Guest guest Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 Pam . . . YEA!!!!! So glad to hear about your toe . . . and I totally understand your hesitance to say it out loud. Yes, I still feel like I'm improving. I'm keeping journal notes on my daily feelings. Today I feel like there is a noted improvement in my right leg which is the weaker of the two. So glad to hear your doing well too. My Mom started taking it after the appointment with the herbalist confirmed that she needed the same type of C that I take. She noted today (day 2) that her hands feel a little stronger. YEE HAW!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 My Mom and I were tested by an herbalist. The fat soluble version tested better for us. I take 10 capsules a day at 400mg and my Mom is supposed to take 14 of the same one. This particular type of C is supposed to store in your fat cells as opposed to the other kind. Good luck!!!

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 , Something caught my eye on that website. It noted " Ascorbic Acid (Capsules, Tablets, Crystalline Powder - pH 2.1) - This was Dr.ing's preferred form of vitamin C. Its low (acidic) pH can actually be a boon to the digestion of middle agers and those beyond, whose production of digestive acid commonly wanes. Taken with meals (as it should be), ascorbic acid can actually improve the uptake and utilization of other crucial vitamins and minerals, like iron. The fine crystalline, easy-to-mix, highest solubility Type 'S' powder is ultra-pure, appropriate for supplemental as well as food preserving applications. Vitamin C in its simplest and most economical form. " OK from reading the entire research paper of Dr. Fontes, this is the exact kind the mice were given - mixed with water. Now, remember the mice were fed this until their natural death. So obviously the mice were aging and so were their digestive tracts. And yet, a 70% improvement in mice who had been given the Vit. C was noted. Good news! ~ G MommyToAdam@... wrote: >http://www.nutribiotic.com/vitaminc.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 How much C is everyone taking? Thank you! Rhonda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 Rhonda, From what I have found out, we all respond better to different amounts. I checked to see if taking more than what I was told to take would help faster and the answer was no. I'm taking 4000mg a day of the ascorbyl palmitate, which is supposed to stay in your system until it's used up. This seems to be working wonders for my mother and me. We are also in contact with a lab that makes it and they are going to try to get a higher level capsule available to us soon. I'll keep you posted. Good luck!

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 Hi! The V-C I have is only 1000 mg- I don't want to take 10 of them a day. Can anyone recommend a brand that has a higher dosage level? Thanks as always, Rhonda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 18, 2004 Report Share Posted April 18, 2004 I got the best gift I have ever had. My sister is sending me 3 months supply of Vitamin C. For my family that is $200.00. I just don't know how to thank her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2004 Report Share Posted April 18, 2004 I am also using the little plastic pill keeper. I fill 4 of them up a night. It is so worth it to be able to keep track of everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 18, 2004 Report Share Posted April 18, 2004 Pam, that is EXACTLY how I felt! I just knew it was in my head. Today is my 3 week mark. I am still improving.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 Thanks Spy. I can completely relate to the Easter candle story!! How funny. I can only wear the Sketchers for a short time while my legs adjust . . . it's different to walk in flats for me so my muscles have to readjust. We will be at the MDA Spring Gala Saturday night and if there is dancing you can bet I will be safe in the man's arms enjoying the festivities. : ) I am the " celebrity auctioneer " for part of the event. As my significant other is a musician, he and I will be the " celebrity couple " working the auction part of the night. It will be interesting to see if he will be able to give the puppy to whomever wins that one!! Hee hee I LOVE Whole Foods!!!! I shop there every couple of days!! My Mom has been taking the Ascorbyl Palmitate for one week . . . her permanently curled toes have straightened!!!!!! OK, so only one foot, but the other one is worse so it needs more time. They have been curled for years and years .. . . this is HUGE!!! Her toes are looking " normal. " Peace, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 Ed, That is SO great!!! I can't wait to get updates on your progress!! I take a fat soluble version of Vitamin C so that it stays in my system until it is used up. It is working really well and the monitoring is showing that I'm still needing the megadoses. I pray this works for you and all other types too!!! Thanks for the news . . . keep us posted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 Christin, thank you for answering my inquiry. I will definately look into Vitamin C. Anything that may help is a blessing. Thanks again, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 Dave, I take the highest RDA dose 10,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 I want to let you all know that my herbalist and I are working with Olympian Labs to make a more economical way to get the fat soluble Vitamin C so that we can take less and gain more benefit. AND, before anyone wonders, neither of us will profit from this financially. He is always trying to help people regardless of money and I'm just hopeful for all us . . . it's working for Mom and me so far!! I take 4000mg a day and she takes 5600mg. YEA FOR ALL OF US!!!!

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2004 Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 Spy, are you taking 3 thousand miligrams at morning, at noon and 4 thousand at night? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Spy, It took the mice 4 weeks to have any noticeable difference. The way I look at it anything positive that happens the first 4 weeks is a bonus. Keep us updated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 , Just to let you know . . . if you take the fat soluble version as I do, you must take it with a little fat in your system. A handful of nuts is enough fat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
