Electron Quotes

"Quite simply and quite elegantly: All infections do their damage, with what is called oxidative stress, by electron theft or electron robbery. And the laboratory tests show this. All toxins act the same way. Vitamin C is an antioxidant. And it's really that simple. "Electron flow: Whether electrons are taken away, or whether electrons are donated, is the final common denominator as to whether you make somebody better or worse. "All infections and all toxins cause cell tissue damage and produce symptoms by increasing oxidative stress. Period. That's it. No exceptions. There's no other magical way your body gets damaged. It's when you get increased oxidative stress....Increased oxidative stress (intracellular and/or extracellular) causes all diseases, and causes all disease symptoms. “All human ailments have increased oxidative stress at one site or another, in varying degrees and intensities. No exceptions. There is no disease if there is no increased oxidative stress somewhere. "At the molecular level, oxidative stress is the depletion of electrons from the molecules that are oxidized. The more molecules there are that are oxidized, the more oxidative stress that is present. This represents not only a theory, but a highly efficient and accurate working model in clinical medicine. "The defining property of a nutrient is to metabolize into one or more substances that have the ability to donate electrons (REDUCTION). Antioxidant = Nutrient and Nutrient = Antioxidant. The defining property of a toxin, directly or indirectly, is its ability to deplete electrons (OXIDATION). Pro-oxidant = Toxin and Toxin = Pro-oxidant. This is not an over-simplification....Everything that is toxic, whether it is cyanide that kills you in 30 seconds, or 10 grams of mercury that gradually gives you multiple-sclerosis as you get older; they are both doing their damage in the same manner. They're just not doing it at the same site, to the same degree, to the same rapidity. "Even though there is a tremendous variety of molecular structure among all the known toxins, they all share the same property of taking, or causing to take, electrons from other molecules; oxidizing them and causing a state of increased oxidative stress. If a molecule does not cause the loss of one or more electrons from another molecule, it IS NOT TOXIC and it CANNOT BE TOXIC. It's a synonym: Toxic = Oxidant; Oxidant = Toxic. Toxicity and any symptoms of toxicity can not exist unless electrons are being taken from other molecules (oxidation). "Vitamin C is an especially useful antioxidant since its simple chemical structure allows it access to nearly all parts of the body, including inside the cell as well as inside the cell's subcellular compartments. "All toxic effects are caused by excess oxidative stress. That's it. There is no other way in which a toxin can be toxic beyond the impairment of electron supply and flow in the biomolecules of the affected tissues. And this is precisely why properly-dosed vitamin C, before the point of irreversible tissue damage, will neutralize the toxicity of any toxin exposure or poisoning encountered. It doesn't matter what chemical structure or molecular type the toxin is. Big, small, water-soluble, fat-soluble, ionic, neutral -- it doesn't matter. "...the power of vitamin C, resulting from its incredible ability to donate electrons, as an antioxidant....it is this very attribute of vitamin C that accounts for most of its potent antimicrobial and toxin-neutralizing qualities. However, no other antioxidant can perform the many additional physiological and biological roles that vitamin C fills. "Electron flow supply: high flow = health; low flow = illness; no flow = death. “Health exists when electrons flow fully and freely; illness exists when this flow is significantly impaired; and death occurs when this flow stops. "All good nutritional nutrients are (ultimately) always antioxidants, and all antioxidants are always (ultimately) nutrients. The ability to donate electrons means it is a nutrient. Toxins are always oxidants, and oxidants are always toxic. The ability to take electrons away, means it is a toxin (and is synonymous with toxins of all varieties). To my knowledge yet, no exceptions. "All disease symptoms are induced by oxidants, i.e. electron depletion. "All antioxidants replete electrons, and it is by that mechanism that you get pain relief or resolution of any particular symptom. It is literally that simple. "Vitamin C is proven effective against all toxins. “In most senses of the the word, scurvy, or focal scurvy, can be considered the focal pathology of all diseases. "Everything you ingest, when it is metabolized and brought down to a molecular level, is going to do one of three things: it's going to give up an electron; it's going to take an electron away; or in extremely rare circumstances, it is going to be electronically inert, and do neither. There's really no other options. “...demonstrating the ability of vitamin C to act as the ultimate antidote in reversing the toxicity of otherwise fatal doses of agents such as carbon monoxide, pesticides, barbiturates, and even heavy metals....the results are so dramatic....to neutralize virtually any toxic substance, and even the dangerous effects of radiation....to reliably neutralize any toxin treated, when sufficiently dosed and administered for a long enough period of time. "All therapy is electron repletion. All therapy." [all emphasis mine]
