VITAMIN C - for INFLAMMATION

[Guest guest]

When I have active infection/inflammation, I have noticed I feel much

better after taking large amounts of vitamin C during the day. My

doctor actually recommended this. She calls it the " Vitamin C " flush.

If you have chronic infections, you take 500 - 1,000mg at one time

with juice or water, throughout the day, until the point of diarreah,

then you take one teaspoon less than that as a maintenance for a week

or so, until you feel better.

There are over 1,400,000 web sites on a google search with the

words " Vitamin C inflammation " . This is worth looking into. Read

Vitamin C can reduce levels of C-reactive protein, a marker of

inflammation and chronic disease

By: News-Medical

Vitamin C supplements can reduce levels of C-reactive protein, a

marker of inflammation and chronic disease risk in humans, according

to a new study led by researchers at the University of California,

Berkeley.

Participants who took about 500 milligrams of vitamin C supplements

per day saw a 24 percent drop in plasma C-reactive protein (CRP)

levels after two months. The study, published in the April issue of

the Journal of the American College of Nutrition, is the first time

vitamin C has been shown to decrease levels of CRP, a biomarker that

has garnered increasing attention among health researchers in recent

years.

" C-reactive protein is a marker of inflammation, and there is a

growing body of evidence that chronic inflammation is linked to an

increased risk of heart disease, diabetes and even Alzheimer's

disease, " said Gladys Block, UC Berkeley professor of epidemiology

and public health nutrition and lead author of the study. " If our

finding of vitamin C's ability to lower CRP is confirmed through

other trials, vitamin C could become an important public health

intervention. "

Inflammation occurs as part of the body's defense against infection

or injury. The body triggers the production of inflammatory

cytokines, such as interleukin-6, that then set off the production of

CRP by the liver.

There was an article in PubMed about doing tests on people with high

lead and after an IV of Vit C, lead levels were reduced, and many

other things validating Vit C as a detoxifier, and of course, anti

inflamatory. Some people say they have had anti histamine like

affects from taking it. Then I read where people think you can get

kidney stones form Vit C but I bet it is from the lime in hard water.
