	Mike Adams.
	Well, what happened to the search for the cure?
	What happened to raising all the money for Pink Ribbons and Susan Komen?
	People, it's all BS. The Health Ranger Report.
	They don't want a cure.
	They don't want to even prevent it.
	They want more people to have cancer because that's how they make money.
	It's time for the Health Ranger Report.
	And now, from NaturalNews.com, here's Mike Adams.
	There's a lot you may not know about vitamin C. Of course, it was made famous originally by Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling, but most of the vitamin C that's used in supplements and foods today comes from factories in China.
	And a lot of it's made from genetically modified corn.
	Yep.
	GMO corn is the basis for much of the ascorbic acid, which is traditionally called vitamin C. And the way I know this is because we spent months trying to find a non-GMO source of vitamin C. And our search took us all across the world.
	You wouldn't believe how difficult it is to find non-GMO vitamin C. You can't find it in China, by the way.
	You have to go elsewhere.
	So...
	Now we have a non-GMO vitamin C available at the Health Ranger store.
	And the web address, of course, is healthrangerstore.com.
	It's not cheap.
	It's premium.
	You know, it's non-GMO. It's lab-validated.
	We test it for heavy metals and microbiology and many other things.
	So we know it's ultra-clean and it's not from China.
	We call it China-free, which is a very important trait for a lot of supplements today.
	But another thing you might not know about vitamin C is that in its native form, ascorbic acid, it is, of course, slightly acidic.
	I don't know what the pH is, but I'm guessing 6.0 or something or 6.5.
	I don't know.
	It's slightly acidic.
	And it has a tart taste.
	When you're eating lemons and limes, you're tasting a lot of the vitamin C, actually, the tartness.
	So it lends itself very nicely to smoothies that are based on fruits like strawberries or even like a banana strawberry smoothie.
	You can put in just straight ascorbic acid powder into that kind of smoothie and it'll just add a tartness to it which sort of complements the strawberries or other berries or even apples.
	And vitamin C, if you want to see the power of it, by the way, the antioxidant power, just slice an apple in half and set the two halves face up on the counter so that they're going to turn brown, right?
	And then sprinkle vitamin C on just one half of the apple and let the other half be open to the air and come back in six hours.
	And you'll see that the half that was open to the air without the vitamin C is brown because it has oxidized.
	Whereas the half that you've protected with vitamin C has not oxidized and is protected.
	That's just one indication of many that tells you this is a powerful antioxidant.
	It has amazing nutritional effects throughout the body.
	And one of the things you might not know about how it interacts with the body is that it's a water-soluble nutrient, which means it gets eliminated very quickly from your body.
	Now, this has one advantage and one disadvantage.
	The advantage is that it's very hard to overdose on vitamin C. Very difficult because it leaves your body so quickly, you know, within half a day typically, that You can't really overdose on it.
	I mean, you'd have to really try.
	You'd have to eat spoonfuls of it.
	Some people have even taken as much as 50,000 milligrams at a time, and all they experience typically is some diarrhea or loosening of the stools.
	In fact, some doctors say that's how you know you have enough.
	But I don't take that much.
	I take a lot less than that.
	But I know that it has a very wide safety profile.
	Now, Because the disadvantage is that because it leaves your body so quickly, you have to take it really two or three times a day.
	I take it twice a day in the morning and in the evening to make sure that my body's level of vitamin C remains high throughout the day and even throughout the night.
	What I found is that the more vitamin C I have circulating in my body, the better I am in many, many different measurable ways that I can't describe due to FDA regulations that limit my freedom of speech since we are selling this product.
	So I can't really tell you the full extent of my own experience, but I can encourage you to try it yourself and check out your experience.
	I can tell you that many people have told me that the vitamin C they get from us, from healthrangerstore.com, Which is called Nutrition Rescue Vitamin C, by the way.
	It's the first time they've ever had a vitamin C that they felt the difference.
	They actually felt significant improvements or changes in their body that they did not feel with other forms of vitamin C. Now, I can only imagine that maybe that's because other forms of vitamin C are cut with other ingredients or maybe they're not 100% authentic.
	I'm not sure.
	I haven't tested every product out there, but I can tell you that our product is 100% authentic, not cut with any fillers, not watered down or anything.
	It is 100% non-GMO ascorbic acid, and then we have a buffered form, which is sodium ascorbate that I'll talk about in a minute, but these are 100% powders.
	So there's nothing in there.
	That isn't vitamin C. So the potency might be a big factor here why people are getting such great results.
	Speaking of sodium ascorbate, if you take vitamin C as ascorbic acid, and this is just a basic chemistry lesson, if you take any acid and then you combine it with a mineral, you get the 8 form, the dash ATE form of it.
	So ascorbic acid becomes, when you combine it with sodium, sodium ascorbate.
	Or if you combine it with, let's say, potassium, you would get potassium ascorbate.
	Or you could combine it with magnesium, and you can have magnesium ascorbate.
	Similar to things like, let's say, pyruvic acid.
	If you combine that with some minerals, you'll get something pyruvate.
	So this is just a standard naming convention in chemistry.
	You get an ATE version of the molecule when you combine it with another nutritive element, usually, is what we're talking about here, like potassium or sodium or magnesium and so on.
	So we offer a sodium ascorbate product, which is also made with 100% non-GMO vitamin C. And so sodium, of course, which is N-A, that's the element signed for it.
	You combine sodium with ascorbic acid, you get the sodium ascorbate.
	And it's a buffered effect, so the pH level now goes high instead of low.
	It's more alkaline.
	So some people don't want the acidity of ascorbic acid.
	Although I think it's great.
	I think it helps digest food, personally, for me.
	That's just my biology.
	But some people want a more alkaline form of vitamin C, so they'll use sodium ascorbate.
	And it has a slightly salty taste, no tartness in the taste, and it is alkaline in your stomach.
	So it actually neutralizes some of your stomach acid.
	So if you think that you're producing too much acid, Then you can try this and see sort of what results you get with it.
	But again, I think most people actually don't have strong enough stomach acid so that they have poor digestion because of a lack of acidity in the hydrochloric acid in their stomach.
	But, you know, that varies from person to person.
	So it also depends on what kind of water you're drinking.
	If you're drinking rainwater, that's more acidic than well water, which is very alkaline.
	So you may have to just play around with it and see what works for you.
	But personally, I don't like the taste of sodium ascorbate that much because it's a little bit salty.
	I like the ascorbic acid tart taste.
	That's what I prefer.
	In any case, we have both of these available in powder form at the Health Ranger store.
	And if you want the capsule form, that's where we have the ascorbic acid in capsule form.
	And that's what I actually take.
	I'll take like three or four capsules in the morning and another three or four in the afternoon.
	And then if I eat something, if I eat any kind of food that I think needs a little extra nutritional boost, then I'll take some more vitamin C capsules at the same time that I'm eating that food, especially if I'm eating at a restaurant or if I'm eating while I'm traveling or maybe at a friend's house or a I don't know, a buffet at a hotel convention event or something.
	If I don't know what's in it, I'm definitely slamming a lot of vitamin C with the meal just as a defensive measure.
	In any case, the bottom line is a lot of people don't know all these things that I've mentioned about vitamin C. It is, I think, the master nutrient for health and prevention, and it's a powerful, potent antioxidant.
	And your body was designed to eat it in large quantities.
	Like, you may not know that dogs, for example, generate their own vitamin C, but humans do not.
	Why is that?
	It's because humans co-evolved with a plant-based diet that was rich in vitamin C, so we never adapted the molecular process to develop our own internal vitamin C. But that means that if you don't get it, you're going to be deficient and you're going to have real, real problems.
	Again, dogs generate their own vitamin C because they did not eat a plant-based diet.
	So they developed an internal mechanism to synthesize vitamin C, which is just made out of, I think, carbons and hydrogens and maybe a few oxygens in there.
	I don't have to look at the molecule, but it's made out of basic stuff.
	It's just common elements just combined in a certain way to make ascorbic acid.
	But dogs can make that themselves.
	Just part of their biochemistry, whereas we humans cannot.
	I guess until they genetically modify humans one day and then they can make vitamin C hybrid human alien beings or something who can generate their own vitamin C until that day comes.
	You should take vitamin C instead and hope they don't play God with your gene code.
	All right.
	I apologize for the blatant, bizarre humor there at the end.
	But, you know, I can't resist a little commentary from time to time on some of the insanity in the scientific community these days.
	Nevertheless, it's not insane at all to just get good nutrition and get that into your body.
	You will feel the results.
	You will experience the benefits.
	And you'll be glad that you're not eating GMO, vitamin C. So check it all out at healthrangerstore.com.
	Search for vitamin C or nutrition rescue and enjoy this product that I spent a lot of time putting together for you.
	This is what I take and I put this together so that I can have this source too.
	And not only to share it with you and my customers, but also for me personally, I wanted an ultra clean source of vitamin C, not made from genetically modified corn.
	So...
	Put this together and now we all get to benefit.
	So it's win-win for everybody.
	That's what I love about it.
	Thank you for listening.
