Guest guest Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 I spoke to someone once who had been very ill from taking high doses of ascorbic acid. He became allergic to it. Keen Ascorbic Acid Has anyone had much success with high doses of ascorbic acid? I've been reading some mixed reviews on it and wondered if anyone has had personal experience with it?

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 I would not recommend vitamin c ivs. they make my veins hurt and detox me too much. I don't think taking a gram daily or less of vitamin c would hurt you. you could try the Twinlabs bufferred C made from calcium. shefy gupta <shefy7@...> wrote: i'd like more info. on that too....i read that most types of vitamin c can actually take out vitamin c from your body... shefy dc_wired <dc_wired@...> wrote: Has anyone had much success with high doses of ascorbic acid?

Either way should we > be concerned about taking glucose derived ascorbic acid? ==>, I'm glad you are still hanging in there. Do not be concerned that ascorbic acid contains sugar; it is chemically changed when it is made. It is what Orthomolecular Physicians administer intravenously to cure cancer, and cancer also feeds off of sugars. If you are still concerned take the vitamin C tablets instead.

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 > > Hi Bee How can I use powder ascorbic acid? Hi Lola. Mix the powder in water or my Electrolyte Drink to take it. Be careful since some powders contain 4,000 mgs of vitamin C per heaping teaspoon and you should start with small amounts and gradually increase it, otherwise you will get loose stools.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Hi All, I saw this on another site and thought it might be helpful to post here. It's not recommended that we take Vitamin A or E with our Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid). Here's the study info.... http://www.ncbi. nlm.nih.gov/ pubmed/18663735? ordinalpos= 2 & itool=EntrezSy stem2.PEntrez. Pubmed.Pubmed_ ResultsPanel. Pubmed_RVDocSum > Muscle Nerve. 2008 Jul 28;38(2):1052- 1054 > > Analysis of the benefits of vitamin cocktails in treating Charcot-Marie- Tooth disease type 1A. > Kaya F, Belin S, Micallef J, Blin O, Fontés M. > INSERM UMR491, TMG, IPHM-IFR125, Faculté de Médecine, 27 bd Jean Moulin, 13385 Marseille Cedex 5, France. > > We recently proposed that the use of high doses of ascorbic acid (AA) could constitute the first potential treatment for Charcot-Marie- Tooth disease type 1A (CMT1A).4 We investigated the potential benefits of using cocktails of vitamins for CMT1A therapy. We used transient transfection of Schwann cells with a construction placing the expression of a reporter gene under the control of the Schwann cell-specific promoter of PMP22. Transfected cells were cultured with or without addition of ascorbic acid, vitamin A, vitamin E, or a cocktail of these vitamins. Adding vitamin A or E counteracts the effect of ascorbic acid in inhibiting PMP22 expression. We thus recommend that vitamins A and E should not be included in combination with AA in clinical trials.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Hi , I posted that abstract July 30. Look in the Archives for # 48725. Reading that carefully, the conclusion was made only after research on lab cells, not on animal or human models yet. There is still much research to do on this issue.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Sorry I missed that, Gretchen. Haven't been able to keep up with all my emails for awhile. On this topic, I agree that the recommendation was for those conducting the research studies, rather than a recommendation for patients. However, there are many of us who are taking ascorbic acid, just in case it helps. In reading this, it made me wonder if it was ok to take the other vitamins, but just not to take them at the same time. For example, what if the ascorbic acid was taken in the morning and the other vitamins are taken at night, would that be sufficient time to allow the ascorbic acid to work or is it better to just not take the other vitamin supplements at all? I realize none of this has conclusively been established yet....I'm just wondering if anyone has personal experience on it. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
