Re: Re: lod and vit C

[Guest guest]

There is a study in T. Murray's book that C up to 10 grams did NOT

increase oxalate production. B6, magnesium (these two specifically) and

Vitamin K are reported to reduce oxalates. Reducing oxalates in foods actually

increases oxalate production as the replacement foods increase the need for B6

and magnesium which then increases the oxalate production.

Thanks for telling your experience. I flirted with LOD last fall,

getting the supps in place and starting to reduce high oxalate foods.

I can't be certain but I did think dropping vit C caused trouble, and

I bailed on the diet. Recently I shifted n's antiviral protocol

from kitchen-cabinet approach (lysine, echinacea, transfer factor,

sambucol, mushroom extract, LDN) to only LDN and high-dose vit C. I

haven't gotten as high as Dana -- we're up to 25 g/day so far, with no

diarrhea yet -- but it's working really well.

Did you use an alternative antioxidant, or figure whatever else you

were giving covered it?

I haven't crossed LOD off the list forever, but I admit I'm hoping I

won't have to revisit it....
