Lymes? Rhabdo? Vasculitis? 9 Doctors still no diagnosis

[SaveMyMom]

This is in the order of which this happened.  Rhabdomyalisis, cardiac arrest, vasculitis, coma...Can all of these things take place from a tick bite??  Because right now we are in a crisis, with all 9 doctors scratching their heads.  My Mom is a 52 year old healthy woman who has never gotten sick.  She got a tick bite about 4 weeks ago and started getting flu like symtoms.  Now she is in the hospital fighting for her life and the doctors do not know why.  She went into cardiac arrest on her 3rd night at the hospital, they have no explanation why her heart stopped.  They revived her, but she was coded for 20 minutes.  Now she is on life support, with kidney and liver failure.  My Mom is a fighter and we will not give up, we just need anyones help right now.  Please look at the webpage that I made for her explaining waht happened to her and her progress every day.  I created it on the 8th and already over 600 people have looked at her profile.  I have pictures of her, my brother, sister, and her grandkids.  My Mom is a very LOVED woman, you can tell from what people have wrote in her guestbook.  PLEASE PLEASE HELP US!!

Using Vitamin C products beyond recommended the limits may cause stomachaches and diarrhea. Even though the body would only use as much as it needs of the vitamin, Vitamin C Overdose can hinder metabolic activities in the body.
from: http://ezinearticles.com/?Vitamin-C-Overdose&id=144404
Recent studies have suggested that there are a number of health related problems that can occur as the result of too much Vitamin C consumption, contrary to popular belief. This is especially true for people who take more than 6000mg a day, or those who take additional supplements along with high doses of Vitamin C. Major Symptoms of a dangerous Vitamin C Overdose include:

Kidney stones
Vitamin B-12 deficiencies
Copper deficiencies
Increased need for oxygen

To summarize, not only does it "hinder" metabolic processes, it also targets the kidneys and liver. Good job.

..LOL . halt metabolic processes? I think you should do some reading before you post anything.

Twenty minutes without oxygen is a long time to go. As a general rule, brain cells begin to die after 3 minutes. The point of no return is around ten.

I'm sorry, but if you follow that man's advice someone will die. It will halt metabolic processes and I'm fairly sure he wants a mercy kill.
Of course, she's so far gone at this point, she'll probably die anyway.
There's really no way to help her, at this point, but if there was a tick, it's a blood disease, but there's nothing to do.

Intravenous Vitamin C +100 grams a day .
