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. I haven't tried liposomal c on a regular basis but I'll consider it. I have a sickness that I haven't discussed on these boards and I wouldn't have thought would increase my need for c but perhaps it does. I was bedridden for over two years and it's the reason I lost my business of 25 years and have money problems. I began having panic attacks when driving due to a horrible incident in a car. It got progressively worse and eventually I was diagnosed with ptsd and prescribed xanax. At the time I trusted doctors implicitly. Xanax made me feel like a zombie and after a period of about 6 months I quit taking it cold turkey. Big mistake. Withdrawals can last for years. It destroys your GABA receptors and causes non stop anxiety. I literally thought I was dying for over 2 years. I have been off for 3 years and still have some issues left, mainly insane tinnitus and insomnia. I'm about 90% healed. It's what started my health crusade and I will never blindly trust a doctor again. Maybe this increases my need for c.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.

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.
