Vitamin C is water-soluble, so consuming more than the body needs will result in it being excreted in urine.

Did you read the paper? It speaks for itself.

Seems like good information to tuck away for when I decide to begin my career as a pirate.

I will continue to only eat meat & drink water. Today is my 996th day utilizing this wonderful, ancestrally appropriate way of eating.
I take no supplements. Meat supplies all the nutrition I need to thrive!

I read the paper and did the math. Taking 100 grams of Vitamin C is 100,000 milligram, which is 16,6666.6% of the daily rate. The central dogma of orthomolecular medicine seems to be that if some nutrient is good, megadoses of that nutrient are much better and can cure anything. Since Vitamin C is water-soluble, consuming more than the body needs will result in it being excreted in urine. That means it's not to stick around in the body to do much good, if it even does do good. That's going to make a lot of Vitamin C down the toilet.
Flushing sound . . .

Partner, there is so much Bravo Sierra in this supposedly medical paper.
This sounds like it would come out of sorry 81 year old Speaker Nancy Pelousy's mouth. 81 year old Pelousy has got to be the worst Speaker of the House ever!!! I ain't lying either.
BTW, I take 7000 mg of vitamin C and I have not had the Flu in about 12 years now.
I overheard a person say that he had been taking Vitamin about 12 yrs. ago and he had not had a flu or cold symptom for over 15 years.
I started taking 7000 mg of vit. C and 100 mg of Zinc and Vitamin D exactly as he mentioned.

There is a ten minute video on YouTube of Cathcart describing how to prepare a solution of water and sodium ascorbate for use in an IV drip. Some believe this to be an effective cancer treatment when used in high doses. They recommend three days a week for several weeks. If done professionally, it could run $300 or more per application. My wife had cancer but we couldn’t afford it, so I was trying to learn how to administer an IV but it was too late. IV bags of sterile water for human use are about $100, vs $10 for veterinary use. Sterile water is sterile, right?

Humans, du to a genetic mutation that occurred In primates long ago, do not naturally produce vitamin C like most other animals.
The amount of vitamin C that is considered the RDA is a joke.
For example, a healthy dog produces 18mg of vitamin C per day per pound of weight. A healthy goat produces 80 mg a day per lb of weight
Yet the RDA for an adult human is less than 1mg per lb per day.
Studies have shown again and again the benefits, even among animals that make it themselves that vitamin C supplements aid in their health and boost their immune systems. Not surprising since it’s an anti inflammatory.

“SUMMARY A method of utilizing vitamin C in amounts just short of the doses which produce diarrhea...”
My hemorrhoids appreciate the diarrhea.

Ahem! High dose vitamin C can result in kidney stones (contrary to the article). Also, the body makes oxalate stones from exposure to mold (from fruit and cantaloupe), lack of Vitamin B-6, lack of a calcium binder, and high dose Vitamin C. The oxalate stones can cause breast cancer, heart attacks from blocked arteries, arthritis, dementia and autism. If you are going to take high dose Vitamin C, only do so when under extreme stress from flu, etc., otherwise high dose Vitamin C can be debilitating and even lethal.

Here here. If sailors had not eaten the grain products they would not have gotten the scurvy in the first place. The body takes Vitamin C to process the grains.
Those interested in the effects of grains on the body and health risks might also want to read “Undoctored.”
