Re: I'm experimenting with Vitamin C
Hi Donna,
Here is my "two cents" worth: As "grist for your mill," I myself have taken a "bowel tolerance" dose
http://www.orthomed.com/titrate.htm (in HEALTH, not illness) of ascorbic acid every day since 1994, amounting to, on average, 30,000 to 60,000 milligrams (approximately 1 to 2 ounces) in 5 to 10 divided doses (and will continue to do so for the rest of my life). This is MY "bowel tolerance" dosage. Your "bowel tolerance" dosage may be more, or less, than mine, and will undoubtedly vary depending on your current overall health and diet. Each person must find their own "bowel tolerance" dose each day (although ingesting ANY ascorbate is MUCH better than none). Virtually any mammal you can name (standardized to 154 pounds/70 kilos) produces a minimum of from 2,000 to 19,000 milligrams of ascorbic acid EVERY day of its life, and under "stress" one was recorded to have produced 100,000 milligrams in 24 hours. Need we wonder why their health always seems to be so much better than ours?
If you have any questions and/or concerns Donna, and would like to get my viewpoint on any or all of them, please feel free to write.
You have all my best wishes for a successful resolution to your health issue.
Sincerely,
David
