Where can pure ascorbic acid in powder form be purchased? -----Original Message----- From: felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org [mailto:felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org] On Behalf Of S.

Thanks for sharing your interest and experience, Wendy. I appreciate your positive feedback. FYI, several thousand mg of pure ascorbic acid taken hourly for 24 hours at first notice of any cold symptoms will work even faster to eradicate the cold before it gets any kind of foothold. This also applies to animals, as I give mine both oral vitamin C daily and subcutaneous vitamin C injections at the first sign of a sneeze or sniffle, which is now rare. It is virtually impossible to take too much or give them too much. Interestingly, from a bowel standpoint the body can tolerate (and needs) thousands more milligrams of vitamin C when under stress from illness. The minimum daily intake of vitamin C for prevention of illness and heart disease is 3,000 mg, according to Linus Pauling, so it's easy to see why there is so much illness in this country when the RDA for C is only 70 mg. Most animals (except cats and dogs) make nearly 10,000 mg of vitamin C daily in the liver, while humans make none, and cats and dogs make only the human equivalent of 2800 mg daily. I had a severe rotator cuff tear last year that would put me on the ground writing in pain until it dawned on me that I should be taking three times the amount of vitamin C that I was It is important to note that the best kind of vitamin C to take for this purpose is pure ascorbic acid in powder form without excipients, preservatives, or fillers. Tablet vitamin C is really only intended to be taken at the levels written on the bottle because of these additives and it is really not safe to take drugstore vitamin C at the high levels that Pauling recommended as required by the human body on a daily basis for collagen synthesis and protection from viruses and heart disease. Also, the buffered forms of vitamin C (Ester C, sodium ascorbate, calcium ascorbate, magnesium ascorbate, etc.) are not nearly as potent or effective orally as ascorbic acid. Before my work in this area I had a cold every month all winter long. I have now had only one cold in the past 10 years and that was only because I was away from home and without my C. Despite exposure to others with colds, flus, etc., including my children who don't always want to take their C, I have never come down with any of it, and when I feel like I might be, I start dosing C by the thousands of mg each hour and it always works. The health we have seen in the past 10 years has certainly made me understand and appreciate Linus Pauling's expression, "Never be without your C, not even for a single day." Truly, I could not survive without it, nor could the animals in my care. Sally Snyder Jewell Tower Laboratories Corporation www.HeartTech.com 1-877-TOWER-LABS Practicing Medicine Without a License?
