Left Arm tingling - from Sodium Ascorbate?

[Guest guest]

I tried Sodium Ascorbate for the first time today, just after a lunch

of mashed boiled potatoes, with yogurt and grated cheese mashed in

(wanted bland and easy to eat food after going thru a rather traumatic

amalgam removal appointment of some days ago. (reacted to provisional

crown material, gave me a burning mouth).

I dissolved a quarter teaspoon of the sodium ascorbate powder(

equivalent to approx 2.5 gms) in a 1/4 glass of water and drank it.

About half an hour later my left arm started to tingle. I panicked and

drank a large glass of water to flush out whatever could be the

problem. I did visit the loo - was just d. The tingling continued for

a while after that. Is it the sodium ascorbate? Now about an hour

later the tingling has subsided. (I actually went on the internet to

look up heart symptoms and kept the phone by my side).

Just BTW, is it normal to feel panicky every now and then, every day

after removals? What I don't understand is, some months ago I had 2

amalgams drilled out w/out any protection except for a rubber dam. So

it was not done correctly. But I did not go thru these symptoms. I was

just mad at the doctor. Is it just that my body has taken on too much

by now?

My recent appointment was not just amalgam removals, but trying on

provisional crowns for at least half an hour - very exhausting and

painful, ending up with a nasty reaction.

You may find that this quantity is too much to start. Most vitamin C

pills are 500mg - 1 g. When I first started I could only tolerate 1 g

per day.

Don't be afraid of vitamin C. Use smaller doses spread out across the

day - one dose at each meal time and one at bed time.

And don't forget that fruits and vegetables contain antioxidants.

It may be that you already reached bowel tolerance. Try 250 - 500 mg

doses 3 or 4 times per day.

In the last 16 years I have had so much tingling that I don't even

notice it anymore.

Now about an hour

It is not unusual to feel panic stricken after a reaction like you

just had. The procedure was a large stress for you and the reaction

adds extra stress. Read the adrenal pages of Andy's " Amalgam Illness "

(p 118 - 122) book. Try all the stress busting techniques that you

can think of - listening to music, walking, reading, sleeping,

whatever you can do to calm yourself.

Blood sugar lows are hard on the adrenals. Eat small frequent meals

and snacks with protein at every meal/snack. Remove processed sugar

from your diet, and things that quickly break down to sugar, like

potatoes.
