This is my take on Vit C.....you have to be taking it everyday for a while
before you get sick..and then up it to those huge amounts when you get sick.
Otherwise, it won't work to just up the amounts when you are sick.

not true in my experience. but i would agree that people need to be taking
a lot more vit c daily than they do.

No, not so!
My most dramatic vitamin C experience was when I got apparent mumps at age 19. After a night of absolutely ghastly pain and grotesque swelling, when my mom arrived to pick me up (end of school year and no possibility of riding the train as I'd planned!), she started me on 2,000 mg initial dose, followed by 1,000 hourly for the four-hour ride home. Pain was less within half an hour, and the whole thing was 90% gone by the time we arrived! I wish *all* of my vitamin C experiences were that dramtic! (They're not; but the difference is often very noticeable, and does not need prior use.)

poor results with the protocol you report led me to go dramatic
with illness at the onset. my daughter didn't call me till she was
in great pain and discomfort for 2 weeks. she required 40g/daily
for a couple of days but the result was dramatically quick.

Was she able to tolerate 40 g daily without diarrhea?

yes, that is the point.
vit c can be given intravenously well over 100 g/daily in severe
cases such as cancer.

Great, I'll keep that in mind!
So I guess one just tries e.g. 2,000 for first dose (unless you know the person tolerates more, or assume they need more?), and if no improvement but also no diarrhea, the next hour give more??

i use an inexpensive vit c tab which i get in 1000 mg/tab
w/rose hips and bioflavanoids. it just lists the vit c as ascorbic acid.
the current brand i use is NOW which has a good reputation
for purity and consistency. and it seems to work well.

yes, that would be a good way to begin. for me, though, if i knew
my bowel tolerance level was 2000 and i got sick, i would automatically
begin with 3-5000 mg depending on the level of illness.
fyi, i take 3-4000 mg daily as a maintenance dose and have no bowel
reaction. my general understanding is that we need way more than the
measly 30c minimum daily requirement of the fda. i read these fda
limits as the recommended dosage to maintain a constant state of
inflammation in the body, a guarantee that most people will resort to
allopathic drugs. a pimp is a pimp is a pimp is a......
