I am taking now about 8 grams of Vit C powder mixed with sea salt to combat Lyme disease and severe, severe allergies. At this dose, I have bad gas and not the runs, but lose stools that smell toxic. Should I muddle through? is this a cleansing reaction? or is this nature way to say back off? Please help, Mike

Allergic to everything. Mostly outdoor pollens. Thanks to Lyme wrecking my system.
Taking divided doses of 1 - 2 grams each time.
Taking Ester C and sometimes Sodium Ascorbate.
My advice Mike, would be to take as much of your ascorbate as you can in the acid form, and then the rest [up to "bowel tolerance"] in the [buffered] mineral form, preferably sodium only. You will [probably] find that as your health [gradually] improves, you will be able to take more and more of your ascorbate as ascorbic acid, until you can take it all that way [as I and many others do]. You might also like to take a look at this: http://www.vitamincfoundation.org/esterc.htm"I have not been able to achieve the ascorbate effect with mineral ascorbates orally. Mineral ascorbates are fine forms of vitamin C but when you are really sick, the mitochondria are failing in their refueling of the free radical scavengers with electrons. The ascorbic acid carries 2 extra electrons per molecule where the mineral ascorbates seem to carry only one (plus per molecule the mineral ascorbates are heavier due to the mineral weighing more than the hydrogen the mineral replaces). So the mineral ascorbates are not potent enough to accomplish the ascorbate effect. There may be other reasons that we do not appreciate additionally." -- Dr. Robert Cathcart, III, M.D.

Can I expect the acid reaction and sinus dripping to stop soon?
Thanks.
