Question About the Ester-cQuestion by TC (NYC)
Replied by Ted (Bangkok, Thailand)
I've used ester-c for years now to help with colds viruses etc. it also has added bioflavanoids.
Both ester-c you are referring to and the bioflavonoids have antiviral properties. They work together quite well.
Put it in with the H2O2 because c is free radical scavenger and peroxide causes free O2.
When you take vitamin C and antioxidants, you will take it at different times of the day with H2O2. Assuming you take antioxidant in the morning and you take H2O2 in the afternoon. They will both kill the virus, but in different ways. Antioxidants act on your body to do the killing, while H2O2, kills it directly without the need for your immune system's help. Just make sure H2O2 and antioxidants are not taken at the same time. If you insist to take it as close as possible, then it is at least about 2 hours apart. Yes I timed it!
Isn't malic acid an excellent free radical scavenger
You need to get a Redox meter and measure the millivolts. A negative value means antioxidant, and positive means an oxidant. Then you will know it is the alkalinity and the vitamin C can influence this the most. At about 8 pH of ascorbate it is about -100 millivolts or or more. On this basis this is the most antioxidant on basis of millivolts measurements. A simple lemon with baking soda can easily surpass negative -100 millivolts. Malic acid reacted with alkaline bicarbonate is also antioxidant, but not nearly as powerful as an alkaline form of vitamin C (ascorbic acid + baking soda).
