Hi again. Had a small break from this forum and stopped also taking anything (getting too stressful symptoms). The reason why I dont recommend megadosing vitamins is the same as that why you have to be careful with things like ALA, NAC etc. It can work for some, but not for all. Throwing in megadoses of vit C, E or selenium into a body that is *able to detox well*, and has a high burden of candida/mercury, yeah whatever you think is causing your problems, can backfire. Like I said, the backfire was not big, about being sick for a weekend, and the symptoms were about the same as that of taking garlic (diarrhoea, urinating foamy stuff, and generally feeling like crap) - I strongly suspect a candida relation here. But there is no way I can keep a sustained 1 g of vit C intake per day, without being ill the whole time. C, E & selenium are still safe in the way that they will screw you up usually for only a few days, or at most a week. ALA is known to backfire much more severly, recovery times being months, but ALA has not backfired on me, even with modest doses (20 mg every 3 hours).

The worst experience I have ever had in my life was from taking megadoses of B12, got hyperthyroid for weeks, but on paper everything was fine of course (tests revealed no flaws anywhere). This is another reason why you have to be careful about selenium too, because it also affects in a major way the way T4,T3 conversion works like B12. Again, this doesn't happen to everybody, it is an issue only for those who are not hypothyroid.
