your help!

> ..........Also, about the vitamin C, I've read that only 500 mg can

be " processed " in your body at a time, and so if taking 1,000 mg at

once, then the other 500 mg is not used by the body but just flushed

out through our urine.  I saw in your articles that you recommend

taking 1,000 mg at a time.  So, just wondering if what I have read

about the 500 mg is true, or if it really is ok to take the 1,000 mg

and it will all be used by the body?

+++Hi . No, that cannot be true about vitamin C, since it has

been used by Orthomolecular Physicians in high doses to treat many

health problems, and they often recommend even higher amounts per

hour.

> I'm taking 6 tablespoons of C.O. per day, but it's by using it for

cooking.  I know I should be taking spoonfuls of them (drinking it),

but it just gags me.  Is it ok to do the 6 tbsp by using it to cook

with, or should I be swallowing it by spoonful?

+++You don't have to take coconut oil by the spoonful. There are

many ways to take it, and it is best with complete meals that contain

protein in particular.

> One last thing (sorry for all the questions!!  They kind of racked

up in my brain during these first 2 weeks!) 

> I've noticed that my baby has gotten a ton of eczema spots all over

his legs (I'm sure this is die-off from reading your articles), but

he's also started losing his hair on his head!  Is this normal on the

diet, and will it grow back?

+++You are correct that eczema is die-off symptoms since it is toxins

coming out through the skin, which is one of the best ways for the

body to get rid of toxins. Yes, losing hair is normal, and it will

grow back for sure! 

 

> Oh, one more thing - I'm taking the recommended supplements

(vitamins/minerals) each day, but would I need to increase these

since I'm nursing so that more would pass through to my son?

+++No, you do not need to increase any supplements because you are

breastfeeding.

Take care .
