Medical Forum / General / Alternative / March 2007Anyone use high dose vitamin C ?
I've read that large dose vitamin C might treat many ailments. Anyone ever try it ? Large dose meaning +18 grams (1800 milligrams) per day. Jamffer > I've read that large dose vitamin C might treat many ailments. Anyone > ever > try it ? Large dose meaning +18 grams (1800 milligrams) per day. > Jamffer 18 grams is 18,000 mg. I currently use 6 grams/day and have used 10 grams/day. I have nothing negative or positive to report.

Large dose meaning +18 grams (1800 milligrams) per day. >Jamffer I think you mean 18,000 milligrams per day. With many people, even if that dose is spread out evenly across the day, it's enough to cause diarrhea. As for "anyone ever try it," what, are you trolling? Zillions of people have tried it. -- David Wright :: alphabeta at prodigy.net These are my opinions only, but they're almost always correct. "HPV shots don't cause promiscuity.

Tequila shots do." -- Bill Maher Sorry about leaving off the zero 18,000 milligrams or 18 grams. My tolerance level is 13.5 grams (one dose) at present any more and I take a two minute trip to the bathroom. I have done as much as 35 grams in spaced doses (6) over 12 hours with only slight gas. Normally I don't do over 6 grams per serving because of the gas. For me it works as a decongestant. 4 grams don't work as well as 5 or 6 for me per serving. I am not advocating anyone do what I do , because one should do some research , before getting out the blender and dumping in a handful of C. I take multivitamin-mineral supplement and consume a lot of dairy products. Only take C every other day. If I do only 5 or 6 grams per serving there are only slight gas effects. I put them in the blender with 8 oz. water and tang or some other citrus powder mix. Tastes pretty good , only very tangy. Jamffer > I've read that large dose vitamin C might treat many ailments. Anyone ever > try it ? Large dose meaning +18 grams (18,000 milligrams) per day. > Jamffer Note: Only trying to find out if anybody is as crazy as me , and whether they had any negative consequences. So far so good for me. And no , I don't sell vitamins. Jamffer >> I've read that large dose vitamin C might treat many ailments. Anyone > ever [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > So far so good for me.

Ester C is easier on the system and is basically the equivalent of time release. > I've read that large dose vitamin C might treat many ailments. Anyone ever > try it ? Large dose meaning +18 grams (1800 milligrams) per day. Based on an extremely unscientific sample of two people and two trials each, 3 grams per day was followed four out of four times by kidney stones. No stones reported in more than 100 life-years except when taking large doses of ascorbic acid. | Bogus as it might seem, people, this really is a deliverable | | e-mail address.

The idea that vitamin C causes kidney stones has been soundly disproven over the years.

Exactly. Some people are more prone to accumulating oxalate, as well. > I have been taking 3 grams or more for several years and my kidneys are > fine. I take 600mg daily and might go higher, maybe top out around 1.5g daily. >> >> In message <12uphhtj2534...@corp.supernews.com>, Ghamph wrote: >> [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > I take 600mg daily and might go higher, maybe top out around 1.5g > daily. Coincident with C is Lysine and Magnesium. To make my other statement clearer. A higher percentage of people who take chemotherapy die of cancer than those who don't take chemo. The reason? Only people with cancer take chemo. > >> "PeterB" <p...@mytrashmail.com> wrote in message > [quoted text clipped - 32 lines] > > Coincident with C is Lysine and Magnesium.

People who take supplements are of a mix of higher probability to have endemic problems. > >> "PeterB" <p...@mytrashmail.com> wrote in message > [quoted text clipped - 43 lines] > Yes, but mostly because I have found research shows the combo to be > productive in overall health, circulation, mental capacity. I personally go for the shotgun approach, but those are good uses. > >> To make my other statement clearer. > >> A higher percentage of people who take chemotherapy die of cancer than [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > People who take supplements are of a mix of higher probability to have > endemic problems. That would be interesting in light of naysayers who like to suggest that people who take supplements are generally *more* healthy to begin with, possibly explaining their overall better health in the process. Even if it were true (and I don't think it is), it would not negate the evidence that supplemental vitamin C (for one) has been associated with reduced all-cause mortality even after adjusting for lifestyle factors (see Passwater studies.) I suppose there could be a subset of supplement takers who are indeed more prone to illness (just as those who take more medication would be), but I haven't seen any evidence that this is generally true. |
