A viewer asks: “Creator has said that Liposomal Vitamin C from Vitablosom could help with gum disease of viral origin. Is this also likely to be safe and effective if given to dogs? There aren’t any obvious dog toxic additives on the label. I understand that dogs naturally synthesize vitamin C in their liver, unlike humans, and that oral vitamin C is generally well tolerated in dogs, but very high doses can cause diarrhea or gastrointestinal upset. Given this product has a serving size of 2 ml (40 drops) and vitamin C per serving of 2,000 mg, would 5 drops (0.25–0.28 ml of 1:1 diluted solution ≈140 mg vitamin C), be safe and effective for a dog of 7kg?”

Would it be advantageous to add vitamin C to our Antiviral Regimen? Would it effectively replace galangal as number 10 on the list, or does it deserve to be higher in rank order than number 10 on the list? If worthy of addition to the Antiviral Regimen, what would its rank be in having antitumor effects?

Vitablosom offers a supplement that is a liquid formulation of Liposomal Vitamin C. It contains 2000mg in a 2 ml volume. It seems like that would be enough volume to swish around the teeth and gums, and could be added to an equal volume of water if more convenient or necessary to soften the taste. Would using this supplement daily be an effective way to get enough topical antiviral activity to counteract viral gum disease significantly?

We are comparing these 3 vitamin C solutions: #1. Vita Pop Korean Vitamin C Powder 2,000mg High Absorption, Zero Sugar, Lemon Flavor, Vitamin D & Biotin is described as needing no water, just open an individual dose pack and take the powder; #2. Dr. Mercola Liquid Liposomal Vitamin C – Antioxidant & Immune Support Supplement – Includes Vitamin E – GMO-Free, Gluten-Free & Soy-Free – Citrus Vanilla Flavor – 450 mL (30 Servings) has 1000 mg per serving; #3. Vitablosom offers a supplement that is a liquid formulation of Liposomal Vitamin C, and it contains 2000mg in a 2 ml volume. Will the liposomal formulations work effectively for topical application of vitamin C as a mouthwash?

The makers of Good-Gums toothpaste heavily promote its local delivery of vitamin C as being highly beneficial for gum care. Is that just marketing hype or is it a valid claim?

I found a single published case report of someone with recurrent periodontal disease who was studied and found to have a high Epstein-Barr viral load subgingivally. Antiviral treatment with Valtrex for a period of 10 days reduced the virus to the detection limit and the periodontal disease improved dramatically. The condition was stable when checked a year later and the virus was still barely detectable. [PT Sunde, et al. Patient with severe periodontitis and subgingival Epstein-Barr virus treated with antiviral therapy. J Clin Virol 2008 Jun;42(2):176-8.] Viral screening is not done routinely for patients with chronic gingivitis. Was this a meaningful example of what could be achieved readily with a shift in thinking by periodontists to try an antiviral in patients, especially those with severe chronic gum disease?

As has been conjectured by researchers that pathogenic bacteria from chronic gum disease might find their way to the brain and influence or cause dementia, could chronic viruses from inflamed gums seed virus to cause sites of infection not only in brain, but in other organs and tissues, like the cardiovascular system, kidney, liver, pancreas, thyroid, etc?

You told us in a channeling that in about 80% of periodontal disease cases, the chronic gingivitis is actually caused by a virus, and a search of the literature turned up some scientific support of viral involvement in that disorder. A paper by M. Kazi, et al. (J. Clin. Diag. Res., 2015 Jul, Vol-9(7): DC05-DC08) describes that among 75 patients with periodontitis, 81.33% as a group had detectable HSV-1, HSV-2, Epstein-Barr virus, or cytomegalovirus. Although scientifically, this is only showing an association of virus presence, is this actually reflecting true causation of the illness for those patients?
