 Allergy attack
I took a total of 12 g's of VC w/ 6200 g's of lysine. When I got home this evening, I started w/ some severe rhinitis. Suggestions before I resort to an antihistamine?

 Re: Allergy attack
I am confused. Are you saying the attack occurred after taking the vitamin C and lysine?
Cathcart describes dosages needed for allergies here: http://www.orthomed.com/titrate.htm You might require 50-60 grams.
If you think it is a cold, then we recommend: 8 g every 20 minutes for 2 to 3 hours, see: http://www.vitamincfoundation.org/surefire.htm
Do not forget to up your vitamin D this time of year - we can usually make it from cholesterol under then skin when exposed to sunlight. In fall/winter, we require vitamin D3 pills to stay cold free.

 Re: Allergy attack
Owen, I have to tell you; I found someone saying in a thread that if you take some doses of nasal drops made w/ VC it would help. Boy, did it burn-but you know what? It worked! 20 minutes I felt better.

 Re: Allergy attack
Did you feel better for a period of 20 minutes or did you start feelling better 20 minutes after using the drops?

 Re: Allergy attack
Sorry about that; I felt better in 20 minutes after taking the drops. I would go to the extent to say that it cleared up the symptoms completely.

 Re: Allergy attack
If it burned, sounds like ascorbic acid. World expert Robert Cathcart recommended only sodium ascorbate up the nasal passage

 Re: Allergy attack
It was the ascobic; I am sure the buffered version helped! The ascorbate is buffered w/ baking soda, correct?

 Re: Allergy attack
Add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda to 1 teaspoon of ascorbic acid in a few ounces of water. This is close enough to sodium ascorbate to get the job done. Wait until the fizzing stops. (The exact proportions to make sodium ascorbate require a gram scale.)
I think Pauling mentions the nasal application on p. 31 of HTLLAFB?
