I suspect you are correct. I have become a believer. I found out, quite by accident, that large doses of Vit C erased the pain of a shoulder injury. I believe it was a torn rotator cuff but I did not go to a doctor because I knew my only options from a doctor was surgery or drugs.
The injury occured about two years ago and my shoulder is healed. I have done much study about Vit C on the Internet and would love to find someone who uses intravenous Vit C, in case I, or a loved one ever needs it.
In Adele Davis' book, she recommended large doses of Vit C for pregnant women. My daughter did it and when she had her baby, she said a quiver came over her body and the baby slid out.
I won't say that was proof of anything but it certainly is worthy of further investigation and from what I read in the Internet, Vit C has been very beneficial for pregnant women and their babies.
That is interesting about Vitamin C; however my doctor told me to avoid C a week prior to conception. I've been struggling w/ infertility for a couple years and just started taking large doses of Vit E - I've heard it helps.
My dad is struggling w/ arthritis in his leg, any recommendations?
"I am firmly in the camp that thinks mos humans realistically need between 6 and ten grams a day of C, if not more."
Hi Cgg, I'm curious, how many oranges would you have to consume to reach this amount?
Again, thanks.
