I agree that commonsense thinking is that vitamins and minerals should be taken in as natural a state as possible, but Pauling said that his research showed that plain ascorbic acid was as good as anything more expensive with bioflavonoids etc. After I'd read one of Pauling's books and did some research myself, I lost any fear I had of taking large amounts of vitamin C, and it's been enormously helpful for me.
Yeah I felt better and did good on around 10 g a day for a while myself, the thing is the diarreah would get to me and I don't need that if you now me wink I go enough anyways!


I read what Linus has written as well and yes he is very knowledgeable and I would trust alot of what he says. I am against high dosages of certain things, I guess C is not really one of them to be scared of but cautious and monitor if it depletes anything else over time, you don't want that.

I used to visit a site, wonder if www.cforyourself.com is up, time to check that out again.

In Sanskrit, tulsi means literally "the incomparable one" and has been revered since ancient times. Tulsi, the holy basil, is said to have grown at the site of Christ’s crucifixion and is associated with St. Basil’s feast.
