Hey mike! (wave)
There is an awesome article about vit c curing allergies. (did you get Dr. Levy's book when we were at the clinic?) I'm reading a bunch of vitamin c books right now and they basically say that many many many people are walking around, unknowingly borderline SCURVY!!! YES. In this day and age!!! because doctors (or ourselves) don't know what to look for!!! It tells this story of this poor young woman who went thru I think 4 yrs of bleep. Surgery after surgery, pooling blood in her stomach, operating to suck it out etc. etc. until finally ONE DOCTOR thought to ask her what she ate. She had no vit c in her diet at all despite the fact she lived in California. Plus when we get sick, have children, are stressed our bodies are robbed so rapidly and of copious amounts. I was just reading an article today about the connection with SIDS and vit c deficiency.... Anyhow thought I'd pass this on as these are both specific to sodium ascorbate helping/eliminating allergies. wendy canada http://www.regenerativenutrition.com/content.asp?id=420 The Immune system, allergy and auto-immune disorders in relation to Sodium Ascorbate The availability of the sodium salt of ascorbic acid for oral use represents a marked advance in the therapeutic approach to allergy. In many cases considerable relief from allergic manifests and in some cases even striking and dramatic improvement. The sodium form of ascorbate is thought to improve adrenal metabolism. This regular use of sodium ascorbate at least one gram twice daily has been found in clinical studies as far back as the 1940's to have a high degree of success in the resolution of hay fever and asthma. (See the article Sodium Ascorbate in the Treatment of Allergic Disturbances for details of asthma and hay fever treatment and also some discussion as to why the sodium form of vitamin C is by in large the preferable form). These conditions are related to an under functioning of the adrenal glands in the sense of failure to produce enough natural steroids. This in turn is related to an over activity of one wing of the immune system, tending to produce the self-attack syndrome that pays a part not only in asthma but all auto-immune disorders. The fact that clinical trials have been done on asthma and allergy sufferers is not an indication that sodium ascorbate is only therapeutic for these auto-immune disorders, but rather a strong indication that all auto-immune disorders will tend to be helped with sodium ascorbate use, as the mechanisms described are not specific to asthma only but to all auto-immune disorders. I refer the reader to my article Factors Involved In Auto-Immune Disorders And Effective, Natural Treatment Protocols and also to the use of Sterols and Sterolins to further understand and alleviate auto-immune disorders. I believe that most chronic (long term, rather than short episodes) disease has an auto-immune component, where there is excess activity/production of B cells and under activity /production of T cells. http://www.seanet.com/~alexs/ascorbate/194x/ruskin-sl-am_j_digest_dis_19 47-v14-n9-p302.htm scroll down in this article for chart of cases, dosages and outcomes. <snip> Sodium Ascorbate in the Treatment of Allergic Disturbances: Ruskin, The American Journal of Digestive Diseases, September 1947 "The availability of the sodium salt of ascorbic acid for oral use represents a marked advance in the therapeutic approach to allergy. In refractory cases of allergy and asthma sodium ascorbate was more effective than ascorbic acid." [AscorbateWeb Editorial: The use of sodium ascorbate in allergies instead of ascorbic acid may seem like a fine point, but the author of this study presents ample clinical evidence with a sound biochemical basis. Anywhere from 300 to 1500 mg/day gave great relief to the patients, whose case histories and comments are interesting to read. One young patient received iron injections for anemia; we know today (see 1995 Sharma study) that ascorbate so enhances dietary iron absorption that supplemental iron salts would probably have been unnecessary. At any rate, most current allergy "remedies" have potentially dangerous side-effects and raise significant toxicity issues ... unlike sodium ascorbate.] <end snip> -----Original Message----- From: M.

Dear Ken (Ode), Several times in the past you've mentioned reducing or eliminating your pollen sensitivity by "licking the windshield." I'm entering ragweed season here which usually makes me miserable from late august through the first frost. I'm going to try your technique. -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
