I just spent the last hour reading through the archives (which I am sorry that I did not do prior to my post). I appreciate your response Owen, and the time that you have given selflessly on this forum. I too hope to have such a positive experience with Vitamin C and have a similar story! I am following Pauling's recommendations due to the fact that I have High Triglycerides, homocystein and cholesterol. I do hope that his helps. I am on Lipitor and I need to get off of it, the doctor wants to raise my dosage. Thanks again and peace to you and yours.
