Seaweed is a replacement for vitamin C? I guess the space aliens have started pouring out of the hollow moon too.

No doubt seaweed is excellent food.  Fucoidan is great for you.  High dose oral vitamin C is an excellent preventive measure for degenerative diseases.

Seaweed contains:  Fucoidan.  Vitamin C.  Fucoidan tightly binds vitamin c, dragging vitamin C around with it.  Weight per weight, edible kelp has more vitamin C than oranges.  Is an orange a substitute for vitamin C?  Not yes and no.  Just simply no.  Oranges are a source of vitamin C.  Seaweed is a source of vitamin C.

Is fucoidan a substitute for ascorbic acid (vitamin C)?  Absolutely not.  Not even a deranged third grader would be puzzled by the fact that vitamin C can only replace vitamin C.  An alternate statement might be: "Fucoidan - A Substitute For Vitamin C."  Nope.  Not to mention the fact that the high molecular weight fucoidan doesn't enter the blood stream (or bind to arteries), that you have to inject intravenously an artificial preparation of low molecular weight fucoidan for any substantial tracing of thromboses, it is the vitamin C in seaweed doing vitamin C things, not seaweed.  Anyone can wander into a normal grocery store and see (not vitamin C) for themselves.  Pick up a pack of dried edible seaweed, look at the nutritional facts, and there it is - 20% of the USRDA of Vitamin C.

This is not Nobel Laureate science, which is why I have nothing whatsoever to do with this strange turn towards completely erroneous self-published, non-peer reviewed....artifacts of vitamin C being inside seaweed itself (and bound to fucoidan).  You can only fathom what insanity is required for this sort of childish and infantile nonsense. 

Only Vitamin C can serve where Vitamin C is needed.  Even in 2016.  It is best stated by Dr. Mark Levine of the US NIH:

Vitamin C: the known, the unknown, and Goldilocks.

Cellular Medicine? You mean "Nutritional Medicine" don't you?

It cannot possibly be trademarked.  Why?  Because ALL medicine targets cells.  Arguably, the macro specialties such as craniofacial, orthopedic, internal, respiratory, ENT, digestive, vision, hearing, etc. refer to different things...which are all constituted by...roll the drums!!  CELLS!  No way!

So with this additional prima fascie obviousness, we reach a ridiculous level of absurdity to insinuate a deeper understanding of cell biology than say, Lubert Stryer or Becker, Reece, and Poenie all of who taught these types of buffoons around the world everything they know.  Which part of the cell?  All of them or just the nucleus?  The mitochondria and the lysosomes or just the lysosomes, or is it the ER or Golgi, both, all or just one?  So many questions which are all answered above.  All medicine is cellular in affect, making for a ridiculous statement to say, "Cellular Medicine."  Of course it is cellular.  But where?  Outside the cell?  Extracellular medicine?  Inside the cell?  Intracellular medicine?  Between cells?  Intercellular medicine?  Besides this, there is no possible trademark for it.  It would be like trying to trademark "Drinking Water."

With that, what they really mean is modulating all sorts of biochemical pathways by food.  Nobody else tries to call a horse a pig, or a pig a salesman, but some try to call nutritional medicine, "cellular medicine," which of course is true, just as drinking water is drinkable and is made of water.

It is a comic tragedy that something so important to change peoples' lives for the better gets usurped by the forces of insanity, greed, and powerlust.  Some throw their weight around, and plenty they have of it, in a show of monkey hierarchy.  Like a troop of apes, the alpha ape has to make sure to beat down the others.  The humanity of medicine anywhere and everywhere is lost to these negative characteristics too often.  Give a person a little bit of power, a little bit of money, and you unmask the true person dwelling underneath.  Sometimes it is a totally different person than the mask.

After dismissing buffoonery, it must be emphasized that vitamins and minerals are essential to prevent cancer.  Deficiencies of these nutrients create DNA breaks and damage comparable to large doses of harmful ionizing radiation.  DNA damage is the essence of heritable and somatic carcinogenesis, especially when this mistake is not repaired, the cell not programmed for death, and the new DNA contains errors.  There are other non-genetic ways that a cell can become cancerous, but not many.  The strongest evidence to support the use of vitamins and minerals as a cancer prevention tool was generated by Bruce Ames.  Someone else may claim that they came up with this idea, but they simply did not.  Bruce Ames is the pioneer and expert upon this idea which validates nutritional medicine as key to preventing cancer in the general populace.  If you are a skeptic of all this because of all the buffoonery, and you read nothing else, read this.

Eradicating Borrelia Biofilm with Stevia and Lactoferrin

Stevia greatly reduces borrelia biofilm and is very safe, non-toxic at even very high doses of oral ingestion.  Good to know my bottle of stevia powder sugar substitute is killing borrelia biofilm. 

From the Sapi lab in the USA:

Effectiveness of Stevia Rebaudiana Whole Leaf Extract Against the Various Morphological Forms of Borrelia Burgdorferi in Vitro 

 

 

Lactoferrin above 40mg/L (200mg/day/human) eradicates borrelia biofilms (Sapi, et. al)

Lactoferrin not only sequesters iron, but manganese from borrelia.  Borrelia manganese is currently a therapeutic target of the Bay Area Lyme Disease consortium (not affiliated with DRRI).

Milk and Stevia offer solutions to the reservoir of borrelia persistence, biofilm.

Green Tea and Heart? Is this a Joke?

No.

Others tend towards comedy by saying things like "Seaweed - A Substitute For Ascorbic Acid" (it is not and cannot be) while showing all sorts of convincing looking artifacts of the ascorbic acid provided by seaweed (and that vitamin C bound to fucoidan).  Next they will claim that oranges are a substitute for vitamin C in their ultimate brilliance.

Green Tea is no joke.  It is ridiculously ubiquitous yet also ridiculously powerful medicine.  God's gift to mankind indeed.

Coordinated regulation of murine cardiomyocyte contractility by nanomolar (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate, the major green tea catechin. 

 

What?!?  10 nanomolar EGCG ( 0.01uM or 0.00001mM) that which can be achieved orally through tea or  capsules helps strengthen heart muscle contraction - a great thing for heart failure patients.

Polyphenols are notorious for their low bioavailability, underneath that needed for therapeutic thresholds, but not for increasing heart pumping strength.
