Vitamin C

[Guest guest]

,

A couple of weeks of Vitamin C most likely is not going to do anything.

Most who take it reported changes much later on. Plus in the original

research, it took 30 GENERATIONS of mice to see a change in CMT - and

that was to STOP IT entirely. Something else to consider, all the

Vitamin C research has been on animal models of CMT 1A only. It is

still unknown what effect, if any, Vitamin C would have on other CMT

types.

What kind of C are you taking? How much/how often? You might want to

read through the information and papers in our Files on C. And again,

please understand C is not a " cure " for CMT - YET. Much more research

needs to be done on the human population with CMT. What group members

report are there own observations based on the amount, length of time

and type of C they are taking. Just like our own CMT, it seems to be so

individualized. One idea is to take Vitamin E with it - that will increase the

absorption of C.
