Just a questions bubbling in my mind, can you please help? Vitamin C is good for our health, right? But what if we take too much from the RDA or recommended dietary allowance of 75mg for women and 90mg for men, is it still healthy? I’m thinking to take supplements to boost my Vitamin C, coz I’m feeling not well today look like I feel a cold starting. I’m afraid at Doctor ever since that’s why I’ll make sure to eat orange or apple a day to keep him away. :P __________________

Lol doctors won’t bite you! I do some research to justify my small thoughts and here it is: the tolerable intake level of Vitamin C that our body can resist is 2000 mg / day, normally supplements contains 250-1000 mg per day so its still healthy. What I normally do when I got sneezing and not feeling well, i take 1000-1500 mg of Vitamin C, drink water and have some rest. FYI, papaya and strawberry had higher Vitamin C content than orange and apple. Well its worth to spend few bucks for the bottles rather than apples to take the doctor’s away! lol

Hello, I am trying to educate myself in every way to help my hubby/ superman try to have a better quality of life. We are in the beginning stages of his diagnosis after ten plus years of searching and going from doc to doc hearing everything from soup to nuts, but never a true belief of illness from any of them!!! GRRRR...ok, enough of that....I am in this new mode of questioning everything, our new coping skill, with the hope of getting answers as well as creating others to think of questions to ask, that may help get us all closer to better insight on the beast! I've posted a number of thoughts/questions, but not really still clear on it all, so is there another place to post medical questions/concerns, thoughts/ideas, and have some idea that the people who run the foundation will see it, or does everyone see everything we all submit?? Just tryin to put every thought out there! Knowledge is power and health is a gift worth it's weight in gold!!!
Many Thanks and Blessings...Superman's Girl
