High Doses of Vitamin C....Lam "Re-setting" period
Has anyone else ever gone through the Dr Lam “resetting period”. I went through it a couple of years ago.
This is when a supplement that was making you feel better....suddenly makes you feel much worse. You stop that supplement and almost feel cured you feel so good.
For me it was Vitamin C (large doses). Has anyone else gone through this? Was it only Vitamin C? Did anyone go through this with any OTHER supplement?
Dr Lam said at the time he really did understand the mechanism. Since I have been researching minerals and heavy metals, I have a couple of theories on what causes it. Wanted to see what you guys think.
Option 1:
Once the Vitamin C gives the adrenals enough strength, it can start to chelate metals. There are several metals that Vitamin C is very effective in removing.
So it could be that stopping the Vitamin C stops the detox symptoms.
Option 2:
Larry Wilson doesn’t like high doses of Vitamin C since he has found that it pulls out not only toxic metals, but other minerals as well.
This guy at Acu-Cell makes pretty much the exact same claim, that high doses of vitamin C does negatively affects minerals and mineral ratios.

This might explain why the high doses of Vitamin C made several people feel much worse immediately, and actually took them awhile to recover.
