Your contributions to mha have amounted to nothing more than playing

How does that feel?

PeterB

There is no way PeteyB is out of high-school. Possibly primary.

And your contributions to mha have amounted to nothing more than a
promotion for vaccine, and other dangerous drugs. I guess that has to
do with your trip to the wizard after your original online personality
started to crumble under pressure. Com'on, cathy, give us some of that
hellfire preaching you used to whip up for the masses. Wasn't that
soccer mom approach working for you in those days? *chuckles*

PeterB

Definitely primary. It obviously wasn't enough for Petey to display his
ignorance by claiming that vitamin C converts hydrogen into oxygen for
us to breathe.


I never said hydrogen converts to oxygen for us to breathe, I said we
can't breathe when the energy-exchange between hydrogen and oxygen
break down.

PeterB, I have rarely seen such a blatant, bald faced lie. If it
wouldn't make me feel too much like JD, I'd call you a l...

Go for it. It doesn't change the fact that vitamin C is necessary for
life, or that without vitamin C, hydrogen would not continue to fuel
the energy-exchange process using activated oxygen

Petey, that's an absolute nonsense. I don't expect you to believe me,
because you don't understand what you're saying on this topic, let
alone what anyone else does, but you're making a fool of yourself
again.

Then try eliminating vitamin C from your diet and get back to me in a
year. If the hydrogen in your sugars is still fueling your body at
that time, you're going to win the nobel prize and turn nutritional
science on its head. We'll cheer you on every step of the way...


because you would
be dead. The fact I didn't originally elaborate on the process

You mean, of course, the fact that you originally said something
utterly different, and just as ridiculous:

"Ascorbic acid is the redux (sic) agent necessary for conversion of
hydrogen to oxygen, so we don't even breathe without it."

Again, conversion of hydrogen into energy permits use of oxygen

No it doesn't. And hydrogen, you halfwit, is not converted into energy.

Dimwitted cathy won't deny that hydrogen atoms in sugar chemically fuel
production of energy. The loss of an electron or hydrogen atom is
required for oxidation, without which cellular respiration cannot
occur. In that sense, hydrogen is "converted" to energy, just not
directly. Her comments are purely argumentative.

Why are you torturing yourself like this? It becomes clearer with every
post that your original idiocy about vitamin C turning hydrogen into
oxygen was only the tip of the iceberg of your ignorance.

She will continue frothing at the mouth despite any clarification of
earlier comments. A typical pharma blogging tactic designed to
discredit other posters.

without which life ceases. As for ascorbic acid and cellular
respiration, it isn't clear whether cessation of life in the absence of
vitamin C happens due to disruption in the citric cycle or not

Yes it is. Vitamin C deficiency causes death by scurvy because we need
it to make collagen.

You were either careless or you are reframing your argument. If it's
clear that cessation of life in the absence of vitamin C happens due to
disruption in the citric cycle directly, you seem to be arguing against
yourself. Either way, it's true that vitamin C is a critical nutrient
for life and not just in the prevention of scurvy. My original point
was that vitamin C is a means for preventing and treating most heart
disease.

Which has naff-all to do with your increasingly hysterical statements
about oxygen, hydrogen, vitamin C and energy.

The hysteria is all yours. I am happy to discuss the use of natural
medicine in human health in purely functional terms. Obviously, you
are here to distract from that effort.

, but
that's purely academic if one supplements 500mg vitamin C on a daily
basis.

LOL.


doesn't
mean you get to interpret what I meant, but I can't blame a pharma
blogger for trying.



Tsk, tsk -- now I'll have to give you an "F" on your english paper.

Now he's insisting that we know all about his social inadequacies as
well.

Bless.


I really do almost feel sorry for you. This can't be easy. Just think
of how much fun I have doing this for free. And the pain is going to
get MUCH worse in the days ahead. Are you prepared? Take my advice
and get a real job before its too late.
