Not that I know of.
57 years old, blood pressure is about 120 over 80.
Exercise enough to totally sweat up four to five days a week.
No diabetes, asthma, or anything else that I know of. Thumbs are a little sore maybe arthritis is beginning.
Red wine or beer on weekends only after 5:00pm. Still take lots of vitamins. Plan to walk the Appalachian trail in three years when I retire.
After all this I'll probably have a stroke or something next week.
That's a lot better than I had been doing with the sarcoid. If you do run into auto-immune stuff like arthritis that can't be cured by Vitamin D - you might try the MP.
Did you really take 10grams a day? 1+ gram a day of VitC was about all I could tolerate.
Oh, and be sure to contact Dr Greg Blaney (via www.marshallprotocol.com) for progress on his MS patients.
Yes, I took a lot of liquids water, fruit juices, soda. The water and other liquids were to dissolve any extra C so it would (hopefully) not harm the kidneys.
I was really desperate and scared from everything I had heard about sarcoidosis. I am not sure about how long I did it, but it was one to three months.
Very little alcohol. At the time I had recently given up tobacco.
Today, I take ESTER C about 500mgs per day. The pain in the thumb joints is minor and does not even exist for 90% of the day. Do not even take aspirin.
I do take Glucosamine and Condroitin and MSM.
Good luck to you. Maybe me taking the high dose Vitamin C at the onset of the disease helped.
Do you have a ping list I could jump on to?
