Re: Candida leaky gut diet and supplements

Hi Jez,

You must find your own Bowel Tolerance amount, i.e. that amount your body is actually indicating it wants/needs/can absorb, at any particular time. Read the first ten [or so] paragraphs from/of this article http://vitamincfoundation.org/www.orthomed.com/titrate.htm. There you will note that one's Bowel Tolerance, depending upon one's overall health, can vary from below 10 grams to over 200 grams per day [in many divided doses]. As just one example, Jez, you'll note Dr. Cathcart lists typical Bowel Tolerances for candidiasis, of a low of 15 grams per day, to a high of over 200 grams per day [in 6 to 25 divided doses]. You must let your bodily situation, at any point in time, "dictate" that [amount/need] to you.

As "grist for your mill," Jez: I began 20 years ago with a daily Bowel Tolerance limit of 10 to 15 grams. That "limit,", i.e. daily dose, has very gradually, but steadily, increased over that time to where it is now well in excess of 50 grams daily. The resulting health to me has been: no sickness whatsoever, including even headaches; no need for any doctors [the very occasional dentist excepted]; and no need for any drugs whatsoever, including any-and-all pains-killers, be they over-the-counter or prescription [the very occasional injection of "Novocaine" excepted].

My "suggestion" [for the very best of health], Jez, is to ingest all of the toxin neutralizing/antioxidizing ascorbic acid that you are able to ingest, e.g. a Bowel Tolerance dose daily [as I do]. Why not just start "experimenting" and see what results?

I hope that helps, Jez, and I wish you the best of success in regaining your health. If you have any other questions, comments, and/or concerns, about ascorbate therapy, please post them and/or contact me privately.

Best regards,

David
