I have been taking LARGE amounts of intravenous Vitamin C (sodium ascorbate) and HONESTLY have no symptoms of anything...Vit C makes me alive, I have lots of energy and I sleep well I have a better memory than 2 years ago.I can remember phone numbers of people met on the street! Before I had to write them down and still I forgot where..
I have been taking it for 11 months now 300 grams(not miligrams) a week.
No kidney stones/cristals or other oxidative damage. What Tyler King said is NOT TRUE...My Oncologist told me that if I take so much more than allowable amount per day I will DIE.
Is that fair? NO I am still here and well.
Doctor yourself.com is a great site to read about Vit C large amounts and why.
hope it helps.
