Re: Re Re Re A whole lemon working better than ascorbic etc. C,

Thank you so very much for your very detailed post. From what I am researching, first the urine ph does no way reflect the blood ph, or acidic urine would mean we were disastrously ill. 2nd, though, some who point that fact out do say that over years of being too acid one can start to feel ill effects.

I do not understand why they call Vitamin C a "weak acid." It seems more acid than meat, for example, per urine ph for whatever that is worth. I have done tons of urine testing for over a year with ph papers and all is just as they say. Meat, milk, grains etc. make the urine more acid. Fresh fruits & veggies make it more alkaline. So when I see those papers staying yellow, the more C I take, even with lots of fresh fruits & veggies & lemon juice and apple cider vinegar, I know its pretty acidic.

On the other hand, the C has all those electron benefits as you point out. And I, too, wondered how bad the acidity issue could be with it when so many people are getting miraculous cures from mega mega mega doses.

That guy in a coma in New Zealand, for example, got tons of C IV and liposomals and now he is running around healthy.

Wow! You really take a lot. I may do the same thing. Yesterday I was at 20 grams with no ill effects, but I can't say I feel better adrenal/energy wise. (In the past, as I mentioned, Vitamin C made all the difference to pull me out of a crash.) As of this afternoon I am taking some liposomal C. I can't afford to take a lot, but did get one box of 30 packets where each packet is 1 gram.

I have so far taken 2 pairs, 2 hours apart, just to see how I tolerate them. Can't tell a difference yet, one way or another. Well, maybe I feel a little sense of peace of something. Very tenuous.

I keep remembering what you said about "dose, dose, dose." I keep remembering how Levy was injecting up to 100 -300 grams or so into people to get them over disastrous illnesses. That's even more powerful than your powders. That's a lot of acidity! But they thrived.

I am tempted to, and might, take about 15 packets at one time tomorrow just to get a really good dose. But I tend to be impulsive and over do it at times. Maybe not.

I am just going to pray and experiment and go by how my body feels, at least for now. I figure a couple of weeks of mega mega mega dosing won't hurt, or at least if it does I will have some kind of clue from my body to slow down.

You've been very informative and I do appreciate that.

If I live - lol - and feel definitely better, I will come back and tell the results of my experiment. Tweet
