Question regarding vitamin C

[MacWanted]

I hear many times that high dose of vitamin C can be pro-oxidant. Is this true and validated by medical studies?

Depends on person biochemistry I usually have people between 2-3000 mgs a day because vitamin C can cause buffer cortisol and in some people with low adrenals this can be counter productive so error on the side of caution and take the middle of the road.

Yep, my Dr just told me to cut back on the VC to 1000mg because high doses are bad for adrenal fatigue... contrary to Dr Wilson's book.

Yes i actually got to talk to your DR on the phone. He said the same thing. Lets just say alot of dr's do not impress me, but he left me speechless. His board is now open too..

Well that could explain a lot. A couple months again I started taking about 4000mgs a day of vit c for a couple weeks and I started losing muscle like I was doing cocaine or something. Possible it raised cortisol way to high or something but I was like WTF?? No more than 1000mgs a day tops for me now.

Yes just from 20 minutes with him I learned so much about biochemistry of the body. I can not wait for his book to come out.

I have had a I.V. Vitamin c 50 grams on three seperate occasions when I felt a cold or the rest of my family (wife,tw kids) has all gotten sick. Each time the next day most all symptoms were gone and I never caught anything, which is unusual for myself. I have read this is used alot with cancer patients to boost immune funtion. I have had only positive experience with this.....

Hello Matrix, is that the doc's message board you're referring to? Can you post the link? Also, can you pm me the doc's name and his book title? If he impressed you, I want to learn more!

Thanks,

Phil

Yes under the biological condition that there is a potential for hemocromatosis in that patient.
