• 0:17
  Speaker 2: Welcome to Revealing Wholeness podcast dedicated to revealing the profound
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: connections between body, mind, and spirit, where we believe that
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: true wellness arises from addressing the root causes of our
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: health challenges, not just masking the symptoms. Here we dive
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: deep into how holistic approaches such as advanced chiropractic care,
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: personalized nutrition, and natural healing practices can transform your life.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Now Here is doctor Troy.
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: Hello and welcome. I'm doctor Troy. Sometimes when I review articles,
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: I'm actually just blown away by the sheer, stupidity, and
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: sometimes completely inaccurate information that comes out of it. Now
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: that being said, am I always perfect in all of
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: my knowledge and understanding? Well? No, I'm only as good
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: as what I read. So I would say that my
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: podcasts are well above ninety percent accuracy, and probably above
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: ninety six seven percent accuracy. But I will still give
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: myself that benefit of the doubt. As I discover new
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: information and we put more things together, we realize, hey,
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: it wasn't so much that it was this particular nutrient
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: that was the problem. It was a deficiency caused by
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: something else. And so with those kinds of ideas, this
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: one is one that takes a better closer look to
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: kind of figure out what they're actually talking about. Now,
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: this is five supplements and medications you shouldn't take with
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: vitamin C. I thought, really, you shouldn't take these things
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: with vitamin C. I'm just I'm totally interested. I can't wait.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: And so the first one is B twelve. Well, B
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: twelve is a very important nutrient, and I'm thinking, you know,
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: B twelve is pretty stable. And then I've got to
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: think about it. I said, oh, oh, I bet it is.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: And sure enough, they said, if you're doing high dose
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: vitamin C, of course they're likely talking about just ascorbic acid.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: And to give you a quick rundown, a scorbic acid
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: is made by companies, and the largest one being in China,
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: and it's made by genetically modified corn syrup. When it's
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: introduced with hydrochloric acid, out pops ascorbic acid. Now, ascorbic
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: acid is indeed part of the vitamin C complex, but
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: it is an incredibly small part, way less than one
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: percent of the vitamin C complex. The vitamin C complex
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: is five hundred things or more that make it what
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: it is, and so if you're going to be doing
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: high dose ascorbic acid, it's going to probably do some
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: things that aren't very good to your body. In fact,
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: they say that you can only absorb about one hundred
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: and eighty milligrams of ascorbic acid, and I would hazard
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: a guess that's probably a bit high. I don't even
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: think you could do that much. So some of the
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: products that I sell that are food derivatives of vitamin
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: C or rather have a scorbic acid. Usually it's like
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: nine twelve seventeen milligrams of a scorbic acid by weight
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: in the naturally occurring food sourced vitamin C. So that
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: might give you at least an idea of how foods
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: really rate when it comes to vitamin C and why
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: we should necessarily be doing high dose synthetic vitamin C
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: in the form of a scorbic acid. I hope that
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: makes some sense. If not, you might replay it slower.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: It's not the easiest thing to understand, and I lament
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: I do a podcast on vitamin C that do a
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: much better job explaining it, so feel free to review those.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: Now here's the kicker. When they saw that B twelve
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: was affected by high dose vitamin C. The B twelve
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: that they were using was, of course synthetic sanal cobolamine,
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: So they're not using the real stuff that actually is
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: in food. It's when you're taking garbage cyano cobalamine. So
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: I don't recommend necessarily doing that, and food sourced B
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: twelve is a much better idea. So if you take
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: a realistic form of vitamin C or a full complex
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: in food, you don't have to worry about your B
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: twelve supplement, but you probably should consider you know what,
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: I'm actually more concerned than maybe twelve supplement is probably crap.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: Now the next one is iron. Now, this is fascinating
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: to me. If you've been around my podcast long enough,
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: you've heard me say that the full complex vitamin C,
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: the core of which the vitamin C complex is copper. Now,
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: copper is incredibly important when it comes to iron absorption,
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: and they're saying that if you're taking iron, that you
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: should be very careful taking high dose a scorbic acid.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: I thought that doesn't even make sense even on other layers,
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: because you must have a good, strong, acidic gut in
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: order to absorb iron. So the vitamin C would only
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: be more helpful as it is a scorbic acid. It's
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: right there in the title. But now here's the kicker.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: What it said was that if you are in an
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: iron overload condition, you should avoid high dose vitamin C.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: Now wait a minute. Your article title said supplements and medications.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: You're not supplementing iron. And if you were overloaded with iron,
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: would you be on an iron supplement for crime on
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: the night? I would hope that your doctor would be
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: wise enough to tell you please stop the iron. So
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: this particular one is now reaching for whatever heights trying
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: to fit in iron. I don't know, but in order
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: to absorb iron, copper is incredibly necessary because the body
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: is smart enough to know that if I don't have
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: enough copper that tyrosinase enzyme and its precursors and it's
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: phytonutrients that it's surrounded with, I will have more infections
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: because iron tells bugs to grow and replicate in the
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: human body, and copper is part of the immune system
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: that says stop. And so with that, it's just a shocker.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: Now I'm leading up to the third thing here they
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: talk about, which is the biggest shock of all. Now,
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: you just heard me talk about copper being the core
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: of the vitamin C complex. But guess what number three
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: is that you should be careful with if you're taking
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: high dose vitamin C. I can't even begin to make
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: this up, but they said copper. Now, most people out
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: there are not taking copper, they probably wouldn't know what
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: it was for. But ultimately we would love to get
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: a natural source of copper, ining just vitamin C naturally
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: food derived. So if you're eating kale or Brussels sprouts
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: or broccoli or other greens, and you're getting vitamin C
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: from that, which you should and will if it's fresh,
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: you're getting lots of copper. If you're getting molasses, if
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: you're taking a spoonful of black strap molasses morning and night,
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: which I do recommend, you're getting copper. And so that
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: usable copper is vitally important for our red blood cells,
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: for red blood cell production. But they say, hey, vitamin
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: C reduces availability of copper. Now, maybe high dose synthetic
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: vitamin C does in fact damage the gut or something
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: and makes it less absorbable, but ultimately, under normal conditions,
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: this is completely and irrevocably false. So I mean, go
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: for it as best you can. Now. Vitamin B three,
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: I thought this was fascinating. I'm thinking B three niassinemide. Now,
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: they specifically talk about niosin, which is the synthetic form
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: of B three, and they said it actually manages high cholesterol,
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: and so you'll find statins with high high niosin, and
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: they said you'd better be careful with high vitamin C
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: because it affects niosin and your statin drug and it
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: may reduce the HDL raising ability of or at least
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: prevent the raising of HDL so high density lipproteins. And
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: so I'm thinking, if you have high cholesterol, you like
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: have damage to your vascular system, the one thing you'd
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: want to do most would be a natural, full complement
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: complex C. You certainly wouldn't want to do a synthetic
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: vitamin C. That would probably cause problems another way, and
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: it may affect B three or rather niosin if it's
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: synthetic as well. It seems to affect the synthetic B twelve.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: And also it's going to affect cholesterol medication. Well, I
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: don't know if that's such a bad thing, since cholesterol
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: medication is damaging cholesterol in all of its ways. And
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: please listen to my podcast on cholesterol. It's over an
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: hour and we talk about the benefits of cholesterol and
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: what cholesterol actually does in your body, from making your
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: brain tissue to making the coverings around your nerves to
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: transmit nerve impulses. It makes bile so that we can
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: detox our blood and lubricate our bowels. It makes a
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: lot of our hormones. I'm like, you don't want to
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: avoid cholesterol or take a cholesterol lowering medication under any circumstances.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: In my opinion, you would much rather be aiming your
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: attention at how do I repair my vascular system my
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: blood vessels by taking better sources of full complex vitamin
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: C and vitamin E so that my blood vessels can heal.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: And therefore I don't need the cholesterol to patch fixiflats
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: or rather breaks or fractures in those blood vessels. And
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: now I'm bleeding out, so I have to have cholesterol
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: come in and try to stop the bleed of the vessel.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: I need to have more pliable blood vessels, which is
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: a specific portion of the vitamin C complex known as
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: the prothrombon factors or the P factors. And so a
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: whole vitamin C food that actually has all the phyto
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: nutrients of the entire complex is a much better option
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: than cholesterol lowering medication. But again, I tend to approach
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: things from a natural standpoint. I think the body knows
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: better what to do as long because it's given the
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: nutrition given it, So you do you and all do me.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: Last was the most hilarious one though. The fifth and
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: final thing that you really want to be careful with
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: is aluminum. So if you're out there taking an aluminum supplement,
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: which I don't know of any that exists, but they
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: said there are some medications like antacids that have luminiminum
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: and warfarin. I thought, one more reason to not like warfarin.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: It's got aluminum in it. Great, that's a heavy metal
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: I think we could do without. Now, true vitamin C
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: with the whole complex actually collathorates aluminum and other heavy
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: metals and removes them from the body. But if you're
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: taking high dose synthetic ascorbic acid, you're probably affecting all
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: kinds of things that you really don't want to affect,
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: And so it says that it could affect the absorption
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: of your warfriin or anti coagulant medication. I'm thinking, I
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: don't know about you, but the last thing I would
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: want is really thin blood. So I bleed out every orfice.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: But again, if we have a stroke and our blood
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: vessels are weak and we're lacking vitamin C and vitamin
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: E in they're full complex, I suppose taking a synthetic
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: C would be bad on all levels. So you know,
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: it's just shocking. When I saw aluminum, I was just like,
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: are you kidding me? Who takes an aluminum supplement? Well,
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: I drink it every day in my pop. Well, yes,
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: I suppose that is one way to get lots of
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: aluminum in your body, and you could have aluminum cookware
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: that would be wonderful, But apparently you're not supposed to
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: do vitamin C with those things. Just to let you know,
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: So I feel like I've done my good due diligence
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: now today to report to you that you should not
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: take aluminum with vitamin C supplementation if it's synthetic ascorbic acid.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: So there you go. I thought this was quite enlightening,
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: quite laughable, and quite ridiculous, but I hope we also
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: interjected some actual, real information so that you could take
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: that and start making some better decisions about how you
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: get vitamin C in your body and perhaps some other
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: vitamins and minerals as well. Until next time, I'm doctor Troy,
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: and remember there is way more right with you than
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: there is wrong with you.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: The information on this podcast from doctor Troy Munson is
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: meant to educate the listener on a variety of health issues.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: It is not meant to diagnose or treat any conditions.
