Hi Nine,
You are always most welcome.
Two points I think are worth keeping in mind about my [relatively large ascorbic acid intake]
: 1) I was already relatively healthy [a
relatively clean/unencumbered GI tract from lots of exercise and raw food] when I started Bowel Tolerance dosing 20 years ago; and 2) Initially, my daily Bowel Tolerance "limit," was
only around 10 to 15 grams. After a year, I was probably up to 20 to 30 grams daily. After 4 or 5 years, I think it was around 50 grams daily. My point being, it took a long time to get to my current "limit."
Am I surprised at that limit? Yes, I would say that I am [although I have now become accustomed to it after this past year or so]. I do [now that I think of it] remember being quite amazed over the years as my Bowel Tolerance [limit] just continued to creep up! Will it go higher? I do not know, and I guess I do not care. I am a "true believer" in the health efficacy of ascorbic acid [and its abundance of "free"/extra/alkalinizing/toxin neutralizing/antioxidizing
electrons], and so I want to ingest daily as much as I can absorb! As an aside, although my overall health [dental excepted] has always been above average, I have seen it get even better over the years, even as I have gotten older, stopped any-and-all exercise [a little walking excepted], and my diet has gotten worse [albeit probably still above "average"].
There may also be the issue of my two root canals. In 2002, and then again in 2009, I got a root canal. I have had [multiple] mercury amalgam fillings in my teeth since childhood [and still have six, along with four gold crowns and one porcelain crown]. So [all of] that certainly may have contributed to my greater use/need of/for ascorbate [although I am unconscious of any "spike" in my Bowel Tolerance (limit) after any those procedures]. But, it is
my belief, that the "normally"/typically
unhealthy person, e.g. with the "normally"/typically "clogged"/encumbered GI tract, root canals or no, can
not start orally ingesting at that level. And so my encouragement, to any-and-all that will listen, to continue to "press" their Bowel Tolerance limit forward/upward, to gain and maintain the very
best health possible [for them].
Best of success to you, Nine, and I [for one] do look forward to hearing of your continued experience(s) using this health modality.
Just my viewpoint and "two cents worth,"
David
JFYI, I have ingested a Bowel Tolerance dose of ascorbic acid [via one gram tablets], in HEALTH, not illness [of which I have had virtually none], basically every day since 1994, amounting to [currently], on average, 75+ grams [daily], in 10 to 15 divided doses.
