Re: Can too much vit.C cause kidney problems?

Dear Tmmmy,

You're right. Your doctor doesn't
know a lot about nutrition. But
then, very few of them do.

I'm going to quote you some passages
from Doctor Thomas Levy's book,
VITAMIN C, INFECTIOUS DISEASES, &
TOXINS, that have to do with that
false allegation about vitamin C
causing kidney stones.

But first, let me say once again that I've been taking HUGE daily
doses of vitamin C since 1977, and
I'm in perfect health. My kidneys
work perfectly. If vitamin C caused
kidney stones, I would be a very
sick old duffer. Probably dead.

Here's Doctor Levy on page 377 of
his book: "A healthy person who avoids dehydration and ingests even
large amounts of vitamin C, does not
need to have any concern about kidney stone formation. In fact, there is strong evidence that regular supplementation of vitamin C
actually decreases the chance of
kidney stone development."

I'm walking proof of that statement.

However, Doctor Levy adds that even
healthy people should NOT take vitamin C in the form of calcium
ascorbate. It should always be taken
in the form of ascorbic acid, or
sodium ascorbate.

People who already have kidney disease, and who take calcium
supplements, like calcium carbonate,
and other oxalate-producing medications, should NOT take vitamin
C in the form of calcium ascorbate --especially since most of those
people are dehydrated.

However, sodium acorbate (my choice)
has been given in masssive amounts,
both intravenously and orally, and
there are NO reliable reports about
kidney-stone formation in any of the
patients who received it.

Aspartame, the toxic sweetener in
diet soft-drinks, produces oxalate
compounds which can and do cause
kidney stones. And that's just one
of the horrors of Aspartame. They are legion. But your doctor won't
warn you to stop drinking Diet-Pepsi.

Drink LOTS of water every day, Tammy. Eat clean living food. Take
vitamin C in the form of sodium
ascorbate crystals; work you way up
to 1,000 mg for every 10 lbs of body-weight. If you do, you will
outlive your doctor, and a whole
slew of other people who know nothing about good nutrition.

Blessings,

Owen
