High vitamin C user has TIA (mini stroke)

[ofonorow]

Hi Owen

It has been some time since we communicated. However I have a question.

I had an incident today that as best I can diagnose as a TIA. I was of the opinion that is very, if not completely impossible while on the High C regimen which I have been on now for about 2 years. It only lasted about 6 to 8 min. and then cleared up. I then felt completely normal as I remain to this hour. Have not yet consulted with a doctor.

I would like your opinion on the above if possible.

Thanks....A.

Buffing up on TIA... - You believe that there was some temporary clotting in your brain arteries, correct?

How much vitamin C are you taking and what drugs, if any are you taking?

Nothing is completely impossible.

According to Dr Levy (and it makes sense to me) in order for vitamin C to have optimal benefit there has to be enough intake daily to not only facilitate repair but also enough to overcome toxic load. One could very well be consuming what they consider to be high dose vit C (say 12g daily) but may also have a mouth full of filings and root canals that requires 15g a day of vit C to offset. In that example the individual would still be at a daily deficit that would not allow for the proper reversal of CVD.
