Project Vitamin C

Lately, I have been thinking a lot about my need for large amounts of the ascorbic acid. Some people here think that vitamin C slows down detoxification of vitamin A. Since we do not make ascorbic acid, we need some amount to function (at least that’s what a popular theory says which might not be true. How much is a good question, especially as we need to compensate for many outside negative influences - again as the theory says.
There were times when I was taking 10 000 mg daily in divided doses without negative effects. At present I know that I need 4000 mg to keep the blood blisters from forming inside my mouth. However, if this is just stopping the flood that needs to be drained, then maybe weening myself off of it would be helpful in the long run.
I am going to reread Grant’s post about scurvy for inspiration and reassurance.
I would like to use this space for this experiment.
16 Feb. 4000 mg (4x1000) daily after several weeks of 3000mg. Increased due to spots on the inside cheeks and tongue blisters.
17 Feb. 3000 mg (3x1000) daily and on the way to slowly decrease the amount.
18 Feb. 3000 mg (4x750) woke up with a dark spot on the side of tongue that resolved during the day.
19 Feb. 2250 mg (3x750) feel fine, no blister, a slight darkish spot on the side of tongue.
20 Feb. 2250 mg (3x750) no change
21 Feb. 2250 mg (3x750) noticed increase tinnitus soon after dosing
22 Feb. 750 mg morning dose - and definitely increased tinnitus right after
23 Feb. 1500 mg (3x500) going down nicely l no blood blisters so far.
24 Feb. 1000 mg (2 x500)
25 Feb. 1500 mg (3x500) felt dizzy in the morning; better after a swift walk but gen. dragging my feet
26 Feb. 2000 mg (4x500) had to i crease the dose as some slight tooth ache for which I started to high dose C reappeared. Felt tired.
27 Feb. 500 mg + 3 tsp. whole foods vitamin C. My blood vessels are bursting on a light touch! Got a bruise when I held a vacuum cleaner’s tube. This makes me believe that I need to ramp up the dose and fast. Noticed a very small blood blister in the mouth
28 Feb. 3000 (3x1000) felt right to increase the dose. Will stay on it for the time being and hope to avoid the blood blisters.
