Hi Natway,

In theory, you have a plausible argument. The problem is, it is basically just "theoretical" for the reason that we humans no longer eat a natural raw diet.

If we lived [strictly] on the "garden of Eden" diet, e.g. raw fruits and vegetables [and perhaps some raw nuts and seeds], then I agree, we would be ingesting all of the "vitamin C" we needed to remain healthy. Or, even if we practiced strict calorie restriction [as all wild animals do (and must)], we could remain healthy with a portion of raw, i.e. vitamin C containing, food. But that is not the case for virtually all people in today's modern world.

Using vitamin C, i.e. ascorbic acid, supplementally is to make-up for that lack. As Dr. Robert Cathcart, M.D. wrote, "The ascorbate effect is where massive doses of vitamin C are used where we are mostly throwing away the vitamin C for the electrons carried. With massive amounts of ascorbate it is possible to neutralize the massive amounts of free radicals generated mostly by the damage to mitochondria of infectious diseases, allergies, and injuries. Under most conditions, the electrons carried by free radical scavengers, come from the metabolism of glucose in the mitochondria. The amount of electrons from this source, when the mitochondria are not damaged, are sufficient when we are well to neutralize the free radicals of living. However, when we are sick, and especially where the mitochondria are damaged, the free radicals overwhelm the mitochondrial ability to make electrons available. In these cases, vitamin C, in massive amounts, can be the source of the necessary numbers of electrons, to eliminate most of the free radicals of diseases when under stress. The ordinary doses of vitamin C, vitamin E, beta carotene, etc. cannot suffice."

So you see, it is the "free"/extra/alkalinizing/toxin neutralizing/antioxidizing ELECTRONS we are after, to overcome our unnatural dietary "sins," i.e. in order to remain healthy. And ascorbic acid/"vitamin C" is absolutely the best source of those electrons [supplementally] that I am aware of.

Just my viewpoint and "two cents worth," Natway, and thank you for sharing.

Sincerely,

David
