Vitamin C Is Your Best Health Insurance! It's true. Vitamin C is an essential nutrient needed for dozens of cellular systems – tissue reconstruction and regeneration, cholesterol recycling, and white blood cell creation to name just a few. Most animals produce their own, but humans must get it in food or nutritional supplements in large quantities – much larger than the federal RDA – to remain healthy. Vitamin C is probably the safest nutritional supplement. In fact there is no toxic dose. It is proven safe in huge quantities. Intravenously it has been in quantities exceeding 200 grams per day with no side effects. Dr. Ian Brighthope of Australia and Dr. Robert Cathcart in California use 100+ gram vitamin C infusions for their AIDS patients, with no adverse effects. Its only “side effect” is mild diarrhea if you take too much orally. Dr. Hugh Riordan has been treating cancer patients with high-dosage vitamin C intravenous infusions for more than 10 years. Some AIDS patients have taken enormous quantities orally – upwards of 100 grams per day – for extended periods of time, again with no side effects. Almost all animals on earth produce their own vitamin C, at concentrations between 30 and 300 times as much as the FDA says we need. Humans, monkeys, guinea pigs, and a few other animals have a genetic defect that prevents them from turning blood sugar into ascorbate – vitamin C. When most animals are under stress – when they are scared or ill or exposed to toxins – their internal vitamin C factories go into overdrive and provide this nutrient in very large quantities. What about the vitamin C scares? There have been no documented cases of anyone who has ever had adverse side effects from taking very large doses of vitamin C, other than the diarrhea mentioned above, which is simply the indicator that you have exceeded the dose that your body is using. But for many years, the pharmaceutical industry has gone to great lengths to scare people away from vitamin C. These companies have huge investments in expensive prescription drugs that attempt to treat the symptoms of diseases that would be addressed, cured, or prevented easily and cheaply with the same dosage of vitamin C as is found in the blood of most animals. How much should I take? The ideal amount to take is 8,000-12,000 mg per day, but you can't take that much from the start or you'll end up in the bathroom all day. Start at 1000 mg with your morning and evening meals. Then, over several weeks, increase the dosage to 2000 mg per dose, then 3000 mg per dose, and then, if you don't get diarrhea, 4000 mg per dose. If you get diarrhea at any level, then cut back to the levels that your bowels will tolerate. When you are ill You will find that these high doses of vitamin C will increase your immunity, so that you will not get ill very often. When you do, however, you will find that your bowel tolerance of vitamin C will increase dramatically, as your need for it increases during illness. I personally remember taking 40,000 mg of vitamin C without getting diarrhea when the Norwalk influenza came through the Boston area in the 1990s. What form should I take? There are 3 readily available forms of vitamin C: Ascorbic Acid (which is pure vitamin C and nothing else), Calcium Ascorbate (sometimes called Buffered C, which is vitamin C combined with calcium), and Ester-C (which is a combination of calcium, magnesium, and other mineral ascorbates). Calcium Ascorbate and Ester-C are very gentle on your stomach, and can even be taken between meals with orange or other juice. Plain vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) is quite acid
