Re: Candida leaky gut diet and supplements

Hi Jez,

Just curious: Why is it that you think daily Bowel Tolerance doses of ascorbic acid "would treat only the symptoms not the real cause?"

If you care to, consider the following quotes from Dr. Levy:

"Electron flow supply > high flow = health; low flow = illness; no flow = death.

"All good nutritional nutrients are [ultimately] always antioxidants, and all antioxidants are always [ultimately] nutrients. The ability to donate electrons means it is a nutrient. Toxins are always oxidants, and oxidants are always toxic. The ability to take electrons away, means it is a toxin [and is synonymous with toxins of all varieties]. To my knowledge yet, no exceptions.

"There are very few human diseases or medical conditions that are not improved, to at least some degree, by the regular dosing of optimal amounts of vitamin C.

"The three most important considerations in effective vitamin C therapy are 'Dose, Dose, and Dose.' If you don't take enough, you won't get the desired effects. Period!...you will rarely ever fail to observe a dramatic response...if you take a large enough dose for a long enough time.

"I am absolutely convinced of one thing -- when enough vitamin C is given...for a long enough time, vitamin C helps virtually every condition, resolves many of them, and prevents still others....Furthermore, I have never found a single article showing properly dosed and administered vitamin C to fail to improve the status of a toxic or infected patient.

"The evidence UNEQUIVOCABLY shows that mega-gram doses of vitamin C can prevent and CURE a vast list of conditions that plague mankind. It is both inexpensive and completely safe. My conclusion: vitamin C is the 'Primal Panacea.'"

All just "grist for your mill," Jez, and I wish you the best of success in solving your health issues. And, BTW, I certainly do think the dietary protocol you enumerated will be good for your overall health.

Best regards,

David
