Unknown illness, at bowel tolerance, effective Lypo-C dosage
Posted: Thu Sep 27, 2012 6:43 pm
I have an illness that causes (primarily) dull persistent headache, fatigue/very low energy level, and. . . I'm not sure what to call it, severe brain fog, cloudy thinking, poor concentration and memory, that kind of thing. These symptoms have been daily/chronic for 8 years, though I did have problems with them for another 9 years before that. I have been to some 40 doctors and specialists over the years, but the source and name of the illness remains an unknown.
Recent personal research online has led me to the Vitamin C Foundation forums, and I have been taking ascorbic acid orally. I am at bowel tolerance, which for me is 47,500 mg a day; 2,500 mg taken every 45 minutes during waking hours.
What I have noticed thus far:
- An infrequent tingling sensation near where the pain is, the sensation being more likely to happen when I use a rebounder (this never happened on a rebounder before when off the C).
- A jittery feeling, like I should have more energy, but instead I am just as weak as before.
- Some days more pain, and that usually in the latter half of the day. Last night I had stabbing pain on the ride side of my forehead.
- Sometimes my mind is even more clouded.
- Occasional nausea.
I have just under three boxes of Lypo-Spheric Vitamin C. 84 packets, to be exact. I will be adding Lypo-C to the current dosage of ascorbic acid, until the packets are gone. I would like to determine with as much certainty as I can whether vitamin C is something that will provide a measure of healing.
What is the most effective way I can use to determine if this is really something that could provide benefit, using only the 3 boxes that I have?
Take some packets one day, more the next, and keep increasing to see what will happen?
Take a whole box at one time?
Take 10+ packets every hour for a few hours?
From Dr. Klenner's method of IV treatment for severe illness, but using Lypo-C instead. (My illness is not severe in the sense of life-threatening, rather it is chronic and in some ways debilitating.)
350 mg * 74 (body weight, kg) * 2.5 (convert IV potency to AA) / 5 (convert to minimum Lypo-C potency) = 12950 mg = 13 packets
Perhaps since I am already taking just under 50,000 mg of ascorbic acid daily, I could lower that to about 10 packets an hour.
Something else?
Whichever method I use, should I also take extra right before bed?
I just want to make the best use of the Lypo-C that I have, to see if it will work. I look forward to the input, and thank all who have provided so much information on this site, especially Owen.
Regards,
David

For a very severe illness. . . . He gave at least 350 mg per kilogram of body weight. . . . repeated every hour for 6 to 12 times. . .
350 mg * 74 (body weight, kg) * 2.5 (convert IV potency to AA) / 5 (convert to minimum Lypo-C potency) = 12950 mg = 13 packets
