I never get diarrhea from vitamin C - no matter how much I take. I tried doing a flush a couple of weeks back and it took me over 50 grams just to have a BM - not loose. I read that Russ took megadoses after his amalgam removal. Are there dangers to too much vitamin C or does my body really need it right now and that is why I am not getting diarrhea? I don't want to do more harm than good - I take 4.5 powdered grams in juice and 8 grams in capsules - buffered throughout the day. I am using calcium ascorbate with potassium and magnesium. I also take magnesium supplements - about 1200 mg a day and still nothing. I will try the licorice root tea but don't feel like leaving the house today - I feel yucky day 7 of removal.
