   047: How High Dose Vitamin C Supports Heart Health | Diana Gifford-Jones

   High dose vitamin C for heart health is the natural approach Dr. W. Gifford-Jones chose over statins at age 75, and he lived another 28 years to 101. If your cholesterol keeps climbing even though you eat well and exercise, or you are weighing the side effects of a new statin prescription, this episode breaks down the research and the family story behind that choice. Diana Gifford-Jones, daughter of the late Dr. W. Gifford-Jones and now the writer of his 50 year health column, joins Vicky Hachey, RHN, to explain the Linus Pauling research behind high dose vitamin C and lysine, and how it became the foundation of the CardioVibe formula. You will hear how her father built his case against statins, why he compared vitamin C to cement and lysine to rebar for the walls of your arteries, and what a safe daily dose actually looks like. It is a timely conversation, since 2026 research keeps pointing to vitamin C as more than a cold and flu nutrient, with a growing role in vascular integrity and healthy aging. If you want the science behind a natural approach to heart health, and the real story behind a Canadian medical legacy, press play. In this Episode Learn why Dr. W. Gifford-Jones turned down a statin prescription at 75, chose high dose vitamin C for heart health instead, and lived to 101 while still writing his weekly column. Discover the Linus Pauling research behind vitamin C and lysine, and why Diana Gifford-Jones compares the combination to cement and rebar for the walls of your arteries. Find out why nearly half of people who have heart attacks have completely normal cholesterol levels, and what that means for how you think about your own heart disease risk. Hear how to safely build up a high dose vitamin C for heart health routine without upsetting your stomach, including Dr. Gifford-Jones' own 10,000 milligram daily dose. Learn what Diana Gifford-Jones means by natural remedies never kill anybody, and why she believes CardioVibe supports whole body prevention, not just heart health alone. Understand how Diana is continuing her father's 50 year legacy as a health columnist, and what her own Harvard trained public policy background adds to his work. Get Vicky's take on why anyone managing blood pressure, cholesterol, or simply healthy aging can benefit from adding vitamin C and lysine to their daily routine.
