Lysine taker experiences discomfort on Cardio-C

Just so I understand, the suggestion of possible kidney issues is from the 15,000mg daily of l-lysine, and the Pauling recommendation of 5,000mg or so of l-lysine should pose no problems to people without pre-existing kidney disease?

oh YES Owen, I would be interested!
I have read the Forum response from Johnwen. Off to the health food store for some Vit -C & L-Arginine. The Multi-Vitamin I have HAVE CALCIUM in them as well as Lysine. I don't want to take them. I'll get a separate L-Arginine and single-item Vit C 1,000mg (without anything else added)

I DO have the Blood test I took on June 24(at the end of the 10 day period of taking the Cardio-C).
I HAVE scanned them and attach them to this email.

Also, as an update. the Doc DID want me to get a consult with a GI doc for an Upper & Lower endoscopy when she saw the June 24 blood test results(this was on June 27 that she informed me). I have a GI Consult tomorrow(JULY 11 at 10:45am EST). I'm informed that if necessary, the GI doc could get the upper AND lower endoscopy procedure done within a few days of tomorrows appointment.

I am STILL having the bloating feeling in my gut and back as of today(July 10th). I am NOT taking any supplements as of today...I STOPPED Everything.

Per Johnwen, I have been drinking more water. My urine is white..will continue the water. Would adding fresh lemon juice help flush the kidneys at this point???

I did TRY the Cardio C again on July 6(4 days ago)..only taking 1 scoop 3 times on that Saturday. By the next morning(5 hrs later actually) on Sunday July 7th early morning(2:am)..the bloating/stiffness and back pain was back and VERY painful that I could not get back to sleep. Needless to say, I am reluctant to take the 1 dose Cardio C twice a day as Johnwen recommends IF my kidneys might be in danger.

I do not have ANY jars of Vit C (alone). I can get some from the VitaminShoppe, but I'd rather have powder form instead of the capsules. Was afraid of the caps sitting in my gut when it's already swollen.

I have some Kale and Spinach here at home and I have placed some in the Vitamix and drank it this afternoon. Stomach/back is painful when I got up today. I work nights, so I have to go in tonight 6pm.



Thanks

Linus Pauling warned not to stop vitamin C - even for a single day.
