G6PD and ascorbate

[Guest guest]

The test you are referring to is G6PD

(glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase). I think we

have seen the deficiency most often in Black

males. Infusing high-dose ascorbate slowly makes

sense to me but I know of others who try to run

it as fast as possible. I don't opine on these

things, I just see how it plays out clinically -- and I am often surprised.
