To answer your question succinctly and bluntly [in my opinion, assuming her nutrition is adequate], I would give an absolutely unqualified: YES. But she will have to be convinced enough to follow through in doing what she needs to do!
There are a number of participants here that are far more technically qualified [than I] to give you specifics. I will just offer this: I would recommend she immediately start ingesting a Bowel Tolerance dose of ascorbic acid every day [for the rest of her life]. If you are unfamiliar with this concept [and numerous health benefits], I highly recommend you read [at least the first ten paragraphs of] the following article by Dr. Robert Catchart, M.D. http://vitamincfoundation.org/www.ortho ... itrate.htm
If you have any further questions, comments, and/or concerns, SL, you have definitely come to the right place to get them addressed!
I wish you the best of success [with your Aunt].
Sincerely,
David
In other words, SL, when she has ingested a little too much ascorbic acid, she will get a loose stool and/or watery bowel discharge. There is no danger in this, SL, and in fact, in my opinion, at least at first, it is quite healthy, i.e. health inducing/producing. From my view, she would then wait an hour or two, and then begin dosing again. If her experience is anything like mine, SL, her Bowel Tolerance will vary somewhat from day to day, and will particularly rise when she is "fighting" something, i.e. has some health issue/problem.Dr. Cathcart wrote:A method of utilizing vitamin C in amounts just short of the doses which produce diarrhea is described (TITRATING TO BOWEL TOLERANCE).

If most of her diet consists of fruits and vegetables, I doubt she would have any nutritional deficiencies [at least caused by the food (unless she is boiling the vegetables and throwing away the water)]. If her health is less than optimal, she may have nutrient absorption problems, but from my view, if she perseveres with daily Bowel Tolerance doses of ascorbic acid, her overall health will [very gradually] improve to the point of overcoming any and all absorption problems [that she may have].
Acidity Problems: If I were her, SL, I would do the following:
1) I would use only sodium bicarbonate as an antacid [when needed].
2) I would ingest all of my ascorbate as ascorbic acid, and then ingest whatever minimal amount of sodium bicarbonate I needed to take care of any over-acidity problems [that arose]. If need be, she can mix [in water] up to one part of sodium bicarbonate with two parts of ascorbic acid.
Additionally, I have found that drinking very large amounts of just plain water [alone] will also usually work, i.e. to lessen an overly-acidic stomach/esophagus.
As her overall health improves, SL, I suspect she will find that her "acidity problems" will gradually dissipate.
I hope that helps, SL, and encourage you to make sure all of your questions and/or concerns get answered/addressed.
Best regards,
David

You are most welcome.
I believe ALL people should be [for maximum health] ingesting a Bowel Tolerance dose of ascorbic acid every day for their entire lives [similar to what virtually all animals do for themselves (internally)].
Apparently lysine seems to assist in the vascular plaque removal process, and perhaps also proline. My own view is that ascorbic acid is enough [if you can afford to wait], IF you ingest a Bowel Tolerance dose of it daily.
I have never read of arginine [also] removing vascular plaque. Others here? There seems to be no end to what orthomolecular "medicine" can accomplish!
Best wishes,
David

The best example is the first case Linus Pauling provided us on the National Academy of Science winner. This scientist had begun taking 5000 mg of vitamin C (RDA - 70 mg) on Pauling's advice, but still had angina (pectoral) pains and difficulty walking. Only after he asked Pauling and Linus told him to add 5000 mg of lysine - did the man recover in about 30 days to the point of chopping wood.
A lot of people would point to this case as evidence that vitamin C, by itself, had no value for this fellow's heart disease. (We'd point out that it was probably the reason he was still alive.) No matter, the recommendation to add additional supplemental lysine is not based on a whim, but rather on extensive science that discovered what causes atherosclerotic plaques to develop (arteries to narrow), and that is a sticky sub-set of LDL cholesterol called Lp(a). These Lp(a) molecules bind to lesions (cracks) in arteries via the so-called lysine binding sites. Vitamin C, lysine (and proline) together are a patented LP(a) binding inhibitor, and this has been our primary message since around 1994.
As far as the woman with a possible heart condition (might be her gall bladder) there is no harm taking vitamin C, and as David mentioned, adding backing soda or using sodium ascorbate may be better tolerated. However, from your description, I suspect her stomach acid is low, so she has difficulty absorbing nutrients, including vitamin C.
Almost any vitamin C you can purchase in a store (at least in USA) is fine. Pills or powder, but pills contains other materials, which can sometimes cause problems. Bottle should say ascorbic acid (or sodium ascorbate) in supplement facts. Form isn't as important as dosage, and the lowest dosage I have encountered that reversed a 70% carotid blockage has been 2500 mg vitamin C and 2500 mg lysine.
Here is our standard approach for people who are beginning Pauling's protocol (w/pills) http://vitamincfoundation.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=8026
