[It has been known for decades that we are chronically depleted of vitamin C, and that it will cure, ameliorate, prevent or reverse numerous diseases, (eg infectious diseases, cot-death, Heart Disease) as shown by Linus Pauling, Irwin Stone, Dr Klenner MD, Archie Kalokerinos M.D., among many others, but the medical mafia have suppressed this knowledge, mostly by completely ignoring it, and CODEX is their latest attempt.]

For example, Codex may establish a 2000 mg upper limit for vitamin C as previously proposed by the National Academy of Sciences, or as low as 225 mg which was recently established by German health authorities. Controlled studies do not support the use of either number.

I was under the impression that the body uses X amount of Vit C and what isn't used is harmlessly passed through the urinary tract. It doesn't build up in the body.

Vitamin C is also the "driver" in many vitamins. It certainly has been around long enough.

bsl4doc, I will not respond to you at all in this topic no matter what you say.
My pharmacist told me vitamin C acted as something that stimulated the effect of other vitamins, much like caffeine stimulates the effect of some medicines. Is that not correct?

Yes, it is...
L-Lysine used with vitamin C will lower your cholesterol. Vitamin C will also help your body use calcium more efficiently.
There are probably many others, but that is all I'm aware of at present.
I don't think that's correct at all....could you provide the reactions, mechanisms, or proteins that are involved?

No I cannot, I'm not a doctor I'm a maintenance technician.
I know it works, and my doctor knows it works. He has been recommending it to other patients.
I got off Coumadin with Ginko Biloba, I fixed my hypothyroidism problem by supplying my thyroid with the right nutrients. Did they teach you that in college?
Please leave me alone, I do not wish to argue with you in this topic. That isn't the purpose of this topic.

That is correct. The only downside is that vitamin C only has an in vivo, biologically-active half life of 30 minutes.
That means that those people who take 500mg once a day are actually not doing themselves any good and should be breaking it up over several smaller doses throughout the day.
Also, massive doses of ascorbic acid (form of vitamin C) is linked to higher risk of kidney stones. Not a pleasant experience, I'm sure.
