Hi Lillyblossom,

I'm sorry to say that link you posted won't really cut it - it appears all over the net in many different publications - it's a syndicated "dear doctor" letter, with *no details* whatsoever to back it up - and putting MD after your name means diddlysquat, we still need the references he got his information from.

I put "daily dose of 400 IU of vitamin C for so long that I have forgotten why I take it" into google, which came up with at least 100 identical inclusions on many different sites. Doesn't mean it's correct, though - it might be, but one would need more backup references to judge that.

Many of us here like to have citations (details and dates of research publications) if possible, when discussing these kind of specifics, since the net has so much rubbish and questionable material on it (I mean, anyone can write anything, ya know?)

Here is a good link for Vitamin C research:
http://www.vitamincfoundation.org/
As you'll see, it lists lots of stuff, some positive, some negative, but it certainly shows that Vitamin C seems helpful in treating some types of cancer.
And also, here:

As far as Vitamin C regarding RSD goes, I put some links in my previous post in this thread. As you'll see, there is no doubt that the research is going in a very interesting direction, especially when you open up the topic to antioxidants in general.

Happy reading!
all the best
