4g sodium bicarb. Mix in water bottle and drink throughout day

Good idea to add Lypo-C. One before bed is a good plan.
You say 10 g is your C tolerance, but you are only taking 4 g SA daily? (According to lab experiments by Sherry Lewin, (Vitamin C: Its Biology and Medical Potential) vitamin C degrades 50% in 4 hours in water. So after 4 hours what ever is left of that 4 g has degraded 50% (in water.)
The problem seems to me that you aren't getting the amount of vitamin C you require
for optimal metabolism. You should aim closer to the 10 g, perhaps more as ascorbic acid.

Does PT cause this kind of initial response?
Is there any scientific evidence that a cholesterol level below 300 is a bad thing? If so, could you pass along a few references? Thanks in advance.123xyz wrote:Cholesterol going from 185 to 231 could be caused by diet.
Are you saying to take in divided doses? That would be fine. Do you mean I shouldn't mix w/ sodium bicarb? If that is what you are saying I will try that. Thanks for the quick reply.

First of all, I wanted to make sure that you are only taking 4000 mg daily. That seems to me crucial. But yes, I would divide the dosage (30 minute half life) and there is an issue of the vitamin C breaking down in the water. Taking sodium bicarbonate is probably okay, but all our very positive results (Cardio-C and Tower Pauling-therapy products) are formulated with ascorbic acid. As Dr. Cathcart explained, he considered AA to be "twice as powerful" as any mineral ascorbate, including sodium ascorbate. I think that at least "some" of the oral vitamin C should be ascorbic acid, and when you mix, this probably happens, as only some converts to sodium ascorbate.
As far as the accuracy of the VAP tests. After an experience looking at Scott Bushy's VAP, I have become less enamored with the VAP test. For example, Atherotech seems to have succumbed to "market" pressure, and no longer separate Lp(a) in the various sub groups! I don't know what else may have happened. I suspect that if you read between the lines, their test measures cholesterol differently. Perhaps they are reporting in terms of a standard cholesterol, like they do with Lp(a). I don't see why they might do this, but their numbers are often differnt. Perhaps they measure the number of particles, and report in terms of the weight of that many standard particles. I guess it is time to go to their web site or call them.
Could taking the vitamin c have given me a temporary spike in the LDL components?

Another bit of evidence comes from a professor at a New York medical school. he had been taking vitamin C and lysine for years but his Lp(a) was still elevated. He made one change to his supplements, he added proline. After six months his Lp(a) had dropped by 30 percent, and after 14 months, his Lp(a) was zero.

Are you also taking proline?
Edited after checking facts in my book..

Interesting about the "bump" in your cholesterol numbers, but I still question those results.
