    I'm going to try 5000mgs daily of absorbic acid powder in two 2500mg doses. I hope it brings some results, anything is worth a try at this point.

    It may be better to split this into three doses, not two, to maintain a more consistent high serum level of ascorbic acid (vitamin C).

    Keep us posted on your results.

    good point--it's water soluble and they say stressful events can deplete the body's stores of it quickly--good to keep the seurm levels steady if possible (I don't practice what I preach--I usually just gobble mine up in the morning with most of my other stuff--I think the ester C I am taking now is time released though)

    also, remember, if you begin taking high doses, not a good idea to abruptly stop

    glad you seem to be getting something out of it Ray

    I think most folks will need a lot more than that, at least to start. What you need to do is find your bowel tolerance level and then taper off a bit from there for a daily dosage, which is what I did. Your body is the best way to let you know how much it needs. Linus Pauling took 18,000mg daily.

    And yes, it's best to take it spread through the day - studies show after 4 hours it tapers off.

    Good luck!

    Ray:

    Will you continue with John of Ohio's regimen or just the vitamin C?

    I am continuing at maintenance levels of both and doing very well. As I posted in another thread here, I am doing excellently and there has been no trace of Meniere's so far. Not only that, so far I haven't gotten sick when others have all around me. Good news. :)

    Ray, that is excellent news. I've been on most of John of Ohio's regimen since mid-April, but with not much luck. He mentioned the longer a person has had MM, the less likely it could help . . . and I've had it for 40 years. :( Still, I'm convinced there is 'something' out there for all of us. It's just finding the right regimen for us.

    I would be interested to know how many milligrams of vitamin c you take Ray.

    Also I would be interested to know how many milligrams other people have taken that actually got results.

    I realize your answer is not your recommendation that I do the same. I am only interested as a basis of comparison.

    Thanx

    Fitness pioneer Jack LaLanne inspired TV viewers to trim down and pump iron. He died last Sunday - at age 96.

    LaLanne: (Into a blender, he inserts 400 vitamin supplements, a quart of carrot and celery juice, two tablespoons of wheat germ, two of brewer's yeast, a tablespoon of bonemeal, a banana, 100 liver-yeast tablets, 15,000 milligrams of Vitamin C, 2,000 units of Vitamin B, some boron, zinc, and 75 alfalfa and kelp tablets. He drinks it down.) That's the power of the juice!

    400 vitamin supplements? Is that a typo or something?

    I just read the link and the reporter does say "400 vitamin supplements". May be a typo on his part, unless Jack was REALLY into taking pills!

    He prob meant 400 pills. It sounds like he took 75 alfalfa pills alone.
