question re Vit C

[Rosemary Perth Aust.]

Does anyone know the amount in grams that the body can absorb at any one time so I don’t waste it. I’m using Wagners powder, around 2 grams for herxing but just guessing the amount. Herxing like crazy from the H202 but its working wonders I am thrilled.
Using as a detox and systemic antifungal. I eased off yesterday and was scratching again like crazy, even with diflucan. glad to be back on it today. Still pretty badly herxing though but the difference to my legs is amazing, it is getting rid of my numb feet. I can’t believe it. I did not herx to start with, that was the problem, so I thought maybe I was not going to at all. Big mistake. Thing is to be able to distinguish between herx and a problem, and believe me I was worried for a while wondering, it was so bad.

Hi Rosemary,

It varies, but one way to know if you’ve taken too much vitamin C at one time is that it will give you diarrhea.

I found the links below interesting. Various dosages are listed.

Read the paragraph: “Titrating to Bowel Tolerance http://www.orthomed.com/titrate.htm
The maximum relief of symptoms which can be expected with oral doses of ascorbic acid is obtained at a point just short of the amount which produces diarrhea. The amount and the timing of the doses are usually sensed by the patient. The physician should not try to regulate exactly the amount and timing of these doses because the optimally effective dose will often change from dose to dose……I think it is only that excess amount of ascorbate not absorbed into the body which causes the diarrhea; what does not reach the rectum, does not cause diarrhea.

Warm wishes, Krys

Strange you know, I had been taking about 2 grams which obviously was not reaching the bowel as I did not have the d’s
when I use it with the himalayan salt I can only take a level 1 gram spoon of each before getting it, so it certainly kills more with the salt. Using it alone for herxing seems you can take a fair amount and yes of course everyone is different particularly when you are taking supplements that bind and loosen. Thanks guys. I am still hurting like h–l and feeling sorry for myself. serves me right. At least I know it is working. Thanks both of you for you help.
