Hello, my mother is 91. I just had her taken off Lipitor. She is on Meds for her High Blood pressure. And she is borderline diabetic.
She has Hyponatremia. I have her on 300mg of sea salt per day, 1000mg of Vitamin C. I want to reverse her high blood pressure by giving her 6000-10,000 IU vitamin C ascorbate and L-Lysine.
Is this OK?
Not a lot of info. IU? You mean 6000 to 10000 mg of vitamin C? If so good.
Off lipitor. Good. If she cannot tolerate that much vitamin C, consider a liposomal form - such a Lypo-C from livonlabs.com. We think 1 packet of Lypo-C is roughly equivalent to 5000 mg of ordinary oral vitamin C. So at 2 packets per day, she can easily take 10000 mg of vitamin C without any chance of diarrhea.
I would also add something like Cardio-C too. A half-scoop drink (twice per day) would give her another 2500 mg of vitamin C and lysine.
The diabetic issue may be different for a 91 year old, but if you get time, review healingmatters.com - which cites research showing that unnatural trans fats are generally the root cause of Type II diabetes.
