Vitamin C Protects Heart, Arteries & Body
Vitamin C is one of Mother Nature’s most essential elements for good health. In addition to its other vital functions – such as prevention of scurvy, vitamin C is also active in preventing capillaries hemorrhaging, those tiny blood vessels that directly feed the body’s cells. (We take 1,000 to 3,000 mg mixed “C” daily, plus grape seed extract.)
Smoking Robs Your Body of Vitamin C
Tobacco neutralizes Vitamin C in your body, robbing you of its vital protection. Dr. W. J. McCormick –
When capillaries in the artery walls hemorrhage, there is additional blockage to the blood flow. When this occurs in the heart or brain, a serious clot may form. In the legs and feet serious breakdown of the capillaries may occur. Sometimes this leads to gangrene, requiring an amputation and sometimes it causes varicose veins. So you can see how essential Vitamin C is to the healthy functioning of your heart, bloodstream and entire body.
All Smokers – Stop Smoking Today!
Many smokers are so addicted to this unhealthy and filthy habit that they become cry babies, saying, It’s impossible for me to break the habit of smoking. All we can say is, Rubbish! Who controls your body – the tobacco or you? Flesh is dumb! It has no intelligence. Your mind (your miracle computer) must control your body! The mind can always force the body to obey its orders! QUIT SMOKING! All smokers must stop this vicious, deadly habit that destroys health, youth, energy and life. Caffeine is a Dangerous Habit: How much coffee do you drink? Research found that 17% of Americans have 1 cup daily, 15% – 2 cups, 10% – 3 cups, 7% – 4 cups, 12% – 5 or more cups and 38% no coffee at all. Never use coffee and caffeine products if you want super health!

A Deep Desire Has Great Power
In our crusades worldwide we have had health students in our classes who have smoked for as many as 50 years – and they stopped, without tapering off. They simply made up their minds to stop smoking at once – and they did. They stopped without the use of nicotine patches, nicotine gum, etc., as these are dangerous, too!
Of course the brave souls who are quitting suffer for a few days as their nerves cry out for the nicotine fix of the deadly tobacco. However, they find the intestinal fortitude and purpose to take the brief punishment of their withdrawal discomforts. They are fighting a monster that controlled them. They can and will win their battle!

Picture yourself as you would like to be. Believe for the moment that such an image is possible. In forming good habits and breaking bad ones, we have to deal with thought habits. As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. Think, No smoking! Tell yourself over and over that your smoking is slowly killing you and that it’s your enemy. Say to yourself over and over again, Tobacco in any form is a killer and I am through with this vicious poison forever! Repeat, I will not smoke! Over and over again.
