Your dad did not almost die from vitamin c. You probably failed to mention the prescription drugs he takes....

Regarding bitterness, Calcium Ascorbate is the worst by far (disgusting really imho), Sodium Ascorbate is mostly just salty (the best tasting chewable C's use mostly sodium ascorbate), and Potasium Ascorbate is quite yummy ... but you cant' buy it because if you take too much you'll OD on the potasium (18 grams Potasium /Day can kill you: hyperkalemia) but you can make your own with Potasium bicarbonate + Vit C + water.

Excellent info, concisely presented.

@song7791 well he was on prescription flu medication too so maybe that combined with the mega dosing of vitamin C caused it to happen. the doctors aren't 100% sure why he got the bleeding ulcer so who knows. but thankfully he's cool now. he still takes vitamin C but only 500mg a day. apparently he took the flu pills on an empty stomach so maybe that caused something too. maybe it was some mad drug interaction between the vitamin c and the flu tablets, i don't know.

@misterchuckle and poor dad you have!! i took 10 000 mg vit c and havent had flu for 10 years!

@cooldaddyy my dad had flu and took mega doses of vitamin C because he read that megadosing it would be good for getting rid of it. he took about 8000mg per day for a week and ended up almost dying. he developed a bleeding ulcer in his gut and had to be given blood. if had not been given the gallon or so of blood he would have died. i'm convinced TOO MUCH VITAMIN C IS HARMFUL. but then again too much of anything, even water, can kill you.

I agree !!
I take 15 grams (15,000mg) everyday. That is 30 500mg pills per day. They are taken in dynamic flow at 1.5 grams every hour for 10-12 hours roughly. I also take 5 grams of L-Lysine and 2.5 grams of L-Proline and 100mcg of Vitamin K2 per day. I have had this regimen for the last 2 months. My blood pressure has gone from 140/90 to 110/60. I used to have arrhythmia's every day and my last was 6 weeks ago.
Willis, Rath, Pauling, Cathcart and others knew what they were talking about.

Good video. The information meshes well with Dr. Matthias Rath's metastudy of Vitamin C at the Linus Pauling Institute. You can read his book, "Why Animals Don't Get Heart Attacks ... But People Do!" in PDF form online for free, and learn more about the effects of Vitamin C on the immune and circulatory systems.
