Vitamin C and Adrenal Overstimulation

[Guest guest]

Bee ==>You can gradually increase his vitamin C up to bowel tolerance

(when he gets loose stools). Some people who are sick like he is,

can take 40,000 mgs per day without reaching bowel tolerance.

Vitamin C has been used by Orthomolecular Physicians for over 60

years to cure cancer. It is more effective if given intravenously

but if you can't get it done, taking megadoses is the next best

thing. It is easier to take ascorbic acid crystals mixed in good

water than to down so many pills.>>

Hi Bee,

I have POTS/dysautonomia and have been warned that too much vitamin C

can cause hyper stimulation of the adrenals. The citrates have also

been implicated. What do you think about this? I have also read that

vitamin C is important for the adrenals. I'm confused.

Thank you... Sal

==>Sal, the recommendations above are for a man with cancer, so they

are not intended for candida sufferers. I recommend 4,000 mg per day

of vitamin C and that amount helps the adrenals, and the whole body,

without causing the adrenals to become hyper. Candida sufferers do

have low adrenal function.

Medical labels for symptoms/diseases drives me crazy. They make them

sound so important, and unique, when symptoms are nothing more than

signs that something is wrong with the body, and nothing more.

Therefore the signs/symptoms of POTS are almost identical to many

candida symptoms. The medicos are intent on spreading fear!

See " Candida Causes Cell Membrane Defect " and it will give you

another viewpoint of your situation:

******Hi Bee, I knew that regarding the 40,000 mg,:-) I am on a

support list for folks with POTS/DYS.CFS.Fibro and was warned about

vitamin C recently being over stimulating. I was taking 6,000 mg and

I did get stimulated with revved up feeling and palpitations. Not

sure, though, if that was a healing reaction or an reaction to the

6,000mg vitamin C. I was also on 8 grams of salt with the Salt C

protocol used by some " lymies. " (and I don't like labeling that

funnels all thought and all energy into one basket while ignoring th

whole body, mind, and spirit and the potential that exist beyond a

label such as identifying with a disease or condition so much that

one disables their own bodies abilities to heal... and I am not

discounting everything we need to do to help our bodies heal)

*******Funny thing (or not) I remember around 15 years ago when my

sister was bascially dying and did die from a stroke at the age of

early 30s(came back) from dys/POTs/OI and was blown off so many times

by the medical community saying it was all in her head (because there

was not a label at the time for her symptoms) that she almost gave up

her life. It wasnt until she took herself serously and that

ironically included a label (because it allowed her to take herself

seriously when no one else would as do labels like ADHD allow us to

give our kids a break). When she was able to have a name for what she

had and allowed herself to believe that it was not in her head, she

began to have the hope to get better. Eventually, the medical

community caught up with the fact that there are a list of symptoms

what they decided could be called POTS or whatever. Then they took

people like her seriously. Then people like me come along with the

same symptoms, and the doctor no longer says: " Have you seen a

psychiatrist? " So I dont think all labels are bad. I think they are

part of how our system works. I think the system is tied to an

unhealthy paradigm, though. Could it all be candida and or diet,

toxin, et al related? Could my frame of mind come to bear in all of

it? I have a feeling so. And you are right, if I take the symptoms of

messed up adrenals or messed up thyroid, or messed up hormones... I

end up with candida or POTS or ???? They all have the same symptoms!

My sister somehow healed herself or was healed to where she is

functional. She was bedridden and could not take care of her

children. How she did that was with body work she did on herself

because she had no one to help her believe it or not and with energy

work. Somehow her body started healing itself. She is more functional

than I am today, and she believes she has dysautonomia. She says its

all dysautonomia. To her, that means the body is out of balance.

She's had swinging blood pressure that was so wild that the emergency

room doctors would throw their hands up in despair. One time they had

to call her doctor (at the time the only one who " knew " to diagnose

her with dysautonomia and to support her) and he told them: " How many

time do I have to tell you people not to try to bring it down or

bring it back up. Put her on a sedative and let her body take care of

itself. " It worked because everytime they tried to bring it down it

would swing back up very high almost in rebellion and visa versa. She

felt so abused by all the doctors who basically accused her of being

a drug addict or crazy that she fired the medical community and began

to talk to her body. And her focus was: I have dystautonomia; my body

is out of balance. She learned to listen to her body and hear when it

was swinging to far one way and compensate. She learned to talk it

down or up. So in this case, the label saved her. Now, what caused

the dysautonomia or " dysautonomia " I do not know and cannot say for

her. For me, I know something else is causing all this. For her,

she/god/angels/the healing energies of the universe healed her of

many things, and I'm not sure what is left for her to work on. I

think she has lingering issues that she could address with diet. I

wish she would listen to me. But hey... who am I to tell her how to

heal herself? She had a fall while ice skating with her kids. There

was a can that showed injury. She did her own healing thing she does,

gets scanned again and its next to gone when it " shouldnt have

been " . ?????

My thoughts are that we are multidimensional and when I think I have

reality pegged, I don't. Modern medicine seems very one dimensional

to me at this point.
