Hi everyone,
I was reading around these days, and i had asked myself some questions.
This maybe has to do with the Tiritation method of pure ascorbic acid, taken by mouth and dissolved in water.
I'll try my best to be concise =)
1) Is there a "tiritation method" indicated in a "specific procedure"?.
From what I have understood from Cathcart ( http://orthomolecular.org/library/jom/1981/pdf/1981-v10n02-p125.pdf ), changing the frequency can also alter the absorption and by consequence the saturation threshold.
Does this mean that i can have a tiritation value in grams that is different depending on the dosage amount and frequency?.
2) From what I have understood, in a healthy person the absorption of vitamin C taken orally hugely depends on the amount.
In this case at 1 gram the absorption rate floats around 75% (correct?)
My question is.. does this percentage change when a person is sick? is there a proportion?.
I have read another post where a user has taken "heaping tablespoons" when sick and yet without having any diahrrea.
Does this mean a much bigger percentage is absorbed even at such huge dosage?.
I haven't read the book from Hickey, and I think the dynamic flow model speaks about this.. I think i have missed something pretty big
3) Can oral vitamin C be taken for any kind of sickness? or is there a threashold after which IV is the only way to go?.
I am aware that IV is much more concentrated and effective for serious diseases but.. can theorically someone manage his serious sickness only with oral ascorbic acid taken in very huge amounts and frequency?.
What is your view on this?.
These are my biggest doubts, anyone that can help me understand better is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
M.
