Vitamin C Flush

In order to determine the maximum level of vitamin C I can consume per day, Robert Cathcart suggested a protocol known as a "vitamin C flush" wherein increasing doses of vitamin C, up to 200 grams per day (i.e. 11,000 of my vitamin C tablets (1 tablet every 7.7 seconds)) are given until diarrhea develops, then choosing the highest dose that does not cause diarrhea.

He has reported clinical successes using massive vitamin C in treating influenza, hepatitis, mononucleosis, bacterial infection, yeast infections, stress, for recovery from burns, surgery and back pain. He also reports success treating herpes, arthritis and scarlet fever. He advocates massive vitamin C as potential treatments for avian flu, ebola virus, polio, irritable bowel syndrome, West Nile virus, Santa Clara flu, encephalitis, SARS, hemorrhagic fever, and cancer.
