You are probably right Chuck, and the Vit C - lysine thing was supposed to be Linus Paulings recommended protocol. I suppose it is the old adage i.e. What suits one, will not suit another. Dee

In all the time since, I've never heard of C being a blood thinner, and because I have a heart condition, I am vitally interested in blood thinners (desirable in my case). C and the bioflavenoids strengthen tissue. A specific for bleeding gums. C is a specific for scurvy, which sounds like the symptoms you describe. C has alway been a major cornerstone of my personal health regimen. I take 8 to 16 grams daily. I have never differentiated as to type, I take plain ascorbic acid. I look upon those that prefer non-corn sources or other C preparations as nitpickers with money to spare, as my experience doesn't justify it. But it all comes down to self experimentation. YMMV Chuck Two antennae's meet on a roof, fall in love get married. The ceremony wasn't much but the reception was brilliant.
