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.

COMPLICATIONS
It is my experience that ascorbic acid probably prevents most kidney stones. I have had a few patients who had had kidney stones before starting bowel tolerance doses who have subsequently had no more difficulty with them. Acute and chronic urinary tract infections are often eliminated; this fact may remove one of the causes of kidney stones. Six patients have had mild pain on urination; five of these patients were over fifty and none had stones.
