On April 10, 2009 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I had two opinions and both recommended double mastectomy and chemotherapy. Through my experience as a skin care professional, I was well aware of the body’s ability to heal itself given the right tools. After speaking with many doctors, I chose NOT to take the conventional route of removing my breasts and under going chemotherapy. I decided to try a lot of natural healing methods and give my body the tools to get well. And now, I want to save other women the time and the money by sharing my story. 
Liposomal Vitamin C: The Benefits and How to Make it at Home
Liposomal Vitamin C is useful in increasing the body’s immune system and fighting off different kinds of diseases and illnesses. High doses of Vitamin C have benefits and are helpful in treating cancer. According to Dr. Thomas Levy’s findings, this type of oral C could match the efficacy of Vitamin C by IV.
He realized that the combination of Vitamin C and phospholipids, which are liposomes, radically improved cellular bioavailability. Since Vitamin C is water soluble, only 20% enters the cell walls. But when coated with a substance similar to the cell walls, Vitamin C bypasses the digestive system so it doesn’t get broken down and can make its way into the cells with a 90% absorption rate, thus avoiding side effects such as diarrhea which can be associated with high doses of oral C.
Liposomes are double layer, liquid filled bubbles made from phospholipids. One such liposome is lecithin, which we will use to make our Liposomal C. Researchers discovered that you could fill these spheres. Once filled, they can protect and deliver therapeutic agents into the body and even into specific cells. Liposomes are nearly identical to the bilayer construction of the cell membranes that surround each of the cells in the human body.
Why Vitamin C?
Vitamin C not only prevents and reverses the oxidative damage, but it also strongly stimulates the natural antimicrobial and antitoxic properties of the immune system.
How to make your own Liposomal C
What you will need:
- 2 glass jars
- Non GMO lecithin or Sunflower lecithin
- Organic Vitamin C – I recommend Starwest Botanicals Organic Rosehip Powder
- 1 ultrasonic 16oz jewelry cleaner
Directions:
1. Combine 1 cup of filtered water with 3 Tablespoons of lecithin in one jar. Put the lid on and shake well to incorporate. Let sit about an hour until dissolved.
2. In the other jar, combine ½ cup of water and 2 tablespoons of Vitamin C and mix well.
3. Next, put the ingredients from both jars in a blender. Blend until incorporated. Then place the mixture in the jewelry cleaner and run for 3 to 10 cycles, stirring occasionally.
4. When finished, put the mixture in a glass jar and store in the refrigerator.
5. The ultrasonic agates the mixture so the lecithin coats the Vitamin C.
6.Take at least one teaspoon full first thing in the morning. Take as much as needed throughout the day.
