I described how to choose the right dose of vitamin C during an infection to get rid of it as quickly as possible in my post: https://anna-bee.com/en/blog/beat-viruses-with-vitamin-c/ We use this strategy for every runny nose, every Boston fever, chickenpox, every surgical procedure and tooth extraction.
It is also suggested that adults living in a polluted city should take about 4,000 mg of vitamin C per day as a preventive measure. This dose is the sum of the recommended amount of 30 mg/kg of body weight + an additional amount to help remove toxins and counteract oxidative stress, at which vitamin C excels.
But how do you determine the daily dose for someone who suffers from a chronic disease such as rheumatoid arthritis, arteriosclerosis, bleeding gums, etc.? Did you know that autopsies of people who died of a heart attack identified specific areas of the heart muscle that were suffering from local scurvy? The same deficiencies of vitamin C inside tissues are also discovered in the brains? I didn’t know that either.
So it’s best to take 1 day off, first hydrate yourself properly, and then start saturating your organism with vitamin C according to our tried and tested formula from the post about viruses or use a similar method and take 1-2 grams every 1-2 hours.
When you reach the point of vitamic C saturation in the serum, which is recognized by growling in the stomach or after the onset of diarrhoea, you then add up all the doses that you have taken and that amount should be considered the current maximum dose. In chronic diseases, we take 50-90% of this dose on a permanent basis, i.e. if our stomach started growling after 10 grams, we should take 5-9 grams on a daily basis, if it growled after 20 g, from then on we take 10-18 g, etc.
Remember, of course, that in order to maintain the highest possible concentration of ascorbic acid in the blood, we cannot take the entire dose at once, because the excess washes out too quickly. It is best to divide the planned daily dose into several smaller ones and take it at least with each meal or more often – by doing so we regularly feed the fire, so to speak, and it burns with a fairly even glow allowing the organs in need enough time to warm up 🙂
The maximum dose depends on the current condition of the body and may change depending on the situation or the attacking pathogen. This means, that each person starts with a different level of deficiency in different organs, a different diet, a different exposure to the negative effects of pollution, a different level of stress, everyone also has a slightly different weight, and this alone affects when each person reaches the saturation point.
In addition, due to the similarity of the sugar molecule to the ascorbic acid molecule, eating a lot of carbohydrates can give a premature, false symptom of saturation, so if one day you take 5 g without a problem, and the next day your stomach starts growling after 3g, consider whether you aren’t missing a few small doughnuts from the kitchen😉
Of course, with disorders of the intestinal flora (microbiome), this maximum level will also manifest itself earlier, but rather than a symptom of true saturation, it is a symptom of intestinal hypersensitivity, which should be addressed first.
Dr. Suzanne Humphries says that she takes 2-4000 mg of vitamin C on a daily basis, but when she travels and is exposed to constant stress, fatigue, dry air on the plane, etc., she can easily tolerate doses of 20-30000 mg per day. The maximum required daily dose cannot be predicted in advance, although Dr. Klenner recommended a preventative dose of 1 gram per year of life for children up to 10 years of age, and then 10 grams every day. A range of doses make sense as a guideline 🙂
I highly recommend Dr. Suzanne Humphries’ entire lecture on vitamin C, or at least the description of the procedure she presents, which I summarized above.
She also provides a list of situations that potentially increase the need for vitamin C:
– excessive exposure to the sun or radiation,
– polluted air (smog),
– contact with chemicals,
– alcohol (more than 1 drink a day), drugs, smoking (each cigarette burns 25 mg of vitamin C),
– travel, especially by plane (dry air, lots of germs).
Her list also include constipation and she claims that it is an early sign of vitamin C deficiency (scurvy), She claims that in all cases, increasing the daily dose of vitamin C invariably improves bowel function and helps regulate it much more effectively than prunes or psyllium, which most people hate anyway.
I am tempted to observe that the same applies to determining the individual dose of organic sulfur or MSM. We can follow the guidelines set out in various procedures or resulting from our own experience (for example, I know that in order for my wrists and knees to stop hurting, I have to catch up with 6,000 mg of MSM per day for at least 2 weeks), but we can also determine our own maximum dose and stick to it for several weeks or even months until we achieve remission or complete improvement of the condition of the joints or the cessation of other ailments caused by sulfur deficiency.
As a reminder – 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of Anna Bee C syrup contains 1000 mg of vitamin C.
