question about vit C saturation

[Guest guest]

I've been reading about vitamin C saturation, and would like to try this for

my son. Gradually, I am trying to experiment with the treatments everyone

mentions. I've looked at a website that describes how much to take, and the type

of C, but I'm not sure what effect it would have on my son if it were working.

In what ways would it help? (he already takes Recup, and a lot of other

supplements and meds). He has CFIDS, but not Lyme.

Thanks for your help!

Warmly, Toni

Hi

I would start off by looking at different ways to boost glutathione.ie whey

protein etc.

Hi Toni,

Wow...you have just reminded me that this was the very first

treatment I tried for my CFS! (Way back in 1990 that was!)

I took Niacin as well. I can't remember exactly the amount of Vitamin

C, just that it was to 'bowel tolerance' level.

The idea was, for me, that I was supposed to feel better - less

fatigued at the end of 30 days. I'm afraid to say it didn't work for

me. I'd been unwell for 5 1/2 years by that stage.

I also had Vitamin C by IV (45 grams over 45 minutes) many times

along with hyperbaric oxygen treatment several years ago. The

combination of the two was extremely effective for the chemical

poisoning I had at the time but I had no long term improvement from

it.

The Vitamin C saturation will do no harm I think, but I agree with CS

that Glutathione building is probably a good way forward.

Your son is very fortunate to have you researching on his behalf.

Best to you, and him.

vitmain c saturation can work well for cfs & fms. Have you ever done it ?

I'm near to full health after doing this with recuperat-ion ( blasi

protocol)

Vitmain c saturation is not harmful but i would not do this by IV

though i would only do this by mouth using pure asorbic acid ( there

are different types of vit c like calcium asorbate vit c ) . Vitamin c

(pure asorbic acid ) raises glutathione it does this by helping the

body manufacture it.

look at vitmain c foundation website ( why not post what happen to

you on their forum you don't have to join you can just post as a guest

and stay anon ). :-

ps what type of iv vit c did you use at the time ?

Hi--Thanks for the suggestion--he's already been taking ImmunePro whey for

over a year, and now takes Essential GSH (plus lots of other stuff for different

reasons). I'm hoping that the C saturation would add to all this, but am not

sure what its effect might be.

Warmly, Toni

How much do you take daily and in what form?

Kath,

Is there a brand of the ascorbic acid you used? Where did you purchase

it and how much did you take daily?

Thanks,

Ballady

Before taking large doses of Vit c - this may have negative impact on

Glutathione levels - mention this to Rich and he may give you a technical

breakdown.

I take now 15grams + per day of Linus Vitamin C Powder in juice or

any pure asorbic acid .

Titrate up to bowel tolerance.

I bought my vit c over the internet I found that to be a cheaper way

of doing it for me . I use linus vitmain c powder or any pure form of

asorbic acid. Start off slow and work up.. I take 15grams + daily at

the moment every one is different how much they need.

Many people with cfs ( me ) just cannot tolerate whey protien whether

it undenatured cows whey or goat whey or whatever (me for one),

vitmain c saturation works well raising glutahione levels. Vitamin C

is also very important for maintaining glutathione levels.Vitamin c

(asorbic acid) c is easy and cheap unlike some other wierd and

wonderful other " alternatives " .

You don't just start taking high dose of vitmain c you titrate up the

dose .

Hi kath,

When I tried Vit C orally it was ascorbic acid (I can still taste it

if I think about it!), but I'm not sure of the type used for IV.

The IV Vitamin C was part of a different protocol, along with

hyperbaric chamber treatments, for acute chemical exposure problems,

and I found that particular treatment very effective in the short

term.

I have no doubts about the benefit of Vit C. I had forgotten about

the saturation treatment (which I probably didn't do long enough to

have any benefit from anyway), and I'm interested to have a look at

the website you mentioned. Thank you for the pointer...

Anne.

Ballady,

I took it for a while and the idea was to take it to 'bowel tolerance

level'. So, to take as much as you can without inducing diarrea! )

This way you know you've reached saturation.

I expect there are better explanations of the protocol at the Vit C

website kath mentioned.

Hope that helps,

Anne.
