Hi Lolex - welcome! I see you are taking 18 g of C a day so did you just pick that number at random. I try and approach bowel tolerance every day and currently take >30 g a day. Bowel tolerance is really the only way we know if we are getting all we can use - at least using pills or powder.

AFAIK, Pauling Therapy would tend to dissolve plaque not "break it off" - after all, it is a chemical reaction not a mechanical action. IMO Pauling Therapy would be the least dangerous of treatments for plaque buildup.

As usual, TJ, well said!

Thanks for the feedback everyone... I picked 18gms as it was the higher limit in the Pauling Therapy Recommendations, and before I'd read about titrating to bowel tolerance. I guess this is near my limit because this level makes me fart (which I don't usually do) and its given me the squitts on a couple of occasions.

I might try increasing it but I don't want to get caught short on the Bus or at a Meeting.

Cheers for now....

Hi Lolex,

Yes, it does indeed sound like you are near your current Bowel Tolerance limit.

I assume you are familiar with Dr. Cathcart's "Titrating to Bowel Tolerance" article? If not, I encourage you to read at least the first ten paragraphs of it http://vitamincfoundation.org/www.ortho ... itrate.htm. My only recommendation to you [if you want the very best of health possible] is to continue to press your Bowel Tolerance limit forward/upward [as your circumstances allow].

Over the past 20 years, I have seen my Bowel Tolerance limit go from a starting limit of 10 to 15 grams per day, to my current Bowel Tolerance limit of 75 to 100 grams per day. I believe this is primarily because I have cleaned up/out my GI tract. The results to me have been no sickness, no doctors, no drugs [all-the-while growing older (I am just shy of 65)].

Just my viewpoint as "grist for your mill."

Best wishes, Lolex,

David

Well, I've survived so far.... so I guess Johnson-nb's on track with his response that "AFAIK, Pauling Therapy would tend to dissolve plaque not "break it off" - after all, it is a chemical reaction not a mechanical action".

I'd be very interested if anyone has some facts or information, references on this.

I'm on leave for four weeks very soon and when I get back I'm in for an Angiogram.

It'll be interesting to see what they find.

I feel as healthy as ever did over the last 5 years or so. In fact the Vitamin C seems to have given me more 'energy' and sharpened my mind... I don't think that I'm imagining that.

Cheers for now !
