Importance of right Vitamin C

December 2, 2009

Some of you might remember that some time ago, I made an effort to find out what

my " bowel tolerance " limit was for Vitamin C. I wanted to make sure I was

getting all the Vit C that my body needed. I ramped up, and was taking huge

amounts of Vit C pills eventually, like over 12,000 mg a day, and I NEVER did

reach my bowel tolerance limit. I figured that either I just needed to get way

more Vit C than the next person, or this idea was a myth, and that there wasn't

really a bowel tolerance limit for me.

Recently, I read a book called " Practicing Medicine without a License " , which is

the story of Dr. Linus ing's efforts to help those with heart disease find

healing and incredibly, he found that the body responded beautifully to large

doses of ASCORBIC ACID and L-lysine. Ascorbic Acid is simply Vitamin C, and it

was through Dr. ing's book " How to Feel Better and Live Longer " that I

originally learned the value of getting large doses of Vitamin C. This book

gives some support to the testimonials of those who have used the ing

Protocol.

Apparently, though, I overlooked a very important point! The Vitamin C must be

in the proper form!

I have been taking ASCORBIC ACID and L-lysine lately, and I definitely have a

bowel tolerance point! I can reach it as quickly as 4,000 mg.

Previously when I took Vit C, I didn't quite pay attention to the form of

Vitamin C I was taking. I was more concerned with the whole food aspect of it,

getting the rose hips, bioflavinoids, etc, and making sure it was buffered.

This is the reason I did not see the results I had hoped for. But using Ascorbic

Acid, my body is definitely reaching bowel tolerance. It makes me wonder, what

was my body doing with all of that Vitamin C I was ingesting previously?

I bought a 3 lb tub of Ascorbic Acid from Iherb for about $45. Well worth it!

The L-lysine was not much more.

I have not been sick at all this winter, while I'm hearing about people being

sick all around me. If you are concerned about staying healthy this winter,

make sure you are getting plenty of ASCORBIC ACID and L-lysine.

The protocol is primarily intended for those with vascular concerns. I had

mysterious symptoms early in my illness that caused me concern...and I know some

of our women have had heart issues. My stepdaughter had heart issues after

having implants. One of the potential risks listed in the early pamphlets about

breast implants was " collagen vascular disease. " I am of the mind to do

everything I can to practice preventative medicine, and if a little bit of

Vitamin C goes a long way, I am all for it!

Check out the book if you have more interest.

God bless all,

Patty
