Re: Psoriasis/Candida Help Dr. Jeff, I need help!

Hi Lot,

I again encourage you to read at least the first ten paragraphs of that article I linked in the first message. If you do, you will note that for candidiasis, for just one instance, typically requires on the order of 15,000mg to 200,000+mg, i.e. one-half ounce to 7+ ounces per day, to ameliorate the symptoms of this malady.

The point is this, Lot: Dosage is the key [and always is no matter what substance you are trying to use therapeutically]! As an example, if a doctor prescribed a dose of antibiotic to a patient, it would come with both an amount and frequency of dosage. Hypothetically, if that patient decided to cut that prescribed antibiotic dosage in half, and/or ingest it at one-half the prescribed frequency, and then did not get the results expected, could we really/honestly say that they tried the antibiotic out, and it did not work? And so it is with ascorbic acid. Dr. Robert Cathcart, M.D., wrote that he did not see significant results in his patients until they approached Bowel Tolerance: "The clinical symptoms of...diseases and other conditions...are markedly ameliorated only as bowel tolerance dose levels (the amount that almost, but not quite, causes diarrhea) are approached."

And this similarly from Dr. Thomas E. Levy, M.D.: "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."

All just grist for your [health] mill," Lot.

Best wishes,

David
