%+) of the population. Yet smokers (50 million), estrogen or birth control pill users (13 million and 18 million), diabetics (16 million), pregnant females (4 million) and people taking aspirin (inestimable millions) or other drugs, have increased need for vitamin C and comprise more than 35 percent of the population. The current RDA wouldn't meet the needs of these large subpopulations.

“CONTRADICTORY DATA:  Furthermore, Hickey and Roberts confronted the IM and NIH with their own contradictory data. The IM and NIH claim the saturation point is reached at a certain concentration of ascorbic acid in blood plasma but later published a paper showing repeated oral doses could achieve much higher concentrations, more than three times greater! [Annals Internal Medicine 140: 533-37, 2004]

Because of the short half-life of ascorbic acid, five 100 milligram doses of oral vitamin C taken at intervals through the day will raise average blood levels more than a single 1000 milligram dose. Hickey says the blood plasma is not saturated when 1000 milligrams of vitamin C is consumed orally since NIH researchers themselves demonstrated 2500 mg dose produces even higher concentrations. Hickey and Roberts claim the minimum supplemental dose of oral vitamin C needed to sustain blood plasma levels is around 2500 milligrams a day in divided doses in healthy individuals. Millions of others (smokers, diabetics, etc.) have needs greater than this.

NIH researchers doggedly cling to their claim that no more than 200 milligrams of oral vitamin C is required for human health and that a diet which includes five servings of fruits and vegetables would provide 210-280 milligrams of vitamin C. [Biofactors 15: 71-74, 2001] But only 9 percent of the US population consumes 5 servings of plant foods daily. The National Cancer Institute has abandoned their 5-a-day recommendation and replaced it with 9-a-day servings of fruits and vegetables once they recognized five servings a day had not reduced the risk for cancer or heart disease.

“TOLERABLE UPPER LIMIT ALSO FLAWED:  The recommended Tolerable Upper Limit for vitamin C, 2000 mg per day, gives the false impression that amounts beyond this would be toxic or produce side effects. In fact, 2000 mg of oral vitamin C would not meet the needs of millions of American adults. The only side effect at this dose is transient diarrhea which usually dissipates over time.

TISSUE LEVELS VS. BLOOD PLASMA LEVELS: The mistaken idea that high-dose vitamin C supplementation saturates the blood plasma after a moderate dose of about 150 milligrams of oral vitamin C, and additional amounts are worthless since they are excreted in the urine, now must be abandoned, says Hickey and Roberts. More than a decade ago other researchers found that consumption of high-dose vitamin C (2000 mg per day) increased ascorbic acid levels in the human eye by 22-32 percent compared to when a so-called saturation dose (148 mg) is consumed. [Current Eye Research 8: 751, 1991] Ascorbic acid levels in other tissues in the body, such as the brain where vitamin C concentration is 10 times greater than in blood plasma [J Clinical Investigation 100: 2842, 1997], make it evident that blood plasma levels may not be the gold standard for measuring vitamin C adequacy in all tissues in the human body.”
