If I remember right Linus Pauling used to take 20,000mg or some such of Vit C every day. Most people would get stomach cramps and diarrhea at those dose but Linus apparently built up tolerance. It could be 10,000mg I am not sure.
those = that
Alot of Linus’ findings are not in vogue/rescinded studies. I think he might have had strange personal beliefs, too.
If I remember correctly, I think it was closer to 10,000 mg. Personally I have been taking around 7 grams a day for many years. I have several common allergens. I take 2 grams morning and bedtime, and 1 or 2 grams during the day when nasal congestion becomes annoying. Two grams before house cleaning as house dust is one of my allergens. Dr.Robert Cathcard says normal people would be wise to take 4 grams a day, spaced out over around 5 or 6 hours. He has recommended as much as 100 to 200 grams a day for some very severe illnesses/infections. When you start to have runny bowel movements cut back your dose a bit. That is what Cathcart refers to as “treating to bowel tolerance.”
