I take 15 to 20 grams a day, 5 grams (a heaping teaspoon) 3 or 4 times a day. I eat a lot of our free range duck and chicken eggs, and duck eggs have double the cholesterol of chicken eggs, but I've read dietary cholesterol doesn't affect serum levels. But my hdl number is excellent isn't it?ofonorow wrote:The quick rule of thumb is that you are about 50 points higher than if you were on "optimal" vitamin C, e.g. total 180 mg/dl. Meaning it looks like you need even more vitamin C. So how much vitamin C are you taking?
I've read most of David's posts. I do have several mercury filings I've had since childhood. Financially I am unable to have them removed but it's on my list if I hit the lottery.ofonorow wrote:Two clues. Elevated total cholesterol and you haven't reached bowel tolerance.
From experience reported here, your bowel tolerance will drop to more normal after what ever is creating the "demand" for vitamin C in your body is corrected. Right now your body is metabolizing all the vitamin C that you are providing it. Have you considered adding liposomal vitamin C to see whether that can help with whatever issue you are dealing with? Or more plain vitamin C.
We haven't heard from David in several years, but he had a) a mouthful of amalgam mercury fillings, and b) consumed over 100 grams of vitamin C daily.
I've been told that it affects 10-15% of those who use it like it did me. Cold turkey quitting is a no no for everyone so be careful. Any drug can be dangerous and Xanax stole the last 3 years of life away but I'm glad it helped you. Millions use Tylenol everyday but it kills hundreds yearly. Just the roll of the dice I guess. Mine came up snake eyes.francisunderwood wrote:I love Hoffer's 3 minute video on YouTube showing all the vitamins he takes. I'm guessing he was late 80s or early 90s when it was recorded.
Confused, you made me think just now that I have been on Xanax for about 18 years now and I credit it with saving my life then and it helps me get through some days even now. I take .5 mg of the extended release twice per day so that is probably considered a very low dose.
