I would like to give you this one cautionary comment [about "vitamin C"] however: Dosage is THE key! As an example, if a doctor prescribed a dose of Antibiotic to a patient, it would come with both an amount and frequency of dosage. Hypothetically, if that patient decided to cut that prescribed Antibiotic dosage in half, and/or ingest it at one-half the prescribed frequency, and then did not get the results expected, could we really/honestly say that they tried the Antibiotic out and it did not work? And so it is with ascorbate. Dr. Cathcart has written that he did NOT see significant results in his patients UNTIL they approached Bowel Tolerance.
