Guest guest Posted August 17, 2001 Report Share Posted August 17, 2001 I've never tried this, but the only side effects I would guess would be perhaps bitterness (which perhaps drying the peels may mellow, or it may concentrate the oils like limonene - ??), or diarrhea, as the afforementioned ascorbic acid flush discussed. Steve ----------------------------- I have noticed Penny. I kept thinking " was it Penny that was moving???? No! that was Peela. Where's Penny? " I know this isn't rocket science, but how much of this type of vitamin c do you take? How can you accurately guage it. I know it's water soluble, but I just don't want any unpleasant surprises.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2001 Report Share Posted August 18, 2001 One of my reference books has 8 mg. of vitamin C for a Tbs. of orange peel & lemon peel; assumedly fresh (and do't know how cocentrated the drying would make it, or if organic would make a difference). Just watch out for the first try to see if you have an allergic reaction if you've never tried this before! In Health, Steve ----------------------------- Dear Penny, I do this when I can get Organic citrus but there is not good stuff right now... Also I am unsure of the dose one would get from say a teaspoon of citrus peels??? Do you have any idea?

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2001 Report Share Posted August 18, 2001 Hi Penny, Has Ian been writing about that? I feel ridiculous that I missed it, but I remember you once wrote about that, and I loved the whole idea and have even done it. Only two things for me are I'm not sure how much of the ground-up peels equal at least 500 mg. at a time...and also do you have to get all the pith out of it? Because really, I don't get all the pith out of it, and then that leaves me feeling insecure, wondering if I'm doing something nutritionally unsound. I just always love to see your names in emails because I always know it's going to be something great! Love, Valerie Dear All, I have not been able to receive HR posts for the last week , mycomputer has been having its own personal brand of the "blondies"(Idon't suppose anyone actually noticed -HOWEVE- feeling a little bitmiffed) and so have been unable to comment......

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2001 Report Share Posted August 18, 2001 The pith makes it more bitter!

I think they are good for counteracting arthritis and a lot of other bone and muscle complaints.Jennie On the other hand, Steve, since I think a "normal" dose of vitamin C is 500 mg, wouldn't 8 mg. of vitamin C for a Tbs. make it kind of pointless? I kind of like the flavor of it in my drinks....it makes it kind of sweet, I think. I've dried organic oranges when I've done this before. One of my reference books has 8 mg. of vitamin C for a Tbs. of orange peel & lemon peel; assumedly fresh (and do't know how cocentrated the drying would make it, or if organic would make a difference). Just watch out for the first try to see if you have an allergic reaction if you've never tried this before! Valerie Make international calls for as low as $0.04/minute with Messenger.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2001 Report Share Posted August 18, 2001 I just found the link of the Amla vitamin C I recently began using.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2001 Report Share Posted August 18, 2001 Hi, I don't know what I think, but I sure found this part interesting, considering what Steve had said: Just 8.7mg of natural vitamin C complex from amla is equivalent to 100 mg of the most commonly used synthetic vitamin C. I just sent them an email asking if there is any corn in their product, though it doesn't appear that there is. It "sounds" like a good product, but whoever knows about these things with all the great marketing. Is this a brand you are familiar with? I haven't heard of it, but that doesn't mean anything negative either. Valerie thessabelcher wrote: I just found the link of the Amla vitamin C I recently began using.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2001 Report Share Posted August 18, 2001 Hi Valerie I had never heard of this brand before buying it on my recent trip to ohio. I simply scoured the Vit C shelf based on what I think I have learned about supplements and especially vitamin C in the past few years. The reason I decided on this one is because I had heard great things about the Amla berry previously, I feel it's best to get any supplement in a form closest to it's natural state, it also contains spirulina, Vitamin A and Vitamin B12 (or claims to) and 1% of the proceeds go to "Saving the Rain Forest and Supporting Indigenous Peoples". I'm taking it as a part of getting rid of Candida, and the protocol I'm following is sure working. Of course there are a lot more items than this one, so who really knows... thessa >Valerie >herbal remedies >herbal remedies >Re: [herbal remedies] Re: Vitamin C/Jamie >Sat, 18 Aug 2001 12:59:07 -0700 (PDT) > > > Hi, >I don't know what I think, but I sure found this part interesting, considering what Steve had said: >Just 8.7mg of natural vitamin C complex from amla is equivalent to 100 mg of the most commonly used synthetic vitamin C. > >I just sent them an email asking if there is any corn in their product, though it doesn't appear that there is.
