Re: I'm a hot mess
Hi Ten,
You wrote, "I read people posting in the Vit C forum it makes us Acidic and is terrible for us, wtf? lol I don't really believe that..."
As "grist for your mill" I'd like to relate a little of my own background [as it relates to the "makes us acidic" common belief]. I started Bowel Tolerance dosing in 1994, and my Bowel Tolerance initially was around 15 to 20 grams per day. As I have gradually cleaned out/up my GI Tract, my Bowel Tolerance is currently in the area of 75 to 100 grams per day [with nothing but the very BEST of health to show for it (and I'll be 64 next month)]. My experience has been, that just like lemon juice [as one example], ascorbic acid is ultimately ALKALINIZING in our bodies. I believe this is because of the extra anti-oxidizing electrons it carries. This is why, from my view, it is so helpful in virtually ALL human [physical] health maladies.
I have never heard of it being used as a skin and hair softener, but nothing would surprise me [anymore] about this virtually miraculous substance!
Thanks for sharing,
David
