Vitamin C

[Guest guest]

There is a company called Pure Synergy that makes very pure, food-based

supplements, including Vitamin C. Their product might be gentle on the

stomach. They're at synergy-co.com. Their green drink is excellent!

I have seen glutamine mentioned here a few times and after reading Diet

Cure, i really feel it would be a good supplement for me. But can someone

tell me if it's safe during pregnancy? The book doesn't say.

I find it interesting that many of you with digestive

woes have had success with Vitamin C. Everytime I

attempt to use it (to help aid slow healing, etc.) in

supplement form, I get a horrid buring sensation in my

stomach. I've tried both *regular* and Ester-C forms.

While honeymooning in Maine a few weeks ago, my

allergies flared (the East coast is killing me!) and

the innkeeper we were staying with gave me a

compounded herbal formula containing Vit C. Worked

like a charm on my stuffy/runny/sneezy nose, but my

gut was a mess. Same thing happens when I try to take

L-glutamine supps that contain a tiny amount of Vit.

C.

Any thoughts on why this is so?

Thanks,

a

Use a vitamin c that is derived from food a la Standard Process.

a) you won't have this problem at all

you'll actually absorb most of it

c) it won't cause imbalances due to consumption of fractionated

synthetic ascorbic acid (which as an aside is frequently referred to

as vitamin c but is not, it is simply a part of vit c) much like a

tire is part of a car.

Hi a,

It is not that my " digestive woes " are helped with Vit C, but soaking to

kill mold helps me not be reactive to the foods that contain this mold.

I used to have problems with Vit C like you describe (not as bad), but I was

also very systemically acidic. I used to be so acidic that wearing silver

for just a few minutes would turn my skin black. Since I have gotten my

system in the alkaline range I do not have Vit C problems anymore.

You might also want to look at citric acid as a whole. I used to be very

reactive to any type of citric fruit, especially oranges. Substituting

acerola might be an option. See NT.

Another area to look at is leaky gut. If you have these types of reactions

it could be due to lesions in the gut called leaky gut. The main factors in

leaky gut seem to be diet and candida.

The l-glutamine is one of the most important supplements for leaky gut. I

get it in the pure powdered form (no additives), and the taste is really

quite pleasant.

I try to take as many vitamins in the powdered form as possible. For a salt

I use Celtic Sea Salt, powdered Magnesium, Powder Potassium, powdered

garlic, and sometimes add other spices. It is a healthy and great tasting

spice.

I have a full chapter called " Are Toxic Allergies Killing You? " with a

section on leaky gut syndrome at http://www.katking.com/Wisdom/Allergy.html

.. It is all free information.

These are just a few thoughts, hope they help.

Yes, my thoughts exactly. Standard Process puts out an exemplary product.

I have used a product called " C Salts " , no salt at all, but a form of C that

fizzes when you add water. It has never caused distress to my quite

sensitive stomach.

I've heard several people mention they use Ascorbic Acid to sterilize foods

of moulds & bacteria. It does this eccedingly well i imagine. So, what do

you think its going to do to the GOOD bacteria inside your body?

Those of you who ferment, try adding some Ascorbic Acid to your ferments and

see what happens!

Conmsider this: when you've got a cold and you take vitamin C, does the cold

(mucus elimination) increase or decrease? Now, do the same thing with an

orange and what happens? Most people will say that the Ascorbic Acids

STOPPED the healing process of mucus elimation, whereas the Orange INCREASED

it! think about it. Chris

From the research I've done and my experience, I believe the Vitamin C vs.

Kidney stones/problems stories are " old wives tales " and myth. I've taken

8,000 mg of vitamin C for quite some time and no stone problems. In fact, I

had one stone attack several years ago prior to using such a large dosage of

vitamin C. Cancer Centers of America recommends using large dose Vitamin C

to people with Leukemia, like me.
